    "He Sought To Seek Jesus" (Series) By Dr. Winson Butler

    Contributed by Winson Butler on Feb 15, 2005
    based on 7 ratings
     | 2,079 views

    Most Christains try cleaning Fish before they catch Fish. Even Jesus knew there are steps to take when winning the lost. Let’s examine it together!

    Introduction With so few Christians actively sharing their faith, we may never get back to the heart of the mission of the Church. Winning the lost. How it happened I can’t be sure, many are too often preoccupied with cleaning fish rather than catching fish. We want to look good as if that meant ...read more

     | 7,116 views

    This is the 5th study in the study "Hope In The Darkness". This study looks at how we should live our lives before the world so they may find Christ.

    LIVING IN THE WORLD 1 Peter 2:11-25 1 Peter 2:11-12 It should be no surprise to Christians that we are one of the main reasons lost people have no interest in Jesus Christ and the fact that He can save them. Why is this true? It is because of the way we live our lives in front of the world. ...read more

    Before Christ would go to the Cross, he brought words of comfort to his disciples. He reminded them of his flag, his family, and his faith.

    Title: “The Green Green Grass of Home” Introduction: Someone sent me a picture that is the center frame for this message. It was a photograph of an American soldier in Iraq. He was kneeling in front of his tent, trimming a small piece of grass that he had grown on the dessert floor. ...read more

    Looking for some last-minute gifts to give in these last days before Christmas? The Lord has some gift ideas for you: The Perfect Body, and the Perfect Vacation.

    Advent 4 Hebrews 10:5-10 It’s crunch time now. Once church gets out, you will have three and a half days to finish your Christmas shopping. Maybe all of your shopping is done. But I’m willing to guess there are a few of you out there who have some names on your list that are still present-less. ...read more

    Are You Justified By Faith, Or By Works?

    Contributed by Charles Degner on Oct 23, 2006
    based on 2 ratings
     | 5,028 views

    This difficult chapter of the Bible is not hard to understand if you ask a simple question. James says we are justified by our works, not just by faith. But justified BEFORE WHOM?

    James 2:1-5, 8-10, 14-26 Pentecost 17B Rev. Charles F. Degner 1My brothers, as believers in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ, don’t show favoritism. 2Suppose a man comes into your meeting wearing a gold ring and fine clothes, and a poor man in shabby clothes also comes in. 3If you show ...read more

    A Better Way

     | 8,328 views

    We are constantly looking for a better way to do things. Let us think back to a time before Christ and how much better off we are now

    Hebrews 1:1-4 A BETTER WAY Introduction 1. In life we are always trying to find a better way to do something. This unending search has created many inventions. The Car, Computer, the cotton gin, most everything that was invented was to find a better way to do something 2. What did Jesus invent? ...read more

    A Pastoral Response To The Bombing In Bali Series

    Contributed by Cameron Horsburgh on Oct 20, 2002
    based on 18 ratings
     | 2,614 views

    The terrorist attack in Bali came a week before I was to preach on the subject of murder, and a National Day of Mourning was declared for that Sunday. God does work in mysterious ways...

    Over the last few weeks God has been showing me how his timing is always perfect. I became more convinced of this when I realised what sermon I had planned to preach today. In view of the events of the last week today’s passage seems to be the most appropriate in the Bible. The bombing in Bali ...read more

    God holds Christians responsible to ensure that they are prepared to worship before they approach His Table. We prepare through sharing our lives with our fellow believers.

    1 CORINTHIANS 11:27 WHATEVER WERE YOU THINKING? “Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty concerning the body and blood of the Lord.” “Whatever was he thinking?” That is the question on the minds of many people who read of the fall of ...read more

     | 9,405 views

    As Christians, we are to be continually ready for battle with the enemy. Truth, righteousness and confidence in our reconciled standing before God will give us the strength to stand ready for the battle.

    1. The first key to readiness is standing resolute before the enemy (6:14a) 2. The second key to readiness is standing righteous before the enemy (6:14b) 3. The third key to readiness is standing reconciled before the enemy (6:15) EPHESIANS 6:14-15 I read in the news that Russia tested some new ...read more

    Intro: Seven Deadly Sins Series

    Contributed by Stephen Funderburk on Feb 17, 2008
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,949 views

    before we do a study on the seven deadly sins, this is an introduction on what sin is, what sin does, and how sin can be taken care of in life

    Intro: you cannot do a serious study on the seven deadly sins without first doing an equally serious study on the meaning of sin. Defined it is the missing of God’s mark or the rejection of God’s commands. But beyond just a simple definition, we must research God’s Word to find out what sin is, ...read more

    Our love for Christ must always come before our work for Christ. Don’t be deluded by our own importance or our great service to God.

    It is good to know that the Lord walks among the churches. • The last verse of chapter 1 tells us the lamp-stands represent the churches. • He is present with us today. No matter how imperfect we are, He is here. • He has a word for every church, each according to their needs. We will look at ...read more

    Power

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jun 2, 2007
    based on 5 ratings
     | 13,857 views

    The one necessary ingredient for effective service before the Lord is power. This is what few contemporary Christians have, perhaps because they are uncertain what they should look for.

    You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth. When the disciples came down from the upper room, an impossible task loomed before them. They were charged to announce that Jesus ...read more

    Good for Father’s Day or Children’s Day. Children have God-ordained spiritual rights. Adults have a responsibility before God to fulfill them.

    A Child’s Bill of Rights Psalm 127:3-5 Matthew 18:5,6 Introduction: A father is God’s physical representative in the home. It is the responsibility of the father (and the mother to a lesser degree) to be an example of God before his children. If a father gives a misrepresentation of God, his ...read more

    It doesn’t take long at this dinner party before the chaos breaks out, this time through the surprising appearance of Mary, pouring a ludicrously expensive jar of perfume.

    We’re turning to John’s Gospel today, which, quite frankly, is a little unnerving for me, as I find John’s Gospel more difficult to deal with than the other three John retells the story of Jesus in such a way that things are rarely as they appear to be. Jesus speaks of being born ’from above’ and ...read more
