How Shall We Attain Lasting Peace?

Contributed by Daniel Habben on Dec 4, 2007

How Shall We Attain Lasting Peace? 1) By streaming to the Lord’s mountain 2) By walking in the Lord’s light

A bronze statue with the inscription: “Let us beat our swords into ploughshares” stands in the North Garden of the United Nations (UN) headquarters. The words, a slight paraphrase of Isaiah 2:4, express the sculpture’s hope that the UN would help the nations of this world find lasting peace. Is it ...read more

The High Point?

Contributed by Carl Benge on Mar 26, 2007

Jesus’ Entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday.

Before we begin this morning I would like to share a little story with you. A pastor was preaching in an unfamiliar church one Sunday morning. As he stood in the pulpit to begin the service, he tapped the microphone to make sure that it was on. He heard nothing, even though it was working fine. So ...read more

Contributed by Tim Patrick on Sep 22, 2005

This sermon is the second in a two part series which answers six common questions about tithing.

Last Sunday I began a two part series entitled "Questions about Tithing." Today, as we conclude this study I want to ask and then answer the last three (of six) questions about tithing. With that in mind lets look at three verses of scripture from Malachi 3. "Will a man rob God? Yet you have ...read more

Contributed by Don Schultz on Oct 22, 2006

Building dedication sermon.

Psalm 84: “HOW LOVELY IS YOUR DWELLING PLACE!” The last time I was here in LaPorte, this place where I am standing right now was just a muddy spot on the ground. There was an open field here, and the place where you’re sitting right now – can you picture it? Just mud, dirt, some grass. It ...read more

The Question Is Not: "is God Relevant?"

Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Dec 5, 2013

He who has the last laugh determines relevancy. This is Christ the King.

The Question is Not: “Is God Relevant?” Matthew 25:31-46 Introduction Often what is put last is of the highest importance. For example, Luke ends Jesus’ public teaching at the Temple with the story of the widow’s mite, noting that she gave more than the rich who gave much in that she gave her ...read more

Signs Of The End Of The Age, Part 1 Series

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Sep 25, 2014

Jesus states clearly for us everything that we need to know about the end times for one reason: "So be on your guard; I have told you everything ahead of time" (Mk 13:23). Honestly, what MORE could we need to know or to prepare for than what Jesus says?

Signs of the End of the Age, Part 1 Mark 13:1-23 - Jesus is demonstrated in this book as a “servant” - Jesus’ teachings, while difficult for some to deal with, are always timely -- God always allows us to hear from Him at just the right time - Today we begin to look at ...read more

Revive Thy Work, O Lord

Contributed by Jerry Flury on Sep 12, 2010

Like Israel many congregations within the Body of Christ have failed to live in obedience and like Israel have had to undergo the effects of their failure and are in desperate need of revival.

Revive Thy Work O Lord Ezra 9:4-14 Introduction: Israel had been called to be a light to the world for God. Through continued disobedience the nation brought God’s judgment upon itself. Today the church has been given that task as God’s instrument to reflect His truth. ...read more

Life's Dangerous Journey Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Oct 21, 2013

Living a life dedicated to God can be a dangerous undertaking. There are physical, emotional and even spiritual battles that threaten to take us away from trusting God and being used by Him. These psalms offer hope in that journey.

Psalm 120 begins what are called the “songs of ascent.” The Jews sang these 15 songs as they made their way “up” or “ascending” to Jerusalem for one of the feasts. You can just picture groups joining up and singing together on the road. So much better than many ...read more

The Man Of Lawlessness Series

Contributed by Derek Geldart on May 19, 2024

From the days of the Apostle Paul, believers have looked to the heavens, hoping to witness His coming in their lifetime. Many signs suggest that His return is near, yet Scripture tells us that it will not happen until the Man of Lawlessness is revealed.

The Man of Lawlessness 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12 Online Sermon: http://www.mckeesfamily.com/?page_id=3567 Ever since the Lord ascended into heaven, believers have been patiently awaiting His return.

The Cinderella Church

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Sep 25, 2023

Let’s ask God to help us dream big and believe in the future he has for us.

"Who is here among you that remembers this house in its former glory?“ Most of you, right? Do you remember how things were, a couple of months into the rebuilding process, when the debris had been cleared away but the rebuilding hadn’t really begun yet. The shock of the fire and the ...read more

The Cost Of Preaching Jesus Series

Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Jun 22, 2022

Russian born, author Ariel Durant wrote: “There is no significant example in history, before our time, of a society successfully maintaining moral life without the aid of religion.” “The greatest question of our time is . . . whether men can live without God.”

The Need To Be Filled With The Holy Spirit

Contributed by Mike Hullah on Mar 11, 2018

The Holy Spirit isn't just an "add on" to our lives, He is a necessity. He transforms believers to "Christians" - little anointed ones! Just as we spend time occupied in relationships with others, work, or tasks, we need even more to be "occupied" by Him.

The Need To Be Filled With The Holy Spirit Acts 2:1-4 When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.3 Then there appeared to them ...read more

On The Way To Jerusalem

Contributed by Martin Ellgar on May 10, 2015

A perspective on Luke 19: On the road to Jerusalem, Jesus stopped to give life to others according to their needs. Jesus teaches that we all need to stop from time to time and give life to someone in need. In this way we live in his kingdom.

On The Way To Jerusalem Introduction “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord” (v.38), so shouted the expectant crowd that surrounded Jesus as he made his way to Jerusalem. The subject of that verse clearly expresses a major theme of chapter 19. The Gospel writer, Luke ...read more

A Sick Church, A Lame Man, And Two Broke Preachers

Contributed by Michael Stark on Jul 10, 2020

The churches of this day confront broken humanity. Whether we attempt to touch those who are broken through our wealth or with the power of Christ depends upon how we see ourselves as servants of the Lord.

“Peter and John were going up to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour. And a man lame from birth was being carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple that is called the Beautiful Gate to ask alms of those entering the temple. Seeing Peter and John about to go into the ...read more

The End Is Near - Don't Be Alarmed

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Nov 3, 2002

We hear about violence and famine, war and crime every day on the news. Jesus said this was the beginning of the end for this world - but He also says something else to us - "Don’t be alarmed." How do we keep a peaceful heart in times of great storm?

There’s an attitude that exists, certainly among scientists, the educational elite – and surprisingly even among Christian professors – that the Bible is not historically accurate. "It is an account that was crafted by men who had a point to make, so the details don’t necessarily match up with what ...read more
