    Mission Of Christmas

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 24, 2024
     | 517 views

    The story of Christmas shows how God's missionary heart sent Jesus to be our Savior. You can share that message of hope this Christmas with your congregation.

    Opening illustration: Play video of Office Christmas. Introduction: We know that the church is supposed to be about Christ's mission on earth - preaching the gospel, making disciples, baptizing and teaching them. But have you considered that it is God who is the true Missionary? The story of ...read more

    Winning The Battle For Your Mind

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on May 17, 2024
     | 2,035 views

    One of the most important things we need to learn and teach others is how to guard, strengthen, and renew our minds, because the battle for sin always starts in the mind.

    Opening illustration: A violent battle is raging around us twenty-four hours per day. In 1965, Donald Grey Barnhouse wrote a book about it called The Invisible War. It is the battle for your mind, and that battle is vicious. It is intense. It is unrelenting, and it is unfair because Satan never ...read more

    "Fear After Victory!"

    Contributed by Kevin Smith on Jun 19, 2004
    based on 24 ratings
     | 4,321 views

    Why do we as a people of God, even after he’s proven victorious in our lives time after time, still fear that he can’t do it?

    I. Introduction: In this particular text, what strikes me is that in the previous chapter, Elijah is just coming off of a victory over the Gods of Baal, where God provided for him and allowed victory, yet, even after that, here in chapter 19 verses 1-3, Elijah becomes fearful again because of ...read more

    God reveals Himself through people in many ways!

    Please open your Bibles to Exodus 34 as we continue to worship our Lord by listening to what He told Moses to write down for all people to learn from, including us today! Again, the Book of Exodus is about the Israelites of old learning from God as they lived their lives away from slavery in ...read more

Object: A small can of cat food with a pop-top lid, a package of brownie mix, water, an egg, nuts, a mixing bowl, etc. Scripture: For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking ...read more

    What Do We Do With The Weeds?"

    When the end comes, it will become clear who those people are whose faith is truly in Jesus, and it will become clear who those are who have been just playing a religious game.

    When I was a kid, weeding the garden was one of my least favorite activities. It was often hot out there and my back would hurt from bending over. Worst of all, I thought it was monotonous work, so often I did not pay real close attention to what I was doing. And, sure enough, I would sometimes ...read more

    The Lure Of Money Series

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Aug 13, 2001
    based on 26 ratings
     | 8,639 views

    The love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. How can we fight the temptation to misuse money?

    I discovered some fascinating statistics the other day. Did you know that out of 38 parables that Jesus told, 16 deal with money in some form or other? If you add up all the times that heaven and hell are mentioned, it comes to fewer times than money is mentioned. The New Testament says 5 times as ...read more

    June 3, 2012 Isaiah 6:1-8 In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord seated on a throne, high and exalted, and the train of his robe filled the temple. Above him were seraphs, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two ...read more

    "Difficult Times"

    The number of ’nay’ sayers, discouragers, destroyers in the church will increase. But true believers have the knowledge that leads to salvation.

    There may have been other letters from Paul to Timothy, and more than likely, some going the other way. It becomes very obvious in the reading of these two that we have, that Paul loved Timothy very dearly. Even calls him ‘son’. He mentions Timothy in Romans, in First and Second Corinthians, ...read more

    Being A Good Father

    Contributed by Vince Miller on May 7, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 31,666 views

    This sermon, designed for Father's Day, addresses two components I wish I would have known before I became a dad myself. Two simple principles that can be easily applied to a father of any age and includes material for men, women, and various life stages.

    There is no script or instruction manual, for being a good father. Most men are thrust into the task of fatherhood that will change how we view our earthly father, Heavenly Father, and even ourselves forever. It is an adventure that will challenge us, drain us, beat us up, lending us to a few ...read more

    Betrayal & Burlap Series

    Contributed by Josh Foster on Mar 12, 2014
     | 6,150 views

    In the wrinkles of this tragedy, God is present and working. He’s working to bring about His good and see His plans realized. It may not be a pretty picture at this point. But that just goes to show how broken our world is - and how persistent God is.

    God in the Ebb & Flow of Life: Betrayal and Burlap Scripture Text: Genesis 37.18-35 INTRODUCTION Last-week, I tried to lay the ground-work so that we would have a realistic picture of Joseph’s family-life. It isn’t pretty!... ...read more

    Message 9 in a series through James that helps us explore the relationship between faith and works in our lives. James was the half-brother of Jesus and the leader of the church in Jerusalem.

    Listen to this quote from P. J. Conlon in the Monthly Journal of International Association of Machinists, dated January 1899: “…I say if [the public] would only stop to consider this before forming an opinion perhaps the wage-earners might win; but no, they believe everything they see in the ...read more
