    We should worship with JOY, and our worship should have an impact on our lives.

    Two young boys were walking down the street in downtown Atlanta when out from an alley a Pit Bull suddenly appeared and attacked one of the boys. The other boy grabbed a 2x4 lying near the alley and beat the dog to death and saved his friend’s life. A reporter from the Atlanta Journal and ...read more

    A sermon on the Transfiguration - with an answer as to why people sit on the back row in churches.

    Look at where most of you are sitting. The back row of the church is the most popular seat in the sanctuary. The person who sits close to the front is either very brave – or is the wife of the Senior Pastor. I like to go to sporting events, and I don’t ever remember going to any event ...read more

    When will the war end?

    When will the war end? We are fighting a war in Iraq that began on March 20, 2003. One month before that, the Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld said “It is unknowable how long that conflict will last. It could last 6 days, 6 weeks. I doubt six months.” (USA Today, April 1, 2003, “Prewar ...read more

    S I N -- it is a word we don’t like to use anymore in our churches.

    The “S” Word There is a three letter word that we don’t like to say in churches. The rest of the world uses this word all the time, but we don’t. It makes Christians feel uncomfortable. It makes us feel dirty. Maybe ashamed. Or embarrassed. The word is S – I – N. Sin! Yep, some of you ...read more

    In the vast universe, we may feel like nothing. Good -- we are insignificant! The wonder is that God still loves us!

    There is a sad view in the world today that science and theology do not mix. Like oil and water, or cats and dogs, science and religion just don’t go together. That’s ridiculous. That’s absurd. I want to encourage our young people to take their science classes in school seriously – ...read more

    A Thanksgiving sermon with a stewardship message.

    (The pastor holds a bag of rice throughout the service, and when he goes to the pulpit, very obviously carries the rice, and a pot, with measuring cup, to the pulpit with him (make the measuring cup 1/8th cup) I bet you think I’m going to explain this pot of rice on the pulpit. Well, maybe ...read more

    The Compelling Love Of God

    based on 7 ratings
     | 14,406 views

    Does God’s love make any difference in our lives and in the way we live? It should. Do we just love a little, or are we dedicated and committed to loving others as God loves us?

    Fred Craddock is a great preacher and a great story-teller, and one of the stories I’ve heard him tell had to do with a trip in which he and his wife went back to their native Tennessee. They drove up to a small restaurant in Gatlinburg. They were tired and hungry and still had miles to drive ...read more

    Living A Life Worthy Of Christ

    Contributed by W Pittendreigh on Oct 21, 2006
    based on 10 ratings
     | 11,577 views

    We cannot be worthy of Christ’s love and sacrifice, but the Bible DOES encourage us to WALK IN A MANNER WORTHY of Christ. We walk on two legs -- education of God’s Word, and action for God.

    In this, the opening verses of his letter, Paul praises the Colossians for the good that is in their church, and by encouraging them in verse 10 to “live a life worthy of Christ.” “Live a life worthy of Christ…” -- Easier said than done.

    If we want to be the greatest disciple, greatness will not be found as the world defines it, but in servanthood and in embracing the least of God’s children.

    Sports fans will know that Muhammad Ali today is called the greatest. Ali himself used to tell everyone “I am the greatest,” but not everyone agreed, especially when he was younger. He became the greatest in the eyes of the world over the last 40 years. Muhammad Ali ...read more

    Not long ago someone was telling me about a trip he had made to the Bahamas.

    based on 39 ratings
     | 5,341 views

    Why do we have "Holy Communion?" This is a sermon in the Reformed tradition that answers that in three ways -- Obedience, Remembrance and Enlightenment (or nurture).

    In a little while we will participate in the Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper. Holy Communion. The Eucharist. On one level, this meal might seem like a reminder of some of the snacks we’ve had elsewhere -- like the cookie and juice we were given by our first grade teacher and like the bag of ...read more

    There comes a time to make commitments -- are you ready to make one?

    In the Old Testament book of Proverbs, in chapter 30, there is a wonderful verse.

     | 3,262 views

    Is there really evil in the world? Are we ready to resist evil?

    Some questions are hard to answer. And they should be hard. As a minister I stand before a bride and groom and ask, “Do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold from this day forth, as long as you both shall live?” Then I ask the groom a similar question. There ...read more

    Be Quiet, Be Still And Behave

    Contributed by W Pittendreigh on Aug 14, 2006
    based on 88 ratings
     | 25,265 views

    Being quiet and still drives us nuts! But we are told in Scripture to seek God in the stillness -- not in the noise and busy-ness of life.

    If there is one thing that drives us almost insane, If there is one thing that we cannot stand, If there is one thing that makes us uncomfortable it’s... (The sermon begins with the pastor standing in the pulpit, and simply standing for a full minute, doing nothing but waiting, seeming to be ...read more
