    This Ash Wednesday sermon uses a scene from "Fight Club" as its major illustration - it attempts to show that Christ doesn’t just give us a second chance, but that He puts us to death (while taking on our death) in Baptism and give us the empty tomb.

    In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, the Holy Three In One who makes our lives more beautiful than what they could ever be on their own.

    When we stand before God to give an account of our life on earth, He won’t ask how many fences we made, but how many bridges we built.

    Two brothers living on adjoining farms fell into conflict after 40 years of working together. It began with a small misunderstanding, grew to a major difference, and finally exploded in an exchange of bitter words, followed by weeks of silence.

    The Sower: The Flower Approach To Life Well Lived

    Contributed by Dustin Bumgarner on Aug 13, 2014
     | 9,625 views

    Jesus told the Parable about the Sower (or Farmer, as I've written throughout). This sermon displays a unique approach to that parable, along with a special acronym of FLOWER. We must use the FLOWER method in our everyday walk with God.

    Intro: How many people here have gone to the local Farmer’s Market to get you some fresh produce? Imagine taking a bite out of a sweet, juicy watermelon. In order to bring that fresh watermelon to you, the farmer or grower would have to do some digging (pun intended) to find out the perfect ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,506 views

    So many people do not use one of the greatest resource that the believer has, and that is prayer. Do you think of prayer as something to use only in an emergency? Do you believe you have a better hold on your life than God could? Do you want any thing out

    James 4:1-3 Intro: Prayer, which allows the believer to communicate with God each day and at any time, is one of the most neglected resources we have in God. The average believer oftentimes considers prayer the last resort, only used when life gets out of hand. In this ...read more

    The new thing God promised to do in showing a way out of the spiritual wilderness and deserts people find themselves in

    Our call as Christians to love others, pray for others, and tell others how to gain salvation

    In Paul’s Letter to young Timothy he wrote many things about how the church should be run and how we should act as Christians and today’s text is part of that letter that was written. Now this letter was written around 64 a.d. while Nero was in power. Nero was a terrible ruler who ...read more

    Don’t wait for angels while waiting for Jesus to return. Be ready for Jesus by being someone’s angel.

    A couple of decades ago there was a really popular television show called Touched by an Angel. How many of you used to watch it? It was pretty good, wasn’t it?
