Leave It All On The Field Series

Contributed by Sherm Nichols on Mar 26, 2016

The focus of worship is God and what He wants. This sermon drives that point home to end this series.

I hope this series on worship has been helpful over the past month. At least it may have helped put you in the mood for football season! I’ve been pretty upfront about the goal here – to get us out of the armchair, and onto the field – not on Thanksgiving afternoon, necessarily, ...read more

The Gardener’s Field Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 24, 2022

In the church, there will be unbelievers mixed in with God's people; however, Jesus warns us that it is not our place to judge. He also asks us to consider whether or not we are wheat or a tare; a believer or an unbeliever.

This evening’s message is entitled “The Gardener’s Field,” and it’s taken from what is commonly called “The Parable of the Wheat and the Tares.” In Genesis 2:8-9, we read, “The Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there He put the man whom He had formed. And out of the ground the Lord ...read more

Thanksgiving - The Fields Are Ripe

Contributed by Derek Geldart on Oct 11, 2020

We need to go beyond being thankful for the blessings we have received this thanksgiving and share with the lost of this world what it is like to be a child of God who has every spiritual blessing in Jesus! The fields are truly ripe!

"God's Work Of Art"

Contributed by Ken Sauer on Sep 5, 2013

To be an effective Church we must be pliable clay in God's hand.

"God's Work of Art" Jeremiah 18:1-11 I have entitled this sermon, "God's Work of Art," but I am unsure as to whether this is an appropriate title or not. Let's see where we go from here, and perhaps you can let me know if I gave this sermon a proper name. Nowadays, pottery-making is an art ...read more

Mold Me And Make Me

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 11, 2022

This message looks at Jeremiah's imagery of God as the Potter. If we fail to submit to the Potter and remain in His hands, then the Lord will stop shaping us and let us alone. But when He lets us alone, we are in a very fragile state!

There is a well-known hymn entitled, “Have Thine Own Way.” The first line of this hymn says, “Have Thine own way, Lord! . . . Thou art the potter, I am the clay! Mold me and make me after Thy will, while I am waiting, yielded and still.”(1) When Adelaide Pollard wrote the words to this hymn she ...read more

The Harry Potter Compromise

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Dec 4, 2001

Spiritual Pornography

I do not, I cannot compromise on the issue of Harry Potter. And I am genuinely stunned at the extent to which most Christians do. I know many godly, wonderful Christians who are Christ-like in nearly every way in their lives - but mention Harry Potter, and you can see the stronghold. And it is a ...read more

Fetching For The Potter, Not The Clay

Contributed by Bradford Robinson on Sep 15, 2004

The Youth minister loved this dog so much that when the dog had been sick and had to be in the vet kennel overnight, he stayed ...read more
