The Skeleton At The Feast...

Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Jan 11, 2023

We need to consider the root of the problems we face. From where does strife and trouble come? Anger and bitterness become self feeding skeletons that are so weak they waste opportunities. We must identify strive causers.

TEXT: Proverbs 30:33 Surely the churning of milk bringeth forth butter, and the wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood: so the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife. ...read more

Jesus Teaches His Disciples

Contributed by Stuart Uren on Oct 18, 2000

Good morning everyone, our topic today is "…Jesus teaching his disciples…" I believe this was one of the biggest challenges that Jesus faced.

Good morning everyone, our topic today is "…Jesus teaching his disciples…" I believe this was one of the biggest challenges that Jesus faced. At the beginning of his ministry, Jesus had the problem of how his message would be taken to the world in such a short timeframe of approximately 3½ years. ...read more

Who Was God Trying To Catch?

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Sep 10, 2019

Many times when we read the story of Jonah, our focus is on the significance of the great fish. But should that be our focus? This message looks at the message of Jonah that we often miss.

Tonight, we’re going to have an opportunity to get into a story that’s very familiar to all of us. But I want to look at it from the vantage point of “Who was God trying to catch?” The Holy Spirit speaks to each one of us and He speaks to us individually with words specifically to us. But there ...read more

The kingdom of heaven is like treasures old and new.

Intro, Purpose & Plan Do we have any special treasures? Do we own heirlooms from distant lands? Are our families among our greatest treasures?

Submission To Our Leaders

Contributed by Gbemisola Fafowora on Oct 13, 2019

God has a good purpose for us all and this is why He places leaders in our Nations and the leaders are all supposed to be led by God, so that we can live in peace.

When I asked the Holy Spirit what He wanted to write on Sermon Central. I was very surprised when He gave me this topic about the leaders in government. This simply means to us that God knows and cares about us and wants the best for us in our various countries where we reside or where we came ...read more

Forgiving The Fallen Series

Contributed by Brian Bill on Jul 9, 2004

There’s a lot we can learn about forgiveness by following the example Jesus set for us when He restored Peter.

Shalom, it’s Peter again. I talked with many of you last Sunday when I told you about an amazing fishing trip. I had been doubly disappointed -- first in myself for failing Jesus, and second when we didn’t catch any fish. But then Jesus appeared, and after having breakfast on the beach, he asked me ...read more

Shall We Smite? Two Swords?

Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Apr 17, 2006

We must address this question: SHALL WE SMITE? Or What are we going to do with our swords? We do not need to be in bitter contention, debate, argue, fuss, there is a better way. Shall we smite? No, feed them!

Dumb Dogs Series

Contributed by C. Philip Green on May 14, 2013

Jesus is not impressed with the outward trappings of self-righteousness. He is impressed with a heart full of simple faith, which we find most often in the hearts of those we least expect. So like Jesus feed the "dogs" and touch the "dumb."

Dumb Dogs (Mark 7:24-37) I like this thought posted by Mike Atkinson in his daily email humor list some time ago. "If you can start the day without caffeine; if you can get going without pep pills; if you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains; if you can resist complaining and boring ...read more

Go In To Possess

Contributed by Bala Samson on Mar 12, 2013

Sometimes we expect God to spoon-feed us! We want the ‘blessings’ wrapped with colorful, glossy paper and given to us; it does not happen that way, there are times we got to just move forward and possess it.

Go in to possess! Nehemiah 9:15”You gave them bread from heaven for their hunger, And brought them water out of the rock for their thirst, And told them to go in to possess the land Which You had sworn to give them.” Observe the title once more, it is not 'go in and possess' but it ...read more

Who Do You Follow? Series

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Jul 20, 2014

The contrast of Herod killing John the Baptist to Jesus feeding 5000 in Mark 6 is very revealing of the life of sin vs. a life of service. We must be totally devoted to Christ to live for Him, and cannot live like He is a convenience.

Who do you follow? Mark 6:14-44 Introduction - Jesus is demonstrated in this book as a “servant” -- Key verse: Mark 10:45, “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” - For us to ...read more

The Bag Of Opportunity

Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Apr 11, 2015

When the young boy's mom packed his lunch bag of a few biscuits and some fish, she never knew the opportunity of the miracle of Jesus feeding thousands? We refuse to see the opportunities for us. (I use 7 bags)

Evicted But Not Abandoned Series

Contributed by Preacher Fo Real on May 12, 2011

God loves us and gives us a generous portion of His grace and mercy to be able to feed, clothe ourselves, and exist in our right mind. However, God’s favor or goodwill goes farther than we expect it should.

Early this morning, I sat looking into the dark sky and the verses from Psalm 30: 5 entered my mind. I watched the shadows of darkness flee from the coming morning light and heard the word of God speak, ‘For his anger endures but a moment; in his favor is life.’ Suddenly, the noise of daybreak ...read more
