    Paul received a vision of a man from Macedonia imploring him to “Come over and help us.” He and his team immediately went, changing the course of history. What the church needs today is a fresh call to spread the Gospel.

    Come Over and Help Us Acts Series Chuck Sligh October 9, 2016 TEXT: Acts 16:9-10 – “And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us. 10 And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavored ...read more

    The Bible teaches us to sing a "New Song" to the Lord. What this is basically saying is that our praise should be fresh and new because God's mercy are new every morning and He is still working in the lives of those who follow in faith and obedience.

    SERMON TITLE- “Sing a New Song” SERMON SERIES or OCCASION- Final Words DATE- July 19, 2015 LOCATION- Shelbyville Christian Church INTRODUCTION: Illustration/Story/Quote/Statistic- I love music! Music is an important part of our lives. You think about all the places and things we ...read more

    Asaph was an anointed Levite worship leader who wrote 12 psalms and was appointed by David as a leader at the Temple. Yet this anointed man of God suffered a time of discouragement. But by remembering God's deeds and wonders he was restored to fresh power.

    FROM TIRED TO INSPIRED Ps. 77 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: NEW YEARS JOKES 1. A New Year's resolution is something that goes in one year and out the other. 2. In 2020, may your neighbors respect you, troubles neglect you, angels protect you, and heaven accept you. 3. May all your troubles ...read more

    Be Clothed With Humility Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Feb 21, 2022
     | 4,174 views

    We need a fresh glimpse of the eternal and a reminder that God is our creator and we are the creation. God seeks humility in his children. Humble yourself under God’s mighty hand and he may lift you up in due time.

    If you think like country singer Mac Davis that it is “Hard to Be Humble when you are perfect in every way”, that is a good sign that you need this passage of scripture on humility. Your accomplishments, recognitions and achievements can be obstacles to the humility that God desires us to ...read more

    No Regrets I

    Contributed by Jason Jones on Nov 16, 2022
     | 1,428 views

    Two fundamental truths that I want to establish before I preach on revival in our month of prayer and fasting: first that revival is “fresh life based on a renewal to closeness to God,” and second, revival presupposes a church with a tainted or languishing intimacy with God.

    Background to passage: Paul is talking about a letter that he wrote to confront the church about a sin in the church. In brief, there are two kinds of sorrow/grief in view; godly sorrow vs. worldly sorrow. “The difference between godly grief and worldly grief is that the first issues in repentance ...read more

    The Gift That Never Stops

    There is a thirst in every heart that can only be satisfied by our Creator. This is seen in John's account of the woman at the well. Like her, we must encounter Jesus in order to satisfy the spiritual thirst we have.

    THE GIFT THAT NEVER STOPS John 4:1-18 The Pharisees heard that Jesus was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John, 2 although in fact it was not Jesus who baptized, but his disciples. 3 When the Lord learned of this, he left Judea and went back once more to Galilee. 4 Now he had to go ...read more

    (Lesson 2) Gideon: A Weak Self-Image

    Gideon was at the bottom of the social ladder and filled with self-doubt when he encountered God. Because of that experience, Gideon was able to drive the enemy out of his homeland.

    A. INTRODUCTION: JUDGES 6:11-23 1. Poor. Gideon was the youngest son, of the poorest family, of the weakest tribe in Israel. "My family is poor in Manasseh, and I am least in my father’s house" (I Judges 6:15). 2. Weak Name. Gideon was also called Jerubbal (Baal fighter) after confronting idol ...read more

    Bold Witnesses

    We learn from this sermon what it means to be a bold witness, what bold witnesses can expect to encounter, and what God does through bold witnesses.

    BOLD WITNESSES Acts 4:8-20 We recently had an encounter in our church’s regular weekly outreach program where one of the families we visited accused us of harassment. We weren’t guilty, of course. But I still had to spend some very anxious moments at the local police station trying to sort ...read more

    In John 4, Jesus encounters a woman whose been looking for love in all the wrong places. But after shareing his love with her she is changed forever.

    Looking for Love in all the Wrong Places In John 4, we meet an anonymous Samaritan woman who’s entire life is about to be transformed by the untold love of a Jewish carpenter. I imagine this encounter as a stage-play with three separate acts. But, that being the case, before we can get to the ...read more

    The Resurrection Series

    Contributed by Gary Moore on Feb 4, 2008
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,975 views

    Matthew’s account of the resurrection. Matthew’s narrative of e Galilean encounter with the disciples is a culmination to the gospel which accentuates the Trinitarian nature of God and the mission of the believer.

    He is not here, for he has risen, as he said. The gospels each relate the account of the resurrection according to their own purpose, consequently there are considerable differences between the Gospels (refer to the recent bulletin insert for a harmonization of those events), but with all the ...read more

    The Camel Squeezed Out From Tail To Snout

    Contributed by Bob Joyce on Oct 10, 2007
     | 3,045 views

    Jesus call to discipleship is a call of sacrifice. Anything that stands in the way of answering that call must be deserted. This truth is shown through the encounter of Jesus with the rich young ruler.

    Little did I know when I planned this sermon, that we would have a live camel at VBS this year. At any rate, I want to tell you a story. It is the story of the ill-fated Franklin expedition to the Arctic in 1845. That odyssey was a turning point in Arctic exploration because of its well-publicized ...read more

    Learning from Paul’s encounter with the citizens of Athens this sermon helps us to see how we can introduce God to the people we interact with in lives

    One of the foundational messages of Christianity is around the focus of love. As we flip through the pages of scripture love is dominant. God’s love for us, our love for God and our love for others. Our parish mission statement even reflects this; Because of God’s amazing grace we live to love the ...read more

    Six groups or individuals think they can "handle" Jesus. Their reactions are similar to ours when we encounter the truth of Jesus Christ. Which group are you in?

    The time for Jesus teaching is over. Now is the time for others to act on the truth that He revealed. Six groups of individuals try to handle Jesus in one way or another. Chapter 18 is about the arrest and trial of Jesus. The time for talking has almost ended, the time for action is here. This is ...read more
