     | 3,125 views

    This sermon is a challenge to our ideas of what constitutes real worship. Do we give adequate time to worship?

    In the name of the LORD I welcome you to this morning’s service at Kistler’s Chapel. Are you glad to be here today? Most of the time I am grateful to be in worship service on Sunday morning. If by chance I have to miss a Sunday, my week feels unfulfilled; as if I have forgotten something vital ...read more

    Our Lord’s coming gives us a real reason to smile; the joy he brings lasts forever.

    Christmas is almost here! Only two more weeks and the whole ordeal will be over for another year! I actually heard someone say that on the radio the other day. Sadly, he’s right. For a lot of people Christmas isn’t a time of happiness, but a time of frustration; it’s not a time for joy, but ...read more

  • To Have It All You Must Love All

    Contributed by Tim May on Mar 15, 2015
     | 5,310 views

    It is easy to love church family members in blue sky moments, but real love is demonstrated in the grey sky days.

    This morning I want to focus on Jesus’ command: “Love each other as I have loved you." Please note it is a command and not a suggestion. You of course know that I as a military person understand the difference between a command and a suggestion. At first glance this command looks easy ...read more

     | 5,665 views

    Written as a Father’s Day message and challenge to sink our roots deep into God to find real happiness.

    Many are familiar with the “beattitudes” in Jesus’ sermon on the mount. They include: • “Blessed (or happy) are the poor in spirit – those who realize their need for God – for the Kingdom of Heaven is given to them.” • “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.” • “Blessed are ...read more

    Has Christmas got completely lost in all the commercial noise around it as a festival? Is there still a real meaning to Christmas?

    Christ of the Advent Main Passage 2 Tim 3: 1-7 It is advent season again. It is time to sing carols, eat Christmas cakes, wear new cloths, decorate homes, put up the stars, and wish people Merry Christmas. It is that time when we are supposed to rejoice in the good news of great joy that was ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,220 views

    Jesus reveals the four essential plays He is going to use as He competes in the real super bowl of life.

    By tonight, the endless hoopla, the frenzied advertising and, almost incidentally, the football game itself will be over. Super Bowl Sunday will have come and gone for another year. One more observation: The Super Bowl wouldn't be a true sporting event without an endless string of both pre-game ...read more

    based on 6 ratings

    It is out of our personal relationship with God that we come to know with assurance certain things in the Christian life. These closing assurances are intended to be great encouragements to us.

    1 JOHN 5: 18-21 [LIFE, LIGHT & LOVE SERIES] THE KEEPING POWER OF GOD John here reaches the end of what he wants to write. He has clearly shown the differences between the true believer and the false, and now he concludes by reiterating his purpose, which is to assure his readers who ...read more

    based on 15 ratings
     | 8,036 views

    We boast about many things ... should we not verbally confess the goodness of God and boast in who He is and what He has done for us.

    Thanksgiving is almost here- I have declared today to be a day of BOASTING! I am giving us all permission to boast today. It is easy for people to boast- almost second nature. We easily boast about things that have happened in our lives or things we have done/accomplished. As people we like to be ...read more

  • Year End Inventory

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 26, 2024
     | 6,211 views

    Jesus tells us that when we seek first the Kingdom of God, the other things we are concerned about will take care of themselves. Paul doesn't want us to merely call ourselves Christians or think of ourselves as Christians. He wants to know Christ and wants us to be real followers of Jesus too.

    Opening illustration: Business owners are busy at the end of the year taking inventory. This is a painful but necessary reality so they can know if they made a profit or not. They take the information they receive and make adjustments for the coming year. As Christians, we need to stop at the end ...read more

    Title: Glorify His Name Scripture: John 13:31-35 Introduction: We said at the beginning, and throughout our study of the Gospel according to the Apostle John, that Jesus was on a time line.

     | 9,908 views

    Four imperatives for Christian living.

    LIVING THE LIFE OF CHRIST. Colossians 3:1-11. The doctrinal basis for the imperatives of this section is found in the fact that the ‘saints and faithful brethren’ (Colossians 1:2) have been “raised” with Christ. This connects with the symbols of baptism and new life in the previous chapter ...read more
