    The sermon encourages prioritizing God's Kingdom and righteousness over earthly pursuits, and seeking alignment with God's desires and attributes.

    Good morning, beloved. Isn't it a blessing to be gathered here today, in the house of the Lord, surrounded by our brothers and sisters in Christ?

    This sermon emphasizes the Christian call to service, sacrifice, and selflessness, challenging worldly views of power and greatness through the example of Jesus.

    Beloved brothers and sisters in Christ, we gather here today under the banner of our Savior, bound by His love and guided by His Word. We are not here by accident, but by divine appointment. It is not by chance that we have come together, but by the providence of our Heavenly Father who, in His ...read more

    Knee Deep In Sheep

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Dec 10, 2005
    based on 10 ratings
     | 3,738 views

    For Advent III, preached at First Baptist of Gaithersburg, MD. "We may be knee deep in sheep, but let this keep you as you sleep, it is joy we reap". God in Christ transforms the ordinariness of everyday, humdrum life.

    We may be knee deep in sheep, but let this keep you as you sleep – it is joy we shall reap. Did you get all that? Too many rhyming words? Ah, but every one of them is important. Listen again: we may be knee deep in sheep, but let this keep you as you sleep – it is joy we shall reap. Now you ...read more

    what God did during that first HOLY WEEK made it possible for us to get back what those first two humans lost because of their sin—a personal and eternal relationship with our Creator.

    On Remembrance Sunday let's remember, first, that there are things to SACRIFICE for. Second, that there are things to FIGHT for. And third, that there are things to HOPE for.

    INTRODUCTION EARLIER IN THE SERVICE Today is Remembrance Sunday. It’s a time for remembering. In Britain, I think we’re good at remembering the people in the armed forces who gave their lives in conflicts over the past century or so. Yesterday, the Royal British Legion held Festivals of ...read more

    Go Tell It On Mt. Sinai Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Dec 6, 2003
    based on 35 ratings
     | 9,297 views

    Being a Christian is not a negative thing, nothing but thou shalt nots; it is first of all a relationship with God, but marred by fear. So God gives us boundaries to receive as a gift, not a burden. That’s good news worth telling.

    The instant some people hear anything about Christianity they begin to conjure up negatives. For too many being a Christian is defined by what they are not allowed to do. “I don’t drink and I don’t chew and I don’t go with girls who do.” For too much of the world, being a Christian is a joyless, ...read more

    A Big Crowd Meets a King I don’t know about you, but I like watching movie bloopers. There’s something funny about watching other people mess up.

    The Provocative Entry

    Contributed by Byron Perrine on Jul 9, 2019
     | 2,969 views

    Palm Sunday helps us correctly understand humility in relationship to others, and Christian vocation in relationship to God. The following discourse is based upon one of the first sermons I preached, a “Palm Sunday” sermon given many years ago.

    (If you have found this sermon helpful, please visit us at www.HeritageRestorationProject.org or www.ChristianWisdom.info) There are very many New Testament scriptural admonitions to humility; for example, Paul writes: “By the grace given to me I bid everyone among you not to think of himself more ...read more

    This sermon deals with the need to go through trials and tests before we see a miracle.

    First The Test, Then The Miracle 10/1/2000 2 Kings 6:24-33 Matthew 14:22-34 There are a lot of people who want to see God do a miracle, but very few are volunteering to be in the circumstances which requires a miracle to take place.
