    based on 6 ratings
     | 6,893 views

    Who am I as a person as I examine the fragileness of life?

    Isaiah 40:1-8, 28-31 “Who am I?” As I tried to formulate this message a few things distracted me this week. I was distracted in my preparation by a funeral I conducted yesterday, which for me usually causes me to slow things down a bit and reflect on my life. I was distracted by a visit I made ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,111 views

    Jesus came to overcome those who are opposed to God. So we can have confidence, not in our own ability to overcome those who oppose the gospel, but in the God who sent his only Son as both a sign of his love for us and as the means by which that love coul

    There are times when we find it hard to trust God to look after us. There are times when we think our situation is so bad there’s no way out. There are other times when we think we know the best solution to our problems so we don’t bother to ask God for help. All three of those statements were ...read more

    Restoring The Risk Of Christmas Series

    Contributed by Brad Bailey on Jul 22, 2009
     | 3,157 views

    We often think of Christmas in terms of peace … and this can begin to be reduced to that which is cozy and comfortable. But the events that we are invited to enter… begin with the opposite…

    As we enter the Christmas season… a term that is often referred to is “the Christmas spirit.’ It may be a parent telling their children to get a better attitude… or hinting to your boss to give you some extra slack or time off. But what really is the Christmas spirit? Perhaps there are ...read more

    Mary, A Model of Motherhood Luke 1:26-38 Mother’s Day holds its share of joys and sorrows. Many of us have (or have had) good mothers and carry a multitude of pleasant memories.

    Defeating Depression Part 1 Series

    Contributed by Mark Elkins on Mar 13, 2003
    based on 48 ratings
     | 4,510 views

    Depression is not a spirit of God. Therefore it can be overcome! The first step in overcoming depression is identifying it in our lives. Can you say, "No more cave dwelling for me!"?

    “Depression is anger turned inward” (Marilyn Appelbaum). Children become depressed when the have unresolved anger in their lives. They have to develop the skills to deal with anger in a healthy way. Let me give you an example. Susie came home from school dirty. Mom and Dad had a hard day at ...read more

    In this sermon I want to show how all that took place in the life of Jesus was in fulfillment of prophecy.

    Scripture We have just heard the story of Jesus’ birth told in the Lessons and Carols. There is a sense in which the entire Bible from Genesis to Revelation is about the Lord Jesus Christ. However, we have listened to various passages of Scripture that deal specifically with the birth of ...read more

    The Story of Solomon and The Queen of Sheba combines history and mystery. It is our history and the half has not been told.

    Sunday, February 1, 2009 “The Half was not told” I Kings 10: 1 – 10 One of the most intriguing stories that combine our Afro-Centric history with a story of love is the meeting and conversation between King Solomon and The Queen of Sheba. This story reminds me that ...read more

    God-Given Dreams (Mother's Day)

    Contributed by Chris Surber on May 12, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,156 views

    Of all of the dreams that God has given to women it occurs to me that probably no other dream is of a higher nature than that of being a mother. A mother’s love for her children is, at times, nothing short of astonishing.

    “God-Given Dreams” Acts 16:9-15 Introduction To laugh is to risk appearing the fool. To weep is to risk appearing sentimental. To reach out for another is to risk involvement. To expose feelings is to risk exposing our true self; to place your ideas, your dreams, before the crowd is to risk ...read more
