    Motivating The Complacent Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 7, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,168 views

    When a ministry grows, there will be those who will hear of the great harvest taking place; but when they see the work that it entails, they will wait for someone else to do the job, hoping to benefit from the hard work of others.

    When we communicate a compelling vision for our church and community, we will start seeing people join our fellowship. They will hear of the blessings of the Promised Land and want to become a part of it; however, not everyone will partake of the rewards. It won’t just happen automatically ...read more

    Are you willing to go when the Lord asks? Even when you know the job is hard? Would you go to preach to people who never wanted to hear you in the first place? That is exactly what Isaiah did.

    Send Me 30 May 2021 Richardson The truth hurts! Actually it really does. It’s documented that the truth hurts when it’s something you don’t want to hear. I read a really interesting article about how psychologists first studied this. In the early 50’s, Dorothy Martin, a Chicago homemaker ...read more

    Baptism: Identifying With Christ Series

     | 5,322 views

    This message views the symbol of baptism and looks at it piece by piece, in order to understand what it represents; which, in the end, will provide a fuller picture of how we’re supposed to live our life for Jesus Christ.

    This morning I’m going to be preaching on baptism and have us look at its symbolism; and I want to begin with an illustration. If you have a wedding ring on right now, then take a look at it. “Baptism is like a wedding ring. Both symbolize transactions. A wedding ring symbolizes marriage, just ...read more

    Why Do We Need Jesus As Our Shepherd?

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Mar 1, 2021
     | 2,320 views

    Shepherds were known for their devotion to the sheep in their care. This parable illustrates Jesus's love for us as the shepherd of our souls who laid down His life for us. His sheep follow Him because they know His voice.

    John 10:1 - 10:  “Very truly, I tell you, anyone who does not enter the sheepfold by the gate but climbs in by another way is a thief and a bandit. 2 The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep hear his ...read more

    God wants us to keep moving forward for Jesus Christ. Here's how to do it: 1. Recognize the magnitude of our mission (vs. 19-21). 2. Help strengthen the souls of the disciples (vs. 21-22). 3. Be on the lookout for new leaders (vs. 23).

     | 11,999 views

    The exodus marks the real beginning of the history of Israel as a people and a nation. It tells the story of Israel’s continued struggle with sin and obedience. Despite all of this, God chose them for a special role and sticks with them

    The Exodus Exodus 14:21-31 At the end of Genesis, Egypt and Palestine were in the grips of a famine and Joseph had been reunited with his father, Jacob, and his brothers after they came to Egypt to buy food.

    Discipling is a process over time that involves many different people, many different settings and situations. And discipling generally begins in small groups and moves to the larger groups. Sometimes as small of groups as two people as it did with me.

    Back to the Basics - Discipling ME As I sat down at my computer this week with thoughts of Discipling on my mind I could not help but think about my own. My own journey and the discipling of received as I become a Christian and after. When I was growing up my dad tried to be a good role model ...read more

     | 1,344 views

    What was so special about the church at Thessalonica? The people who attended it were TRULY SAVED.

    Someone might ask, “Is that not the case in all churches?” It would be good if it were true, but that is not the case. Some believe the greatest harvest field is within the four walls of their church because although the people may attend church, give to the church and associate mostly with ...read more
