    In the last five verses of the last chapter of the Bible, we have a beautiful picture of God’s last message to the last day church.

    Tail Of The Tiger

    As Paul went about preaching the gospel, there was a predictable reaction from the enemy of that gospel. This passage helps us understand why the gospel angers people, how they express that anger, and the way that anger is calmed.

    Passage: Acts 19:23-41 Intro: Poewr Point picture of a tiger. 1. would you go up and twist the tail of this animal, or stick your finger in its eye? 2. if you did, you would expect a reaction. 3. most of us avoid doing things that make other people angry. 4. but as we are discovering in Acts, our ...read more

    based on 5 ratings
     | 3,597 views

    A sermon encouraging our church to step out in faith and get off the edge. A message for a church that is sitting on the fence or a church that is ready to move into the direction God has called them.

    A church on the edge God’s relationship with us seems to be one of “edginess” of a risk taking journey- at least according to Scripture. it’s risky “to truly love” isn’t it? It’s risky to confess. It’s risky to forgive, it’s risky to truly care, it’s risky to surrender, confront, risky ...read more

    What people need today more than anything else is the truth concerning their eternal destiny.

    THE PLAIN TRUTH Prov. 23:22-25 INTRO. The world today is hurting for the truth. We hear a lot about the "credibility gap". That is the difference between what the people are told and the real truth. There is a credibility gap in the presentation of the gospel also. Many people are lost and ...read more

    Some people cannot reconcile God’s judgment and wrath with the Christian gospel of love, mercy, and grace. Nevertheless, Scripture makes clear that justice, wrath, and judgment are as much divine attributes as are love mercy, and grace.

    What it really means for Jesus Christ to control the life of a believer - the presentation of our bodies, the process of the renewing of our minds, and the performance of the Will Of God.

    The sermon is designed to empower all persons to become involved in every phase of the church’s ministry.

    One person can’t do it all (Exodus 18:15-27) Have you been around someone who came across as being indispensable? From this persons’ stance, nothing could be done right if it was not done by him or her. Despite the fact that they were others capable of assisting, the person from ...read more
