    A Blue Christmas Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Dec 13, 2009
    based on 66 ratings
     | 34,589 views

    What happens when Christmas doesn’t go according to plan? How do we handle it when circumstances rob us of the joy of the season? How do we respond to a "blue Christmas?"

    OPEN: John Simmons tells about a grade school class that was putting on a Christmas play which included the story of Mary and Joseph coming to the inn. In that class was one little boy who wanted so very much to be Joseph. But when the parts were handed out, his biggest rival was given that part, ...read more

    Reviving A People For The Lord

    As we enter late winter and early spring, many assemblies are preparing for their ‘Gospel Meeting’ or ‘Revival’. Advertisements for their dates, time and place are sent out. From past knowledge, how successful were these meetings? Can improvement be made to increase its efficiency?

    As we enter late winter and early spring, many assemblies are preparing for their ‘Gospel Meeting’; as some may say, ‘Revival’. Advertisements for their dates, time and place are sent out. From past knowledge, how successful were these meetings? Some people come away saying their meeting did not ...read more

    A lesson to be learned from typing the wrong e-mail address! A couple from Minneapolis decided to go to Florida to thaw out during one particularly icy winter. They planned to stay at the very same hotel where they spent their honeymoon 20 years earlier.

    As Christians we still experience difficult seasons… …trials and hardships. There is winter as well as spring. But God causes even those times to have purpose. We soon learn that “in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have bee

    A NEW Beginning Genesis 1:1&2 1In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

    When God Hides

     | 14,800 views

    We all have times of dryness in our relationship with God, and it could be for a variety of reasons. But sometimes it's because we harbor unconfessed sin our life. Isaiah gives us a path forward, a way to renew our relationship with the Lord.

    Isaiah 64:1-9 When God Hides Have you ever had a winter season of faith? You pray, but your prayers seem to bounce off the ceiling? You wonder if you really know God, or if God knows you? Philip Yancey, in his book, “Reaching for the Invisible God,” writes: “I experienced the sense of abandonment ...read more

    Leave The Old Series

    Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Nov 27, 2018
     | 5,370 views

    Just as fall turns to winter we can Leave the Old behind. But in order to do this we must: 1) Forsake our Former life (Galatians 4:8), 2) Understand our Present Life (Galatians 4:9) and 3) Live for our Future Life (Galatians 4:10-11)

    As we come to the final season of the year, it tends to be a time of extremes. We are called to more events, to buy more and decorate more than the rest of the year combined. People will also go to personal extremes. Those who have been able to control spending, drinking and personal habits, ...read more

    Witness

    based on 288 ratings
     | 17,180 views

    Christians are witnesses of the light who have seen something, have something to say, and who have a dangerous but rewarding job.

    “Witness” By Mark Winter Text: John 1:1-9 Have you ever read a scripture so thoroughly that you believe there’s nothing else to wring out of it? That’s what I thought with John’s Prologue, when suddenly verse 8 leapt out: “He himself was not the light (meaning John the Baptist); he came only as a ...read more

    It's Not What I Wanted

    Contributed by Mark Winter on Nov 25, 2000
    based on 85 ratings
     | 3,764 views

    Nobody wants the gift of adversity under the Christmas tree--but sometimes we get it, anyway. Question is, what do we do when we get it?

    Some of you may be wondering if the preacher is one episode shy of a mini-series by preaching from Job during the Christmas season. What does a suffering man have to do with the season of good cheer? Plenty. There’s a dark side to Christmas that most of us don’t like to admit. I knew a man who ...read more

    The Wise Men's Greatest Act

    Contributed by Mark Winter on Nov 29, 2000
    based on 290 ratings
     | 15,437 views

    Worship was the Wise Men’s greatest act

    What was the wise men’s greatest act? Was it their diligent study of the heavens, which resulted in the discovery of the Christmas Star? The Wise Men, also known as the Magi, were probably not kings, but a priestly band of scholars and stargazers. We don’t know what brilliant star these Magi saw. ...read more

    God has sent a Valentine’s card to you, postmarked with the blood of his precious Son.

    It’s a small town – one of those kind of towns people make jokes about. You’ve heard ‘em – “that town is so small that when you dial the wrong number, the person on the other end gives you the right number.” "It’s so small that there’s no place to go that you shouldn’t." "It’s so small that Third ...read more

    The All-The-Way Plunge

    based on 86 ratings
     | 3,191 views

    The waters of commitment call us to take a plunge, but will we let fear take over?

    My younger son, Sam, loves to swim. I remember the days when he took his first swimming lessons. Like most kids, he loved the water and just dived right in. Some swimmers are like that – plungers. How many of you like to plunge right in? How many of you like to take your time getting into the ...read more

    Three Parades

    Contributed by Mark Winter on Mar 14, 2001
    based on 169 ratings
     | 6,149 views

    The parade that wound into Jerusalem on that long ago Sunday was exciting -- but it can’t hold a candle to the parade that took place on Friday.

    The parade route begins near the twin towns of Bethpage and Bethany, less than two miles from Jerusalem and winds into the Holy City. The Grand Marshal is an unlikely hero – a rustic from a blue-collar town up north, the son of a woodworker. In keeping with his “common man” image, he decides to ...read more

     | 12,019 views

    A prophetic call to conduct God’s justice

    He was the prophet in overalls, a farmer who wore clodhoppers on his feet, calluses on his hands, and righteous anger in his heart. Amos was his name. He hailed from a dusty little town called Tekoa, about 6 miles southeast of Bethlehem, perched on the edge of the Judean badlands. Amos was a ...read more

    Meeting God Down A Rabbit Trail Series

    based on 35 ratings
     | 10,260 views

    God stands at the end of our rabbit trails when we have exhausted all human options

    You’ve probably heard the phrase, “going down a rabbit trail.” Wild rabbits don’t like to saunter down Main Street; they prefer bolting down trails leading deep into the woods. (By the way, jackrabbits are capable of speeds up to 40 mph to evade predators). To go down a “rabbit trail,” then, means ...read more

    God is a jilted spouse with a persistent love for an unfaithful partner--us.

    She was a floozy, the kind of girl your mother warned you about and your dad might take a sneak peek at. She wore purple eye shadow, thick mascara and lipstick so red that hummingbirds buzzed around her. Her dresses were always a size or two smaller than they should have been, and her walk was more ...read more
