    Do you remember the last time that you decided to make a big change in your life? I’m not talking about doing something that is a part of daily life and living – like really wanting to go watch a movie or having an ice cream cone – I’m talking about something really huge – something that would ...read more

    A sermon about overcoming fear with the peace of Christ.

    “No Darkness is Too Great” John 21:19-23 On the evening of the day that Jesus rose from the dead we get a picture of a timid, frightened group of disciples. The doors are shut and locked. They are in hiding—in the darkness of a room. Obviously, they didn’t believe ...read more

    The tomb is empty

    1. The tomb was empty. “They (the women) found the stone rolled away . . . and found not the body of the Lord Jesus Christ” (Luke 24:2-3).

     | 6,531 views

    After Friday nobody expected what would happen on Sunday

    Nobody had expected this. It was only two days ago that the people of Jerusalem had watched as Jesus had been crucified as a heretic and a traitor to Rome. For three years Jesus had travelled throughout Israel. Preaching, teaching, healing the sick and feeding the hungry. He had quieted ...read more

  • Beyond A Reasonable Doubt

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Aug 19, 2023
     | 1,277 views

    At first the disciples doubted. But when faced with the evidence, they weighed it, tested it, and then acted upon it. Their verdict has stood the test of time. And the grounds on which they stood are the same grounds upon which we can stand.

    Why do you suppose is it that, faced with the same data, some people interpret it one way and some people interpret it another? You have only to look at the George Floyd riots – and the other ones later that year - to know that. Not even exhaustive investigations convince people whose minds are ...read more

  • "Doubt Cannot Hide The Resurrected Jesus”

    Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Apr 9, 2024
     | 411 views

    Kathleen Noris has written: “To believe is not a matter of the mind but a matter of the heart.” The eleven were no different that Thomas. Belief in His resurrection had to move from their “mind” to their “hearts.”

    In Jesus Holy Name April 14, 2024 Text: Luke 24:38-39 Easter III Redeemer “Doubt Cannot Hide the Resurrected Jesus” On this Sunday after Easter Jesus meets His disciples in the Upper room where they ...read more

     | 3,015 views

    How do we react to others - are we quick to judge on appearance, and can we learn to be hearers and doers of the word?

    In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen. It was a beautiful sunny Sunday morning, the congregation had just settled into their service and had begun to sing the first hymn, when their attention was disturbed by a young man who was aimlessly wandering down the aisle.

  • The Role Of Christian Women

    Contributed by Byron Sherman on Jun 20, 2012
    based on 8 ratings
     | 29,077 views

    Paul explained to Timothy the proper role of Christian women as essential to the function of the church. The Christian community must embrace the proper role of godly women. But how is it discovered? Responsibility for Christian women is found in her..

    THE ROLE Of CHRISTIAN WOMEN—1Timothy 2:9-15 This sermon was very well received. One woman commented that I was ‘ballsy’ for preaching this. She also stated that her mother(were she a church-goer) would not have stood for it. Attention: Movie/Broadway presentation—requires that each ...read more

  • Looking In God's Mirror

    Contributed by Bruce Hadley on Jul 27, 2021
     | 4,902 views

    James compares the Word of God to a mirror because you look into a mirror to be able to see yourself in effort to make changes to your appearance. Looking in the Holy Scriptures is like looking in a mirror. It reveals to us as God sees what’s in us.

    James 1:22-24 22 Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. 23 Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror 24 and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. ...read more

  • Mercy Instead Of Sacrifice

    Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Mar 11, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,930 views

    The Pharisees criticized Jesus for eating with tax collectors. They thought they were better than Matthew, as they went around acting holy. Outward show doesn’t determine a person’s relationship with God. It's about the heart.

    This morning I am going to touch on the subject of “hypocrisy.” It’s difficult to preach on this subject matter because none of us are without some form of hypocrisy in our life. Jesus told us not to point out the splinter in our brother’s eye until we have removed the log in our own eye (Matthew ...read more

    Christians can't settle for lives whitewashed on the outside--looking good. Our lives need to be inwardly transformed.

    Mark 7:1-8, 14-15, 21-23 “Whitewashed” INTRODUCTION Most of us spend a fair amount of time making ourselves look good on the outside. Here, in Arizona, we may not be into suits and ties for men, or business attire for women. We may not live the credo, “dress for ...read more
