    This sermon deals with our being grateful even when life's circumstances stink. The text that is used is from the story of the Pharisee and the Prostitute.

    Being Grateful When Life Happens Luke 7:36-50 Seeing that Thanksgiving is right around the corner; it might be nice to speak upon our need to be grateful to God. And so the point I want to get across is … The depth of our gratitude reveals just how much we understand our need for a Savior. ...read more

    The very first thing that I noticed about our text is the doubling of Simon’s name in Jesus’ statement, “Simon, Simon”.

    The doubling of words almost sounds like people when they stutter. Often people who stutter repeat their words. I love to hear people who stutter. I do not mean that in a derogatory way, I REALLY ENJOY HEARING PEOPLE TALK WHO STUTTER. Illus: A really huge muscular guy with a bad stutter goes ...read more

    No one seems to be excited about the topic of Hell. Even God's not keen on it. But it's crucial to our message of hope for the lost. What is it about Hell we need to know and that we need to tell others?

    Does anyone know what the worst fire in American History was? Most people would say it was the great Chicago Fire in 1871. That fire started on Sunday, October 8 and ended on Tuesday, October 10, 1871, killing up to 300 people and destroyed a little over 3 square miles of Chicago, leaving over ...read more

    As Jesus went to Jerusalem for the Feast of Tabernacles, whispers spread throughout the crowd. Although unsure He was even present, Jesus became the topic of discussion. Many wondered about this man who He truly was. We too must decide who Jesus is.

    Who is this Man? John 7: 1-13 Our text deals with events that happened during the Feast of Tabernacles. This was a time of celebration and thanksgiving. Along with Passover and Pentecost, the Feast of Tabernacles was one of three pilgrimages the Jews took to Jerusalem each year. While the Feast ...read more

    Often we have misconceptions in what the Bible says concerning various topics. We will sometimes plug our own ideas, thoughts or solution to our everyday situations and really mess things up. We have to align our lives with the Word of God.

    Contributed by Ken Alford on Nov 23, 2001

     | 10,016 views

    This is a topical message. The Bible contains many examples of both the “hero to zero” and the “zero to hero” scenarios. The latter always contains a humble person trusting God and continuing on. Here are Eight Reasons why Christians should not quit.

    ‘Faith’ is a misunderstood subject, which has led to a disappointment amongst many who claim to belong to the Lord, because of unanswered prayer. Let’s take a fresh look at this topic, and see what the scriptures have to say to us.

    If prayer is supposed to be the most important part of the Christian life, why does it seem to be the most confusing topic? It’s the one thing that we know we have to do yet we seem the most unwilling to do.
