    Time Heals All Wounds And Other Lies We Beleive About Conflict Series

    Contributed by Paul Barreca on Sep 2, 2012

     | 7,865 views

    This sermon focuses on the broken relationship of Jacob and Esau. We will learn that broken relationships must be healed through confession and forgiveness in a way that honors both TRUTH in judgement and GRACE in forgiveness.

    We’ve been told that Time heals all wounds. Our unwillingness to confront sin, or talk about broken relationships confirms that at least some of the time, we follow this advice. But as we know, time does not heal all wounds. Come with me to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem. Roman ...read more

    As we think about Jesus being The Vine, this sermon challenges us to think about our relationship with Christ and how we move into closer relationship through our lives.

    In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen. One thing that I am not is green-fingered, I know how to mow a lawn, and how to pull up weeds, although if I’m being honest they are more likely to be flowers, and I know that roses should be pruned. I don’t know why this is the case, I just ...read more

     | 998 views

    Our relationship to God is the most important of all relationships, and if we are not at peace with Him, we will never have peace in our hearts or be at peace with others. Good News, peace on earth!

    Sermon – Advent Continues: Peace on Earth and Goodwill Towards Men Scripture Text: Luke 2:8-14 “That night there were shepherds staying in the fields nearby, guarding their flocks of sheep. Suddenly, an angel of the Lord appeared among them, and the radiance of the Lord’s glory surrounded them. ...read more

    Psalm 32 - Acknowledging Our Sin Is To Be Our Regular Practice

    Contributed by Neil Olcott on Jul 29, 2023
     | 1,754 views

    Have you ever felt that your relationship with God has been, not just stagnant, but wooden and hollow, with no life, no relationship, no joy, no vibrancy or flourishing? Like it is forced and faked and empty?

    This morning we are looking at Psalm 32 and we find that it is written by King David. It’s a psalm paired with Psalm 51. They’re bound together. “Have mercy on me, O God, according to Your steadfast love.” And they’re bound together because the context of the psalm is 2 Samuel chapters 11 and 12. ...read more

    Prune Youth Sermon

    Contributed by Youth Sermons on Sep 5, 2023
    based on 4 ratings
     | 1,583 views

    God, as the divine gardener, prunes away unhealthy and unfruitful areas of our lives to promote growth and fruitfulness. Embracing this process, though sometimes painful, leads to a deeper relationship with God and spiritual growth.

    Today we're going to talk about pruning. You know how a gardener trims a plant to help it grow better? Well, God does that with us too. He helps us grow by cutting away the stuff in our lives that's holding us back. Our main Scripture for today is John 15:1-5. Object Lesson: Bring in a small potted ...read more

    Perfecting Our Walk

    based on 20 ratings
     | 3,656 views

    It is often our tendency to measure our relationship for God in degrees, like one measures the temperature. According to John, this is not a valid method for believers in Christ. The issue is not the degree of a relationship with God, but the reality of

    PERFECTING OUR WALK 1 John 2:7-11 INTRODUCTION: Over the last few weeks, we have been developing this thought of John regarding our walk with Christ. John has challenged us to consider the validity of our walk with regard to personal obedience, personal repentance, and now personal love. The ...read more

    Receiving God’s Comfort To Give It Away Series

     | 6,228 views

    The pattern is all over Scripture: we cannot separate our vertical relationship to God from our horizontal relationship to others; the vertical always influences the horizontal. This is true in the realm of comfort.

    Receiving God’s Comfort to Give It Away (2 Corinthians 1:3-7) 1. Yesterday Marylu and I went to the Ko-ko-mah encampment as we do every year. We love the smell of campfires cooking food, crafts and arts done in an 1800’s style, the music, the costumes, the re-enactments. 2. When ...read more

    A genuine encounter with God demands that we be honest with where we are in our relationship with God. When we are in that right relationship we will according to Jack Hayford experience five types of worship.

    A Genuine Encounter with God Exodus 3 Matthew 7:20-28 Introduction: Several years ago I attended a Promise Keeper event in Indianapolis, Indiana along with several men from the church I was Pastoring. I suppose there were over 50,000 men in that Sports Dome for a Promise Keeper conference. One ...read more

    1986, with an Assistant reading the part of Philemon. An imaginary set of letters between Paul and Philemon, emphasizing that a new relationship with Christ changes every human relationship, and calls for forgiveness and mutual support.

    Among all the weighty theological treatises the apostle Paul wrote to the churches he had established, among all the complex sentences and profound thoughts and ponderous pronouncements, there is one little gem from the hand of the great apostle that is quite different. The little letter to ...read more

    Our greatest covenant relationship is to the Lord but our marriage is second to that and must be under the Lordship of Christ. The enemy attacks marriage in two different ways which impacts our relationship to God.

    Some of you have been married many years – much longer than me and my wife…some 30 years…some 40…one couple over 50 years. Isn’t that amazing! But how long have you been married to the Lord? How is that marriage? He is much more passionate about your relationship than ...read more

    Now let me ask you a question, When it comes to your relationship to God as an individual, to our relationship with God as a church, what would you say is our greatest need?

    Intro: Once again I stand here before you and as always I’m lead to a message to preach or was lead into a direction to speak. My wife asked me why don’t you pray on doing a message about Mercy. At first I kind of said well it does not usually work that way of me forcing a message or just to try ...read more

    Jesus points the Samaritan woman toward a relationship with God as the source of life.

    I. THE STORY IS SAD AND ALL TOO FAMILIAR. Nobody knows it better than a woman who lived nearly two millenniums ago in a remote village in northern Palestine. She had made what she thought was a good decision, to marry the man of her dreams. However, it was not long before she started having ...read more

    God’s conflict resolution plan for the family is centered in relationships of respect.

    On his sixteenth birthday a son approached his father and said, "Dad, I’m sixteen now. When I get my license, can I drive the family car?" His dad looked at him and said, "Son, driving the car takes maturity, and first, you must prove that you are responsible enough. And one way you must do that is ...read more
