    Hosea 7:16 NLT “They look everywhere except to heaven, to the Most High. They are like a crooked bow that always misses its target.” The problem is we have our aim at the wrong target. Our aim is off. “If you are aiming for nothing, you’ve already hit

    When God comes on the scene or into your life He makes dramatic changes. What a great example Saul is of this. From persecutor to preacher. God’s still has the power to change lives today.

    A crook was once asked, “Why did you steal the purse?” “I was feeling bad,” he answered, “and I thought the change would do me good.” Well,in our text there is a change that will, and it all begins when you make Jesus Christ your personal savior.

    An Experience That Manifest Evidence 2 Corinthians 5:17 I once heard about an old country fellow and his son that went to the big city for the first time. They had never been off the farm and were amazed at all the things they saw. The thing that amazed the old farmer the most was an elevator. ...read more

    Mother’s Day used to be such an easy Sunday for preachers because we could preach sermons filled with warm, happy illustrations. Well - maybe not for everybody.

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK (Revised: 2013) ILL. A man came home from work one afternoon & found his three small children outside, still in their pajamas, playing in the mud. Some of their toys were scattered across the lawn & on the driveway. ...read more

    Dr. Havner say it I believe the ministers have a twofold are dual ministry. He said, “The business of a preacher is to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.”

    The comforting. Acts 9: 32 -- 42. 01/07/04 Vance Havner was a wonderful preacher of the gospel. He is known for a lot of one-liners that draw attention all the time. Oftentimes there were humor in them but a message in each one. One time he was reading where Jesus came apart from the disciples ...read more

    based on 51 ratings
     | 16,371 views

    Paul wants us to understand that preaching is not based on the contribution of the preacher, but on the message being communicated. Preaching, in the mind of Paul is to be valued in the core truth, not in the charisma of the speaker!

    Homiletics 101 “What Preaching Should Be” 1 Corinthians 2:1-5 INTRODUCTION: As we approach this passage of Scripture, and in doing so leave the first chapter of the letter, it is important that we understand what it is we are leaving behind. Chapter 1 has Paul laying foundation concerning ...read more

    Peter denied the Lord through boasting and pride. After breakfast on a beach, Jesus restored him to service and he became a bold preacher on the day of Pentecost.

    A. PETER’S BACKSLIDING 1. Cause boasting. "I will lay down my life for thy sake" (John 13:37). 2. Jesus’ response warning. "Wilt thou lay down thy life for my sake?

    Acts 4 presents Peter as a confident, powerful preacher of Christ... but not two months earlier he had been a cowering coward. What made the difference?

    OPEN: In the 70’s there was runaway hit movie starring Sylvester Stallone, entitled "Rocky." Many people, including myself were unaware that the movie was based on a real life boxer named Chuck Werner - otherwise known as the Bayonne Bleeder (because he bled so easily and freely throughout his ...read more

    Funeral sermon for Andrea Pitts, who had instructed this preacher a few days before her death about the ways in which she felt hope.

    The message this morning is not just about Andrea Pitts. It comes from Andrea Pitts. I bring no eulogy, but rather a report, a report that proclaims the truth of Christ in the midst of suffering from the very lips of a woman who embraced her death and lived her hope. The words today are not so ...read more

    The Heart Is Forgiving

    based on 5 ratings
     | 3,666 views

    Pulpit drama monologue as if the preacher were Simon, into whose house Jesus came, and where the jar of ointment was given. An emphasis on feeling, on forgiveness,and on generosity.

    Frankly, I like things cool, calm, and collected. This business of lavish public display has always bothered me. It’s just bad taste, that’s what it is, when people feel they have to hang all over each other in public. Great day, what you do see down at the market sometimes, young people so ...read more

     | 5,572 views

    And to be honest, I have heard preachers throw around the term “we must have a hunger for God’s Word”. But what does that really mean?

    Introduction The Bible tells us that Enoch walked with God; the Bible tells us that Noah walked with God. These walks with God were more God talks- where God talked to them, and these men took to heart what God was telling them. We know that to be the case because Enoch as result of those walks ...read more

    Enoch walked with God in a declining culture. He had a very close relationship with God in a world and at a time that was becoming very wicked. He was a powerful preacher.
