    This sermon deals with personal and church wide failure as well as failure when trying to do a work for God.

    Have you ever heard the old saying, “If you fail to plan, then you may as well plan to fail.”

    I FEEL COMPLETELY INADEQUATE Luke 14:28-33 Have you ever heard the old saying, “If you fail to plan, then you may as well plan to fail.” This is a hard saying of Christ that makes it sound impossible to be able to one of his disciples.

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Mar 29, 2010
     | 4,172 views

    Prepared for Palm Sunday 2010 but also focusing on the Cross and beyond, this sermon affirms the fulfilment of prophecy on ’Palm’ Sunday and suggests that Jesus was fully prepared to fail in the eyes of the world, as he knew God would ultimately vindicate

    About six years ago a friend of mine said, “The trouble with being a leader today is that you can’t be sure whether people are following you or chasing you.” Jesus was in his early 30’s and he was heading towards Jerusalem (19:28). Three years of ministry had catapulted Jesus into the limelight. ...read more

    In the journey of life we want to run the race faithfully but we constantly find ourselves failing. However because we are put of the church we are able to fail well. To fail well requires is to fulfil our responsibility and accept our vulnerability.

    Message Galatians 6:1-10 Fail Well No-one wakes up in the morning … or at least I don’t know any Christians … who wake up and say, “God let’s make this day a day of failure.” You and me God – we can do this.

    God Uses The Unexpected

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 6, 2022

     | 6,536 views

    Many times those who are underestimated and considered failures go on to accomplish great things in society. The same principle is true in the kingdom. The Lord oftentimes uses people who are rejected to bring glory to His name.

    Once we are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, and as we come to know the Lord by spending time with Him, we will reach a point in our life where our love will overflow in a desire for service. It’s at this place that many believers come to a screeching halt. They look at themselves ...read more

    Defense Against Discouragement

    The children of Israel have just had a great victory and deliverance from Egypt. They crossed the Red Sea. They are praising the Lord for what He has done.

    In the Baptist churches alone, there are over 1,000 preachers a year that leave the ministry, why? There is no way of numbering the Christians that forsake Christ and His church, just simply give up and quit. Why is this going on? I think the main reason is because of discouragement. I think this ...read more
