    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,195 views

    This prayer of Abraham seems to be the 1st recorded prayer in Scripture. Why did God preserve it for us, and what can we learn by how Abraham prayed?

    OPEN: In Europe in the Middle Ages, people had a strong belief in the power of prayer. They also believed that the purer and simpler the life you led, the more God would listen to you. And since Monks were supposed to live purer and simpler lives than anyone else their prayers were seen as a ...read more

  • Lazarus: A Dead Man Who Becomes A Picture Of Life

    Contributed by Todd Wagner on May 1, 2013
     | 5,230 views

    Lazarus is a picture of us as believers in Christ.

    You guys have heard me say many times the reason we love to gather in here is because it allows us to remember the greatness of the God we want to serve all week long and how what we're doing right now is a corporate celebration, a corporate encouragement and exhortation, but worship is what we do ...read more

  • Not The Jesus They Wanted Series

     | 11,724 views

    The crowds were looking for a Christ who would "remain" and lead them into glorious earthly kingdom, but Jesus was talking about being "lifted up" and not being with them forever. The Jesus they wanted wasn't the Jesus they were getting.

    I’m told these were actual answers that children gave in Sunday School: “Noah’s wife was called Joan of Ark.” “The epistles were the wives of the apostles.” “Moses got the 10 Commandments at Mt. Cyanide.” “King Solomon had 700 wives and 300 porcupines.” “The men who followed the Lord were called ...read more

  • Heavenly Minded Series

     | 2,693 views

    Why would the angels prompt the followers of Jesus to stop watching the sky for Jesus? Was it wrong for them to want Jesus to return? Or is there something else we need to see here?

    Years ago, a famous Supreme Court Justice named Oliver Wendall Holmes said: “Some people are so heavenly minded, that they are no earthly good.” Now, I’m not exactly sure why he said that, but it has been true in the past. ILLUS: In 1823, there was a Baptist minister by the name of William ...read more

  • He Leadth Me Series

    based on 5 ratings
     | 22,393 views

    The Lord is not "the shepherd" and He's not "a shepherd." David says He's MY shepherd. What does that mean for us?

    (I started the sermon by singing the first verse of “He Leadeth Me” and then asked the congregation to join me in the chorus) “He leadeth me, O blessed thought! O words with heav’nly comfort fraught! Whate’er I do, where’er I be, still ’tis God’s hand that leadeth me.’ (CHORUS) He leadeth me, He ...read more

    Paul warned Timothy to keep a close watch on his life and on THE TEACHING because "in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you." Why is what we teach so critical to the salvation of ourselves and our listeners?

    OPEN: Shortly after I got out of Bible College there was a popular church near Ft. Wayne that attracted thousands of attenders that was called “The Glory Barn” (the building looked like it had been a barn). I went to their worship a couple of times myself just to see what the attraction was, and I ...read more

  • Keeping Good Company Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Feb 10, 2020
    based on 4 ratings
     | 16,160 views

    Why should I be careful of the company I keep? Should I avoid the company of sinners, and mockers and the immoral? And if I do this (avoid sinners) how can I carry the message of Christ to the lost?

    (Poem) “All the water in the world - however hard it tried, could never, never sink a ship… unless it got inside. All the temptations of this world might wear you pretty thin, but they won't hurt you, one least bit... unless you let them in.” (I could not find the author) It’s a repeated ...read more

    based on 6 ratings
     | 13,240 views

    Naaman had two problems - one was leprosy. But the other problem was the one that threatened to prevent him from being cleansed. What was his "other" problem, and what "fixed" both of his problems?

    I read the true story about a man who had gone to the hardware store for supplies he needed for a minor plumbing repair job. As he was leaving, the owner said, “See you in a little while.” “Why?” asked the customer. “Is there something else I need?” “No. You haven’t forgotten anything,” he ...read more

    based on 5 ratings
     | 30,705 views

    Why was God angry at the "rich farmer?" What had this farmer done wrong and what can we learn from his story about the need to being rich toward God?

    OPEN: The year was 1347. The Black Plague was raging across Europe and people by the 100s and by the 1000s in field and cities all across that part of the world. Some began to suspect the deaths were brought about because of the wrath of God and in one of the cities of Germany (Lubeck, Germany) ...read more

  • Boy Are We Different ... The Creation Of Mankind

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Oct 2, 2021
     | 1,957 views

    Are we the product of 13.6 billion years (give or take a few billion) or are we the direct creation of a Creator who made us in His own image? What makes us different from all of the other animals on earth? God knows. And He told us.

    Boy Are We Different … The Creation of Mankind Please stand with me as we go over our current memory Scripture: Matthew 5:9-12 “Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely ...read more

    Peter, James and John catch the biggest haul of fish they'd ever known... and then they just left their nets and boat to follow Jesus. Why would they do that?

    OPEN: Albert Einstein was taking a train to an out of town engagement. The conductor stopped by to punch his ticket, but the scientist – preoccupied with his work, explained that he couldn't find his ticket. He couldn’t find it in his coat pockets, in his briefcase, anywhere!! The ...read more

  • A Matter Of Life And Death Series

    Cage fighting is a particularly gruesome way of fighting, and yet Paul used the fighting of his day (more brutal than MMA) to describe Timothy's responsibilities. What could we possibly learn from MMA that could make us better servants of Christ?

    How many of you know the meaning of these letters used to describe a sporting event: MMA? (Mix Martial Arts). It’s kind of like boxing where the contestants not only hit each other with their fists, but also with their feet and knees and elbows. It’s also called “Cage ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 6,236 views

    The issue of Christian involvement in politics has been one of the most debated and divisive issues not only of our times… but throughout much of history.

    Continuing in series focused on Integrating Spirituality into Everyday Life. We’ve considered spiritual dimensions and dynamics involved with our living spaces… workplace… recreational life… and today… our CITIZENSHIP. Perhaps a less conscious role for many of us… not something that we think ...read more

  • You Can Go To Hell Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jan 21, 2018
    based on 4 ratings
     | 19,598 views

    Jesus said He would build His church. What we read in Acts 4 is how He intended to do it. What do we read there that helps us understand our part in Christ's construction crew?

    There’s the true story of a southern church that had been stressing the importance of witnessing to people. One particularly slow young man in the congregation took the idea to heart, but he wasn’t quite sure how to do it. Then, that Sunday, a skeptic visited the church one Sunday, and the boy ...read more

  • The Bad Judge Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Nov 2, 2014
    based on 25 ratings
     | 27,852 views

    God dedicated 57 verses to a wicked judge who ruled as king in Israel for about 3 years. Why would He do that? Is it possible the story of this evil man has something to us about how we should think as Christians?

    OPEN: In Clay County, Kentucky there was a judge named R. Cletus Maricle. He was one of the rare judges I could find online who had been permanently disbarred. You might ask: “Jeff, why was he disbarred?” I’m glad you asked. R. Cletus Maricle was disbarred because he and 7 other ...read more
