     | 7,167 views

    God is working to get our attention. Sometimes He uses alarm bells when we must respond immediately. Sometimes He uses alarm clocks to focus us on our daily disciplines. What is best, however, is the inner body clock, the inner drive to be a Kingdom pe

    The greatest challenge any speaker has is to gain and to hold the attention of his audience. Speech teachers tell us that if we are going to practice anything, practice both the opening and the ending of a speech. That may be all that anyone remembers. So how does a speaker gain and ...read more

    The church must be the church. We are the people who right now know where God is. We are the people who know what God’s love is. We are the people who know that where God is there is hope. Through the hurricanes and heart aches of life, we as the chur

    At certain time in the past I have become a news junkie.

    Peter calls us a "kingdom of priests" - what does he mean, and how can the Church carry out this purpose? This message explores what it means for God's people to be priests to the world.

    Title: "Lakewood: A Kingdom of Priests" Text: 1 Peter 2:1-12 ILLUS: Father Matthew Kelty spoke at Asbury College chapel on day – what intrigued me most was that the abbey was just an hours’ drive down the road…..I even spent a few meaningful days. Something pretty intriguing ...read more

    Contributed by Ian Bullock on Aug 19, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,227 views

    An challenging exploration of what it means to be the church here and now. This is a re-work of a much older sermon of mine, which feels as relevant now as it did years ago. The analogy was used from another source, although I cannot now remember where that source is.

    In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen. Throughout the Gospels we see Jesus involved in situations where a number of profound questions are asked. Questions such as Pilate asking what is truth, or what is power, and today our Gospel leaves us with another when he asks his ...read more

    Christians need to experience these three things in their lives in order to be used by God in what may well be the last days prior to His return.

    CLUED IN...TUNED IN...TURNED ON “For from you the word of the Lord has sounded forth, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place.

    Maintaining Family Series

    Contributed by Paul Newell on Aug 29, 2001
    based on 68 ratings
     | 6,512 views

    As we conclude our series on our church covenant we need to understand what it means to actually support our church family.

    It still amazes me, almost 25% of all marriages will end in divorce. That means one out of four marriage covenants will be broken, tossed to the sidelines and forgotten. Families will be torn apart. Interesting is the typical reasons given for ignoring the marriage covenant. communication ...read more

    Do we really need multiple mortal human priest to grant us access to God? What about those churches that claim we do? Hebrews 7:18-28 provides us with a definitive answer.

Yes, those things have become as daily an experience as most any other part of our lives. Have you gotten the one from someone who sounds like they’re ...read more

    A Family Photo

    Contributed by Curry Pikkaart on Nov 2, 2013
     | 4,965 views

    Family portraits are wonderful. But they can also be deceiving as many families are far from the happy group pictured. Acts 2:42-47 is a family portrait that portrays the early church when they were a happy group. What can we learn?

    “Connected: A Family Portrait” Dt. 4:5-14; Acts 2:42-47 Family portraits are wonderful. We cherish seeing loved ones all connected together, providing a picture that will produce memories for the ages. But family portraits can also be deceiving.
