    Aim To Be An Amos, Not An Amaziah

    Contributed by Daniel Habben on Jul 27, 2009
    based on 6 ratings
     | 13,136 views

    This world is filled with Amaziahs. They’re people (including ourselves) who think they can have spirituality without the light of God’s Word.

    If you could be any person from the Bible, who would it be? Would you like to be Adam or Eve barefooting around the Garden of Eden with no fear of stepping on a rusty nail or a thorn? Wouldn’t it be an experience to play with a full-grown lion the way you would a kitten? Both would have been ...read more

    My Bff @ Midnight Series

    Contributed by Mark Eberly on Aug 3, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,036 views

    This parable is clearly about prayer but exactly what is Jesus teaching us about prayer. Because of interpretative translations, it may not be what you think.

    The Parables of Jesus My BFF @ Midnight Luke 11:1-13 August 2, 2009 This parable is clearly a parable about prayer. Luke has positioned it after Jesus teaches “The Lord’s Prayer,” and has included the saying about prayer that uses the “ask, seek, and knock,” which Matthew has as part of the Sermon ...read more

    Genesis 11 – Part 5 – So, Is God A Chauvinist? Series

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Feb 16, 2010
    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,790 views

    In Genesis 11 we have the family tree of Shem, but only 3 women are mentioned by name - very Chauvinistic to our modern way of thinking!

    Genesis 11 - Part 5 - SO, IS GOD A CHAUVINIST? Being an only son not only meant growing up in a house full of women, but also it meant that I was the last of the Cochrane's in my family line. I carried on the name of Cochrane when I had a son. My son's wife is about to have a son. This means that ...read more

    Mothers Day 2009

    Contributed by Mark Aarssen on May 30, 2009
     | 6,121 views

    How many mothers here would gladly trade their concern for a child that they think is lost for an acknowledgment from that child that they have found God in their lives?

    Mothers Day 2009 Luke 1:41-52 When my daughter was a little girl she used to want me to read to her at every opportunity. One of her favorite little books was called - Are you My Mother? It was written by P.D. Eastman and published in 1960 by Random House. Some of you may own a copy of this ...read more

    I'm The Greatest!

    based on 7 ratings
     | 8,664 views

    We think that we can find greatness in accumulating wealth, friends, accomplishments and the like. However, Jesus tells us that true greatness is found

    -What does it mean to be great? -It’s an age old question -Everyone ultimately is on a quest for greatest -People search for this elusive gem in many different places or pursuits -People look for greatness is wealth, power, prestige, fame, accomplishments, friends -However, those will all fail ...read more

    Have A Nice Trip? Being Stumbling Blocks

    Contributed by Pat Cook on Aug 31, 2004
    based on 23 ratings
     | 3,290 views

    I looked topically at what being a stumbling-block is, and the implications. Didn’t answer a lot of questions, but it makes a listener think anyway.

    Have a Nice Trip? Being Stumbling Blocks Example: 2 youth ministers giving out Bibles at a porn retailers convention Example: my buying booze or fishing on Sunday What is a stumbling block? LEV 19:14 - " `Do not curse the deaf or put a stumbling block in front of the blind, but fear your God. I ...read more

    So, What Have You Done For Me Lately?

    Contributed by Thomas Bowen on Dec 2, 2004
    based on 16 ratings
     | 6,197 views

    Do we get used to the things that God does for us? I think so. It is easy just to expect everything as if we earnd it somehow.

    So, what have you done for me lately? John 6:25-6:35 The story is told of two old friends bumped into one another on the street one day. One of them looked forlorn, almost on the verge of tears. His friend asked, "What has the world done to you, my old friend?" The sad fellow said, "Let me tell ...read more

    Grace And Peace Multiplied

    Contributed by Don Baggett on Dec 6, 2007
     | 7,468 views

    Is there something we can do to receive multiplied grace and peace? We tend to think that couldn’t be true of grace, but the Bible says it is true.

    The Bible writers very often begin their letters by wishing their readers grace and peace. Peter makes no exception in this letter, but he takes it a step further and, in our text, talks about how this will come about. We tend to think that there is nothing we can do to bring God’s grace on ...read more

    Contributed by Jonathan Twitchell on Dec 7, 2006
    based on 39 ratings
     | 14,164 views

    Like Jacob, we are often tempted to think that we know better than God, and to trade His promises in for a simple bowl of red stew.

    Texts: Genesis 25:19-34; Romans 8:1-11 Date: Sunday, July 14, 2002 Author: Rev. Jonathan K. Twitchell As we approach our scripture text in Genesis 25 this morning, we find that the promise given to Abraham is once again in jeopardy. Isaac has grown and married, but Abraham has passed on ...read more

    Homosexual Marriage Series

    Contributed by Rick Thiessen on Jul 25, 2005
    based on 10 ratings
     | 4,772 views

    Starting with a Biblical definition of sexuality this message argues for how Christians ought to think about homosexuality in general and the current push to legalize homosexual marriage.

    SE101704 STOP THE WORLD 3. Gay Marriage There was a sexual revolution after the 1960’s and these days, we’re in the midst of another. Time Magazine has called it the “Homosexual Revolution.” They say this revolution is changing the way we see our most basic institutions: church, schools, ...read more

    New Wine For New Wineskins

    Contributed by Brian La Croix on Nov 4, 2005
    based on 47 ratings
     | 19,748 views

    My attempt to deal with the issue of the "newness" of Jesus compared to the "oldness" of the Law. If you think I missed it, let me know (really!).

    New Wine for New Wineskins Matthew 9:14-17 October 30, 2005 Introduction If there’s one thing that is inescapable when examining the life of Jesus, it’s that he was constantly challenging the status quo of the religious mindset of his day. He was pretty much fed up with it. He regularly had to ...read more

    First Things

    based on 21 ratings
     | 5,037 views

    At the first of the year it seems good to think of the “first things” God wants us to do. Following are most of the NT scriptures with the word “first” in them.

    FIRST THINGS Matthew 6:31-34 and other Scriptures Intro One week a Sunday school teacher had just finished telling her class the Christmas story, how Mary and Joseph went to Bethlehem and how Jesus was born there. So the teacher asked, "Who do you think the most important woman in the Bible ...read more

    The American Holocaust

    Contributed by Richard White on Feb 6, 2004
    based on 79 ratings
     | 5,415 views

    Israel had done what God would not even think about. They sacrificed their children to the gods of Chemosh and Molech. Are we as Americans allowing the same.

    The American Holocaust 1KI 11:1 King Solomon, however, loved many foreign women besides Pharaoh’s daughter--Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians and Hittites. 2 They were from nations about which the LORD had told the Israelites, "You must not intermarry with them, because they will surely ...read more

    Who Leads The Church? (Christ Leads The Church)

    Contributed by Spencer Homan on Dec 15, 2008
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,937 views

    Sometimes, we get too tied up with thinking that the Pastor is our leader and our guide. The truth is, Christ is the true leader of the church!

    1 Corinthians 1:10-18 (p 1772) I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be perfectly united in mind and thought.

    Do we hear the message of Christ Jesus and willingly follow? Or do we think his words are only like the thunder the people heard?

    John 12: 20 – 33 / Is That Thunder I Hear? Intro: There was a family from Boston who left the crowded city for Montana. They bought a ranch to raise cattle.
