    The Rightness Of Divine Self-Promotion Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Nov 1, 2021
     | 3,946 views

    While it is wrong and inappropriate for us to make it all about us and to devote our lives to self-promotion, it is altogether right and good to make it all about God and for God to be engaged in divine self-promotion.

    A. One day a little boy was overheard talking to himself as he strutted on to the baseball diamond wearing his baseball cap and toting a ball and bat, “I’m the greatest hitter in the world,” he announced. 1. Then, he tossed the ball into the air, swung at it, and missed. 2. “Strike One!” he ...read more

    Singing In The Rain…

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 23, 2022
     | 3,326 views

    Introduction: I want to preach a sermon called, “Singing in the Rain.” The words “Singing In The Rain…” come from a famous song sung by Donald O’ Conner. The idea of course is that we often plan things in life and then the rain comes and spoils those plans.

    Illus: Possibly: • We are going to watch a parade, but the rain comes and spoils our parade • We are going on a picnic in the park with our family, but once we spread the lunch, the rain begins and ruins our picnic If we are going to be successful in this life spiritually, THE RAIN WILL CERTAINLY ...read more

    Most adults enjoy being around children because they simply tell it like it is.

    Illus: Years ago Art Linkletter hosted the television program called, "Kids Say the Darndest Things." On his show he would ask them simple questions about life, and these children would give him answers that often brought the show to a halt with laughter. • One father also was going ...read more

    I think Apostle Paul must have loved athletics and he uses it in his writings. The analogy is that of a runner who is running to win so that he might gain the prize.

    The Politics Of Jesus

    based on 1 rating
     | 1,863 views

    Christians think they align with Jesus' views. Some are surprised, others offended. Jesus’ campaign sounds like a liberal utopia because we’re not ready to let go of hate, we’re not ready to trust in God and not in the law. We have to transcend hate and show the mercy we’ve been shown by God.

    There are only two shows that I’ve ever watched the entire series. One of which I still own on DVD and have watched the entire series 3 times. If there was any show that I’d love to see still running today it would be this one. I’d love to see how it would interpret and respond to the issues of our ...read more

    Our decision to share our faith can be built on shifting sands, or solid rock.

    I’ve met folks who think that if Jesus walked among us today like he did back in Galilee, we’d be so much better off in our Christianity. How could we ignore him, they ask, if he was right here in front of us? Judging from the people who were right in front of him a couple thousand years ago, it ...read more

    It was on this day, in the Book of Acts, that the Holy Spirit was poured out on 120 Followers of Christ who were gathered in an Upper Room at Jerusalem. It was on this day that the Church was born in a “Blaze of Glory.”

    OPENING ILLUSTRATION: Play the video on “Holy Spirit.” The word “Pentecost” designates the 50th day after Passover, which was a Feast Day. Also known as the Feast of Weeks or Feast of Harvest. It was a time when Israel celebrated Moses receiving the Ten Commandments from God. It was on this day, ...read more
