    based on 15 ratings
     | 5,987 views

    Some people think it,s better to just sleep through life. The whole world changes when we do, so GOD says, "WAKE UP!"

    “Walking Up the Sleepyheads” Text: Romans, Chapter 13 I love to sleep! What I mean is I LOVE to sleep! But sometimes, I sleep too much—or I’m asleep at the wrong times, when I should be accomplishing something. Sleep is a natural function of our bodies and we all need a certain amount of ...read more

    "Should We Really Be Afraid Of Death?”

    Contributed by Paul Weidner on May 26, 2004
    based on 4 ratings
     | 2,575 views

    If we take the time to realistically examine our culture, especially our western culture, we will readily see that death is not something we think about very much.

    For Christians, the season of Lent is the time of our church year like no other because our focus is drawn on a very unpopular topic, death. We are taken on a journey covering the last weeks of Jesus’ ministry, which ends with his horrible torture and death by crucifixion. But because we ...read more

    We think of God’s grace as the forgiveness of our sins, but it is far more than that. David experienced the full gamut of the grace of God in response to his sin.

    Passage: 2 Samuel 12:1-14 Intro: When we think of the word “grace”, the vast majority of believers focus on the forgiveness of our sins. Il) “Wonderful grace of Jesus, greater than all my sins.” “Marvelous grace of our loving Lord, grace that exceeds our sin and our guilt.” Etc. 1. great ...read more

    When I was growing up we lived on a two-acre plot of land. We mowed about an acre of it with a push mower and the back acre we grew for hay harvesting.

    Too often in the western world, we minimalize connections thinking that teaching principles is enough but 90% of the people who come to church do so on the basis of their friendly connections.

    Enjoy the Synergistic Blessings of Being United in Spirit (Phil. 2:1,2) "Make my joy complete by being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in Spirit, intent on one purpose."

     | 26,516 views

    When we think of God’s work in the lives of other believers, we should be moved to thankfulness for the faith, hope, and love that we see demonstrated in Christ followers.

    Taking Time to Give Thanks Several weeks ago, when we were organizing our file cabinet, I came across some love letters from Beth that I’ve kept ever since we were dating. When I found this folder, I immediately stopped working, sat down in the middle of the floor, and started browsing through ...read more

    based on 15 ratings
     | 7,272 views

    Christmas is a paradox. The Christmas story is filled with the unexpected—the unimaginable. And yet the Christ Child was born amidst these paradoxes; let’s for a few moments think the paradox of Christmas.

    CHRISTMAS PARADOX "The Nativity" “As helpless as He was He deserved more privacy. Yet they gathered and stared, not completely understanding what they saw—just that they had to see. . . “Mary was tired and sore and a little sick.

    16% of Americans think of God as being critical and uncaring. Another 25% believe Him to be distant and unwilling to intercede in human affairs. But how does this contrast with the message of Isaiah?

    In November of 1988 a 19 yr old woman fell asleep behind the wheel of her car at about 2:15 in the morning. Her car plunged thru a guardrail and was dangling by its left rear tire. A half dozen passing motorists stopped, grabbed some ropes from one of their vehicles tied the ropes to the back ...read more

    I used to think the phrase, Kingdom of God, meant only some future time, but I have come to understand that it means the Christian experience under the Lordship of Christ.

    I wonder what you think of when you read or hear the phrase, “Kingdom Of God?” Perhaps you think of some future time, when there will be perfect peace and no problems, when the ferocious beasts of the forest can be led around by little children. That’s what I used to think it meant, but I have ...read more
