    The Meaning Of Love

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Oct 8, 2001
    based on 231 ratings
     | 12,030 views

    Jesus teaching on love is totally radical. He pushes us to practice love, rather than giving excuses, and he points out that to love is to be a neighbour to anyone we might come across who needs our care.

    You may remember the Beatles, back in the 60’s singing "All you need is Love." There’s no doubt that there was a great truth carried in those simple lyrics. If we were to look around the world today, it’s clear that a good dose of love would cure many of the world’s ills. But it’s easier said than ...read more

    based on 167 ratings
     | 17,085 views

    Some may look at the Christian life with its stresses and struggles and wonder if salvation is really worth it. But this message points out that what we have gained in salvation is well worth any struggles we might endure.

    Is Salvation Really Worth The Struggle? Text: Heb.2: 3; Ps.73: 1-24 Intro: The part of our text found in the book of Hebrews referred to salvation as ?great salvation.? The majority of the time probably most Christians would agree with that summation. However, there are times when we feel ...read more

    based on 76 ratings
     | 13,216 views

    Many people down thru the ages have been "purpose driven"... but have failed to understand the most important part of what makes us a Christian. Do you know what might have been missing in their lives?

    OPEN: A mother looked out a window and saw Johnny playing church with their three kittens. He had them lined up and was preaching to them. The mother turned around to do some work. A while later she heard meowing and scratching on the door. The cats were obviously upset and frightened. She ...read more

    A Baby On The Way: A Birth Announcement

    Contributed by Troy Borst on Dec 6, 2004
    based on 26 ratings
     | 7,969 views

    An announcement usually has: the baby’s name, date and time of birth, weight , length, and place, siblings, and of course the parents’ names. Let’s look at these things about Jesus that we might understand His birth better.

    A Baby on the Way: A Birth Announcement Luke 1:26-38 Luke 2:1-8 INTRODUCTION... Howard Hendricks, quoted in Homemade, September, 1989 A little boy asked his mother where he came from, and also where she had come from as a baby. His mother gave him a tall tale about a beautiful white-feathered ...read more

    God In The Middle Of Human Events

    based on 10 ratings
     | 3,951 views

    During Memorial Day weekend, we celebrate the sacrifices of those who died that we might live in freedom and in peace. While remembering their accomplishments, we must also ask ourselves where is God in the history and human events?

    I Chronicles 29:10-20 “God in the Middle of Human Events” INTRODUCTION People often comment that they see God in numerous places in nature like a beach sunset, on a mountain top panorama, and the gently flowing water of a forest stream. It is more difficult for us to see God in history. Not ...read more

    Discovering You Style (Part 3) Series

    based on 64 ratings
     | 23,988 views

    Some people, like the Samaritan woman, are very good at using the invitational approach. They might not be able to give a complete explanation of everything that Christ has done, but they can say, “Come, see a man…could this be the Christ?” Others, like

    Discovering Your Style, Part 3 Rev. Brian Bill 3/11/01 Prayer. The woman in the drama is in desperate need of healing.

    Biblical Baptism

     | 4,915 views

    What is the method of baptism seen in the New Testament? You might be surprised to discover that many who do not practice immersion, admit that immersion is the New Testament pattern! So what does the New Testament say? Read on!

    BIBLICAL BAPTISM Calvary Baptist Church May 11, 2003 and November 21, 2010 Recently my 7 year old son was baptized at nearby Lake Tahoe.

    The Heart Of Christmas

    Contributed by Matthew Stoll on Jan 17, 2008
     | 11,218 views

    A simple message to help us understand the incredible depth of the love of God in the birth of Jesus and his purpose in sending him so we might have a real and personal relationship with him (rather than knowing about him).

    As I was praying and preparing for this message, I knew what God had placed on my heart to share, but I couldn’t come up with any clever, cute, funny stories like I’ve had in the past. Tonight, I’m just going to shoot straight with you if I may. It’s like on those rare occasions when I do drink ...read more

    "The Subtle Sin Of Codependency"

    Contributed by Jerry Depoy on Jul 31, 2008
    based on 9 ratings
     | 8,513 views

    We might assume that Eve wanted to know evil, however, was that her primary motive? It is my opinion that Eve wanted to become “God” so that she could be good, not necessarily so that she could be evil! And that is a subtle thought!

    My personal definition of co-dependency for your consideration: When a person focuses on someone besides God, in an attempt to become the god of a person who is in distress, until the person they are trying to help, ultimately becomes their god. Our Church has begun a “Celebration Recovery” ...read more

    What Would Jesus Say To Harry Potter? Series

    Contributed by Greg Hanson on Apr 16, 2007
    based on 13 ratings
     | 8,373 views

    This is, I believe, a balanced look at the Harry Potter phenomenon, acknowledging that Christians have supported and opposed it. But beyond that, this message looks at what Jesus might have to say to Harry, if Harry were a real person.

    [Preached in November 2002. Stats can probably be updated at Wikipedia.com] Harry Potter. Since the release of the first book about him by J. K. Rowling in 1997, Harry Potter has captivated the minds and imaginations of children around the world. But not just children. Parents, college students, ...read more

     | 2,382 views

    Jesus said don’t worry about food and clothes. Don’t be consumed if you have them or not. If Jesus would have been Italian, he might have just said, "Forgeh ’Bout it!"

    Jesus has been telling us about money and possessions. Be generous. Share the blessings that God has given you with others. Make giving your lifestyle. Tithing is one gift that God gives us to help keep our desires in check and to train us to live a lifestyle of giving. End of the month giving ...read more

    This message is the first in a series concerning the Biblical Family: In it I hope to show God’s view of a virtuous woman and encourage wives and mothers to examine themselves in light of God’s word, that they might receive praise from their husbands and

    INTRODUCTION: A. Many years ago the Christian Digest carried this little story of a busy mother. 1. A busy mother was one day regretting that she could do so little Christian work.

    We need to be careful of what we ask for. When we ask for things of this world we just might get them. But, if we place God first we will have live that are truly touched and blessed.

    I remember one Sunday several years ago, just a couple of years after I went into the ministry. It had been raining non-stop for a couple of days. I was appointed, at that time, in farm country. Those folks are always praying for rain. My phone had rung all morning with people calling to tell ...read more

    Is preaching foolishness? Believe it or not, that’s what the Bible says. The preaching event seems like foolishness to people. But despite how it might appear, it’s the way that God has ordained to equip His church.

    http://brushforkbanner.blogspot.com 2 CORINTHIANS 5:11-15 As you know, this past week I went to a pastors’ conference called Basics 2009.
