     | 5,685 views

    A Johns Hopkins University medical researcher has just discovered what the Presbyterian Ministers’ Life Insurance Fund has known for more than two centuries: ATTENDING CHURCH IS GOOD FOR YOUR HEALTH.

    IWHA IS THAT? ATTENDING CHURCH IS GOOD FOR YOUR HEALTH. Illus: Statistics reveal that the risk of fatal heart disease is almost twice as high for the non-churchgoer than for church-goers according to a study made by Dr. George W. Comstock of the university’s Department of Epidemiology. ...read more

    Why do I need God? Story – About 3 weeks ago my fiancé and I were driving down a road known as the Bee Line heading for my home church when I noticed that I had a need.

    Reformation Day: In spite of our ’short memories’ God continually reminds us of his love. He points to Jesus time and again to remind us of the salvation He won for us through his Cross and Resurrection.

    Reformation Sunday – John 8:31-36 “The Heart of the Reformation: We Fall – We Forget – God Restores” The lady must have been desperate. She decided to write a letter to Dear Abby. Her letter reads: Dear Abby, I am 44 and would like to meet a man my age with no bad habits. She signed her name, ...read more

    Why Doesn't God Aswer My Prayer Series

    Contributed by Ralph Juthman on Nov 1, 2009
    based on 10 ratings
     | 13,684 views

    When God chooses to answer our prayer, He does so for His glory not to make our lives more comfortable. When we receive an answer to prayer it is not so we can live our lives independent of His will, but so that we will be fulfilled in the center of His

    You Asked For It Why Doesn’t God Answer My Prayer? 2 Corinthians 12:1-10 INTRODUCTION The cartoon character Ziggy is standing, looking up on a mountain. The sky is dark and there’s one cloud up there. Ziggy says, ‘Have I been out on hold for the rest of my life?” ( Tales of A tady Oxcart, ...read more

    We Believe In The Second Coming Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on May 24, 2021
     | 3,071 views

    If the Bible were not to teach the Second Coming of Christ, then you would be left with a potentially endless cycle where things would simply go round and round. Your view of the end of time can have a profound effect on how you live your life in the present.

    We conclude this sermon series entitled Creed by examining the Bible’s teaching of the Second Coming of Jesus. If you were to travel to Rome to see Michelangelo’s fresco in the Sistine Chapel of the Vatican City, you would no doubt gaze at the iconic and best-known picture of the Sistine Chapel – ...read more

    How Can We Show The Lord We Love Him ?

     | 1,018 views

    As we take a close look at this text, we see a picture of the Lord and the twelve disciples gathered for their Passover supper.

    The disciples had the question of who was the greatest among them on their minds, but Jesus had something entirely different on His mind. He was thinking of the one that would BETRAY HIM! One of the most painful experiences in life is to be betrayed by someone we love. • We all know the ...read more

    Jesus died for us because He loves us and wanted us back.

    Well known to us are The Ten Commandments. But less well known are The Paradoxical Commandments? “Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable. Be honest and frank anyway.” “The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.” Ever heard these statements in conversation or in print? Kent ...read more

    Any ability or talent or appearance or power or fame we receive is entirely derivative-an expression of His goodness imputed to us for a short while. Satan wanted worship for himself. Saints seek to bring worship to their God.

    And around the throne, twenty four thrones, and on the thrones twenty four elders sitting, clothed in white garments, and on their heads, golden crowns (of victory) And out of the throne came lightnings and voices and thunders, and seven fiery lamps burning before the throne, which are the seven ...read more

     | 2,561 views

    This sermon explains why only Jesus could have paid the price for us and why He just could’nt have died any old way or time.

    Why did Jesus have to die? John 3:16 - 17 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. ...read more

    Christmas - When We Look At Jesus We See God

    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,247 views

    Short all-age talk for 2009 Christmas Eve services. Many people come from our community. Talk uses an illustration of how I as an earthly Dad might write a book for my children to get to know me better. God has given us a book, but also given us Jesus.

    God couldn’t have made Himself bigger to impress us, so He made Himself smaller to attract us. Knock, knock! Who’s there? Wayne! Wayne who? A Wayne in a manger … Knock, knock! Who’s there? Hanna!

    This sermon illustrates from the book of Daniel that a spiritual battleground exists beyond the normal plane of existence.

    1In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was revealed unto Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the thing was true, but the time appointed was long: and he understood the thing, and had understanding of the vision. 2In those days I Daniel was mourning three full weeks. 3I ate ...read more

    Does Church Really Matter? Series

    Contributed by James Lee on Dec 4, 2015
     | 6,949 views

    I realized the triumphal entry, the crucifixion and the resurrection will mean very little if anything at all until we answer this question.

    “Does Church really Matter? Acts 9:18-30” Today we begin looking for Easter and many will be preparing for egg hunts and the like. Sermons are preached today about the triumphal entry as Jesus made His way into Jerusalem. The crucifixion will be the topic ...read more
