    "Thinking Like Jesus Does”

    Contributed by David Yarbrough on Mar 24, 2003
    based on 90 ratings
     | 4,809 views

    If Jesus had a passion for "sinners" why do they feel so unwelcome in our churches today?

    Illus.: Four Preachers Confess Four preachers met for a friendly gathering. During the conversation one preacher said, “Our people come to us and pour out their hears, confess certain sins and needs. Let’s do the same. Confession is good for the soul.” In due time all agree. One of them said that ...read more

    April 28, 2002 -- 4th in a series on the Gospel of John. This sermon uses a word that might offend some -- some people even think of it as a "dirty word." Many think no Presbyterian would ever use this word, but statistics show Presbyterians do this as m

     | 25,916 views

    This sermon teaches us the importance of allowing our faith to be stretched.

    Have you done anything in your faith walk recently that stretched you? We use the term “stretch” to refer to growth, development and learning. I must admit, it goes against human nature to be stretched. There is a popular story that illustrates our reluctance to be stretched. Ill- A man was ...read more

    Fervent Foot Faith

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Oct 14, 2009
     | 3,762 views

    We must put feet on our faith. Evangelism is credible if we make certain our lives are clean, if we expose what we believe to others, and if we go confidently into the world with our faith.

    Feet are ugly. That’s what someone suggested to me the (other day. Feet are ugly. I can’ t remember why that subject came up, but she insisted that feet are bony, unkempt, twisted, weird, and much the worse for wear after forty or fifty years of use. She said, if I recall correctly, that God must ...read more

    The High Cost Of Discipleship Series

    In this message we look at 5 snapshots/pictures of the church. These snapshots help the listener see the NT church as it is intended to be.

    “The High Cost of Discipleship” Luke 14:25-35 I think that one of the most deceptive things we see in our world today are ads that tell us one thing but when we look closer there is a lot they are not telling us. Ads for cars are notorious for this. You’ve seen them. They advertise a car at one ...read more

    Living in community is a way for encouraging others in their faith.

    Monkey See, Monkey Do This morning our scripture is a description of a concept. To be a bit more specific the idea that I hope we focus on is called community. That is a word that we may all know a definition for. We talk about our church community, and the silver creek community all ...read more

     | 5,601 views

    Jesus was clear that our walk should be marked by signs and wonders. What is following you? Is your life “signless”?

    Signs Pt. 2 I. Introduction I have a sign situation. My situation is not that Jesus did signs! My issue is that Jesus, in John 14:11-14 and Mark 16:14-20, made it crystal clear that we would not only have signs following us, but even greater signs than He performed. My sign issue is that I see ...read more

    "Tell Somebody"

    The purpose of this sermon is to motivate the hearers to “tell somebody” that there is a price tag to consider before committing oneself to following Jesus Christ. Because it could mean becoming a geographical nomad.

    U.S. Army Chaplain (MAJ) Ken Harris, Jr. West Fort Hood Chapel Second Sunday of June Killeen, TX 27 June 2010 Big Idea: For some believers to follow Jesus means more than just believing in Him. It also means becoming a geographical nomad. Scriptural References: EAI (Expository; ...read more

    The Problem With Doing What Feels Right

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Mar 14, 2011
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,809 views

    This sermon looks at the difference between doing what feels right and what is right.

    Listen To Your Heart: In determining what to do, for many the key question is “what do you feel like you should do?” - We are encouraged to “follow our heart” by listening to our emotions and doing what they’re telling us to do. - This presumes that whatever our ...read more

    Getting Rid Of The Problem Of Evangelism

    based on 15 ratings
     | 4,149 views

    Forget about EVANGELISM -- we aren’t doing it anyway. Just think about inviting people to something joyful.

    I have been in the ministry for 26 years now, and I have preached a lot of sermons on Evangelism. What a waste of time. We don’t like to think about evangelism. We don’t like to do evangelism. We always want someone else to handle the evangelism programs in our churches. I’m not sure why ...read more
