    can a church that was once so full of life become a white-washed tomb full of dead men’s bones and rotting corpses? That, my fellow investigators, is our job this morning as “Christian Soul Investigators.” Get it? “CSI”

    God morning, brothers and sisters! Welcome to “CSI: Canton.” For those of you who live in a cave and don’t have cable, “CSI” stands for “Crime Scene Investigation.” Now, CSI started out as a weekly crime show that literally began at the turn of the century … in the year 2000 … on CBS.

    The Good Shepherd Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Dec 3, 2012
     | 5,392 views

    One of the greatest of all the psalms gives us hope when venturing out of the sheep pen that a God of great love will accompany us in life's darkest valleys.

    Psalm 23 is by far the most well-known of the psalms. Many people who are not Jewish or Christian can often recite it from memory. It has even made its way into popular films and TV shows (mostly in graveside scenes). Overall this psalm gives us a picture of God as provider, no matter what ...read more

    Restore To Me The Joy Of Your Salvation

    Contributed by Jerry Smith on Mar 11, 2008
    based on 11 ratings
     | 33,792 views

    With the pressures of life and sins we commit, we can lose the joy of our salvation and become dry. God wants to restore us to full and complete JOY in Him.

    Joy is to be an evidence of walking with Jesus! The book we are studying in our home group is called “Outflow”. The basic premise is that we are to let Jesus so fill our lives that He spills out and overflows from our life to others. Over the pass three weeks while reading the book I had to come ...read more

    Some times we doubt God’s prvision and promises. Sometimes God’s provision just seems to dry up. What do we do then?

    TITLE: When the Creek Dries Up 082503d C. Scott Ghan This sermon was inspired by Elmer Towns’ sermon "When the Brook Dries Up". Though very little of his original text is in tact.

    When we come to the end of ourselves is when God provides all we need, just when we need it. His blessings never run dry.

    Keep the Oil Flowing Sunday, July 29, 2007 – AM By Pastor Jim May Oil – the very word brings forth images of gushing wells of black gold as it comes out of the ground.

    What Are We To Do When The Brook Dries Up?

     | 1,402 views

    How many Christians have hit a "dry patch" during their ministry or walk with the Lord, and often we could not understand the reasoning why this has happened?

    We could have called the title to this message “When in Drought, Do Not Doubt.” In the previous chapter, we learn that Ahab is now king of Israel. Unfortunately, he was worse than all the other kings before him. Each king prior to Ahab became worse than the one before. Ahab married Jezebel who led ...read more

     | 854 views

    When we find ourselves in a dry deserted place and time in our walk with the Lord, and things do not seem as if they are getting better, do we just give up?

    When It Seems That God Is Not Doing Anything, What Are We to Do? 1 Kings 19:1-18 This is a story about one of two men that did not die. Enoch walked with God and was taken so that he did not see death and Elijah was taken up to heaven in a whirlwind. In the preceding chapter, Elijah has a contest ...read more

    An Adaptation of the 23rd Psalm: This message serves as a reminder that we are sheep and it is our responsibility to follow the shepherd in every aspect of our journey even when the road becomes rough in our lives.

    Introduction Psalm 23:1 The LORD is my shepherd… This morning I want to break this first verse up so that we can get a better grasp as to what the Psalmist David was saying.

    No more powerful conjunction is found in the scriptures. These two words will climb any mountain, cross any river, traverse any valley, and give you a song to sing at midnight.

    Today, we are in our second week in a series we creatively called five. And we are talking about five things that we as pastors at Sun Valley want not from you, but for you.

    All of us have to face death, but not all of us have to fear death. A valley is not a dead-end or a cul-de-sac, but rather a tunnel opened on both ends.

    The late great trumpet player Louie Armstrong tells a story about while growing up in Louisiana, having to go down to the pond and getting water for Allie May. He gets down there and is about to scoop the water out of the pond and all of the sudden coming out of the water are these two huge eyes ...read more

    The Israelites show up for Battle but are delayed because they allow Goliath to define the terms of battle. God's people need to get into the valley because it isn't fought on the hillside.

    Showing Up For Battle I Samuel 17 Preached on Sunday, July 29, 2012 This is one of the most difficult sermons I have ever had to preach. I thought it would be Wednesday evening’s Bible Study, but the Lord would not let me escape preaching it on Sunday morning. The story found in ...read more
