    The Meaning Of Pentecost

    Contributed by Claude Alexander on May 2, 2022
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,524 views

    Pentecost was a divinely planned event; it was no mere afterthought with God. The coming of the Holy Spirit was as much a part of the redemptive plan as was the incarnation, death, resurrection and ascension of the Lord Jesus Christ.

     | 4,629 views

    This is the final part of an 8-part series on Divine Providence - what God provides under his plan for humans. This part addresses the place of miracles and phenomena in God's plan.

    This is Part 8 of an 8-part series, which was originally developed for a 13-week adult class, with some of the parts taking more or less than a 45-minute class period. I developed a set of slides on PowerPoint for use with the series and will be happy to share the PowerPoint files. The prompts ...read more

    Following God’s Mission For Kingdom Expansion Series

     | 3,236 views

    The persecution forced the church to decisions that would unlock the full potential of the Church in terms of scope, efficiency, and effectiveness. The Church at Jerusalem became the Church on the move. We are a part of that movement.

    Sermon: Following God’s Mission For Kingdom Expansion Scripture: Acts 8:1-8 “Saul was one of the witnesses, and he agreed completely with the killing of Stephen. A great wave of persecution began that day, sweeping over the church in Jerusalem; and all the believers except the apostles were ...read more

    Lord, Please Move Me Out Of This Waiting Line John 5:1–9 (Esp. Vv. 6 & 8); Hebrews 6:10–12

    Contributed by Christabel N. Onuoha on Jul 26, 2025
     | 696 views

    When you consider our topic, it is a prayer and not an instruction or a commandment. it reveals the critical need element in all of us and the desperate state of human depravity without the Savior and without divine help because we all need help.

    I first preached this message in 2006, five unique variations in five different services. And with each one, I was profoundly blessed by the inexhaustible dimensions through which the same Scripture revealed Christ. One text. One Christ. Multiple perspectives. This particular message is the ...read more

    If you want God’s saving grace to work in your life, believe in Christ and learn from Christ: learn to live for Him; learn to wait for Him; and learn to love Him, because He first loved you.

    Lillie Baltrip is a good bus driver. In fact, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram of June 17, 1988, the Houston school district nominated her for a safe-driving award. Her colleagues even trusted her to drive a busload of them to an awards ceremony for safe drivers. Unfortunately, on the way ...read more

    Living Under God's Open Heaven PRO Sermon

    based on 3 ratings
     | 109 views

    God’s generous presence and blessing are available to us through prayer, inviting us to trust, receive, and live confidently under His open heaven.

    Some mornings feel like the sky sits low and gray, as if our prayers push against a ceiling of clouds. Bills stack, hearts ache, and strength thins out around the edges. And then we read a line of Scripture and it’s as if God opens a window and lets a fresh breeze run through the room. That’s what ...read more

     | 114 views

    Christ meets us in our weakness, supplying strength and love so we can persevere, serve others, and experience true courage in everyday life.

    Some of us walked in with smiles; some of us walked in with sighs. Schedules feel heavy. Headlines howl. Bills pile, plates spin, and sleep sneaks away. You’ve tried to be strong for your people, and the strength ran thin. You’ve tried to be brave for your heart, and the courage felt small. If ...read more

    What Does God Want With Me? Series

    One of these fall mornings when the temperature drops, you're going to walk outside and when you breathe, you'll see a vapor cloud. Watch how fast it disappears: That's the length of your life according to the Bible.

    INTRODUCTION A few weeks ago, I was channel surfing on my satellite radio, and I heard a pop song that kept repeating, “What do you want from me?” I tend to baptize, or biblicize everything I hear, so that phrase made me wonder if people ever stop and ask God, “God, what do you ...read more

    Worship and being worship driven does not always imply music, instruments, singing or even the lifting of hands. To be worship driven for God means we honor God with our heart, mind, soul and our daily actions. It’s a matter of the heart to heart connect

    This sermon deals with the importance of setting goals. It is a revision of the sermon material given to us in Rick Warren's Transformation series as our church went through the series. I highly recommend the series for your church.

    Most of this material was done by Rick Warren in the 50 Days Of Transformation Series. I reworked some of the material and eliminated a lot because of the length of the sermon. We used the material to kick off a church campaign for growth. Welcome to 50 Days of Transformation as we continue The ...read more

    These two messages are the culmination of decades of observing those I have heard, met, sat under, and worked with in ministry who have walked in a unique Anointing and Favor of God and what they all had in common that caused them to stand apart from others.

    INTRODUCTION The Bible emphatically reveals that there is one eternal God who is not some universal mind or consciousness that fills space and matter. He has always existed in eternity past and into eternity future in three persons in what is known as the Trinity – God, the Father, God, the Son, ...read more

    Those who want nothing to do with God will receive their request when Jesus returns.

    INTRODUCTION • People were longing for the return of the Lord, and some were more or less checking out of life, expecting Him to come at any moment. • In the last couple of chapters of 1 Thessalonians, Paul wrote to comfort and encourage the folks concerning what would happen to those who died in ...read more

    Got Jesus?

    Contributed by Tammy Garrison on May 7, 2002
    based on 54 ratings
     | 4,595 views

    This sermon ends a series that has explored the ’corrupt generation’ we find ourselves living in. When realizing they had crucified the Messiah, faithful Jews at Pentecost asked, "What shall we do?" The response is, "Got Jesus?"

    Bibliography: Culture Shifts, Lesson 10 Over the last several months, we have looked at the modern culture we find ourselves living in.
