Intentional Pursuit Series

Contributed by Timothy Smith on Feb 18, 2019

The topic for this message is all about seeking God. The Magi, the shepherds and Simeon and Anna are used as examples of the different ways people found God. While certainly it fits during the Christmas season it could be preached anytime during the year.

INTRODUCTION: (“Seek” Video from sermonspice.com = 1:45) You know, again and again in scripture we find that God reveals himself to those who seek after Him. In fact, God seems to say that there is joy and pleasure in the search for Him. Psalm 70:4: “May all who seek you rejoice and be glad in ...read more

Obvious Evangelists And The Crazy Woman

Contributed by Fr Mund Cargill Thompson on Mar 28, 2019

Is there only one way to share our faith? Or can a baseball player, a prostitute and a shoe shop owner teach us something of the variety of ways out there. Preached Easter Sunday 2018 at St Barnabas Northolt Park

..................... A former crazy woman. Possibly… probably(?).... a prostitute Would this be an obvious person to pick as an evangelist? “Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples “I have seen the Lord” and she went and told them that he had said these things to her” (John 20:18) I ...read more

Faith, Hope And The Resurrection

Contributed by Craig Condon on Aug 18, 2015

Jesus gives us salvation, but only if we repent and are baptized in his name. The Holy Spirit gives power to God’s people, the end times are here, the Messiah has come and a message of salvation must be preached.

The reading from Acts 2:14, 22-32 is part of the first sermon ever preached. It was in response to the disciples’ speaking in tongues on the Day of Pentecost. When the disciples spoke in tongues, some people in the crowd thought that they were drunk. Peter stated that this was not true ...read more

Here Am I Send Me

Contributed by Dennis Fox on Aug 12, 2022

Are you willing to go when the Lord asks? Even when you know the job is hard? Would you go to preach to people who never wanted to hear you in the first place? That is exactly what Isaiah did.

Send Me 30 May 2021 Richardson The truth hurts! Actually it really does. It’s documented that the truth hurts when it’s something you don’t want to hear.

The Reality Of Hell

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 21, 2022

The Bible speaks about a real place called hell, and it’s a place where many people will unfortunately go when they die. But some individuals reason that hell is contradictory to God’s love and mercy and should not be preached.

I have entitled our message this morning “The Reality of Hell.” Hell is a topic that tends to be avoided in a lot of churches and by a lot of pastors today. One person has accurately identified the perception of hell today when he said, “Since the days of fiery sermons from Puritan preachers like ...read more

In Him Was Yes

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 9, 2022

From Death To Life

Contributed by Gnana Raj on Sep 4, 2021

Genesis 5 contains a genealogy. As Christians, how can we understand and preach this passage christologically? If Jesus said the Scripture speaks of Him, and this stands as part of the inspired scripture, how can we discern its Christological significance?

INTRODUCTION Greetings to you all in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour. It’s a blessing to worship with you and share from God’s word. Few weeks ago, the chaplain contacted me to sign me for preaching. Since he called me, I’ve been thinking about what to preach. It’s around the same ...read more

God Abides In Small Places

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 21, 2022

When trying to start a new church, we often think we should send church planters to the largest populated areas. However, both John the Baptist and Jesus preached in the wilderness, and people came to them where they were!

I have entitled our message for this evening, “God Abides in Small Places.” Abide means, to dwell and to continue in a place. The Lord can be found abiding – and alive and well – in small places; and it is very important for us to be reminded of this fact because of America’s belief that “bigger ...read more

LET US PRAY: Grant us the faith to believe you and trust you fully, for all that you’ve revealed to us in your holy Word. May we be enlightened and encouraged today. Bless this time, we pray, in Jesus’ Name, AMEN. --------------- We have been seeing in the book of Acts the fulfilment of the ...read more

An Outline Of Acts 1

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Apr 28, 2021

The Book of Acts gives Luke's account of how the Gospel was preached and the Church grew in the days after Jesus went back to Heaven. This outline for the first chapter served as a launching point for a mini-series of messages on Acts.

Introduction: The Book of Acts gives an overview of Church history from the last few days when the Lord Jesus Christ spent on earth before He ascended, and the arrival of Paul in Rome about 30 years later (estimates vary). Certainly, any book begins with the first chapter and that is certainly the ...read more
