    A sermon designed to motivate complacent Christians to become more committed and involved in the church.

    Introduction: When I was a kid growing up on the farm, one of the annual jobs I always looked forward to was the "chicken harvest."

    It probably surprises you to learn that a book like Revelation begins with the word blessed. How in the world can this prophetic book make us happy? Revelation makes Christ’s Church happy because it reminds us that our King is on His throne.

    “Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it; for the time is near. John, to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace to you and peace from Him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven Spirits who are ...read more

    What America needs is not more religion, but servants of the Most High God who will serve, proclaim and energize the Church.

    based on 10 ratings
     | 4,748 views

    Jesus died for the church, wherein we find our greatest selves.

    Jesus and the Church For hours on a spring day, Jesus hung on the Roman cross, jeered at by those of his nation- the Jews- and Gentile Romans, alike. Those who had sought him during his ministry turned on him. He was abandoned by those too fearful to be identified with him. His closest friends ran ...read more

    We have a problem today. Our body is missing parts. We have hands and feet, eyes and ears, arms and legs that are missing from this body.

    We have a problem today. Our body is missing parts. We have hands and feet, eyes and ears, arms and legs that are missing from this body. (Eph 5:25 NKJV) Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, The Church is a BODY. It is a body that has parts ...read more

  • The Church - A Family

    Contributed by Troy Harkey on Apr 16, 2003
    based on 101 ratings
     | 35,271 views

    When we think of the church, we most often think of a place like this where we come to worship and to study and be taught God’s Word, but before the church was the institution, as we know it today, the church was a family.

    THE CHURCH – A FAMILY (Mat 12:47-50) 47, Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee. 48, But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren? 49, And he stretched forth his hand toward his ...read more

    based on 178 ratings
     | 33,205 views

    I have had many supporting churches, as a missionary, that the word “lighthouse” was a part of their name. The Bible makes it very clear that we as a church body are to be a lighthouse to the world.

    THE CHURCH – A LIGHTHOUSE This will be our final message in this series on the church. (Mark 16:15 NKJV) And He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. (Mat 5:14-16 NKJV) "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. {15} ...read more

     | 19,272 views

    To take a quote from last Sunday, one writer has said, “We are all healers who can reach out and offer health, and we are all patients in constant need of help.”

    THE CHURCH IS A HOSPITAL (Isa 61:1 KJV) The spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; (Isa ...read more

  • The Church At Ephesus Series

    Contributed by David Taylor on Apr 26, 2003
    based on 48 ratings
     | 12,753 views

    The Lord had three things to commend this church for, but the rebuke brought focus to the very real problem of loosing your love for Christ.

    As I believe the Lord is leading, it is imperative for us to consider exactly what type of church Jesus desires to have. While opinions and ideas could, and probably would run rampant concerning that topic, there is one place the answer may be clearly found. That is in God’s Word. While many ...read more
