    Ministry Is A Liability

    Contributed by Heather Cook on Jan 4, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,897 views

    A personal story of my first few years in ministry. I tie it into the fact that when you are doing effective ministry you will have enemies. Just as Christ did.

    I was 21 when I first set foot in Connecticut Valley Seventh-Day-Adventist Church. I was nearly a month married, full of enthusiasm and excitement for the adventure of “real” life. Totally unprepared for the reality of it. I was well armed with a bevy of important and well-educated sounding ...read more

     | 1,594 views

    On this third Sunday of Advent (Gaudete Sunday), we change from penitence to rejoicing for what is to come.

    John 1:6-8, 19-28 The shortest and darkest day and longest night of the year – the Winter Solstice – occurs this week. It is the onset of the winter season when the sun is the furthest from Earth and is often a time of darkness, doubt, and fear. And yet, Sunday is Gaudete Sunday - a beloved day ...read more

    The Circuit Rider

     | 1,134 views

    The circuit rider played an important role in the evangelization of the American frontier. But the first "circuit rider" was Jesus Himself.

    The Circuit Rider Mark 6:1–13 NKJV Then He went out from there and came to His own country, and His disciples followed Him. And when the Sabbath had come, He began to teach in the synagogue. And many hearing Him were astonished, saying, “Where did this Man get these things? And what wisdom is this ...read more

    The Forgotten Tree

    Contributed by John Gaston on Dec 15, 2021
     | 3,293 views

    The Christmas Tree has become the main symbol of Christmas; baby Jesus has little connection to it. God's Christmas Tree is the Cross of Calvary. God hung His gift on it -- His Son Jesus. I put up a 5-ft. cross with Christmas lights on it.

    THE FORGOTTEN TREE 1 Pet. 2:24 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. In one Dennis the Menace cartoon, Dennis rushes into the living room. His mother is standing there with her mouth open and Dennis is holding a large box. 2. He announces with a loud voice, “We’d better tell Santa Claus to forget about ...read more

    Paul is calling the church members in Galatia to genuine spiritual maturity

    One of the great things about being a follower of Jesus is that you quickly discover that you are a member of a vast international family that encircles the entire world. I am not a huge traveller, but it has been my privilege to worship with other believers in such faraway places as Australia, ...read more

    Becoming Less

    Contributed by Derek Geldart on Sep 8, 2024
     | 952 views

    The goal of service is not to seek numbers or results but to build one another up in faith for His glory, not our own. Let us seek first the kingdom of God and let our good deeds point to the Father, He may become greater, and I become less (John 3:30) for His honor and glory, amen.

    Becoming Less John 3:30 Online Sermon: http://www.mckeesfamily.com/?page_id=3567 What does effective ministry look like in this modern age? It is increasingly difficult to seek first the kingdom of God when the culture around us prioritizes the worship of self. Even as new creations in Christ, ...read more

    Introduction to Psalms (Taught for a Sunday school class; material adapted from Ronnie Woolard, Professor at Mid Atlantic Christian University)

    HoHum: Philip Yancey wrote in How I learned to stop hating and start loving the Psalms: “People around me seemed to use the book as a spiritual medicine cabinet. “If you feel depressed, read Psalm 37.” If you health fails, try Psalm 121.” That approach never worked for me. Instead, I would ...read more

    A message concerning the "reasonableness" of our faith.

    Don’t Check Your Brain at the Door Acts 17:16-34 (September 9, 2001) Introduction One of the most often heard challenges to Christianity is that it is not a rational or intelligent religion.
