    The Power Of Generosity SermonCentral

    Contributed by SermonCentral on Sep 10, 2023
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,923 views

    Generosity is more than just giving material possessions, it's about giving all we are and have in the Spirit to glorify God. This attitude of giving brings greater glory to God.

    Giving is not limited to monetary contributions; it is an attitude that encompasses all aspects of our lives. When we give, we offer everything we have and possess in the Holy Spirit, bringing greater glory to God. Jesus taught us the importance of giving, and in Luke 6:38, He said, "Give, and it ...read more

    Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Aug 29, 2025
     | 274 views

    The parable of the dishonest manager leaves us with many unanswered questions. Why did Jesus use the “creative accounting” done by a cheater as the basis for a lesson on managing money and material wealth?

    Dynamite. The airplane. Television. The Internet. Those are just a few examples of things that mankind has invented that have been used for good and for evil. Dynamite has allowed people to accomplish great tasks in building, mining, and demolition. Sadly it has also been used as a tool for ...read more

    La Prioridad De Amor

    Contributed by Barnabas Park on Jan 16, 2021
     | 1,615 views

    Este material fue preparado como una pregunta de discusión de estudio bíblico sobre la prioridad del amor. Pero pensé que se puede desarrollar un sermón usando este material como esquema. También incluí las respuestas cuando correspondía a las preguntas.

    1 Corintios 13:1-3 Prioridad de Amor Si hablo en lenguas humanas y angelicales, pero no tengo amor, no soy más que un metal que resuena o un platillo que hace ruido. Si tengo el don de profecía y entiendo todos los misterios y poseo todo concocimiento, y si tengo una fe que logra ...read more

    Whom are we serving and who is our Master? Jesus gave two options – God or money. The life of Elisha and his servant Gehazi will teach us what we should value and whom we should serve.

His flesh became firm and healthy like that of a child.” (GNB) Naaman the commander of the Syrian army came to the home of the Prophet Elisha, ...read more

    God Pours Out His Spirit

    On Pentecost, God reversed the process of division and confusion around the tower of Babel, as he poured out his Spirit. The Spirit gave the disciples words of praise and proclamation to speak in languages that all could understand. How does that Spirit work today in our lives and churches?

    [Sermon preached on Pentecost (Whit Sunday) / 3rd year, ELCF Lectionary] Last Tuesday in our Bible study group, we studied the story about the first Christian Pentecost from Acts 2. It was a refreshing experience to hear someone read some verses in Chinese. Most of us could not understand them, ...read more

    What is the value of your soul? What is the worth of your eternal destiny? Challenge to answer the clarion call, the ultimate question of materialism, "what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?"

    *On the market, what is a fair exchange for your eternal soul? — one month, lifetime, night, moment of sinful pleasure The absurdity and audacity of the Lord to ask such a question. Who would do such a moronic thing as to exchange his soul? Yet the universality of its application is clear. ...read more
