Sermons on Dishonourable Service:

Be Observant And Flexible Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Oct 30, 2021

It is all too common for individuals in ministry to become overly focused on small and often menial tasks, and then forget to take time for the people around them; and ministry is supposed to be about people! Jesus was flexible.

We live in a hectic and fast paced world. I’m sure that many of you have noticed just how busy life can be. I read an article entitled, “Goal Oriented or People Oriented,” and I want to share with you something it says. This article states, “Many times we get caught up in our ‘to do’ lists and ...read more

The first most important decision of your life is accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. Find out in this sermon, what is the second most important decision of your life.

Addicted To The Ministry

Contributed by Paul Robinson on Sep 15, 2022

We tend to think of negative things when we think of addictions, but there can also be good addictions. For example, I’m addicted to oxygen. Men, if you’re addicted to your wife, that’s a good thing. Women, it’s great to be addicted to your husband. But what about ministry?

Did you know that a huge addiction is sweeping across our nation? People are addicted to their smart phones! They have to constantly be checking facebook, Twitter, their email, YouTube, Pinterest, or texting. Listen to these startling statistics: —The National Safety Council reports that cell ...read more

What Can I Do For You Today?

Contributed by J Bernard Taylor on Mar 7, 2022

An article I read some time ago suggested that every morning we ask someone,"What can I do for you today?"

An article I read sometime ago talked about service. It suggested that every morning we should ask someone, “What can I do for you today?” I call that a service mentality. At 98 years old, I am mostly shut-in, and there are not too many things I can do. At this stage of life, I am always thinking ...read more

Loving Jesus First

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 11, 2022

Martha was working in the kitchen to earn Jesus’ approval, while Mary was sitting in the living room listening to Him teach. But Jesus had no problem with Mary. Why? Because our love of Him must come before our service.

The living room intimacy Mary enjoyed with Jesus will never come out of the busyness of Martha’s kitchen. Busyness . . . breeds distraction. - Joanna Weaver(1) One time a counterfeit bill made it into circulation and no one knew it was fake for quite some time. It was spent hundreds of times on ...read more

Do Not Say, "I Am A Youth!”

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 15, 2022

This message looks at a teenager who was called by God. Jeremiah was like any other youth; no different than teenagers today. But the Lord was able to use him in an amazing way! God wants even those who are young to serve Him.

I would like to begin our message with a short account concerning a great evangelist in recent church history. “Dwight L. Moody was once asked, ‘How many converts did you have last night?’ Moody answered, ‘Two and one half.’ The other person said, ‘Two adults and a child?’ ‘No,’ Moody replied. ...read more
