The Church that Needed Courage Revelation 2:8-11 Let us not forget that as we continue this study that we can apply the letters to these churches three ways. These are literal churches.

Fourth in the "Back to the Basics" series, exploring the foundational beliefs of Christians. This sermon addresses the question, "What do Christians believe about the Body of Christ, the Church?"
This past week, someone brought to my attention a different kind of church. Travel a half-hour south of Dallas, Texas, and you’ll find the Cowboy Church of Ellis County. Based on the photographs they provide on their website, you’ve got a few choices if you want to lead worship at the Cowboy ...read more

We need to connect with the anointing. In other words, when you connect with people, their success becomes your success. When you connect with the anointing, you connect with God. The anointing brings unity to the Body
The Anointing In The Local Church We need to connect with the anointing. In other words, when you connect with people, their success becomes your success. When you connect with the anointing, you connect with God. God took one hundred and twenty faithful people on the Day of Pentecost and ...read more

Introduction: A. I like the story told of the man who was shipwrecked on a beautiful, deserted South Pacific island. 1. Five years later, he was discovered by a passing a naval ship. 2. Upon their arrival at the shore the rescue party was met by the shipwreck survivor. He said, “I'm so glad ...read more

Ninth in a series from Ephesians. The church should matter to us because it matters to God.
This week I came across an interesting quote that was recently posted on an internet blog by a lady who identified herself as “Eva”. Here it is, exactly as she wrote it: You are so right about the church today. We are a catholic family, but I can’t even remember the last time we went to church. My ...read more
Scripture: Ephesians 1:22-23
When a church possesses all the characteristics of a Spirit-filled church, it will attract new people to God and to the church
January 11, 2004 Acts 2:42-47 “The Spirit-filled church” INTRODUCTION Have you ever noticed how much time and energy we as a society spend on being attractive to one another? To get an idea, it only takes a quick trip into Wal-Mart. One very large section is labeled beauty aids. ...read more
Scripture: Acts 2:42-47
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

Denomination: Orthodox
Why did Jesus leave the church behind. We can worship Him and learn about him in heaven but there is one thing we can't do in heaven.
For those of you who have kids and can remember leaving their children alone, whether it was for an hour, an evening or a day you understand that the most important thing that you wanted to them to remember were your last words. “I love you, remember your homework”, “I love you ...read more

We hear a lot in October about "Pastor Appreciation Month". This is a sermon that expresses love and appreciation from the pastor to the church.
(This sermon contains much information that is specific to my congregation. I shared it because there seems to be very few resources on this subject. And there may be some pastor out there who is looking for a way to show his love, gratitude and appreciation to his flock. It is my prayer that you ...read more

Scripture: Acts 2:1-47
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
