    Cell Groups - What are they? Cells are seen to be the basic building blocks of a church, just as cells are the basic building blocks of life. They are 'small living things with an aim to grow and multiply!

    Mayor Gerardo Balmori The Salvation Army Cell Groups - What are they? Cells are seen to be the basic building blocks of a church, just as cells are the basic building blocks of life.

  • Feeling Small, Walking Tall Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 24, 2022
    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,631 views

    Small congregations might feel ineffective at reaching people, but big things come in small packages. Both the parable of "the mustard seed" and "the yeast" show how small, seemingly insignificant things can make a huge impact.

    The passage of Scripture that we will view tonight contains two short parables – “The Mustard Seed” and “The Yeast.” I have entitled our sermon “Feeling Small, Walking Tall,” and the passage that we’ll be studying provides a great opportunity for sharing a motivational message. You are probably ...read more

    Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Mar 4, 2024
     | 821 views

    The 1st church scattered under persecution – but they were not defeated – nor were they afraid! They had a drive to proclaim what Jesus had done outside their safe place, exactly as Jesus said they would.

    To the Ends of the Earth, Part 10 The Results of the First Church’s Persecution Acts 8:1-25 Dismiss children for nursery (under 4) and children’s church (ages 4-7) No Wed night for adults this week – resuming Mar 13th! (Ecclesiastes) Introduction - Welcome to Seasons Church & 2024 ...read more

  • A Lesson In Divine Providence Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,107 views

    The early church was on fire for God, but it did have its share of problems and opposition. It was how they handled those problems that made them attractive to a lost and dying world.

    A Lesson in Divine Providence Acts 5:12-42 Introduction There was never a dull moment around First Church of Jerusalem! Pentecost came in a blaze of glory. Healings occurred around the city. There were lessons on hypocrisy. The wave of power was building within the Church to a great ...read more

    Philadelphia

    Philadelphia: The Faithful Church Rev 3:7-13 The Christian race is not a competitive event to see who comes in first, but an endurance run to see who finishes faithfully. It?s like the experience of Bill Broadhurst, who entered the Pepsi Challenge 10,000-meter road race in Omaha, Nebraska. Ten ...read more

  • Church And State Series

    Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 23, 2021
     | 2,474 views

    What separation does mean is that all true religious faith is a matter of free choice, and so no state power can ever be rightly used to enforce faith or any religious conviction.

    Until every knee bows and every tongue confesses that Jesus Christ is Lord, the abuse of power will be a major cause of human suffering. When the country of Chad in Africa became independent in 1960 the Christian missionaries were delighted that the first President was a Baptist. Tambolboye was ...read more

     | 846 views

    The main point of this sermon is to recognize and embrace the unique gifts given by the Holy Spirit to each member of the Church, in order to function well as a divine organism and enjoy the benefits of a healthy, vibrant community.

    Good morning, church family! I am so excited to share with you all today about the gifts that our amazing God has given to us, His Church. We'll be diving into 1 Corinthians 12:7, where Paul writes, "Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good." Now, I know that we ...read more

  • The Foundation Of The Church

    Contributed by Jeffrey Sims on May 29, 2025
     | 594 views

    This sermon looks at the establishment of the church and looks at what a firm foundation should look like. It should make you think "Am I doing my part"

    Introduction Today, we’re going to look at a passage of Scripture that reveals the foundation of the church and the assurance we have in Jesus’ promise. Let’s open our Bibles to Matthew 16:18. In this verse, Jesus makes a declaration: "And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I ...read more

  • Do You Want The Church To Grow?

    Contributed by Fr. Rian Adams on Jan 20, 2020
     | 2,577 views

    This is a sermon on evangelism that is tied to Jesus's call to the apostle Andrew. Andrew 1) grows in discipleship and 2) grows the church. The sermon tells people that they can be excited and happy about their faith, and share it with other people.

    Do you want the church to grow? Andrew wasn’t the popular kid in class. His name is only mentioned in twelve verses in the Bible, and eight of those describe him as "Peter's little brother." Even though he was one of the first two or three followers of Jesus, Peter was still the ...read more

    Thyratira

    Thyratira: The Corrupted Church Rev 2:18-29 It?s interesting to note that the longest letter is written to the smallest city mentioned in these chapters. What is happening here that had John so upset? He was upset because this church had allowed the worst possible congregational sin; unopposed ...read more

    This is the second in a series of three sermons taken from Wayne Schmidt's book, "Ministry Velocity: The Power for Leadership Momentum" as it related to us moving from a rented facility toward the purchase of a dedicated worship facility.

    Momentum Scripture: Joshua 3 The momentum is building - no pun intended. Can you feel it? Today, we’re going to talk about momentum. Here’s a definition of momentum from Wikpedia: In classical mechanics, linear momentum or translational momentum is the product of the mass and ...read more

  • A Profitable Endeavor

     | 5,400 views

    Many today seek the latest method for spiritual renewal among the church, and church growth. There are countless new conferences, books, and blog articles annually. While I appreciate the hunger for growth, I fear we have over-complicated the matter.

    A Profitable Endeavor Acts 8: 5-8 Our text today deals with a time of great excitement for the early church, and yet there was great uncertainty as well. Stephen had been stoned for preaching the Gospel. Saul continued to persecute the church, scattering them throughout the world, but they ...read more

    The type of lives we live dictate the impact we have on the unchurched.

    FOCAL POINT: A VIBRANT CHURCH ME: So, I am really not a fan of bland food. When I eat food, I want it to taste good. I want it to wake up my senses, I want to be like, yeah this is awesome. And there are just some foods that need to be seasoned so that they wake up your senses. You know, like ...read more

    (TAB) Have you ever been betrayed by someone you love? When I think of betrayal I think of a scene in one of my favorite movies – (TAB) Braveheart. William Wallace (played by Mel Gibson) is fighting for Scotland to be free from the tyranny of England. Their only hope is if all the Scottish ...read more
