    God gave the revelation of His plan to Jesus who in turn revealed it to John.

    Topic: Revelation ILLUSTRATION: I wonder what God would say to us today as He sees all of our so-called Christian organizations in constant activity but with little action or movement.

    This is a modern-day telling of the "woman at the well" found in John chapter 4. It is delivered as a monologue from the perspective of a narrator.

    INTRODUCTION What follows is a sermon delivered completely as a story. No scripture is read, and no conversation precedes the story to set up the audience. The story is told from a narrator’s standpoint. The songs in the story can be spoken or sung, although singing would be preferable. Later ...read more

     | 5,767 views

    Founded on Jesus’ blueprint for discipleship, John Wesley developed a simple plan for maturing and equipping the saints. Wesley said, “The Church changes the world not by making converts but by making disciples.”

    “Perhaps the greatest single weakness of the contemporary Christian Church is that millions of supposed members are not really involved at all and, what is worse, do not think it strange that they are not. As soon as we recognize Christ’s intention to make His Church a militant company we ...read more

    based on 8 ratings

    Why is it that Christians often need to be motivated to give when God has given us so much? God had provided for the Corinthians in such a wonderful way and yet they were hesitant to share what they had with others.
