    A Sermon To Die For Series

    based on 2 ratings
     | 4,939 views

    Eutychus fell asleep during church... and he woke up dead. Why was Eutychus at church that night, and what can we learn from his experience?

    Someone once noted that falling asleep has often had unforeseen consequences. Adam fell asleep and woke up married and missing a rib! Samson fell asleep and woke up bald and beaten! Jonah fell asleep in the boat and woke up wet! Eutychus fell asleep and he woke up dead! Like Eutychus, people ...read more

    Contributed by Dean Courtier on Aug 8, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 275 views

    Do you really believe that God delights in you? Not just tolerates you. Not just puts up with you because Jesus died for you. But genuinely delights in you — rejoices over you — sings over you.

    Go! And Delight in His Delight - Psalm 149:4 Psalm 149:4 (NLT) — “For the Lord delights in his people; he crowns the humble with victory.” Introduction — “Do You Really Believe He Delights in You?” I want to begin with a question that’s not just theological, but personal: Do you really believe ...read more

    Whatever the spiritual realm is, it bestows on people a range of accomplishment abilities that go beyond mere skill or knack. A gift of the Spirit is something that God gives for the purpose of building up others in a life of faith.

    Opening illustration: Living Unaware of Our Vast Fortune Come with me into West Texas during the Depression. Mr. Ira Yates was like many other ranchers and farmers. He had a lot of land, and a lot of debt. Mr. Yates wasn’t able to make enough on his ranching operation to pay the principal and ...read more

    it can be hard to see what something really is, so we have to back up and look at what it really is and what its really trying to say. we have to do that with scripture too.

    Sent With Power And Authority: Breaking Boundaries Luke 9:1-6 March 22, 2008 Lent #4 Intro: (extreme close up pictures guessing game) Obviously, it can be hard to tell what something is when we get too close to it, so then what we need to do is back up a bit so we can see the bigger picture. ...read more

    What Do I Do When I Feel Tempted To Sin? Series

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Mar 6, 2024
     | 872 views

    In those situations where we’re facing a sin, something we know is wrong, but it’s a desire within us, what do we do?

    I remember feeling many years ago that the power of sin was just too strong in my life. I would feel the pressure within to indulge in the sin. And it seemed inevitable. Theres just no way. I can’t stop sinning. It’s too big. It’s too much. But over time as I learned about God, and grew in my ...read more

    Following up on last week's message about the means of grace, this message talks about how we can use spiritual disciplines to allow God to bring the change that is needed in our lives.

    The Promise of Change The Company We Keep, prt. 7 Wildwind Community Church David Flowers June 13, 2009 Last week I spoke to you about “means of grace.” Let’s do a quick review. What are the means of grace? They are the ways you receive God’s grace into your life. This ...read more

    We’re not to get caught up in date setting but instead are to be ready at all times to meet the Lord because He will come like a thief in the night. In the meantime, we’re to cultivate faith, love, and hope.

    Getting Ready for the Second Coming [Drama: “Security Check”] I can’t imagine what that would be like when the Book of Life is opened and your name is nowhere to be found! The feelings of regret, loneliness, and outright alarm would be devastating. And that would be nothing like the eternal ...read more

     | 13,192 views

    This is a follow-up on "Choosing the Good Portion," (Luke 10: 38-42). Our faith and attitude intertwine to affect our outlook on life, on our relationships with others and with God, and are the necessary components of effective prayer life.

    Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, have you ever been in a situation where you thought everybody would agree with you only to receive immediate comments to the contrary? I found that out last Sunday when we talked about choosing the good portion and I used the illustration of Kentucky Fried ...read more

     | 8,822 views

    This world is full of Satan's schemes and activities to lure Christians to give up their faith. But in this sermon, we will see a perfect example set by Jesus in order to be effective in our vigilance against the enemy.

    Intro: Last week we were able to learn that Satan is only a voiceless roaring lion who wanted to set fear and worries in us by using his defenseless roar. That’s why, if we recall our theme this month “I am Vigilant, I am Prepared for Eternity” we are called to be watchful and be on guard always as ...read more

    Oftentimes we don’t see God operating, but yet He is there; behind us, in front of us and on our left hand and right. God’s unseen hand guides and controls, tears down and builds up.

    I Can’t See Him, But I Know He Is There SCRIPTURE: "Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I cannot perceive him: On the left hand, where he doth work, but I cannot behold him: he hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him: But he knoweth the way that I ...read more

     | 8,987 views

    Scripture says that Jesus is our "mediator." What is a mediator and what did Jesus do to fill that need in our lives?

    OPEN: Humorist Dave Barry once wrote about gifts that were given to Jesus by the Wise Men. He suggested that if you carefully analyzed what the Bible tells us, you’d find there was an overlooked theological fact in the story. There is no mention of wrapping paper. Now why would the wisemen not use ...read more

    Sometimes we feel like we're doing okay. But there are other times when things start getting out of control in our lives and this stuff starts to well up.

So we're going through the book verse by verse in an in-depth study of the book of Philippians. When we come to those passages that have to do ...read more
