Sermon # 47 - The Chosen Few Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Aug 26, 2025

Though a majority followed Jesus, there were only a chosen few who in total obedience fulfilled the Great Commission. All through the bible God worked mighty wonders through a few faithful men and women. The question is, “Are we part of God’s chosen few?”

For our meditation today we will look at Luke 14:25, “Now a great number of people went with him.” (BBE) There was a multitude of people who followed Jesus while He was here on earth. Though these people were from various vocations, they set them aside, to follow Jesus as He travelled and preached ...read more

Purple Passion

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Oct 22, 2001

We can become passionate about Kingdom work if we will first listen eagerly to God’s word; then take a step of commitment (feelings follow facts and faith); and maintain the passion by surrounding ourselves with God’s people. Then we will prevail in our

Passionate people are frightening, and yet I admire them. I like passionate people, whose feelings run very deep. But they are scary. They remind me that it is possible to go out of control and to commit to things so intensely that we lose sight of everything else. That scares me. That sort ...read more

The Book Of The Law In The House Of The Lord

Contributed by Bruce Allen on Jun 18, 2004

Easy As Falling Off Your Horse

Contributed by Austin Mansfield on Jun 3, 2007

We, like Paul, as followers of Christ, Christians, are sent to the Gentiles of our time: secular humanists, moral relativists, materialists, even atheists, to open their eyes, like Saul’s were opened by Ananias, so they may turn from darkness to light.

As Saul Paulus of Tarsus, he was a rising star in the rabbinical leadership of the time. When Saint Stephen was stoned to death as the first Christian martyr, Paul stood by, ...read more
