    Sermon # 6 - United With A Purpose Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Feb 13, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,603 views

    Only when we are united in heart, mind and purpose will the people around us know and believe in Jesus. This sermon will teach us what we should do to make this a possibility.

    We read in Acts 4:32, “The whole congregation of believers was united as one — one heart, one mind!” (MSG) The testimony about the early church was that though they were numerous, they were all with one heart and one mind. When we hear such a declaration, probably the question that arises is, ‘How ...read more

    Most of us are tired and weary of the same old, same old when we come to church. We don’t want to feel like when we attend that we are simply going through the motions. People no longer come to church because it is the right thing to do.

    Many of us feel weary and uninspired when we attend church. We long for something deeper, something that will give our lives meaning and purpose. We no longer come to church out of obligation; we come seeking answers to life's biggest questions. One of these questions is, "What on earth am I here ...read more

    Sermon # 41 - Forgotten Purpose Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jan 15, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 514 views

    Jonah did not perceive God’s heart and thereby failed to rejoice when God’s purposes were accomplished in Nineveh. We as a church must have our hearts beat as one with that of God’s and fulfill His purposes to reach the lost and bring them into God’s Kingdom.

    We read in Jonah 4:5, “Jonah went out east of the city and sat down. He made a shelter for himself and sat in its shade, waiting to see what would happen to Nineveh.” (GNB) In this series we are studying the life of Jonah and comparing it with the church of today, thereby trying to learn some ...read more

    The Purpose Of Our Life And The Church.

    Contributed by Barnabas Park on May 30, 2025
     | 482 views

    God is the one who gives our lives purpose. We find that purpose through Jesus Christ by loving God, loving others, and helping people follow Him. We do this both on our own and together as a church, with the help of the Holy Spirit, who helps us become more like Christ.

    The Purpose of Our Life and the Purpose of the Church. I. What is our life purpose? If you believe God is the creator of your life, you are not the one who defines your purpose or discovers or creates your purpose. God is the one who defines your purpose. His command reveals His purpose for ...read more

    Sermon # 31 - The Purpose Of The Church Series

     | 584 views

    The Parable of the Good Samaritan is familiar to all of us. However, if we study this from a deeper spiritual angle, we will understand God’s greater plan for us as individuals who believe in Him and His purpose for the church at large.

    As we continue our study on the church, for today’s meditation we will study this portion of scripture found in the Gospel of Luke chapter 10. We read in Luke 10:30-35, “To answer this question, Jesus said, “A man was going down the road from Jerusalem to Jericho. Some robbers surrounded him, tore ...read more

    The Lord gives us what we need to do His Will. It is not of ourselves.

    What is the Purpose of Preaching the Cross? Acts 3:12-26 It is not our words, it is not our strength, nor is it our own person that has any power in the work that we do for Christ. But it is the power of God through Christ that we are enabled to do what we do and how we do it. The sermon that ...read more

    In a time when the pace of life is ever-accelerating, and our senses are constantly bombarded with stimuli urging instant action and reaction, the Biblical virtue of self-control remains as pertinent as ever.

    Jesus showed up, not by chance or by accident but by divine providence. Have you ever wondered why He came when He did? Paul answers our question for us.

    WHEN JESUS SHOWED UP GALATIANS 4:4-6 INTRODUCTION: One preacher delivered a sermon on these verses entitled “When God’s Clock Struck”. God always keeps His appointments.

    We are each a unique and valuable masterpiece created by God with a purpose. We need to embrace our uniqueness, live out our purpose, and see others as God's masterpieces too.

    We all like doing our own thing, right? But here's the thing, we weren't made to go solo. God designed us to do life together. You know when you're trying to put together a puzzle, and you can't figure out where that one weird-shaped piece goes? It's frustrating, right? But when you finally find ...read more

    Do not allow the enemy to trap you in the “why me?” Just remember who you are.

    If you remember, last week I mentioned that on occasions the believers tend to fall in the enemy’s trap; on occasions, the believer tends to fall in the trap of self pity, which in almost all instances causes them to deviate from God’s path. This was certainly the case with the prophet ...read more
