    Paralysis By Analysis

    Contributed by Jack Warford on Apr 13, 2001
    based on 104 ratings
     | 4,630 views

    Many churches today have a paralysis brought on by analysis; they are so busy gathering and reporting numbers that their lambs and sheep are not being fed, and their flock is not being cared for. Resulting in spiritual paralysis.

    Why are we so fixated on counting numbers? Why do most pastors think of success as it relates to numbers? Nowhere in the Bible does Jesus tell us to count the sheep. He tells Peter if you love Me then you will feed my lambs, care for my sheep, and feed my sheep. Many churches today have a ...read more

    Welcome to Father’s Day 2003. This is a great day to reflect on being a father, having a father, or being a witness to the value of a father in the life of children whether you had a father or not.

    This account recorded by Mark, is a wonderful demonstration of the power of God to cleanse and forgive men and women, who have sunken to the darkest depths of sin. Transformed from being a demoniac to being an evangelist.

    FROM THE GRAVEYARD TO THE MISSION FIELD • INTRO: • This account recorded by Mark, is a wonderful demonstration of the power of God to cleanse and forgive men and women, who have sunken to the darkest depths of sin. • Let’s take a closer look at this account, and learn ...read more

    The way we were or how church was meant ot be, had the key foundation of being gospel Sharing. You can also listen on line at www.preaching.co.nr

    When we look at the size of the early church in the upper room (about 120 people) and read of the many thousands of people who were added to that church - 3000, 5000 people in such a short period of time, it was amazing and clearly something only God could do. Something I believe we can dare to ...read more

    “I don’t have time.” “Be there in a minute!”...If you have used any of these or similar type statements, you know the experience of being in the TRAP – Time Restraints And Pressures

    Text: Verse 10 (The Message): "Figure out what will please Christ then do it." Last sermon I shared an overview of what stewardship is. Stewardship lesson one: everything we have belongs to God - God has given us the honor and responsibility to manage his property, finances and affairs. ...read more

    Obey The Gospel

    Contributed by David Owens on Mar 6, 2019
     | 7,947 views

    How does a person become a Christian? When is the moment when they move from being lost to being saved? What is the Gospel? How does a person "obey the gospel"?

    A. I want to start with a true story: Jorge Rodriquez was new to our country and did not speak English. 1. He had no lawyer the day he appeared in court for hitting a parked car while driving drunk. 2. He went before the judge with what he thought was his “trump card.” 3. Rodriquez approached ...read more

    Who Will Roll Away The Stone? (Easter Sunrise 2015)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Apr 6, 2022
     | 2,030 views

    We seem to need the evidence of the stone being rolled away before we will believe. Is our fear creating distance between who we are and who God wants us to be?

    WHO WILL ROLL AWAY THE STONE? Text: Mark 16:1- 20 Did you notice who saw Jesus first? Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Salome were wondering who would roll the stone away. That stone can be thought of as a metaphor---a barrier between belief and unbelief. As ...read more

    Counting The Cost

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Jun 23, 2022
     | 2,616 views

    Jesus did not sugarcoat it when He was pointing out that following Him would not be a bed of roses! Being a disciple could not be and cannot be taken lightly because being a disciple is to be totally committed!

    COUNTING THE COST Text: Luke 9:57 -62 Luke 9:57  As they were going along the road, someone said to him, "I will follow you wherever you go." 58  And Jesus said to him, "Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his ...read more

    Kingdom Of Heaven [part 3] Series

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Jul 15, 2015
    based on 2 ratings
     | 5,130 views

    As individuals and as a church where do we stand when it comes to being the leaven? Are we pursuing to build a strong communion with Jesus Christ or being lured by the leaven of legalism, liberalism and materialism?

    Introduction: This passage/verse may seem tricky because that was doubtless the reaction of the disciples when they heard this little story. Our Lord arrested them with this story and shocked them somewhat. When he told them that there was a woman who hid leaven in three measures of meal they must ...read more

    Guidelines For Christianity: Blessed Are The Pure In Heart Series

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Mar 26, 2015
     | 5,181 views

    Purity isn’t just being clean; it’s being single-minded and intentionally focused. In this instance, God wants us to be focused on His kingdom and righteousness.

    Tonight we’re going to look at the next attitude Jesus said we’re to have as His disciples. – “Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.” I wonder what that means, for they shall see God. Remember we said that “Blessed” means happy. We ...read more

    "you Don't Have To Go To Church To Be A Christian" Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Oct 7, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,501 views

    This common reason for not coming to church shows two fundamental misunderstandings: 1) what is a Christian and 2) what is church. Help someone see that being a Christian means being part of a church.

    People are not going to church as much as they used to. I could give you the statistics, but I don’t think that I need to because you’ve probably personally observed or experienced it yourself. You may have seen it with your own family members, your co-workers, your friends, in the conversations ...read more

    Do Not Envy

    Contributed by Jimmy Haile on Oct 13, 2015
     | 7,704 views

    What happens to us so many times is we look around at other people and they are not living right, they are rude, selfish, and disobedient to God and to the laws of this Country but they are being successful, being prosperous!

    Psalm 37:1-7-A Psalm of David. Do not fret because of evildoers, Nor be envious of the workers of iniquity. 2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, And wither as the green herb. 3 Trust in the LORD, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. 4 Delight yourself ...read more

    What's our problem? At its foundation, it's being lost. Being in a fallen world. Choosing rebellion over faith and obedience. But God has an answer.
