    The Message Of The Church Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Russell on Mar 7, 2011
    based on 8 ratings
     | 11,888 views

    This sermon examines what the message of the church should consist of.

    * The "real" message a church sends determines that church’s reputation - If always bickering and fighting, the message is sent: "We don’t like each other...or you." - If always doing things for self, the message is sent: "It’s all about us, not you." - If never reaching out, the message is sent: ...read more

    This message calls the church, collectively and individually, to be "up to date" in their mission of reaching people.

    “A Church for Today” 1 Corinthians 9:19-24 * Among the church culture in America it has become common to identify local churches with some troubling terms; “Contemporary or Traditional.” Why do I say these terms are troubling? Because the meaning of these words in this context has little to do ...read more

    Church - Vision Or Memories?

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Nov 1, 2006
    based on 14 ratings
     | 4,249 views

    To keep impacting those outside the church for Jesus, we must keep the vision we were given, and not replace that vision with the memories of yesterday. Nor can we replace our calling with our comfort.

    I know that many of us are planning on helping out at the Leukemia Benefit right after church for 3-year old Christian Bentley, so I am going to offer a shorter message this morning so we can get up there on time. There are some who might not understand why we cut our sermons a little short for ...read more

    A sermon for a time of pastoral change.

    “New Adventures” Jeremiah 29:11-14a When the people of Israel were exiled into Babylon, everything they knew was turned inside out – their homes, their families, even their worship.

    The Church Is Prevailing

    based on 2 ratings
     | 10,588 views

    With so many scandals inside the Church and attacks from outside the Church, we can sometimes wonder if the Church will survive. Jesus promises that His Church will prevail! And as it prevails, we prevail, too.

    Opening Remarks and Introduction In the past few years, Christian churches have been rocked by problems both inside and outside the church. In 2017, we saw a shooting at a church in Sutherland Springs, and recently a mega-church in town hit the news recently with one youth worker and some of ...read more

    Amid The Flood

    Dramatic monologue as if Martin Luther were the preacher, telling his own story. Time period is the Wartburg stay; focus is on hope and trust in a changing world, "amid the flood" of change.

    [Backstage] Walled up here in this fortress, kept practically as a prisoner, prevented from teaching, prohibited from preaching, what good am I? What can I accomplish in such a place? I was not born for idleness, nor for solitude. I was born for action. I was destined by Him who holds in His ...read more

    Our church, like many churches, is in need of some repair much like the walls of Jerusalem. Nehemiah’s rebuilding began with reliance on God, repentance from sin, and risking obedience.

    January 4, 2004 Nehemiah 1 “The state of the church” INTRODUCTION It’s a new year. And that means that it is time for evaluation. One of the things that gets evaluated the most at the beginning of the new year is a person’s weight. My family and I just got back Friday from my ...read more

    The Church continued to grow

    The Active Church Acts 5:12-28 A little over thirteen years ago, the Elder Board of Living Faith Fellowship asked me to write an essay on my ideal Church.

    In our spiritual lives we must sacrifice some things in order to see spiritual change.

    Have you ever had to give up something that you really, really loved? Something that had a hold on you, and you had a hold on it. I mean this was something you went to bed dreaming about, and woke up in the morning smiling at just the thought of it. Something that had been a part of your life ...read more

    Christians are called to be witnesses to the ends of the earth and to make disciples of all nations. No person or group of people is excluded from God’s love and God’s desire to have them participate in God’s kingdom.

    Acts 10:1-23 “A Community for Everyone” INTRODUCTION We conclude our examination of the early Church and the early Christians this Sunday. Our brief study has been both exciting and empowering.

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,749 views

    In Acts 12. we see the power that's at our disposal if we will seek God in intercessory prayer. Peter was going to be executed the next morning, but because Christians prayed, God sent an angel. He'll do it today if we pray! This message will preach!

    THE POWER OF A PRAYING CHURCH Acts 12:1-17 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: WHERE JESUS WAS BORN 1. A backwoods Texan asked a woman to marry him and she said, “We can’t get married unless you’re a Christian.” So he went to a Catholic church and said he wanted to join. 2.
