    Try This At Home Series

    Many Christians believe that ministry should only be attempted by "trained professional". "Don’t try this at home" is their mantra. But Ephesians 4 teaches something entirely different.

    OPEN: (The following illustration originated from either Tom Osborn or Lynn Malone here on sermoncentral.com) I read the following description of a preacher’s job from someone who had known a number of preachers over their lifetime, and they had put together a synthesized view of a man they ...read more

    One More Chance Series

     | 18,959 views

    God gives one more chance to his fickle children, one more chance to return to him, one more chance to avert destruction, one more chance to know him and be healed.

    Aren’t you glad that God is the God of second chances? This week I have been sick with a nasty bug, which has left me at times with a migraine that keeps me from being able to read. This is one way God slows me down and forces me to meditate. I spent more time than usual laying around thinking ...read more

    The Dragnet

    1. Free will makes hell necessary. 2. Justice makes hell necessary. 3. Hell begins here and now, just as heaven does.

    The Dragnet Matthew 13:47-50 Bill Hybels, the pastor of Willow Creek Church in Chicago which has over 20,000 people in attendance each week, tells the story of an encounter he had with a young woman: “I recall one time being in a restaurant studying for a message, and a gal looked over from her ...read more

    This is about time management.

    How would you like to receive a check everyday? It would be the same amount as everyone else in the world. No matter how you spent it, you would get the same amount the next day and the next day. Wouldn’t that be nice? Well each and every one of us gets the same amount of time everyday. Each ...read more

    Love is not self seeking, irritable and does not keep records of wrongs.

    Introduction Do you know the problem of doing a series on 1 Corinthians 13, its not that you run out of material. While at the moment I’m covering 3 characteristics a sermon, I’ve seen series that cover one a sermon. I’m don’t repeat myself enough to bring that off though. It’s that you quickly run ...read more

    From the parable of the vineyard workers, understand the generosity of God’s grace and learn to extend grace and mercy to others.

    Parable of the Vineyard Workers This is not a well-liked story because it hits at our sense for what is fair and just. Our first impression is that it is not fair. Why? Why Jesus tells this parable? 20:1 “The kingdom of heaven is like…” It is a description of how God’s Kingdom functions. It ...read more

    When Good Things Happen To Bad People Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 10, 2004
    based on 17 ratings
     | 5,870 views

    When unworthy people get good things, prayer helps us discover that we too do have good things, that the issue is not goods but our feelings, and that ultimately God is just and gracious.

    There is, indeed, very little justice in the world. But that’s very old news. We established that last week. Last week we talked about that age-old problem of what you do what bad things happen to good people. We thought about how, when good people get into tough times, it just feels as though ...read more

    Having just returned from 6 days of vacation that included three different hotels (and rides on 6 different roller coasters in two different amusement parks) I can relate to Stephan Brown’s comments about packing and unpacking while on vacation.

    how Jesus cleansed the temple and paved the way for our salvation

    March 23, 2003 John 2:13-22 When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover, Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 14 In the temple courts he found men selling cattle, sheep and doves, and others sitting at tables exchanging money. 15 So he made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple area, ...read more

    God is sovereign!

    I feel this morning somewhat like the numerous TV reporters covering events in the Middle East, who have to stay alert to a variety of events beyond their control while trying to focus on the story they are reporting. Off-balance is probably a good description. Being off-balance also describes us. ...read more

    This is an Easter Sermon looking at what Judas missed by killing himself before the resurrection.

    (I began this message with a Video Clip from Jesus Christ Superstar, the scene where Judas returns to the high priest and then hangs himself.) Each year since 1970 at Madam Tussaud’s Wax Museum in London England thousands of international visitors are asked to name which person, past or present, ...read more

    A Single New Humanity Series

    based on 90 ratings
     | 7,733 views

    In the past we were alienated from God and from others, but now we have been reconciled to God through the work of Jesus Christ, so let’s seek to live for the future, for a time when all of God’s people will be joined as one, in a new heaven and a new ear

    One of the things we love to do is to remember the past. We keep journals and photo albums, we tell stories and reminisce, all to preserve our memories. On the other hand there are some memories that we don’t want to remember. Memories of past hurts, of things we’ve done that we’re ashamed of. Some ...read more
