     | 8,489 views

    It is amazing how genuine kindness and love touches others! Equally amazing to me is why we fail to express love or receive love until the most desperate kind of circumstances sweep over us.

    Contributed by James Lee on Nov 21, 2013
    based on 7 ratings
     | 53,769 views

    Where do the storms that we face come from? What causes the rough seas and howling winds to blow through our lives? Why are we so fearful, so afraid when they come?

    Billy Graham once said. “The storm was raging. The sea was beating against the rocks in huge, dashing waves. The lightning was flashing, the thunder was roaring, the wind was blowing; but the little bird was sound asleep in the crevice of the rock, its head tucked serenely under its wing. ...read more

    The Communion

     | 59,074 views

    An explanation of what the Lord's Supper is, where it derived from, and how we are told to partake of it today. It includes why young children should not partake, nor anyone who has sin in their hearts.

    Today is the first Sunday of the month, and this is the Sunday which we will observe the Lord’s Supper. We will do that at the end of the service today, so I thought it appropriate to talk about Communion so that all would understand what it is, what it means, and that we can be on the same ...read more

    Why are we concerned about our purpose as a church, & what we are trying to do? To answer that, let me tell you of something that happened here about 9 years ago.

    MELVIN NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK (REVISED: 2020) TEXT: John 20:24-28 As most of you who are present here this morning know, our Wed.

    Contributed by John Gaston on Nov 4, 2015
     | 10,080 views

    In one of Paul's most discouraged moments, the Lord Jesus appeared to him and told him to cheer up, giving him several reasons why. We too should be buoyed by the same command and encouragements.

    THE COMMAND TO CHEER UP Acts 23:6-11 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Dear Abby: One of the toughest tasks a church faces is choosing a good minister. A member of an official board had watched the pastor search committee reject applicant after applicant for some fault, alleged or otherwise. It was time ...read more

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Jan 4, 2016
     | 7,280 views

    When we look at the account of the wise men we will see some reasons why they were wise. The characteristics that made the wise men so wise are the same ones that will make us wise too.

    WHAT MADE THE WISE MEN SO WISE? Matt. 2:1-14 INTRODUCTION: Today I’ll be talking about the wise men’s part in the Christmas story. You might be wondering why I am doing a Christmas sermon after Christmas. Well, I’m focusing on the wise men specifically after Christmas because ...read more

    The First Six Seals, Part 1

    Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Feb 13, 2014
     | 4,620 views

    As the Tribulation begins, words can barely describe the times that are ahead of the inhabitants of Earth. Christians today ought to live and act with urgency to tell others about Jesus, and this chapter begins to show us why!

    The First Six Seals, Part 1 Revelation, Part 6, Revelation 6:1-6 Introduction - Today we begin to look at a time so horrific … words barely describe it -- There’s an urgency to tell others about Jesus; because this is prophecy - I want to remind you that after Chap. 3 the ...read more

    We’re going to look at James’ outrageous proposal, why Christians - above all others - are destined for trials, and how Christians should respond differently to them than other people.

    COUNT IT ALL JOY James 1:1-4 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: EVOLUTION JOKE 1.

    Good Friday 2014

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Apr 24, 2014
     | 4,805 views

    This is a hybrid between a sermon, a remembrance of the night before Jesus died and a mini drama. It mostly consists of walking through the events of that day in order to never forget why Jesus said, "Do this in remembrance of Me."

    (This is not a word-for-word manuscript except for the "readings". The pastor or leader is expected to elaborate on different points as the Lord moves him or her to do so. God bless you.)

    The truth is, that how we live, matters to God! Christians are to keep in step with the Spirit and to walk in obedience to God's revealed will - but what's our motivation for doing so? Is it Law or is it Love? And why does it matter?

     | 7,517 views

    Jesus delivered a sermon to his own people. They did not like it. Why? This sermon affects us, and shows us that we are God’s voice here on this earth to spread his Gospel.

    This sermon was delivered to St Oswald’s in Maybole, Ayrshire, Scotland on the 31st January 2016; St Oswalds is a Scottish Episcopal Church in the Dioceses of Glasgow and Dumfries. Jeremiah 1:4-10 1 Corinthians 13:1-13 Luke 4:21-30 Psalm 71:1-6 “Please be seated, and join me in a ...read more
