Experiencing The Prayer Of Jesus Series

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Sep 16, 2004

Jesus teaches us the right attitudes as we approach God in prayer. (1) Let His concerns be our concerns, (2) treasure our connections to the Father, (3)acknowledge His ways, and (4) acknowledge His worth.

INTRODUCTION · By now many should have seen Passion of the Christ. For me, the most impressionable scene was the praying Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane. · I’ve not come to see a person prays with such intensity. Have I ever prayed that way? Maybe when one of my loved one is dying away... · It ...read more

What Is Faith

Contributed by Christopher Howitz on Dec 13, 2008

A call to copy the faith of our team-mates in the cross-country relay race of life... looking to God and trusting Him through the mud and the pain... because we have another city and different treasure... a prize that is worth the struggle.

Intro… The title I’ve got for you today is, “What is faith?” Hopefully by the end of what I’ve got to say, we’ll not only know what faith is, but we will be able to live it. And to help us along the road we’re going to have assistance from two old pros who we’re going to meet shortly. Hebrews… The ...read more

Contributed by Warren Lamb on Jul 27, 2008

Every had your position, your authority, your intelligence, or your worth challenged? How did you handle it? Did you see it as a “teachable moment”? Or was your reaction a bit more carnal than that?

It's Not Over Until It's Over

Contributed by James May on Jul 31, 2005

Let us not get our focus drawn to the things of this world and let them keep us from remembering that there is a Day of Judgment coming. Prosperity in this life isn’t worth losing the promise of Heaven in the eternity that lies ahead.

It’s Not Over Until It’s Over By Pastor Jim May I received an email this week from a young man who realized that so much of the “gospel messages” that we hear today are not gospel at all. He has come to a realization that the messages preached by most TV and radio evangelists are no longer a ...read more

Go Tell It On Mt. Sinai Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Dec 6, 2003

Being a Christian is not a negative thing, nothing but thou shalt nots; it is first of all a relationship with God, but marred by fear. So God gives us boundaries to receive as a gift, not a burden. That’s good news worth telling.

The instant some people hear anything about Christianity they begin to conjure up negatives. For too many being a Christian is defined by what they are not allowed to do. “I don’t drink and I don’t chew and I don’t go with girls who do.” For too much of the world, being a Christian is a joyless, ...read more

Rising Or Rejecting? Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Mar 21, 2009

The man at the pool of Bethsaida had lost his will to achieve, and blamed others. Jesus, however, gave Him his self-worth as well as his health. Do not blame prejudice or racism for failure; turn to Jesus and be healed and motivated.

The day dawned like any other day ... a little chillier, maybe, than you might have expected this time of year. But still, about as gray and bleak and unpromising as any other day. After all, every day was about like every other day. What reason did he have to expect anything different? For 38 ...read more

Just Want To Bless Somebody

Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Aug 15, 2016

I think we often struggle today with service because we think it has to be some great act. If it’s not some great, newsworthy deed, we don’t think it is worth the effort.

TITLE: JUST WANT TO BLESS SOMEBODY SCRIPTURE: II KINGS 4:8-17 I guess I have entered the stage in my life where I am beginning to focus more upon the mark I will leave on this world. I am beginning to focus upon “WILL ANYONE CARE OR REMEMBER” when it’s my time to leave this ...read more

What Do I Stand For?

Contributed by Michael J Mcinally Jr. on Aug 21, 2015

We all stand for different things in our lives either physically or personally. Stephen took a stand for Jesus and died for it. So what do you stand for? Is it worth dying for? Then start living for it today

What do I Stand for? Today I want to talk about a concept, that affects all of us, but dependent on your background and/or how you were raised or what you were taught growing up you may have one view or another. Now this particular question can have several answers depending on that view. So if ...read more

Contributed by Revd. Martin Dale on Mar 16, 2013

What gives me self worth? i) Are you important because of the accident of your birth? ii) Are you important because of what you have achieved? iii) Or are you who you are because you know Christ?

SERMON Story: A Quaker once posted a sign on one of the choicest fields of his farm. It stated, "This land will be given to the first truly satisfied person who passes this way" . No sooner had he arrived back at his house than a man knocked at his door. “Sir," he said, "I just saw your sign ...read more

The Scientific Brilliance Of Genesis 1: A Second Helping

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jan 22, 2022

One of the first sermons I wrote and posted for this site dealt with the scientific brilliance found in the first chapter of Genesis. There are other scientific standards found in this opening chapter of the inerrant and all-sufficient Word of God, and they are worth exploring and affirming.

When I read the first chapter of Genesis, I do not see the development of an ancient myth or legend. I do not see the fruit of an overactive imagination of an anonymous sage trying to explain to his "backward" clan or tribe of how they came to be. I do not see any collection of ...read more

The Majesty Of Man Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 5, 2021

Man is the only creature God ever made that was worth the cross. The price which is paid for anything determines its value. This means that man is the highest valued part of the universe, for God paid the highest possible price for his recovery.

King Louis XIV of France was once reminded by the chaplain of his court that he was a sinner and in danger of damnation. He shrugged his shoulders and said, "All true, no doubt, but the good God will think twice before He casts out so good of Prince as I am." Here was a man of pride ...read more

Building Community - Value One Another Series

Contributed by Alan Perkins on Apr 1, 2001

As we gain a right understanding of how much worth and value each person has, as we come to see each other the way God sees us, then we will gain an appreciation for one another that will strengthen love and build community.

This is the fifth and last message in our series on Building Community. In a society that is becoming increasingly fragmented, in which people seem more and more separated from one another, the church can be a refuge. More than a building, more than a Sunday morning meeting, more than an ...read more
