    Christ left the synagogue to minister. It was while he was in the world He was able to connect with those who really needed Him.

    The idea for this sermon comes from Beth Moore’s book "Jesus, The One And Only." I want to start this morning by asking you to get a picture in your head that illustrates ministry. Was your mental image of ministry: • A man passing out tracts on a street corner? • A missionary sharing Jesus ...read more

     | 24,013 views

    So what is the purpose of lighting the whole room? Is it to enable outsiders to see how clean we are, perhaps to see our new carpet, our qualifications up on the wall or perhaps how beautiful we may look?

    SERMON---LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE---Mt 5:14-15 He said to them, “Do you bring in a lamp to put it under a bowl or a bed? Instead, don’t you put it on its stand? For whatever is hidden is meant to be disclosed; and whatever is concealed is meant to be brought out into the open. If anyone has ears to ...read more

    There are 5 Servant Songs (some say 4--but I’m using 5). This sermon serves as an introduction of the series, and it serves as an introduction of Christ’s earthly ministry.

    (some of the ideas for this sermon I got from an old sermon of my dad’s (also Larry Brincefield). If he had an original source, it is unknown to me. If you recognize anything herein that I need to give credit for; please advise.) Sunday, January 18, 2004 Title: Bruised Reeds and Smoking ...read more

    How does one find a faith that is relevant for the 21st century?

    Several months ago I caught John Larroquette, the actor, on the “Tonight Show.” Somehow the conversation turned to religion.

    Which type of soil is your faith planted in? For many I am afraid that they are not planted in the good soil.

    “Parable of the Sower” Introduction It seems odd to me that all Christians respond differently to God’s Word. It is weird to me that we can all come to church and hear the same sermon and even sit in the same pew, but some take something away from it and others don’t. We all respond differently ...read more
