    Why do Choosy Christians Choose Sam? There is a strange phenomenon among choosy Christians. They choose Sam. (I am using Sam as a fictitious name for an author or speaker who is human and not Jesus Christ.) In other words, Christians prefer to read, learn, quote, talk about, listen to, follow, ...read more

    Have you ever thought what it might have been like for the disciples to experience the death of the One they gave up everything to follow? Try to visualize one of those disciples coming to meet with us here on Resurrection Day.

    Introduction Read Luke 24:1-9 Easter! What a glorious day for Christians. It means everything to us. In fact we worship on the first day of the week, Sunday, every week because Jesus came out of the tomb on that day. I hope none of us takes for granted what Christ’s resurrection means.

  • The Waiting Room Series

    Contributed by Sean Harder on Nov 30, 2012
     | 5,491 views

    This final chapter of 2 Peter is probably where the idea of meeting Peter at the pearly gates comes from. And while that is cute, the one who will really be interviewing us is Jesus himself. I thought the interview with a typical Christian in the waiting

    Have you ever thought of what difference a word of compassion, encouragement, or affirmation can make in someone else's life? This sermon calls us to recognize others' needs and to show our love for them in the appropriate love language.

  • David, The Soldier Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Nov 11, 2020
     | 1,885 views

    Israel faced an enemy and thought they couldn't possibly defeat them. Goliath was a secret weapon, nearly ten feet tall and full of hatred for Israel. Then came a shepherd boy named David--and the rest is history.

    Introduction: David had learned some of the arts of defense by tending his flock of sheep. Lions, bears, and perhaps other predators were always looking for sheep so it was up to the shepherd to protect them. After Samuel had anointed him (to be the future king), David had served Saul in a number ...read more

  • Being Independent Together

    Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Jul 1, 2021
     | 6,388 views

    Being independent of this world while being dependent upon God is a Christian's life's goal? This idea is similar to the thoughts which led to the thirteen U.S. colonies declaring their independence from Britain.

    Being Independent Together Scripture: John 8:36; Exodus 1:11a; 3:7-8; Romans 12:2 “If the Son therefore shall make you free, you shall be free indeed.” (John 8:36) Today, in the United States, we are celebrating the Fourth of July holiday.

    Franz Liszt, the great musician, was also quite a diplomat. Being famous in the field of music led to his being constantly put on the spot by women who expected unmerited praise for their singing.

    Jean Paul Sartre in No Exit has three characters in the play who are one by one ushered into hell. To their surprise it is not a place of punishment.

    based on 1 rating
     | 1,608 views

    These are thoughts on Genesis Chapter Twenty-Six. In his work, "What does every Bible chapter say..." John Hunt gives an overview of each chapter of the Bible. It is my intention to do the same thing here.

    GENESIS CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX OVERVIEW Overall what is happening in this chapter is that there is a famine in the land and God instructs Isaac not to go to Egypt: Isaac goes to Gerar instead and starts digging wells. Thomas Coke (1801) – Genesis 26 Isaac, by God's command, sojourns in Gerar. ...read more
