    A church has both an internal and an external ministry. We must be balanced and not self-absorbed.

    A CHURCH THAT STEPS OUT Acts 5:12-16 John Tung, 4-22-07 I. Introduction The church should pray for people in crisis situations. The church should also pray for people in non-crisis situations, but certainly we as a church should also be praying for people who are in crisis situations. And that’s ...read more

    Without a doubt this was and is the most difficult message which I have ever had to prepare and deliver. It’s speaks of change, confrontation, call, an challenge.

    State of the Church 2008 Hebrews 12:1-2 Turn with me to Hebrews 12. Before we read the first two verses of Hebrews 12, we need to be reminded that Hebrews 11 gives us what has been referred to as “Faith’s Hall of Fame.” Here are some great men and women of faith listed with the 2 words “by faith” ...read more

     | 4,557 views

    The challenge for the church is not what we do when we call our Sunday morning huddle, but what we do when we break our huddle ... When Satan lines up against us, what difference does it make that we are Christians?

    Opening illustration: The job of the church is not to impact the church, but to impact the world. It’s like a huddle in a football game. 67,000 people don’t pay $25.00 a ticket to watch the Titans huddle. What if you went to a Titans game and for 2½ hours you watched 11 men stand in a circle and ...read more

     | 13,269 views

    While there are a number of preaching patterns to follow, I keep coming back to a simple outline I first learned some forty years ago. It goes like this – Hook, Book, Look and Took.

    The Sermon that Launched the Church Acts 2:14-41 Rev. Brian Bill October 12-13, 2019 I’ll never forget what happened when it was my turn to preach in my first homiletics class at Moody. I stood up, nervously cleared my throat, and apologized for the corny illustration I was about to use for the ...read more

    The Church Of The Half Gospel

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 8, 2026
     | 34 views

    Discipleship begins where control ends. Trust is revealed not by belief, but by movement

    Introduction We live in a time that prizes manageability above almost everything else. We want lives that are controllable, predictable, and efficient. We value systems that reduce friction and minimize risk. We are constantly offered ways to simplify what feels demanding, streamline what feels ...read more

    Overcoming Cliques In The Church PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 28, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 89 views

    The sermon calls believers to reject favoritism and embrace Christlike love, welcoming all as equals in God’s family regardless of status or background.

    Sometime between the handshake at the door and the last hymn, most of us have felt it—the little nudge to measure people by pocketbooks or pedigrees, by what they drive or where they sit. Maybe you’ve been on the other side of that glance. You walked into a room, and before you spoke a word, you ...read more

    Peter had been raised to believe one thing only to find it wasn’t true. Peter had always thought God was an exclusive God, for the Jews only, that Gentiles were second-class who didn’t deserve God’s attention like the Jews did.
But now, Peter sees h

    Independence Sunday 1987: We are called to be a distinctive people within American culture, not to follow popular self-centered idolatries.

    The trouble with going to Ridgecrest conference center for a week is that you tend to forget how diverse a nation we are. If you were to spend too long at a place like Ridgecrest, you would get to thinking that everybody was Baptist, and Baptist of the southern variety, that everybody gobbled ...read more

    Trying To Change Society By Moral Improvement Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Oct 22, 2025
     | 263 views

    This is a difficult passage but at its core it's one that posits what happens when someone tries to bring transformation without God.

    WHAT'S THE POINT OF THE STORY? It is about moral improvement without God. - Luke 11:24-26. - Let’s begin by acknowledging that this is a difficult passage. It comes across a little obscure. It’s easy to read it and think it’s either just a weird saying or something with no application to our ...read more

     | 17,639 views

    In our modern culture, the way of salvation is under challenge within and without the church. This sermon addresses this important issue.

    Why Jesus is the only Way to salvation. In our post modern culture, the question frequently arises, “Why do you say Jesus is the only way?” or “Who are you to say Jesus is the only way?” We can expect the culture to ask questions like this, but in the last few years the Christian church itself has ...read more
