    God doesn’t judge from ouward appearance... but too often we do. What can we do to avoid that tendency?

    OPEN: How many of you have ever watched “American Idol”? (Nearly ½ the congregation raised their hands). Ok, how many of you have ever seen “Britain’s Got Talent.”? (A few hand went up) That’s understandable since “Britain’s Got Talent” is aired in Britain. It’s the English cousin of our “American ...read more

    God’s favor is not exclusive. God doesn’t play favorites, but offers His mercy to all who will receive Him. Let’s look at some thoughts about God’s favor, His good will toward men.

    Christmas for Everybody! Luke 2:7-14 7 and she [Mary] gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. 8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. ...read more

    Gifts Of The Spirit In The Church: And Diagnostics Of The Lost

    I can't help but notice certain patterns in the people and groups around me. Of course people are more complex than stereotypes, but there are certain observable patterns that do emerge, and tend to be at least somewhat accurate in describing people groups.

    Building God’s Church through Worship (Bob Russell - When God Build’s a Church)

You might be in a Missouri country church if... 1. The doors are never locked. 2. The Call to Worship is "Y’all come on in!" 3. People ...read more

    As Paul encouraged young Timothy, so a pastor encourages his young confirmation class to choose the right road and stay on the right road...to eternity.

    Confirmation Sunday II Timothy 3:14-17 Dear Members of Crown of Glory, Dear Guests and Visitors here this morning, and especially you, the Confirmation Class of 2003: In just a few years, the seven of you will be taking another big step in your lives as you learn to drive a car.

    A sermon about Jesus and popularity (Main thought from a Christology class; outline from Jon Johnston's book, Will Evangelicalism Survive It's Own Popularity?)

    HoHum: “From this time many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him. “You do not want to leave too, do you?” Jesus asked the Twelve. Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.” John 6:66-68. To go from ...read more

     | 5,386 views

    A short sermon that parallels a high school pottery class with our potential in life and how the devil tries to make us waste our time on this earth.

    Matt 4:1-9 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. 2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred. 3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. 4 But he ...read more

    Introduction To Psalms Series

    Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Feb 22, 2020
     | 5,888 views

    This is the introduction to a series of studies on selected Psalms, developed from a series of classes. This sermon does not examine a particular psalm, but makes observations about psalms in general.

    In my personal studies I have found psalms to be richer and more thought-provoking than I had ever realized. Too often I have swept swiftly through psalms without slowing down to inquire as thoroughly as I should into the depths of meaning and feeling that are expressed by the psalmists. Upon ...read more

    Multi Ethnic Bereavement

    Contributed by Davon Huss on Apr 30, 2017
     | 13,595 views

    I wrote this for a counseling class. It contains three parts: 1) Bereavement in religion 2) Bereavement in ethnic groups 3) Applications for pastoral and clinical counselors.

    To be used of the Lord to help those grieving is both satisfying and humbling. My personal prayer is that more mourners will be drawn to the gospel of Jesus Christ. The Gospel of Christ is the only thing that can bring true and lasting comfort. Jesus said, “Blessed are those that mourn, for they ...read more

    What God Is Looking For…

    Contributed by Thomas Bowen on May 7, 2009
     | 2,092 views

    After seeing the disciples of Jesus hiding in the upper room it is hard to imagine that they had any vision of their own. That is why it is important to understand how God sees things and what he is watching for.

    Last week we looked at the slowness of Easter’s arrival for the disciples. They were locked away in a room. They were full of fear and doubts. Jesus appears, it would be easy to claim that that fixed everything for the disciples. But it did not; we know that if we read through the different ...read more

    In this final dialogue in the Upper Room, Jesus tells the disciples something of what His kingship is about. The passage before us describes the rivalry between the disciples & the contrasting servant role of Jesus.

    LUKE 22: 24-30 CONTRASTING THE KINGDOMS [JESUS’ LAST NIGHT SERIES] [Matthew 20:17–28 & Mark 10:32–45] In this sermon series we are looking at Jesus’ last night.
