    Facing The Sorrow Of Death With Hope In The Ressurrection

    Contributed by Rodney Johnson Sr., on Dec 15, 2003
    based on 60 ratings
     | 8,074 views

    This Sermon was preached on November 8, 2003 in memory of Sis. Emily White, a valiant soldier of God. The objective is to keep the believer’s mind focus on the resurrection during times of death.

    The Apostle Paul addresses the question concerning the state of those who die in the Lord. The Thessalonians knew that Jesus had risen and they believe that his return was imminent. But they were confused concerning those who were dead already. They thought that somehow their deceased love ones ...read more

    A sermon preached prior to revival services, the outline was in the margins of my Bible and i’m not sure where i came up with it from so i built upon it.

    Steps to Revival 2 Chronicles 14:1-6 (use NIV) Intro: How can you tell when you need revival? One person suggested that it becomes evident when it affects your hymn singing. Here are some examples: • We sing "Sweet Hour of Prayer" and are content with 5-10 minutes. • We sing "Onward Christian ...read more

    The message today might seem a bit harsh but Jesus spoke and we have to preach it. I admit I am more comfortable whispering repentance and shouting grace.

    TEXT; MATTHEW 5:27-32 TITLE: “Would You Be Blind” INTRODUCTION: Most Sundays I am excited to preach. I’m usually fired up to prepare a message and present it. I have to admit that it’s not really the case today. The passage we’re going to study this morning is a tough and controversial ...read more

    As Paul preached to the Athenians, he told them that the resurrection was proof that Jesus was who God proclaimed him to be. This sermon looks at the proofs from the lives of the disciples that Jesus is alive.

    Proof Act 17:22-31 Intro: There was an old man who had witnessed a burglary and appeared in court to identify the guilty party. . The prosecutor questioned him and he identified the defendant as the man who had committed the crime. . Now it was the defense attorney’s turn. He asked the man, ...read more

    This message was preached 5 years @ Elim Bible Church, a "start-over" Church. I am thrilled to say is still moving foward, after nearly closing her doors.

    A Fresh Start Ph.3: 13-14 Have you ever felt like you just needed a fresh start…a do-over? Sometimes we are given an opportunity for a fresh start but how we handle the fresh start will determine how we finish.

    HoHum: “Never again,” John said. “Never again will I trust you. I can’t forgive you this time.” Ann could feel the pain in his words. His heart was broken, and now he was going to break hers. “Never again! No more chances! How could you do this again? ...read more

    The first message as the full-time speaker at a church where I had previously been filling in, preached the first Sunday after a move. Autobiographical, allegorical, and life-applicable.

    Hebrews 12:1-3 – Baggage Let me tell you something right from the start: we hate moving. I know we only moved less than 10 minutes away, but that didn’t make things radically different from moving away. Sure, we used several pick-up trucks instead of a U-Haul, and we made several ...read more

    The Persecuted Church Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Russell on Mar 16, 2011
     | 6,943 views

    (Preached on July 4th): This message focuses on the first church-wide persecution in Acts. Attention is given to the implications the Gospel has for believers as members of both God's kingdom and a country.

    * The difficulty in approaching a July 4th message: - We sometimes "read" America into Scripture when we shouldn't - Bible doesn't reference America as a country of predict the events of July, 1776 * If we're not careful, we end up using today to exalt a nation instead of Christ - We do not worship ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,697 views

    This is a New Year's sermon when our culture preaches "believe in yourself" and Scripture teaches us what happens when we do. It is a prelude sermon to a covert series on Calvinism.

    It is the first Sunday of the new year. In our culture this is a time of getting psyched up for a new year of doing our best, setting some ambitious goals, trying harder, putting our best foot forward. Maybe you expect a little encouragement from your church; give us some spiritual justification ...read more
