    Controlling Our Complaining

    Contributed by Charles Mallory on Aug 13, 2013
     | 7,483 views

    Comparing the response of Moses (Numbers 11:4-15) to how Jesus responded (Matthew 14:13-21) after learning John the Baptist was executed. An appropriate response to stress and adversity comes through a deep, abiding relationship with God the Father.

    When it comes to complaining, Saint Francis De sales once said, “The truly patient man neither complains of his hard lot nor desires to be pitied by others. He speaks of his sufferings in a natural, true, and sincere way, without murmuring, complaining, or exaggerating ...read more

    A sermon about table fellowship.

    "Who's Coming to Dinner?" Luke 14:1, 7-24 I heard of one pastor who preached on this passage. He really, really emphasized to his congregation Jesus' Words: "When you host a lunch or dinner, don't invite your friends...Instead...invite the poor, crippled, lame, and blind." Apparently, the ...read more

    How Should Christians Vote? Scott Bayles, pastor Blooming Grove Christian Church: 11/4/2012 With the Presidential election just a couple of days away I’m guessing most of you are pretty tired of all the political ads and campaign coverage flooding your television sets.

    A message that challenges the church to make a commitment to honorably stand up with courage, and defend traditional marriage as God first ordained.

    INTRO What is sixty years worth? The last sixty years have paid tribute to the election of ten U.S. Presidents. Yuri Gagarin, sixty years ago, rocketed into history as the first human to travel beyond the clouds, and to orbit around the earth for nearly two hours. Sixty years is the span of my ...read more

    Will You Come?

    Contributed by Pastor Steve Zimmerman on Jul 31, 2010
     | 3,304 views

    The beautiful old hymn "Will you come and follow Me" asks us all to consider our call from Christ, both as believers and as church families.

    Will You Follow? Last week we sang a hymn that we have sang before. Will You Come and Follow Me was one of the opening songs and I found myself lost in it for the first time. I ‘felt’ the words as I made my feeble attempt to sing. The words to this hymn are comprised of an ...read more

    Unity is a vital part of the local church, a church plagued by division will not be effective in her mission or purpose.

    Heartburn

     | 7,922 views

    Jesus was 2 feet away from them, but they didn't know it, but there was a burning sensation, not in their stomachs, but in their souls - the shekinah, the manifest presence of God. Suddenly they were aware of Him - His voice, His mannerisms, His nail-scarred hands. He was alive!

    Got Faith?

     | 8,903 views

    Abraham and Sarah point us to a kind of faith that can help us make temporary sacrifices for our heavenly home. This faith opens up our eyes to God's activity. And it actually makes God proud of us!

    Hebrews 11:1-2, 8-16 Got Faith? Remember the old milk commercials, with famous people wearing milk moustaches? The caption at the end simple said, “Got milk?” It was catchy. It grabbed your attention. So I thought about that when it came to naming today’s sermon. We’re looking at the famous 11th ...read more

    A Starting Place For Successful Ministry

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Sep 9, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,606 views

    The Apostle Paul who had invested so much in the life of young Timothy, helps him prepare for a new beginning by offering him a starting place for success. I believe this is also a starting place for successful ministers as we prepare others to make it on their own.

    Sermon: A Starting Place for Successful Ministry Scripture: 1 Timothy 2:1-6 1Ti 2:1 ¶ I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and ...read more
