1 Corinthians 2:6-16

Sermon

Bill Bouknight

... s a great Scottish sprinter, Eric Liddle, Won an Olympic gold medal. Later he became a Christian missionary in: China, and was martyred there during World War II. Eric once said, "When I run, I feel God's pleasure." God gave Eric Liddle a gift-- skill in running--and he used that gift to glorify God. Whenever you feel God's pleasure, you are probably using one of your gifts of the Spirit. The Bible also speaks of "fruits" of the Spirit. These are qualities that every Christian should model. Just as an apple ...

James Bjorge

God has washed behind your years and you feel clean and content as you slip into the freshly washed sheets for a long winter’s nap. No doubt about it, night ... and a light to my path" (Psalm 119:105). And in the darkest depth that Light is there to enable us to endure and to walk on.

... calendar. He wants the Christmas style to become a life-style. Lots of love, thinking of others, expressing it with gifts, family gatherings, worship celebrations ... that could make quite a full year of real living. People feel good at Christmas time. It is no wonder, for they are doing the things that make for good feeling. Jesus said, "It is more blessed to give than to receive." It works! Walking out of your front door to show love and kindness to a neighbor has always been the path on which you meet ...

And you killed him just the same. CAIN They’re going to chase me ... all seem to be on your side. EVE Do you think so? Do you think I’m being vicious too?

Drama

Jerome W. Nilssen

... . And the fact is that I don’t want it - well, I don’t want it for its own sake. But just the same, I like to feel that I’ve got a tangible share in this great land of ours, a plot of ground that I can call my own. Do you know what ... gives a damn. That’s your business if you want to make a fool of yourself. SETH That’s brave talk. All the same, you feel comfortable with cards - face-to-face confrontation.

Matthew 12:38-45

Sermon

Louis H. Valbracht

... to transform us - to transform us into a palace for a KING, a LORD, a MASTER, a SAVIOR - HIMSELF! So you’re bored? So you feel that your life doesn’t have any purpose or meaning?

Do you want to see what it feels like to be a Jesus Freak? Despite the embarrassment, the discomfort, and the unfamiliarity, I’d like to have you turn to the person ...

3410. Well, What's for Sure?

2 Timothy 1:1-2:13

Sermon

Louis H. Valbracht

... know whether in religious faith there is an escape from this problematic conjecturing to solid convictions that one can feel sure about. Well, the question deserves answering for all of us. But, first, let us remind ourselves that ... the way we KNOW things! We can never KNOW a person, unless we love him. You don’t know a person when you hate him or when you feel indifferent toward him or when he’s just an acquaintance. You only KNOW a person through love. Amelia Burr wrote to someone she loved: "I’m not ...

3411. Perhaps Next Summer...

Acts 24:1-27

Sermon

Louis H. Valbracht

... was over. Unbelievably, it was the first day of autumn. Actually, we don’t regret the passing of any other season, but, somehow, it is different with the summer. We all look sadly at each other and ask: "Where did it go to?" We all have the frightening feeling that something precious has slipped through our fingers. Somehow, the days went by and we didn’t savor them like we should have. We think of all the promises that we made ourselves about the things we were going to do this summer and how they didn ...

3412. Our Father Who Art on Earth

Proverbs 1:8-19

Sermon

Louis H. Valbracht

... sense of fair play that causes us to have a Father’s Day at all. After all, Mom had her day, and, so old Pop won’t feel badly, we’ll have one for him. It’s never quite come off has it?

Sermon

Frank H. Seilhamer

3414. Let the Son Shine in

1 John 1:5--2:14

Sermon

Michael J. Anton

... , the Gospel simply declares, CONFESS. To confess is to talk in the light and to enjoy the fellowship with God and with each other. During some of our Communion services, we take time to speak words of peace to each other. This is one way to express our feelings of togetherness to each other. But to enjoy the deepest levels of fellowship, we must come to each other without deception and be willing to be known to one another as we really are, with our faults and our hangups as well as our virtues. To walk in ...

3415. Snoring through Sermons

Sermon

Michael J. Anton

... criers at the station would pontifically call out the names of the towns along the route of the departing train, as though they had been to every place they named. But those criers had never been out of town. They had just repeated the names so often, they began to feel like they had been there. We can all make the same mistake, when we confine our faith to regular trips to the same place only to repeat the name of God over and over - but never to really meet Him. We meet him here. But we also meet him out ...

