  • "Occupy Till Come”

    Contributed on Dec 18, 2025
     | 52 views

    In the parable of the distribution of pounds, in Luke 19:13, Jesus tells us how Christians should live until He returns. • He tells believers to OCCUPY TILL HE COMES!

    Also, this verse of scripture tells us how long we are to OCCUPY….UNTIL HE COMES. This phrase comes from a parable in Luke 19:12-27 called “The Parable of the Pounds”. Jesus told this story because the people thought He was on earth to set up His kingdom right then. Jesus wanted them to ...read more

  • "The Forgotten Man Of Christmas,” (Christmas Sermon)

    Today like ministers across this great nation I want to preach a sermon about Christmas. But in this Christmas sermon I feel led to take a different approach from most sermons that are being preached today. Today I want to preach about THE FORGOTTEN MAN OF CHRISTMAS!!!

    Text: Introduction: • Generally, Mary the mother of Jesus is the focus of attention normally in a Christmas sermon. • But there is another individual that is equally important in the Christmas story, and I want to focus on JOSEPH, THE EARTHLY FATHER OF OUR LORD JESUS. THE FORGOTTEN MAN ...read more

  • What The Bible Teaches About Prayer

    During the days of the apostle Paul, there were no Bible colleges and seminaries as we have today to train young ministers as we have.

    Illus: When a young man felt God was calling him into the ministry, we take it for granted that if he can, he will go to Bible college and seminary and get all the training that is available. But those who start late in life into the ministry they are not able to do this because they already have ...read more

  • "It Is Good For Me That I Have Been Afflicted..."

    Contributed on Dec 11, 2025
     | 108 views

    I have taken the title of this sermon from my text In Psalm 119:71. In which we read, “It is good for me that I have been afflicted..." Now what rational man would say such a thing? “It is good for me that I have been afflicted..."

    Paul basically said such a thing also in a different way in Romans 8:28 and we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. “ALL THINGS” includes the good and the bad. But it is difficult sometimes to understand IT IS GOOD ...read more

  • The Road To Hell... Where Does It Lead?

    Contributed on Dec 5, 2025
     | 205 views

    The title of my sermon is asking a question, the question is, the road to hell, where does it lead? This will not be a Joel Osteen sermon. I will show you from the Word of God the answer to that question, “the road to hell, where does it lead” in a few minutes.

    But I want to ask you another question, how did the Lord Jesus preach His sermons when He was here on earth? We do not have to do any surmising, to find the answer to that question, all we have to do is turn to the scriptures. How? It depended on who He was preaching too… (1)HE PREACHED SOFT ...read more
