    Christianity Vs Other Religions

    Contributed by Pastor Renji George on Jul 20, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 952 views

    Before you choose a religion, you need to know about the person who is centred around (icon) in that religion. Ask yourself, what good qualities you can follow in that leader. Why did he come? How did he live? What did he teach? Where did he come? Where did he go?

    Look for Ten good qualities in that leader. Look for ten good qualities of the followers. Look for ten good qualities of that religion or faith. Ask yourself again, where would you end up if you follow that person and his teachings in your life. You are trusting someone completely and following ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 1,629 views

    Jesus saves us from sin and shallow religion. He teaches us to practice our faith in private, not for public approval, but to build a solid core of self-giving love.

    Today we're going to talk about how Jesus saves us from sin and shallow religion. You know, the kind of religion that's all about showing off and not about what's really going on inside of us. Let's start with a little object lesson. I want you all to imagine a cup. Now, this cup looks super shiny ...read more

    Jesus Disrupts Dead Religion Youth Sermon

    Contributed by Youth Sermons on Feb 22, 2024
    based on 4 ratings
     | 885 views

    Jesus disrupts the old system of death and sacrifice, bringing in a new system of love and mercy. He challenges corruption and exploitation, and disrupts our lives to remove anything that hinders us from living abundantly in His love.

    Imagine you're at your favorite concert, but instead of enjoying the music, people are selling stuff and ripping you off. That's what Jesus walked into at the temple. People were supposed to be worshipping God, but instead, they were making a quick buck. Jesus was not cool with that. He flipped ...read more

    Zechariah #16: Superficial Religion Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Jun 27, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,844 views

    This exposition of Zechariah 7:1-6 explores the issue of the inner motives behind our service to the Lord. How many people go to church, give their money, fast, etc. and are baffled by God's lack of response. Why is there so little power in the church? The text addresses all that.

    Intro Our text today is in Zechariah 7. Last week we examined the capstone of the eight visions.i The crowning of Joshua, the High Priest, was a symbolic act prophesying Messiah. Unlike any other, Messiah would be both priest and king. All the promises of God are yea and amen in Him.ii The eight ...read more

    Gimme That Old Time Religion”

     | 4,914 views

    Years ago churches across the nation used to sing that old familiar song, “Gimme that old time religion.”

    Illus: Some of the words that the congregation sang were, “Gimme that Old Time Religion” because they said: • It will do when I am dying, it will do when I am dying. It will do when I am dying, it’s good enough for me. • It will make us read our Bibles, It will make us read our Bibles, It will ...read more

    This sermon introduction emphasizes the importance of private acts of giving, praying, and fasting as taught by Jesus, highlighting the need for a self-giving love that seeks God's approval rather than that of others.

    When Religion Collides With Revelation

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 8, 2025
     | 58 views

    Cain and Abel reveal two spiritual systems: self-made religion or grace-filled revelation. God accepts only the worship shaped by surrender to His revealed way.

    Some of the most defining moments in Scripture arrive without fanfare. No thunder. No angels. No miracles that split seas or shake mountains. Just a simple scene, described with almost startling brevity, that quietly reveals the inner architecture of the human heart. The story of Cain and Abel in ...read more

    If You Can Compare You Can Declare Series

    God is incomparable with everything and anyone, and He cannot be likened to our images of Him. He is God we are not, therefore we need to bow everything in submission to Him, and instead of declaring healing or blessing, pray that His will be done.

    IF YOU COMPARE YOU CAN DECLARE Isaiah 40 Last week I shared about a gospel that is being taught and it is spreading like wildfire in Asia, Africa, Latin America and my country. It is a gospel that looks attractive on the outside, but on the inside it is a deadly poison. There are many names for ...read more