3416. MUSICIAN

Judges 5:11; Amos 6:5

Illustration

Stephen Stewart

... from the drawings and musical instruments left by men who lived many centuries ago. As man ate because he was hungry, so he made music because of his need to tell other people how he felt about the world. He learned that his voice could express his feelings by changing from loud to soft, of high to low. He discovered rhythm in the movement of his own body and in observing nature: falling rain, wind in the trees, the flight of birds, the rhythmic movement of animals. Gradually man began to sing and beat time ...

3417. Good News For Good Parents

2 Timothy 1:1-2:13

Sermon

... doing so, he realized that he could understand arithmetic. He felt a new confidence in his ability, and went on to become a good math student. We need to encourage our children. We need not only to surround them with love but we need to help them feel competent as persons. I wish every one of us had inscribed on the walls of our home the words of Dorothy Law Nolte’s work, “Children Learn What They Live,” and then kept this constantly before us in our daily activities. If a child lives with criticism ...

3418. Marriage is Forever

Matthew 5:31-32, Matthew 19:1-12

Sermon

Bill Bouknight

... years Jesus had been Lord for them. Now, hear a second truth from our Lord about marriage and divorce: Even Divorce Is Covered By God's Grace. There are some persons here today who divorced years ago; some have remarried. You need to hear that word because you feel a pang of guilt each time you hear Jesus' words on this subject. Jesus once talked with a woman who had been married five times. He did not command her to go back and find her first husband and live with him, no matter how miserable they might ...

3419. The Might of the Mite

Mark 12:41-44

Sermon

Bill Bouknight

... always considered these women to be the biggest givers in the church. If you can give 10 percent of your income to Christ Church and never have to skip a single luxury or deny yourself a single indulgence, you better raise that percentage. Raise it until you can feel a pinch of sacrifice. Those mighty mites demand it. BECAUSE OF THOSE MIGHTY MITES, WE MEASURE A GIFT SECONDLY, NOT BY WHAT IS GIVEN BUT BY WHAT IS KEPT. Here is a vital question: What percentage of my income must I keep in order to make ends ...

3420. When The Word Became Flesh

John 1:1-18

Sermon

Bill Bouknight

... to me which included the following: "How thankful I am that you came to our home and asked Bob the questions of faith. Not that I would have worried about him had you not, but it gives me such a secure feeling. You see, never once did we discuss his dying. And he was very private about matters of faith. I feel so confident about where he is now and that we shall meet again." You can sing "Joy to the World, the Lord is come" until you are blue in the face, but he has not really come for you until ...

3421. The Trinity

Matthew 28:16-20

Sermon

Brett Blair

... . It is the realization of the presence of the Living God. Intimacy with God. That’s what the Holy Spirit brings to our lives. And herein lies a danger. We must be careful lest we identify the work of the Holy Spirit with our own deep feelings and impulses. Virtually every conceivable error of judgment or breakdown in intelligence within the church can, and has been, attributed to the work of the Holy Spirit. Whether it’s the capital punishment of heretics as was done in the middle ages or the moving of ...

3422. A Prophet in a Panic

1 Kings 19:9-18

Sermon

Bill Bouknight

... plus work-weeks. We drain our resources, forget how to be renewed, and then isolate in our suburbs or apartments. Therefore, we feel anxious and depressed. Let's see if a biblical character named Elijah can help us chart a path through anxiety and ... I began walking up that dirt road, I feared the possibility that I might step on a snake in the dark. So, I began trotting, feeling that the faster I moved, the harder I would be to hit. Before long, every noise I heard along the road was a snake. Before ...

3423. A Risky Lifestyle

Matthew 25:14-30

Sermon

Bill Bouknight

... God holds his servants accountable to high standards. God expects all of us to be faithful and fruitful. Jesus said, "This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples." (John 15:8) If one can feel sorry for a tree, I sometimes feel for a certain fig tree in Jerusalem which Jesus and his disciples passed one day. No figs were on the tree for it was not the season for figs. Nevertheless, Jesus said some harsh words about the unproductive tree. By the following day ...

Sermon

Bill Bouknight

... that one partner has capitulated to the other or they just don't communicate. In even the best marriages, there are some days when partners feel like saying to each other, "I love you but I don't like you." My main point this morning is that a good marriage can ... , you are wonderful at budgeting and the man of my dreams, but when you question me about almost every check I write, I feel like a teenager relating to my father."

James Wilson

... gift we can give is love. Give us the ears to truly hear Your word. In Christ we pray. Amen. Prayer Of Confession Lord, so often when faced with all the needs around us we have let ourselves feel hopeless and wanting to give up. Too often we would compare what we can give to the gifts of others, only to feel ours seem so small. Forgive us, Lord, and help us to know in our hearts that every kindness and gift when given with love are precious in Your sight. In Christ we pray. Amen. Hymns "All Who Love ...
