The church of Sardis reminds us of the imminence of Christ’s return, and calls us to be found ready at all times.

I read a story this week, from an old Reader’s Digest, about a cat was run over by a car. The cat belonged to 4-year-old Billy, and before he could find out about his cat’s death, his mother quickly disposed of the remains. After a few days, though, Billy finally asked about the cat. “Billy, the ...read more

The Christian Life is much like a person in training to participate in the Olypic Games in Athens this summer, 2004.

Christian Life – Winners are Finishers -Set a Spiritual Goal- Hebrews 12:1-2 Have you noticed that you sometimes do better when you have people cheering for you as you compete in sporting events?

Christians claim that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God... but what does that really mean?

Have you ever come out with the right answer by mistake?

Christian Cost Assessment

based on 4 ratings

Discipleship is not a casual affair. In a series of three encounters, Jesus shows the high priority he places on discipleship.

“Let’s cut to the chase. After nearly two decades of studying Christian churches in America, I’m convinced that the typical church as we know it today has a rapidly expiring shelf life.” This dire assessment of the state of the church begins George Barna’s 1998 book, The Second Coming of The ...read more

Where Does Your Mind Dwell?

Contributed by Eston Williams on Feb 3, 2006

based on 8 ratings

| 5,171 views

Each of us gets to choose the thoughts on which our minds dwell. Paul suggests dwelling on whatever is true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, admirable, and worthy of praise.

Where does you mind dwell? What kind of thoughts occupy your thinking most to the day? It’s an interesting question to which most of us would probably reply, “I haven’t really thought about it.” The Apostle Paul encouraged the people who were the church in Phillipi and the people who are the ...read more

Spiritually abused Christians and spiritual abusers are more prevalent than you may think. This sermon identifies spiritual abuse and offers some remedies.

INTRODUCTION I am a victim of spiritual abuse. And, chances are, if you have been a member of a church or religious organization for any length of time, you are too.

Slippery Rocks

based on 8 ratings

| 4,249 views

Even the fundamentals of our faith -- the Bible, prayer, the church, spiritual experience -- can become slippery, unsure. The way to certainty is through obedience.

Although generally I stay away from stories that begin, “There were a Baptist minister, a Catholic priest, and a Jewish rabbi,” today I’ll make an exception. Sometimes you just have to be corny to get your point across. So, sure enough, there were a Baptist minister, a Catholic priest, and a ...read more

Tychicus, Onesimus, and Aristarchus chose to chain themselves to ministries of encouragement, inclusion, and support.

If you follow the rock music scene, I guess I should hurry to assure you that the sermon today is not about a heavy metal group, nor is it about some kind of kinky fetish. The theme, "A Motley Crew, In Chains" is evoked by the long list of names which Paul singles out as he finishes the Colossian ...read more
