    Contributed by Dan Proctor on Jan 23, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,079 views

    Ananias was not a famous, well-known believer. He is not mentioned in Scripture outside of this event. Yet, Ananias was given such great privilege from the Lord. Why?

    Ananias – Given Great Privilege Acts 9:10-18, 22:12-16 Introduction: 1. When considering the book of Acts, if I were to ask you to fill in the blank, and I said, “Ananias and _____________.” What would you say? Would you say, “Sapphira?” 2. Did you know that there is ...read more

    Contributed by Pat Cook on Dec 5, 2011
     | 4,208 views

    This describes a conversation had by Jesus' fishermen disciples, talking about the miraculous event later, spoken with the local accent. Better heard than read.

    John 21:1-14 – Who’s the Boss? Today, we look at one of my favourite stories in the whole Bible. I can’t exactly tell you why I like it so much. Maybe it’s Jesus’ playful and whimsical nature shining through. Maybe it’s because I grew up in a fishing village, ...read more

    When Jesus spent a considerable amount of time in prayer, it was usually in preparation for a God-sized event. This sermon was adapted from a sermon by Jeff Strite

    A Scotsman, was taking a trip to the Holy Land, and when he got to the Sea of Galilee he was shocked when he found it would cost fifty dollars an hour to rent a boat to go out on the water. "Hoot mon," he said, "in Scotland I could ha got a boat for about $20." "That might be true," said the boat ...read more

    This is a first person rendition of how Joseph (the step-father of our Lord) may have viewed the events of Christ’s birth and life.

    (This sermon is done first person. I’m including my actions in the hopes this will help anyone wanting to duplicate some or all of this sermon.

    The Day of the Lord refers to the time when God will dramatically intervene in human history and set in motion the events of the end of the world, as we know it.

    INTRODUCTION God has a great way of humbling us. This week I had the privilege of driving my two granddaughters, Lizzie and Caroline to school. They call me Dee Dee, so when I get to hang out with them, I call it Dee Dee duty. But I always say that when I get to be with them it’s a happy Dee ...read more

    There are six things I want to point out about these 3 verses. The events of the Lord’s return and of the resurrection are clearly spelled out in these verses.

    Last Wednesday in 1 Thess. 4: 13-15, Paul told us he didn’t want us to be ignorant about those who have fallen asleep. He basically told us that it was OK to grieve over the loss of our loved ones, but he said not to grieve as one who has no hope. He assured us that our loved ones who have died ...read more

    Restoring The Risk Of Christmas Series

    Contributed by Brad Bailey on Jul 22, 2009
     | 3,147 views

    We often think of Christmas in terms of peace … and this can begin to be reduced to that which is cozy and comfortable. But the events that we are invited to enter… begin with the opposite…

    As we enter the Christmas season… a term that is often referred to is “the Christmas spirit.’ It may be a parent telling their children to get a better attitude… or hinting to your boss to give you some extra slack or time off. But what really is the Christmas spirit? Perhaps there are ...read more

    Knowledge is a powerful tool for us. We need to know God; His scriptures; current events; and our history to keep from being destroyed.

    Hosea 4:6 (ESV): 6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; because you have rejected knowledge, I reject you from being a priest to me. And since you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children. Knowledge is a powerful force. We live out what we know ...read more

     | 6,136 views

    The author, believed to be Solomon, illustrates this truth by comparing the opposites —fourteen pairs of contrasting activities as examples of how life is comprised of contrasting events and seasons.

    A new employee had been caught coming in late for work three times and the fourth time the manager decided to discipline him. He said, “Look here!
