    Marks Of A Christian

    Contributed by John Telgren on Jun 1, 2003
    based on 117 ratings
     | 36,549 views

    What are the marks of a true Christian? Perhaps it would be helpful to look at what is not a mark of a Christian first, then what the mark of a Christian is

    This morning I want to talk about marks. Most of us are familiar with marks. When you mark something, you want to identify it. For instance, people that cut down trees will mark which ones stay, and which ones get cut down. Auto parts stores will mark the parts they sell that have lifetime ...read more

    People have many ideas about what makes a church "spiritual," and not too many of them are biblical. In today’s sermon we will find that a spiritual church is characterized by its devotion to Jesus Christ.

    What Does A Spiritual Church Look Like? Acts 2:41-47 Introduction Illustration: The Tater Family Some families make church their home. Others find other uses for the church. Take the notorious Tater family, for example. Perhaps you’ve met some of them. · The chief of the clan is old Dick Tater, ...read more

    (The People of God) Opening Story – “Secret Service” Christians A man was coming out of church one day.

    It is not what you do but who you are that counts!

    Who Are You? When people think of God, church, religion or things of that nature they usually think of a code of ethics, rules or rituals. When asked what is important to God they will quote several "thou shalts or thou shalt nots". They may mention baptism, membership or giving. ...read more

    Condemnation through traditions of men stifles the true gospel and destroys the Christian Life

    If a billionaire was to enter almost any church he would be especially honored, same way a swashbuckling movie star hunk. But when a LGBT or prostitute walks in, suddenly a crisis has arisen, even if both sets have truly turned their hearts to God through Christ. In other churches, it would be ...read more

    A short talk for Mothering Sunday, given at a service of baptism where lots of Brownies and Scouts were also present. The talk aims to publicise the great work of the Mothers’ Union, although I would personally like to rename it Mothers United!

    Yesterday, sitting outside the bathroom I saw a copy of this magazine called Families First and it’s great. ‘Families First’ is a magazine produced by The Mothers’ Union, aiming to encourage strong marriages, good parenting and active faith. I really like those three aims because I believe that ...read more

    So great was Lot's love of Sodom, the angels had to drag him and his family out. Sin had such a hold on them and they left with nothing. He should NEVER have been in Sodom in the first place. We look at Lot's offering his daughters to be gang raped. A disgrace.
