    Holes In The Darkness

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Sep 22, 2010
    based on 6 ratings
     | 4,338 views

    You are the light of the world. As you live out this goodness visibly in front of the people of the world, your life will point them to Jesus where they too can find life that is real life.

    Opening illustration: Robert Lewis Stevenson, peering out of the window saw a workman come by and light the gas lights along the street. When asked what he was watching, the young boy said, “I see a man making holes in the darkness.” Let us turn to Matthew 5 and see how we as believers can make ...read more

    (PowerPoint slides and Cell Study Notes freely available by emailing Emile@Wolfaardt.com) The function of every Christian, like John the Baptist, is to make Christ manifest where they are. Find the four keys to manifesting Christ to your world.

    Journeying with John, It’s a Trip (JWJ-08) Introducing Jesus John 1:24-34 This morning I want to start by asking you a fascinating question- and that is this: How would you introduce Jesus? Let’s say, for instance, that you were at work and Jesus walked in, and your friends asked you, “Hey, who is ...read more

     | 4,136 views

    Giving a clear testimony of the Gospel is part of being a follower of Christ.

    Testimony. What goes through your mind when you hear that word? Maybe a court scene and telling about a crime you witnessed. Or making a statement to the Police. Or standing in front of a large group to share your personal experience with God. The word “testimony” comes from the word ...read more

    Living Stones Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 13,204 views

    If we want to influence our friends and family members to follow Jesus, then we must KNOW who we are and BE who we are in Christ. We are God's holy temple and God's special people, designed to be living displays of His greatness, so let's live that way.

    Howard Hendricks, one of my professors at Dallas Theological Seminary, sometimes talked about his days when he was a student at the same seminary. In one of those stories, he tells about the time he was invited to preach in west Texas. “You’ve all heard of Nowhere? Well,” ...read more

    A Sunrise Service Sermonette focusing on all four gospels and witness perspectives encouraging listeners to be a witness for Jesus Christ.

    A MATTER OF PERSPECTIVE Matthew 28:1-10 + Mark 16:1-12 + Luke 24:1-12 + John 20:1-18 I would like you to imagine standing at a busy street corner. You are standing on one corner waiting to cross.

    Contributed by Ron Tuit on Jun 17, 2013
     | 5,316 views

    The word, "Christian", sometimes carries a bad connotation in our society; Would someone be "jealous" of your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ?

    Difference Makers Are Different Series

    Contributed by David Swanger on Mar 6, 2013
     | 6,941 views

    To make a difference, one must be different. Such is a real possibility as we become salt and light before a decaying and dark world.

    You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men. You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a ...read more

    Be Brace, Speak And Don't Give Up! Series

    Contributed by Chuck Sligh on Aug 9, 2017
     | 11,398 views

    Sometimes we don't see much visible fruit, or past attempts to witness or minister were not outwardly successful and tempted to hold back our witness or cut back our service. God's words to Paul Acts 18:5-11 are just the prescription.

    Be Brave, Speak and Don’t Give Up! Series: Acts Chuck Sligh August 6, 2017 TEXT: Please turn in your Bibles to Acts 18:5-11 – “And when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus was Christ. 6 And when they opposed themselves, ...read more

    The Outsiders

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Oct 20, 2011
     | 6,610 views

    Are we mindful of how we come across to unbelievers? Are we aware of how the unchurched look at those who call themselves Christians? It would serve us well to gain a better understanding about how important it is to present ourselves in the right way.

    THE OUTSIDERS INTRODUCTION: We come to church and we’re mostly surrounded by “insiders” people who are Christians like us but how much consideration do we give to those who are still outside? Are we mindful of how we come across to unbelievers? Do we care how we present ...read more

     | 3,021 views

    We all feel the pain and loss when mourning the death of a loved one. But God knows that there are people who are mourning in a different way. There are those who are mourning for this lost world and those who have not accepted the salvation that only

    "Freedom In A Prison Cell"

    Contributed by Ken Sauer on May 4, 2010
    based on 10 ratings
     | 8,105 views

    Are we able to rejoice, even when the times get rough? Or does our faith depend on everything “going our way?” There is a cotton-candy like view of Christianity that promises all health and wealth, but it melts away when reality strikes.

    Acts 16:16-34 “Freedom in a Prison Cell” There is a lot to be learned from the example of Christians who live in third-world countries, and don’t have the freedom we might often take for granted. Will Willimon tells the story of a Bishop from Angola who came to visit America a ...read more
