Sermons on Acts 16:

Sacrifice Of Praise

Contributed by Anitha Jabastion on Jun 19, 2021

The terms praise and sacrifice seem to be opposites of one another. Praise generally bubbles from a happy and a grateful heart. Sacrifice, on the other hand, costs us something. What then does it mean to offer – sacrifice of praise?

Hebrews 13:15 - Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name. Psalm 49:14 - Offer to God the sacrifice of praise Praise generally bubbles from a happy and a grateful heart. Sacrifice, on the other hand, costs ...read more

Caring And Sharing

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 5, 2022

Caring enough to share our love and faith meets other people’s needs, physical and spiritual; but it also meets ours as well. Whenever we look out beyond ourselves and reach out to care and share, God delivers us from our own problems.

This morning’s message is entitled “caring and sharing.” Often when we teach on the purpose and life of the church we speak about koinonia, which is a New Testament Greek word meaning “fellowship.” However, one pastor tells us “that koinonia means caring for the poor” and that “Christian ...read more

8. Discernment – Separating Friends From Foes Series

Contributed by Shingirayi Gwete on Feb 26, 2022

There are enemies who are within the camp of God and pretend to be serving Christ, yet they are deceivers who have been sent by the devil to abuse the flock. In this sermon we will focus on how to identify whether a person has been sent by God or by the devil.

28) The Gospel Is Not Of Works! Series

Contributed by Brandon Max on Feb 27, 2022

The Bible teaches only the true Gospel which involves every "sinner" being saved: 1) according to God's Grace; 2) by faith in Jesus Christ alone; 3) having absolutely nothing to do with good works. This is what we believe!

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST THE GOSPEL IS NOT BY WORKS – IT IS THE GIFT OF GOD Salvation is by Grace, through Faith, being the Gift of God.

35) Confirming Another's Salvation In Jesus Christ Series

Contributed by Brandon Max on Feb 27, 2022

Religion often makes things confusing - but people can not afford to be confused about the Gospel. Salvation is through Jesus Christ alone. We should all learn to take the time to confirm a persons salvation in Jesus Christ before just assuming they are saved.

35) CONFIRMING ANOTHER'S SALVATION IN JESUS CHRIST TEXT: Acts 8:30-31 30 And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest? 31 And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me?

Isaac: A Picture Of Jesus And A Picture Of Sinners

Contributed by Jenny Franklin on Nov 29, 2021

In some ways Isaac is a picture of Christ. As you read, think about what Isaac has in common with Christ. In other ways Isaac represents us as sinners. What does Isaac have in common with every sinner?

Receiving And Rejecting The Light

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Dec 17, 2021

John tells us in the prologue of his Gospel that the Light of Jesus Christ shines in the darkness that represents the sins of humanity. Some turn to the Light and others reject it, missing out on the blessings of salvation and eternal life.

In the prologue to his Gospel, John presents the Lord Jesus Christ as "the Light" that shines in darkness, and that it was John the Baptist who bore witness of His Light. The Light of Christ is offered to everyone, yet not all wanted the Light of Christ to shine upon them, and they ...read more

Jesus Christ: Our Divine Teacher, Part 1

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Dec 30, 2021

John 3 introduces us to Nicodemus, a religious man who seemed sincere in wanting to know more about Jesus. He received the greatest lesson in that a real relationship with God is made possible only by the finished work of Christ on the cross and His resurrection.

The third chapter of John's Gospel gives us a portrait of the Lord Jesus as the Divine Teacher. He has already been presented as the Light, The Word of God, the Lamb of God, and the Messiah. Now He gives His attention to teach us how to flee the darkness of this world and come to the Light, ...read more
