    Race To The Tomb

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Mar 31, 2010
    based on 6 ratings
     | 7,184 views

    All of us are running in this world. Some are running to God, some trying to run away from Him. How far will they go? We should be running in a spiritual way. All our focus needs to be on the tomb where Jesus rose to new life and will take us with him to

    Opening illustration: I think of Eric Liddell. The movie Chariots of Fire depicts how his sister Jenny tried to persuade Eric to give up his running, and go to China with her to be a missionary. He said, "No, God has made me fast and called me to run." It would have been wrong at that point to be a ...read more

    David cannot seem to get his mind wrapped around all of this injustice. But I want you to notice our text this morning. In verse 17 there is a big shift of focus. How does this shift come to be? David begins to realize that even though it seems as tho

    Title: In His Presence Text: Psalm 73:1-17 I find our text very peculiar. David starts out this Psalm by getting his eyes on all the wicked in the world. Let’s pick out the highlights of this text: Verse 2, David starts out this Psalm feeling sorry for himself. “I know God is ...read more

    An Involved Community Series

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Aug 13, 2001
    based on 26 ratings
     | 6,156 views

    If we live by the Spirit, it wil change how we live as part of the community of God’s people. We’ll care for one another, care for God’s ministers, never weary in doing good, and keep our focus clear.

    Since we live by the Spirit, let us also be guided by the Spirit. That’s Paul’s summary statement at the end of ch 5. We’ve spent all this time talking about how our salvation comes through the grace of God alone, how it’s faith alone that’s needed for us to be right with God, how nothing we can do ...read more

    As we approach the book of Ecclesiastes, we get a profound glimpse into the later years of the life of Solomon, King of Israel, and gifted by God with intelligence far beyond his contemporaries. Yet, as Solomon aged, his focus changed, he was drawn away

    His Resurrection Series

    based on 645 ratings
     | 211,549 views

    The Resurrection is either one of the most wicked, heartless, vicious hoaxes ever or it is the most fantastic fact of history. As Paul said in 1 Corinthians 5:17, “If Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless.” This message will focus on three

    The Case For Christ: His Resurrection Rev. Brian Bill 4/15/01 I have a confession to make this morning -- I am an Information Junkie.

    Contributed by Bill Sullivan on Apr 10, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,321 views

    It’s important to focus on the blood of Jesus, but why? We’re supposed to remember why it was necessary. Why did it have to happen? What did it accomplish? And how do we fit into this picture as individuals, 2,000 years later.

    Nothing But the Blood of Jesus TCF Maundy Thursday Sermon March 20, 2008 Luke 22:14-20 (NIV) 14 When the hour came, Jesus and his apostles reclined at the table. 15 And he said to them, "I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. 16 For I tell you, I will not eat it ...read more

    Happy Father’s Day. Sometimes our kids do drive us crazy, but if we keep our focus as dads, the day will come when we will launch them out into the world. Let’s give them a good shot!

    I want to shoot my kids!!! Bring arrows Introduction In honor of Father’s day today I would like to take a look at Psalm 127:1-5 So if I am reading this correctly as fathers we should all want to “Shoot our children!!!” Now I know that can be understood several different ways and I don’t want to ...read more

    A Better Place Than Heaven

    Contributed by John Gaston on May 30, 2013
    based on 9 ratings
     | 8,781 views

    Many Christians are more anxious to go to heaven than to remain here and work. Heaven is wonderful, but the Bible reveals why the Earth is still the focus of heaven's attention, and why most heavenly saints still probably wish they were down here!

    A BETTER PLACE THAN HEAVEN 1 Jn. 2:28 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Tom and Matt were best of friends, they played football once a week for 50 years. 2. When they were getting older, they had an argument about whether people play football in heaven. So they agreed that whoever died first would let ...read more
