"Faiths Sweet Fragrance"

Contributed by Charlie Roberts on May 25, 2015

When no one else would offer her hope...she somehow had heard about the hope that Jesus could not only offer but extend to her as well. And that amazing hope and the story of the gospel took seed in her life and begin to grow…

Faiths Sweet Fragrance Luke 7:36-50 MSG 36-39 One of the Pharisees asked him over for a meal. He went to the Pharisee’s house and sat down at the dinner table. Just then a woman of the village, the town harlot, having learned that Jesus was a guest in the home of the Pharisee, came with a ...read more

What Does It Mean To Count The Cost Series

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jun 30, 2013

A look at what it means to "count the cost" and why that's so essential. This message calls down the cheap gospel presentations that we so often make that have no mention in them of what it actually means to follow Jesus.

CHEAP FAITH: Too often we offer salvation that’s straight from the discount bin. - Luke 14:28-32. - Our approach to evangelism is too often to present salvation as a low-cost, no-commitment offer. All you need to do is say you believe in Jesus! That’s it! There’s no mention of the need for ...read more

The Gospel writers significant theme was Jesus, the humble man from Nazareth is the Saviour of the world, who was called Jesus to refer that he will save his people from their sins(Matthew 1:21). I would like to share three points on Saviour.

The Coming Of The King Series

Contributed by Steve Malone on Jan 6, 2022

Matthew kicks off his Gospel with his genealogy, because he wants everyone (including us today) to know that Jesus is the Christ, the son of David... the King! And as King Jesus has - the authority to speak, the power to rule, the desire to include and the right to reward.

The Coming Of The King Matthew 1:1-17 OKAY MG – welcome to church! Welcome to a gathering of people… • Whose past is forgiven • Whose future forever in heaven is secure, and • Whose present is all about, pursuing Jesus and the life He created us to live!

Jesus Christ: The Great Evangelist, Part 1

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jan 6, 2022

In the fourth chapter of John's Gospel, the Lord Jesus is presented as the Great Evangelist. From the time He won Nathaniel (John 1:48-51) to the thief on the cross (Luke 23:39-43), He was busy bringing sinners to Himself.

In Chapter 4 of his Gospel, John has us turn our attention to the Lord Jesus as the Master Soul-Winner and our example for sharing the good news of salvation to everyone regardless of background, culture, nationality, or any circumstance. No one is exempt from hearing and receiving the message ...read more

Jesus Christ: The Great Evangelist, Part 2

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jan 11, 2022

The Lord Jesus went out of His way to bring the Gospel to an anonymous woman. Her life was one of sin and isolation from others. Despite her attitude and resistance, she was won over to the grace and mercy of God. We are to follow His example.

No one is to be neglected or avoided when it comes to presenting the Good News of salvation found only in the Lord Jesus Christ (John 14:6; Acts 4:12; 1 John 2:1-2). As we read through the fourth chapter of John's Gospel, we see how Jesus went out of HIs way to give this offer of redemption ...read more

Minsitry Of Paul At Athens Series

Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Jun 17, 2021

Paul was greatly distressed seeing full of idols in the city of Athens. His thirst for the souls motivated him to pray, observe and share the gospel despite the previous experiences of imprisonment and persecution. Paul won the hearts of few men who became followers of Christ.

Acts 17:16-34 Ministry of Paul at Athens 17:16-21 Paul’s Distress 17:22-31 Paul’s Discourses 17:32-34 Mixed responses to Paul’s preaching 7:16-21 Paul’s Distress Paul was greatly distressed seeing full of idols in the city of Athens.

We Have No King But Caesar

Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Mar 20, 2018

The passion narrative of Jesus, His last 2 weeks is full of detail with theology mixed up with history and politics - indeed a third of each gospel is devoted to the passion of Jesus. Every time you read or hear the account something new hits you.

We have no king but Caesar John 19:15 Today is Passion Sunday, the 1st day of a period of 2 weeks when we focus our thoughts on the arrest, trial, death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. As we know this is a very significant period in the life of Jesus, the climax of His ministry which ...read more

The Final Hours Of The Lord Jesus - From Gethsemane To Golgotha Series

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jul 19, 2021

Chapters 14-15 of Mark's Gospel gives us an account of the final hours in Jesus' life as he faced hostility, mockery, torment, and the agony that would be placed upon Him as He stayed on the cross for the sake of our sins.

It was not long after the Lord Jesus presented His prophetic discourse on the Mount of Olives that the drama of the crucifixion began to fall into place. At what is referred to as the "Last Supper", He told His disciples that the bread and wine they had consumed was a symbol of His ...read more

Clothed And In His Right Mind – Released And Free Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 17, 2022

He lurked in the tombs of dead men and rushed out uncontrollably. This naked, demonic man scared all around but once delivered by Jesus he was a new creation, clothed and in his right mind. He became a witness for the gospel. This is an interesting study of the man.

CLOTHED AND IN HIS RIGHT MIND – RELEASED AND FREE UNDERSTANDING THE DEMONIC VERSE 27 {{Luke 8:26-27 “They sailed to the country of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee, Luke 8:27 and when He had come out onto the land, He was met by a certain man from the city who was possessed with demons ...read more

Liars Or Living Letters? (1994)

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Oct 20, 2022

Christian speech involves kindness, purity and truth as the three elements of godly speech for Christians. Take away any of those three and you are in danger of being a liar when the Bible makes it clear that we are to be living letters for the sake of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

LIARS OR LIVING LETTERS? Text: Colossians 3:5-9a In the Walt Disney movie "Pinnochio" there is a scene where Pinnochio's nose grows every time he tells a lie. And the point of that scene is that the more you lie, the more you have to lie to make all your ...read more

Transformed By Christ

Contributed by Mark Lindsey on Aug 15, 2022

Many people who do not know the way to salvation are kept from hearing the gospel because of the prejudice of certain believers. As God's people, we need to be renewed by Christ so we can love people as God loves people.

“TRANSFORMED BY CHRIST” ACTS 10:24-48 This Summer, we have watched the early church grow from its birth on the Day of Pentecost when 3,000 people were saved. In Acts 4, 5,000 more people come to faith in Christ as Savior as the church enjoys its fellowship together. But, then come trouble. One ...read more

The All-Caring Compassionate Lord – John 14 V 15 To 21 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 24, 2022

The night before the cross was a long night and Jesus instructed His disciples for hours. He promised the Holy Spirit and explained the closeness of the Spirit's ministry in the lives of the disciples (and us). A most touching passage of John's Gospel.

THE ALL-CARING COMPASSIONATE LORD – John 14 v 15 to 21 [A]. INTRODUCTION: It is important today we place our passage in context.

Reasoning In Righteousness

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Dec 1, 2022

The Lord Jesus told His followers to go out and preach the Gospel to every living creature (Mark 16:15). That means using of Scripture, thought, reason, and logic under the guidance of the Holy Spirit to show people the need to turn to Christ for salvation.

In today's butchery of the English language where emojis are used more than words to share information and ideas, I think that it is time for all of us to get off the machines for a few moments and learn something from the great men of God whose counsel and wisdom have been forgotten. We ...read more
