     | 4,479 views

    I wrote this sermon to preach in a church where the pastor had just died on Wednesday night before. God wanted to demonstrate how His timing and His power is more important than the humans in charge.

    The Unhindered Gospel in the Hindered Church A 20th century philosopher, Gamaliel Bradford, once said that “Life is hope triumphing over experience.” In those words, he summed up 20th century optimism. He implied that humanity would learn from its experience and improve. His hope was in the ...read more

    No matter how hard they try, or by what means they use, the Gospel of Christ will continue to be proclaimed.

    The Gospel Cannot be Locked Down Acts 5:17-25 In last week’s text, we saw the great signs and wonders which were performed by the Holy Spirit through the Apostles in Jesus’ name. Huge numbers of those who were healed or had demons cast out must have been overjoyed just like the crowds who were ...read more

    Flesh And Spirit And Cleverness For The Gospel

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 7, 2013
     | 5,374 views

    We must listen to the Spirit of God rather than our weak minds and wills so that we can bear the fruits of the Spirit and with cleverness spread God's kingdom.

    Today’s Scripture readings offer a number of challenges and difficulties to the Christian. On the face of it, it appears that Jesus is applauding a dishonest steward’s actions in cheating his employer. Worse, He seems to be telling His disciples that the ends justify the means. Of ...read more

    Making The Gospel Attractive To The World Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jul 13, 2005
    based on 31 ratings
     | 11,011 views

    Christians are more and more known for what we are against than what we are for. This confuses people about what the gospel is really about. Paul gives some very practical advice on how to be practically spiritual in an unsaved world.

    How can we sum up Titus? It’s as simple as 1-2-3. 1. Find a good Biblical model and follow it (chapter 1) - Personal Faith 2. Allow yourself to be inconvenienced in order for the gospel to be attractive (ch 2) - Interpersonal Example 3. Seek to cooperate and assist others around you by being a ...read more

    Share the Gospel - At the heart of the Gospel is the truth that Jesus Himself said He was the Way, the Truth and the Life. We are not saved by being nice people or by our works, we are saved when we repent and place our faith and trust in Jesus.

    We are continuing in our series on Dynamic Disciples or Dynamic Discipleship and this month our focus is on Evangelism. The Dictionary defines Evangelism as the spreading of the Christian gospel by public preaching or personal witness. Evangelism is a word that was first used in the 1620s. ...read more
