    based on 54 ratings
     | 19,627 views

    This sermon relates the grief of David over the death of Absalom to God’s grief over our sin.

    Turn with me to 2 Samuel 18. Read 2 Samuel 18:24-33. Here we see a sad picture. King David is well advanced in years. He is no longer the young vibrant man that he once was. He is a broken man. The years had taken their toll on this once strong warrior. He had seen his family fall apart ...read more

    based on 145 ratings
     | 30,239 views

    This is about allowing the Lord to have his way with you.

    “May I help you?” That is a familiar greeting when we walk into a store. Anyone who has ever worked in a retail environment knows that question well. When we were in Haiti, we went to an open market to look at some souvenirs. The merchants were most eager to help us with purchasing pottery, ...read more

    based on 15 ratings
     | 3,164 views

    This is full text, albeit short. This was part of a Good Friday service covering the sayings of Jesus on the cross.

    She was perched on the couch. “Catch me, daddy!” She leaped into my arms. Man, was I scared. My daughter demonstrated faith and trust in me as her dad. She just knew I would catch her. I wasn’t so sure. She has known from very early that I love her and that I have her best interest in mind. ...read more

    based on 91 ratings
     | 13,183 views

    This sermon started when I was in Preaching Class, and it evolved into this. I preached this sermon my first Sunday at my church.

    I’m a “dunker.” Not with a basketball, as I am only 5’9”, but rather with chocolate chip cookies. There is nothing quite like the chocolate chip cookie. They come in all shapes and sizes, but they are very similar in how they are made. There is the flour, sugar, butter, eggs, vanilla and, of ...read more

    This is about choosing to follow God.

    We have so many CHOICES. Cereals, soaps, cars. The Model-T was offered only in black. Minor choices: socks, Coke or Pepsi, car color. Major choices: marriage, career, where to live. Give a brief history of exodus and conquest. Read Joshua 24:14-18. The people were faced with a ...read more

    This sermon gives people a time for them to allow God to search their heart.

    The Lenten Season is one of preparation and self-examination.

    If We Don't Do It Who Will?

    Contributed by Wesley Bishop on Apr 5, 2004
    based on 27 ratings
     | 6,694 views

    This is a Palm Sunday message.

    Read Luke 19:28-40. The Palm Sunday passages often seem trite. Much like the Christmas story, or any other familiar Bible story, we can gloss right over the truth because we’ve read it a million times. Each year at Palm Sunday, we have the obligatory feel-good message about the palm branches, ...read more

    This is not the typical Easter sermon. It is specific to our church and where we are. It looks at some different implications of the events surrounding the resurrection.

    This is a slightly different Easter message than you may be used to. It’s not typical. There are some observations that are appropriate for where we are as a church and where we’re headed. Read Luke 24:1-12. Many of us have read or heard this passage a million times. We heard a number of sermons ...read more
