    based on 44 ratings
     | 4,427 views

    A preacher friend of mine once told me, that he had a hard time finding something to preach about. We take a look at the theme of effective preaching.

    Abraham Licoln once said, "I like to watch a preacher who looks like he is fighting off a swarm of bee’s as he preaches." There are varying styles of preaching, some exciting, some very powerful. Yet, sad but true, many are boring. One guy described some preachers as being, "drier than cracker ...read more

    We have been given so many wonderful gifts from God as believers. But Peter calls us to deepen our effectiveness as believers through practice.

    Passage: 2 Peter 1:5-11 Intro: We see them standing on the 18th green with a trophy and a check, or on the stage receiving the grand prize, or at the net on center court with the prize. 1. wow, $1 million for playing a game. 2. but really result of prioritizing the development of a particular ...read more

    It is easy to get down and discouraged in this world and often times our hearts need to be renewed and refreshed so we can be more effective in our service to God.

    “Heart Conditions: A Renewed and Refreshed Heart” Introduction: A businessman dragged himself home and barely made it to his chair before he dropped, exhausted. His sympathetic wife was right there with a tall cool drink and a comforting word. "My, you look tired," she said. "You must have had a ...read more

    Almighty God Series

     | 22,533 views

    It is not God's nature to be limited or weak. In removing all limitations of power, we arrive at the omnipotence of God, and we have access to that power to live effectively in an unholy world.

    In Handel’s Messiah, the famous “Hallelujah Chorus” quotes the Book of Revelation, proclaiming: “For the Lord God omnipotent reigneth!” (19:6). Omnipotence means “able to do all.” God is all-powerful; He is unlimited. He can do all that He wills to do. ...read more

    This is a narrative sermon that shares a story about Simon of Cyrene. Several points of observation are at the end of the message. Rightfully utilized, the "story telling" methodology is an effective format for communication.

     | 21,457 views

    Being a disciple of Christ requires a conscious, committed effort. We will never be effective disciples with a casual, unconcerned approach. It is a lifestyle we are called to commit ourselves unto.

    The Commitment to Discipleship Luke 9: 23-26 Let me begin by asking, how many Christians do you know? That is a difficult question isn’t it? Now it seems that everyone you talk to concerning the Lord has had some type of experience. Well, yes I’m a Christian; I was baptized and joined ...read more

    God’s call will effect change, challenge, and will leave us with a choice as to how we’ll respond to it. It certainly did in Mary's world!

    There are four essential elements to being a healthy and effective church. This sermon can be heard at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MWq-cbFXYs

What prevents us from enjoying God’s presence? We saw that it is our EGO. Not the Freudian stuff of ego, but really ...read more
