     | 9,774 views

    Words uttered at the end of a man's life take on extra significance. What did our Lord say in His final moments? And what do they speak to us today?

    Luke 23:26-34 NIV 26 As they led him away, they seized Simon from Cyrene, who was on his way in from the country, and put the cross on him and made him carry it behind Jesus. 27 A large number of people followed him, including women who mourned and wailed for him. 28 Jesus turned and said to ...read more

    Another "Jesus Saves Us From Our Storms" Sermon

    Contributed by Jon Lipka on Aug 17, 2014
     | 5,194 views

    The message of Jesus' salvation and care for us in the midst of our storms is always relevant and new. Every day, new storms threaten to overtake us, if it weren't for the might of Jesus and His careful watch over us.

    Today’s Gospel is very familiar to us all. We all love to hear of Jesus walking on the water, and Peter’s feeble attempt to walk to Jesus, from which Jesus saved him. And if you’re like me, you’re probably thinking that you know exactly what today’s sermon will be ...read more

    God Created Us To Love

    Contributed by Greg Nance on Jan 23, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,364 views

    God’s love is the ultimate reality and truth. Nothing compares with God’s love. Nothing can separate us from God’s love. But we must accept God’s love.

    Consider this: 1. God created you to love you and God wants you to spend eternity with Him. 2. God has an enemy who hates you and wants you to spend eternity in Hell away from God. 3. The nature of God’s love demands that we have the power to choose whether we accept or reject the love of God. ...read more

    Jael's Extraordianry Day

    based on 5 ratings
     | 17,441 views

    Sometimes the ordinary seems mundane, but occasionally it turns exraordinary. This is a narrative of an ordinary day turning into much more. Even a "nobody" can do something extraordinary in the hands of God.

    Jael’s Extraordinary Day Judges 4:17-24 Jael’s life was nothing if not predictable. Living in the low mountains of Eastern Israel, bordering Canaan, among the scorpions and rocks and dust, Jael’s life was difficult at best, and monotonous at worst. Boredom and monotony were her ...read more

    There is an abiding love to comfort us as the righteous fight the good fight, on the battlefield of faith.

    I Glory In God

     | 10,601 views

    Many people boast about their wisdom, might, or riches, but Jeremiah shares in this message the only true reason to glory. If you want to glory in anything, glory in God and proclaim His power throughout the world.

    Jeremiah 9:23-24 Intro: Jeremiah was a young priest denouncing the practice of worshiping images. Jeremiah gave reason to worship the true God, His creative power and providential care. Although Jeremiah's message was strong and his faith deep in God, the people would reject his ...read more

    Bread Clearly Broken

    Contributed by Jon Lipka on May 6, 2012
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,914 views

    Not through intellectual assent, wisdom, and knowledge, but through the act of love, the breaking of bread, do we recognize Jesus Christ and know him as our Risen Lord and Savior.

    Hearing the message of the Gospel is not enough. Understanding, intellectual assent is not adequate. Peter’s proclamation of the Gospel at Pentecost did not result in the people exclaiming, “We agree with your reasoning,” or, “That makes sense to us.” Rather, ...read more

    Restoring Our First Passion

    Contributed by Perry Greene on Oct 11, 2012
     | 6,108 views

    Is "church" just a club? Do we attend a congregation just to be entertained or is there a deeper reason? Learning to OBEY God is essential to our lives. It is part of our passion for the One who is passionate about us!
