    Fruit For Christmas

    Contributed by Lynn Malone on Dec 14, 2015
     | 4,744 views

    John the Baptist (and John Wesley, too) said that repentance would bear fruit in a changed life. Preparing for the coming of Christ means living and life of repentance and bearing the fruit that reflects that repentance.

    Merry Christmas. Here’s your orange. No joke. An orange was a pretty common Christmas gift in years gone by, especially during the Great Depression. A child would awaken on Christmas morning to find a stocking stuffed with an orange, and apple, perhaps a banana, a few nuts, and if ...read more

    Popularity Versus Godliness

    Contributed by Dr. Abraham Obadare on Dec 6, 2020
     | 3,505 views

    The saga involving Herod, Herodias and John the Baptist suggests that we as God's children must beware of the choices we make when we need to decide between popularity and godliness.

    Introduction: This text shows the actions of some people who were faced with the decisions of correcting what is wrong, repenting, and revenging in the situations they faced in life. Revealed in the saga is the competition between popularity and godliness, a dilemma that all humans beings have to ...read more

    The Giving Game.

     | 1,251 views

    The son of a Baptist preacher, J.C Penney was motivated by the golden rule. His first store was named, Golden Rule store, and he titled his autobiography 50 years with the Golden Rule.

    The Giving Game. 2 Corinthians 8:7NASB I read a biography about the life and legacy of JC Penney, the founder of the department store by the same name. The C in J.C stood for cash, no kidding. But that wasn’t the motivation behind his ...read more

    White Christmas Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Dec 25, 2009
    based on 37 ratings
     | 30,875 views

    Zechariah (the father of John the Baptist) declared certain prophecies about the coming Messiah and how He would fulfill the dream of a "white Christmas" for Israel. What were these prophecies, and how did Jesus fulfill them?

    OPEN: (I began the sermon by leading the congregation in singing “White Christmas”) I’m dreaming of a White Christmas, just like the ones I used to know. Where the treetops glisten, and children listen to hear sleigh bells in the snow. I’m dreaming of a white Christmas with every Christmas card ...read more

    Mark 1:1-8 - Who Is Jesus?

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jan 30, 2018
     | 8,768 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

    Most people are religious at some point in their life. They dabble in religion either as a child or perhaps they attend church for a while with a friend during their days in college to explore the fascinating world of religious belief. A coworker dies that is Buddhist and they interact with their ...read more

     | 1,150 views

    John the baptizer was born and spoke for the purpose of telling the masses to get ready, something huge is about to happen.

    Who was John the baptizer? He was not one of Jesus’ twelve disciples. He was in fact a blood relative of Jesus. Jesus’s cousin. But there was something very special about John. His birth happened in a very special way. He would become a voice crying out to the entire nation of Israel, to prepare ...read more

    Recipe For The Kingdom; A Pinch Of Yeast, A Tiny Seed, And An Empty Tomb. Series

    Contributed by Larry Turner on Mar 29, 2013
     | 6,837 views

    Jesus describes his Kingdom as a pinch of yeast and a mustard seed. But it is the empty tomb that makes these useful.

    Over the past few weeks we have spent a great deal of time discovering truths about the Kingdom of Jesus. We have discovered that it lives within us and empowers us to do great things for him. We have discovered that we are to co-exist in a world filled with sinners and influence them without ...read more

     | 5,550 views

    God repeatedly warns inhabitants of this dying world to look to Him or receive His judgement. The message looks at the Second Psalm in light of current world conditions.

    “Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD and against his Anointed, saying, ‘Let us burst their bonds apart and cast away their cords from us.’ “He who sits in the heavens laughs; the ...read more

    There Was A Man Sent From God

    based on 58 ratings
     | 6,602 views

    Just as God raised up John the Baptist to proclaim repentance and to call men to prepare the way of the Lord, even so today when He has a work to be done, He seeks for a willing servant.

    THERE WAS A MAN SENT FROM GOD “There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. This man came for a witness of the Light, that all through him might believe. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. That was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the ...read more

    What Are Your Expectations Of The Messiah?

    Contributed by Philip Gill on Feb 10, 2003
    based on 51 ratings
     | 7,028 views

    If John the Baptist had to make sure Jesus was the Messiah it may well have been because there were several examples upon which the expected messiah could be modelled. What are our expectations of the Messiah?

    When John heard in prison what the Messiah was doing, he sent word by his disciples and said to him, "Are you the one who is to come, or are we to wait for another?" Jesus answered them, "Go and tell John what you hear and see: the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, ...read more

    Funeral message for Mrs. Thora Mohler, a long-time member of our mostly African-American Baptist church, but proud of her Swedish Lutheran heritage, and devoted to certain tasks in the life of our church.

    Anyone who ever counted money with Thora Mohler will tell you that she was a woman with a determination to get things right. She would not let go until she had the right answer. On Mondays, Mrs. Mohler, until recent months, was one of those faithful behind-the-scenes workers our church has, ...read more

    Jesus and John the Baptist used different methods and styles of proclaiming their message. Even though the methods were different, the message was the same. This message examines how methodology and style are guided by the timeless mission of reconci

     | 4,918 views

    There are a lot of people that disagree as to who these two witnesses are, some say that their Elijah and John the Baptist, some Elijah and Enoch, but most believe its Elijah and Moses, and to me Elijah and Moses are who they are.
