    Racing Is Life

    Contributed by Lynn Malone on Aug 9, 2016
     | 5,272 views

    The Bible uses many sports related images. In this classic text, the writer to the Hebrews explores the image of a race to reflect upon the nature of a disciple's life.

    I am a sports fan, and the big news for me most recently is that the New Orleans Saints opened training camp on July 28th, about ten days ago, and they’re first pre-season game is only a mere thirteen days away. Not only that, but I know the local high schools are gearing up for the new ...read more

     | 13,111 views

    The relationship of Ruth and Naomi show us a glowing example of covenant love.

    For the past four weeks, we’ve been putting women in their place! Over these four weeks we’ve discovered Sarah’s faithfulness. Natalie Johnson showed us how God used an unnamed Samaritan woman to become a powerful example of evangelism, and last week we saw how Mary of Bethany ...read more

    A Mary's Story Series

    Contributed by Lynn Malone on Jul 25, 2016
    based on 1 rating
     | 11,504 views

    Mary of Bethany displays the extravagant nature of worship as she anoints Jesus, and in so doing gives us all the model of the life of a disciple.

    Mary is a popular biblical name. As a matter of fact, it was the single most popular name in first century Palestinian culture. One in every five girls born carried the name Mary. Wow! 20% of the women named Mary! Contrast that to the Social Security Administration’s latest “most ...read more

    Sarah's Story Series

    Contributed by Lynn Malone on Jul 25, 2016
     | 7,984 views

    The matriarch of the Hebrew family has much to teach the Christian disciple concerning faith. This sermon explores the power of faith lived out in this woman's life.

    Let’s see…a guy preaching on putting women in their place. What could possibly go wrong? Wait! Don’t answer that question. I already know the answer. We talk about putting women in their place, and our minds, unfortunately, return to a less pleasant time in history. Culture even ...read more

     | 11,085 views

    The prophet Elijah passed his mantle to Elisha. We are, as disciples, called to leave a legacy for those who come after us. What legacy are we leaving?

    What an amazing story we read as we conclude The Elijah Chronicles. We’ve followed our hero through great and challenging times and some even greater miracles. We’ve also reflected on a time that life got the best of him. Through it all, by God’s grace, Elijah was able to overcome ...read more

    A Chronicle Of Despair Series

    Contributed by Lynn Malone on Jul 25, 2016
     | 5,836 views

    Even godly people struggle with bouts of despair and depression. Take a look at Elijah's life and find biblical ways to deal with these issues.

    What a strange turn of events in the life of our hero we read in 1 Kings 19. Why would this man of God be so despondent that he hoped to die? Let’s recount the circumstances that brought Elijah to this point as we explore a chronicle of despair. First, Elijah had stood boldly before King Ahab ...read more

    A Chronicle Of Courage Series

    Contributed by Lynn Malone on Jul 25, 2016
     | 6,780 views

    It takes courage to move in the will of God. Elijah's faith brought the courage necessary to face the evil of his day. We learns lessons for our own day from Elijah's experience with King Ahab.

    When last we encountered our hero, Elijah, he was performing miracles for a widow and her son in Zarephath. Here’s an interesting note I need to make as we begin because today we’ll see another miracle Elijah performs. There are basically three clusters of miracles in the bible. ...read more

    A Chronicle Of Faith Series

    Contributed by Lynn Malone on May 30, 2016
     | 7,770 views

    This sermon explores Elijah's interactions with the widow of Zarephath, and we learn that God never abandons us, faith requires obedience, and to receive a blessing I must be a blessing. Faith was the key to Elijah's ministry.

    Hebrews 11 has been called God’s “Hall of Faith.” Like the Hall of Fame in sports or other arenas of life, Hebrews 11 gives us the names and tells us, if ever so briefly, what God’s people accomplished “by faith.” We hear such profound accomplishments ...read more

    Jailhouse Transformations Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 10,061 views

    A jailer's life was transformed through an encounter with Paul and Silas who remained faithful to Christ even while in a Philippian prison.

    We are all familiar with the concept of “jailhouse transformations,” that phenomenon associated with a prisoner whose life is “miraculously” transformed, but only after they get to prison. We recall the “jailhouse” transformation of the likes of Ted Bundy and ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 11,945 views

    Paul/Saul was a righteous man, but not until he encountered Jesus on the road to Damascus was his life forever changed. This message deals with Paul's transforming encounter with Jesus Christ.

    Perhaps the greatest transformation story in the Bible, perhaps the greatest transformation story in all Christian history is the transformation of a man named Saul into the Apostle named Paul. Perhaps there is no more well-known story of transformation in the Bible than this one. A commentator in ...read more

    Transformation: Possible--The Transformation Of Zacchaeus Series

    Contributed by Lynn Malone on Apr 26, 2016
     | 9,443 views

    This sermon reflects on the transformation of Zacchaeus from taker to giver, from greedy to generosity and seeks to discover how we might apply that same transformation to our lives.

    Okay. We can’t read Zacchaeus without doing some short jokes, right? Why do short people get mad so easily? Because they have short tempers! Unfortunately, I crashed into the back of a car at the lights today. A really short guy got out of the car and said, “I’m not ...read more

    Contributed by Lynn Malone on Apr 26, 2016
     | 5,798 views

    Jesus' encounter with the Gerasene demoniac is a terrifying scene. This sermon applies the circumstances of the demoniac's transformation to contemporary individuals and even groups.

    We began the message series last week with a look at the Apostle Peter’s transformation from failure to faith. I used the line “transformation can be a terrifying thing,” because in one transformative moment, Peter went from faith to failure while walking on the water. In a ...read more

    Transformation Possible: The Transformation Of Peter Series

    Contributed by Lynn Malone on Apr 26, 2016
     | 13,169 views

    The Apostle Peter experienced many transformations during his life, but the most profound transformation was from failure to faith. This sermon reflects on Peter's denial of Christ in the courtyard.

    Let’s talk about transformation. Merrian-Webster defines transformation as “a complete or major change in someone's or something's appearance, form, etc.” Transformation is at the heart of our Christian faith, isn’t it? Don’t we believe that Jesus Christ came into ...read more

    The church celebrates its mission every time it gathers for worship, especially on Sunday, and especially on Easter Sunday. This Easter sermons reflects on the mystery that is the central celebration of the Church--the resurrection.

    When I was a little boy, my grandmother had a large conch shell. I don’t know where that old shell came from. I’m not sure if she ever went to the beach, or if someone brought it to her from their beach trip. What I remember is holding that conch shell up to my ear and being told I ...read more

    Mission: Possible The Culmination Series

    Contributed by Lynn Malone on Mar 20, 2016
    based on 3 ratings
     | 6,488 views

    Heaven is so much more than something to think about when we're old. The mission Christ calls his body to has a reason, an end and a destination. We're working for something and toward something. That something we call heaven.

    This 85 year old couple, having been married almost 60 years, died in a car crash. They had been in good health the last ten years mainly due to her interest in health food, and exercise. When they reached the pearly gates, St. Peter took them to their mansion which was decked out with a beautiful ...read more
