Fraternal Correction With Integrity And Love

Contributed by Paul Andrew on Aug 2, 2017

Jesus is saying that we are not to be only concerned with someone’s material well- being but also for their moral and spiritual good. Hebrews 13:17 says to “watch over souls as one who will give an account.”

23A “For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them."-- This verse from Matthew’s Gospel for today reminds me of a story of a pastor of a small Baptist church in a drought-stricken part of Alabama last summer who implored his people to pray for rain.

Contributed by Fr. Rian Adams on Apr 6, 2020

First Sunday in Lent. The sermon is about how our temptations in life can give us information about ourselves, and the world.

A Glimpse Of The Holy

Contributed by W Pittendreigh on Feb 2, 2008

A sermon on the Transfiguration - with an answer as to why people sit on the back row in churches.

Look at where most of you are sitting. The back row of the church is the most popular seat in the sanctuary. The person who sits close to the front is either very brave – or is the wife of the Senior Pastor. I like to go to sporting events, and I don’t ever remember going to any event ...read more

Contributed by Lynn Malone on Oct 8, 2015

Facebook is for connecting with "friends," but the friends we have on Facebook are rarely friends at all, at least not the type that change our lives.

The first in a series on choices. This sermon introduces the concept of choosing to live a life led by the Spirit or the flesh.

There are many freedoms that we enjoy today. Living in the United States, we embellish ourselves in the joys of freedom.

The Call To Rebuild

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Aug 19, 2021

God is calling the church to rebuild after the Corona Virus pandemic lock-downs. But amidst the challenges, it takes uncommon trust and surrender to tackle what God is asking. This message can be re-worked for a building program.

Someone once said, “Build. Destroy. Rebuild. I’ve mastered the art of bouncing back. Now, to master the art of not having to” (Dau Voire). This is probably how a lot of us feel. We’re tired of striving and struggling, and we’re tired of having to rebuild. But rebuilding is necessary in order ...read more

Repairing The Altar Of The Lord

Contributed by Bishop Prof. Julius Soyinka on Jul 29, 2015

An honest look at the condition of the church in many places today reveals weakness, lethargy, and decline. In many places the fires of revival and renewal have dimmed, or have been greatly hindered by the encroachments of sin, the flesh and the devil.

REPAIRING THE ALTAR OF THE LORD Study Text: 1Kings 18: 30 - 39 Introduction: - The trouble in many churches is not the Pastor or the program.

Construction Site Or Warzone?

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Aug 25, 2021

God is calling the church to rebuild after the Corona Virus pandemic lock-downs. Any church that rebuilds becomes a construction site, which is a warzone for spiritual battle. This message can be re-worked for a building program.

Last week I mentioned how I believe that God is calling us to rebuild our fellowship after a series of setbacks. This means that our church is currently sitting smack dab in the middle of a spiritual construction site. I remember how I once pastored a church where we built a multipurpose ...read more
