The Amercian Soldier!

Contributed by Bradford Robinson on Sep 15, 2004

This sermon was preached at a service in honor of Todd Cherry, a young member of our church who was being sent to Iraq. It looks at what being a hero and a patriot means.

We throw around the term hero far to often these days. If a man can outrun a defender to score a touchdown, or if a person can slam dunk the ball we call them a hero. If a person can get on the big screen and pretend to do something great, we call them a hero. We have so belittled the term that ...read more

"Philip: Preacher On The Run"

Contributed by Clark Tanner on Oct 25, 2004

Our opportunity for service may be in sight in a moment, and bypass us in another if we’re not ready to run to obedience. Philip ran to do God’s bidding.

It had begun with a very public demonstration of God’s power in the coming of the Holy Spirit, Peter and the others had boldly proclaimed their risen Lord ...read more

Power

When the disciples came down from the upper room, an impossible task loomed before them. They were charged to announce that Jesus ...read more
