     | 498 views

    This message is part of a series from the Sermon Series Kits offered on sermoncentral.com I have used the outline and added my own illustrations, application and thoughts as led by the Holy Spirit.

    Many people have a fear of the dark. I don't like darkness. I had to come over to the church late at night. I made my daughter come with me. I was not going into a dark building alone. Today we begin a new series "Glow in the Dark." It's no secret our world is living in ...read more

    The vagabond spirit is the spirit that makes a person live an irregular life or a wandering life. Some contribution has been added from Dr D.O Olukoya's teachings.

After Lot's wife had turned back to look at Sodom and turned to salt, Lot and his two daughters fled from the plain up into the hills, where they could be safer. There were no settlements ...read more

    The sermon was originally preached by Rev. Steven Simala Grant of Laurier Heights Baptist Church (Edmonton, Alberta, Canada); I have added a point and tweaked others to make it work in my parish.

    The world today nearly demands us to worry: about work, finances, education, etc. But Jesus directs us to a different way of life, which has the added benefit of being worry-free.

    (Holding up U.S. currency) "In God We Trust." "In God We Trust." So reads the slogan on every piece of United States currency. It seems awfully ironic, doesn't it? Every day we carry around in our wallets and our purses and our pockets pieces of money that say we trust in God. But when it comes ...read more

    Who said Sunday is the new Sabbath? Roman Emperor Constantine did in 321 A.D. The Roman Catholic Church did. The Church of England did, and the Puritans did. But the Bible never did.

    INTRODUCTION The wife of a man who died assumed they had plenty of money so she gave him a very nice funeral and a fancy tombstone that said, “Rest in Peace.” However, when the estate was settled she learned he had wasted all their money on gambling and bad investments. This made her so angry she ...read more

    To establish that this conversion also follows the New Testament’s “pattern of conversions” as outlined in the Book of Acts. This lesson will establish that these uncircumcised Gentiles were added to the church in the same manner as all other believers.

    This is taken from an existing Sermon on Sermon Central, i just added some illustrations and tailored it to a series we are doing on the purpose driven life. The sermon looks at the 5 primary ways to please God.

    Introduction One of the key elements of a good sermon is making sure you have a really good illustration. For those of you that preach, I know I have had to only come up with 3 so far, but tonight I would like to take you into the world Noah. Whole sermon is almost an illustration.

     | 3,174 views

    This is a response to the Virginia Tech murders. It examines our response as Christians and as responsible firearm owners. It also questions what we can do to be part of the solution. Although it is a manuscript, there is a lot to be ad-libbed in this.

     | 2,932 views

    Hell is a very real place and very scary, but also ad comforting message of grace for the unjust, How do we solve the problem of all of those contradicting verses - WE CAN, LOOK AND SEE!

    With sincerity, dedication and concern, by lending out their ears, many well meaning Christians study the hell fire message out of context. The message of forever being punished in hell is a message of Love and hope and not a message of discouragement. it's not a message that should cause you to ...read more
