     | 487 views

    Heaven will come down and God will dwell with us forever. What can that mean to us, and what hope can we gain from that truth?

    OPEN: A four-year-old boy asked his mother, “Mommy, when do I get to go to Heaven?” She responded, “Well, when you die or when Jesus comes back again.” The boy’s eyes got really big and he said, “Comes back? You mean He was here before?” (Celeste Gregg, California, Christianity.com 7/22/09) ...read more

    This Christmas Eve meditation focuses on the fact that people in our world walk in darkness, but Jesus came to be the light of anyone who would take Him as their Savior.

    THE SETTING: The sanctuary is in complete darkness, and in that darkness I stand at the pulpit with a candle and lighter in my hands) OPEN: Prophesying about the coming Messiah, Isaiah wrote (about 700 years before Jesus was born in Bethlehem) “Those who walked in darkness have seen a great ...read more

    Why was the fact that Jesus was born of a virgin so central to the Gospel message, and what can it mean to our faith?

    In England, an elementary class set up the manger scene in a corner of the room. The students were excited to help set up the barn and cover the floor with straw and then arrange the clay figures of Mary, Joseph, the shepherds, the Wise Men, and the animals –all facing a little crib where was ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 855 views

    Jesus was born to be called "Immanuel" - to be "God with us". What was it about the Temple that made it a symbol of how Christ intended to be "with us" as Christians?

    There was a priest who served in large city, and one cold day in December he discovered that the baby Jesus - that had been his church’s manger had been stolen. He reported it to the police and he explained to them “We’ve just got to find that baby. He’s the only Jesus these people have ever ...read more

    Jesus was Immanuel - "God with us". The tabernacle was built to assure Israel that "God was in their midst." What can this promise God made to Israel mean to us, and why should it matter?

    The Israelites had just left their slavery in Egypt, and they’d been in the desert for about a month, and had met their God at the base of a mountain called Sinai. (that’s the setting of our text today) Someone once estimated that the nation of Israel (as they were at Mt. Sinai) numbered ...read more

    And He Walks With Me Series

    based on 3 ratings
     | 1,504 views

    Many theologians and preachers ignore the fact that God created us because He wanted to be with us. God is LOOKING for someone to walk and talk with. Are you that person God is looking for?

    When Jesus was about to be born to Mary, an angel appeared to Joseph and said “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel” (which means, God with us). Matthew 1:23 GOD WITH US! Over the next few weeks, we’re going to be looking at God’s desire to ...read more

     | 687 views

    Once a year we have a "Unity Service" where we celebrate the fact that we are one church with several different languages that meet in our building. This sermon focused on us being ONE family with ONE God.

    Someone once said that the Assyrians, Babylonians, Phoenicians, Egyptians, Persians, Greeks, and Romans had their many gods—They had gods of war, gods of industry, gods of agriculture, gods of cities, gods of towns, and many others. But in all of their galaxy of gods, there never was one called ...read more

     | 916 views

    Ephesians tells me I should imitate God... but how can I do that, and what would it look like when I did?

    A city girl visited a farm one day and saw some farm animals out in the field. She asked the farmer: “Mister, why doesn’t that cow have any horns?” The farmer thought about that for a moment, and then he said “Well, cattle can do a powerful lot of damage with horns.

    Tell Me The Story Of Jesus Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Nov 7, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 1,857 views

    How do we tell others the story of Jesus? In our text today we see that it doesn’t require a Bible college education or a deep theological argument. Instead, it’s all about saying “Come and See Jesus”.

    (Sermon began with a group of people standing on a sidewalk looking upward) Back when I was a boy, there was a TV show that always began with this group of people on a sidewalk - pointing and looking up in the sky. Does anyone know what TV show this was? (SUPERMAN) “Look! Up in the sky…. It’s a ...read more

    Time On Loan Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Oct 24, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,415 views

    Christians often compartmentalize their use of time into "MY" time and "GOD'S" time. But is that the best way to think of the time we've been given in our lives?

    It used to be – if you wanted to know what time it was you might look up at the sun and say “Well, it looks like it’s about 12:30” and everybody’d be happy with that. But not anymore: In Washington D.C. - on the grounds of the U.S. Naval Observatory - there’s a concrete building that houses ...read more

    What is heaven like, and why would I want to go there?

    A young boy would often go home from his friend’s house at night and - because it was the shortest route – he’d always walk thru the cemetery. When he was asked if he was ever afraid of going thru the graveyard at night he responded “No. My home is just on the other side.” He wasn’t afraid ...read more

     | 2,910 views

    God places a great deal of emphasis on us growing in our faith and bearing fruit. But why? What difference would it make if we did?

    OPEN: There’s a story about a little boy who had a special hiding place in the back yard. It was an old fruit tree. It had lots of leaves, but it hadn’t produced fruit in years, but the little boy didn’t care. He’d climb up in those branches, and hide amongst the leaves, and for hours he’d pretend ...read more

    God calls us to be pure, but is that possible?

    The Bible passage we just read is the verse that our older youth uses to identify themselves. They call themselves the 412 Youth Group (because of I Timothy 4:12) and essentially, they use that verse to declare that they want to be used by God, and they don’t want their AGE to get in the way of ...read more
