    Thy Will Be Done Series

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Jun 9, 2018
     | 5,257 views

    When we pray, "Thy will be done," we are committing ourselves to desire, discover, and do the will of God with grateful hearts.

    Warren Wiersbe says that, from time to time, he has counseled with people who were actually afraid of the will of God. They were terrified at the thought of surrendering themselves completely to him. The idea disturbed them because they had concluded that the will of God was something painful and ...read more

    Jealous For The Name

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on May 29, 2018
     | 2,495 views

    Jesus teaches to long for the name of God to be held in esteem.

    I THINK I MUST HAVE BEEN in the fourth or fifth grade, and I’d come into the proud ownership of a brand new baseball. I mean, it was the real deal. The core was firm, the skin was tight, the threads were prominent and taut. It even had the word “Official” on it. It was a gem. So I got up a game ...read more

    The Sun, The Moon, And The Stars

    We are to be a light shining in a dark place.

    WHEN OUR DAUGHTER was in Junior High, she became friends with some girls who lived in a little town about an hour’s drive from here. On occasion, these girls would invite her to an activity at their church or their school or even ask her to come to their house. So, I would drive her there, come ...read more

    A Mother's Legacy

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on May 11, 2018
     | 9,623 views

    God placed your mom in your life to guide you to Him.

    I was probably about thirteen or fourteen when I began work on my cooking merit badge. I was in Scouts, and one of the ways you advance is by earning merit badges. So, I set out to get my cooking merit badge. Now, when I worked on my hiking merit badge or my camping skills—that sort of thing—it ...read more

    Beyond Our Strength Series

     | 8,360 views

    When you undergo afflictions, go over your convictions.

    JOSEPH BAYLY ONCE SAID, “Never doubt in the dark what you learned in the light.” But we do, don’t we? When we go through times of trial, we lose sight of what we believe. We have a tendency to see only the bad our afflictions. For example, when the heat’s on, we may assume ...read more

    Soil Samples

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Jun 2, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,279 views

    There’s a condition of the heart that is necessary if the Word of God is to have a lasting effect on any of us.

    This little parable of Jesus got me thinking about taking soil samples. You know, with all its talk about different kinds of soil. So, what I did is: I logged on to YouTube and did a search. And, sure enough, there was a video on how to do it, how to take a soil sample. As you might guess, as ...read more

    The Word On The Street

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Jun 2, 2015
     | 5,045 views

    Our true vocation in life is to bear witness to the light, to reflect the glory of God, to mirror His majesty, to glorify Him.

    Jesus is called many things in Scripture. In the Gospel of John alone, he is called the Lamb of God, the light of the world, the bread of life, the gate of the sheep. He is even called a Vine. But here in chapter 1 he is called “the Word.” And there’s a reason for that. In Jesus, ...read more

    The Gift

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Jun 1, 2015
     | 5,757 views

    What God gives in love, we receive by faith, so that we may live in hope.

    ONE OF THE PROBLEMS with religion is: You can believe all the right things – that is, you can be orthodox in your faith – but it can be a dead orthodoxy. You know what I mean? It can appear lifeless, certainly not vital and contagious. Same thing with our conduct. We may behave ...read more

    A Winsome Church

    based on 1 rating
     | 7,195 views

    A winsome church does God's work God's way for the sake of God's world.

    THE WALL STREET JOURNAL recently published a report indicating that “the U.S. now has a bigger share of people who don’t identify with any religion than those who do. In the last seven years, the number of people unaffiliated with either Roman Catholic or mainline Protestant churches ...read more

    Never Forgotten

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on May 11, 2015
     | 11,659 views

    As a mother never forgets her child, so our Father never forgets His children.

    WHEN I WAS A KID – I mean, a really little kid – my mother had to ride a bus to work every day. But first, she had to drop me off at the sitter’s, which means that I rode on the bus part of the way with her. It was always early in the morning. Ordinarily, the sun wasn’t ...read more

    The Nike Factor

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Apr 28, 2015
     | 4,457 views

    In all his obedience Jesus was standing in for us, doing for us what we could never do for ourselves.

    “Just do it.” That’s the way Nike hopes to motivate us to “get back to sport,” as they put it, to get back in the game. “Just do it,” they tell us, and, of course, they also tell us: the best way to “do it” is to use their shoes and their gear. ...read more

    Location. Location. Location.

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Apr 28, 2015
     | 4,378 views

    Each of us is either “in Adam” or “in Christ.” That is why I have called my sermon Location. Location. Location. Where you are – what your location is – makes all the difference in the world, and, more than that, it makes all the difference in eternity.

    James Montgomery Boice says that this is “possibly the most difficult [passage] in the Bible.” Great! Right? One thing’s for sure: Paul’s argument in these verses is dense and tight. One commentator begins by defining some of the terms in the text in hopes that that will ...read more

    Jesus' sheep know their Shepherd's voice, and they are safe.

    WHEN I WAS A KID, I loved to go to my grandmother’s house. One of the things I remember about that house was a picture on the wall over the bed where I slept. It was a picture of Jesus. There’s a good chance you’ve seen it, or one like it. It shows the full stature of our Lord. ...read more

    Idol Thoughts

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Apr 23, 2015
     | 3,167 views

    Let us determine to know God and to worship him, not as some idol devised by our own natural preferences, not as many people configure him to be, but as “the book of nature” and the Holy Book together reveal him to be.

    The two passages before us today [Acts 17:22-31 and John 14:15-21] could not be more different from one another. And yet, in some ways, they could not be more similar. In the first one, the one from Acts, we have the Apostle Paul speaking to a group of Gentile skeptics who know nothing of the ...read more

    Hurting People

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Apr 23, 2015
     | 6,395 views

    Whether you have been hurt or have hurt someone else, you seek reconciliation for the glory of God.

    In Paul’s brief correspondence with the Philippians, as he drew his letter to a close, he mentioned an issue of some importance in his mind. There were two women in the church – dear women, women who had “labored side by side” with Paul in the gospel, women “whose ...read more
