We Proclaim Him

Contributed by J. Yeargin on Dec 1, 2006

Evangelism is a proclamation! Paul wrote this letter to the Colossians wanting them to understand the importance of telling others about Christ.

WE PROCLAIM HIM! Text: Colossians 1:28 – 29 Tonight I want to talk about “evangelism”. We all have our idea of what is meant by the word, “evangelism”. • Going door to door – canvassing. • Passing out Christian tracks. • Holding tent/camp meetings.

Has God Finished With Israel?

Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Apr 16, 2014

A short talk asking an important question. This parable has often been used to say that God's promises to Israel have all been transferred away from Israel and given to the church. Is this what Jesus was saying? Who was he talking to?

When Stevie Wonder appeared on Top of the Pops and sang, “I just called to say I love you” – who was he singing to? Was it the studio audience? Was it the wider TV audience? Or was it the person on the other end of the phone? I’m almost certain it was the latter. Does it ...read more

The Drawing Of Naaman The Outsider

It is a mark of true leadership to be able to take advice from those whom we lead.

THE DRAWING OF NAAMAN THE OUTSIDER. 2 Kings 5:1-14. ‘While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us’ (Romans 5:8). Those who were ‘far off are made nigh by the blood of Jesus’ (Ephesians 2:13).

His Plans Not Our Plans

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Oct 19, 2013

The Temple of the LORD and the dynasty of David.

HIS PLANS, NOT OUR PLANS. 2 Samuel 7:1-16. (The title of this Sermon is based upon Isaiah 55:8-9.) There are three main thrusts in our reading in 2 Samuel today: 1.

The Unity Of Hope

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 23, 2013

The Christ child as the hope of the nations.

THE UNITY OF HOPE. Romans 15:4-13. In many respects we might view Romans 14:1 to Romans15:13 as the practical outworking of the Jewish/Gentile debate of Romans 9 to 11. There was some dissension in Rome over matters of food and drink, and holy days. It is quite probable that it was a question of ...read more

Christian Character Of Stephen The Martyr

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 10, 2013

The would-be servant of God, whether waiting at table, ushering at the door, distributing to the poor, or preaching the gospel, must be of a blameless character and reputation.

THE CHRISTIAN CHARACTER OF STEPHEN THE MARTYR. Acts 6:1-15. It is interesting to commemorate one particular saint who gave his name to a Street, a Road, a Church, and a bench (!) in Norwich, and I dare say in other cities too. Stephen is rightly acknowledged as the first Christian martyr, a ...read more

How To Get Your Bounce Back

Contributed by James ( Jim ) Highland on Jun 12, 2012

Followers of Christ can become discouraged, without the lively step in their service. Jesus gave to two of His followers a new bounce to their step.

How to Get Your Bounce Back Luke 24:13-35 Our spirits are fickle. One time we are on top of the world, the next time we are at the bottom. Like many politicians call their opponents, we are “flip-flops.” Two examples of spiritual “flip-flops” are described in Luke ...read more

The Power Of The Word Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 10, 2012

The story of Elisha and Naaman teaches us about the Word of Evangelization, the Word of direction, and the Word of testimony, all powerful in the saving of souls.
