    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Dec 10, 2018
     | 5,001 views

    The road to surrender to the Lord’s will is different for each one of us, but it is where God wants to take us.

    A Lesson Learned: Surrender (Luke 1:57-80) 1. Dec. 6 (UPI) -- Customs officers at the Port of New York/Newark made an unusual seizure recently when they uncovered a shipment of 9,024 pairs of counterfeit Nike shoes.

    Mark 1:1-8 - Who Is Jesus?

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jan 30, 2018
     | 8,904 views

    In Mark 1:1-8 Mark declares that Jesus is the Christ and the Son of God. He goes on to show that Jesus fulfills OT prophecies and that John the Baptist is himself a fulfillment of prophecies who proclaims Jesus Deity as well.

    Please open your Bibles to Mark 1:1-8 which we will read in a few minutes. The Gospel of Mark is fast paced. It is the shortest of the four Gospels filled with miracles and action to show the power of Jesus the Messiah. The Gospel of Mark emphasizes the super-human power of Jesus. Mark presents ...read more

    Never mind the preacher. Look to the One preached.

    THE VOICE IN THE WILDERNESS. John 1:19-28. The witness of John is put on record (John 1:19) because the Council in Jerusalem sent a delegation to him, asking who he thought he was, preaching without licence (from them) out there in the wilderness. They surely knew he was a priest’s son, but ...read more

    Faith in the Storm. Jesus is sovereign over every need, fear, and circumstance. He alone satisfies, sustains, and saves. Jesus reveals His power and presence in the midst of life’s storms, calling us to walk by faith, not fear. Trust in God for His Grace, Provision, Compassion, and Healing.

    "Sometimes I Don't Feel Saved”

    Contributed by Kenneth Trent on Feb 8, 2005
    based on 29 ratings
     | 4,109 views

    One of the common laments I have heard over the more than fifty-five years as a Baptist pastor is: “Sometimes I don’t feel saved.”

    "SOMETIMES I DON’T FEEL SAVED” “And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. The one who has the Son has life. The one who doesn’t have the Son of God does not have life. I have written these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that ...read more

    The Way: To The Mission Field Series

    based on 35 ratings
     | 4,843 views

    Jesus was on a mission! He was a missionary! So were John the Baptist and the Apostles, and when you let Him be Lord and Savior of your life, YOU became a missionary, too!

    The Way: To the Mission Field Scripture Reading: John 14:1~6 "Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God ; trust also in me. 2 In my Father’s house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you.

    Hell - Just Suppose It's Real

    Contributed by Danny Anderson on Oct 27, 2006
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,151 views

    35% of Baptists; 54% of Presbyterians, 58% of Methodists, and 60% of Episcopalians do not believe there is a literal place called hell! Worse yet is the fact that 71% of the students studying to be ministers

    HELL: Just Suppose It is Real TEXT: Mark 9:43-48 INTRODUCTION: Recent surveys conducted among church-going folks concluded that only a small minority actually believe in a literal hell. The survey concluded that 35% of Baptists; 54% of Presbyterians, 58% of Methodists, and 60% of Episcopalians ...read more

    Taking Risks For Homeland Security

    For Men’s Day at Emmaus Baptist Church, Quinton, VA. Aquila is an example of taking risks to secure his self-knowledge, his relationships, and his contribution to the church.

    Anything worth doing involves risk, doesn’t it? Nothing great has ever been accomplished by people afraid to take risks. I have seen a poster that showed a small fish, closing in on a worm and a fishhook, but unaware that he was about to be gobbled up by a large fish, which was itself about to be ...read more

     | 4,453 views

    The shallow adulation and transitory merriment that the people showed toward John the Baptist is echoed toward Christ in the world’s celebration during what is known as advent or the Christmas season.

    ‘TIS THE SEASON JOHN 5:35 I. The Season of John the Baptist A. The Ministry of John the Baptist 1. He was a burning and a shining light 2. Several words can be used for light a.

    Making A Positive Impact For Jesus

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Dec 7, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,328 views

    John the Baptist made a big impact on many people. This sermon encourages people to make a positive impact (for Jesus) upon people, and not simply to be going through the motions

    Just occasionally we come across someone who makes a big impact upon us. Early in my life John Stainer made an impact upon me. At the time he had a big bushy beard – a bit like I imagine John the Baptist. John was my Sunday school teacher (John Stainer that is, not the Baptist), and he made an ...read more

    God calls us, as He called John the Baptist, to Prepare the Way of the Lord Proclaim His salvation and Shine with the love and grace and mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ

    This morning I’d like to give a post script to the year. When you write a letter and you have one more thing to say you write ps. That means post script, or after the letter. If you then think of just one more thing you want to say you’ll write pps. Or post-post script, after the post ...read more

    We Need To Get Turned Around

    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,465 views

    John the Baptist called for each of us to repent. What does that mean? How do we get turned around when we find we are on the wrong road?

    About 15 years ago, I was on my way to an orientation and open day at the seminary. I had never been to the campus before, and the freeways in California can be tricky. In this case, the 57, which I was taking, and the 60 joined together for a couple of miles before they split apart. Somehow I ...read more

    Qualities Of God's Servants

    Contributed by Jerry Owen on Dec 6, 2017
     | 9,651 views

    What are the qualities that God is looking for in His servants? The angel spoke about 4 qualities that John the Baptist would have. We ought to endeavor to emulate these qualities of John.

    QUALITIES OF GOD’S SERVANTS LUKE 1:15-17 Luke 1:5-7 5 In the time of Herod king of Judea there was a priest named Zechariah, who belonged to the priestly division of Abijah; his wife Elizabeth was also a descendant of Aaron. 6 Both of them were righteous in the sight of God, observing all the ...read more

    This sermon reflects on what the John the Baptist says about Christ's coming and how we should prepare, and what Jesus says about when the end of the world will occur.

    Well, according to my count, we have about 12 days left until the world ends. Unless you’ve been living in a cave, you’ve probably heard all about the Mayan calendar and how some say it predicts the world will end on December 21, 2012. Apparently, a stone tablet discovered in the ...read more
