    Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Jan 4, 2016
     | 4,777 views

    When you invite others to experience Jesus, we demonstrate our submission to Christ. How? Because when we invite others by telling them what Christ has done for us, we demonstrate to them Who it is that has changed our life.

    Our world wants so deperately to be happy. Here, in the first, psalm, God gives us the recipe: choose your friends carefully, devote yourself to his word, and allow him to plant you into spiritual maturity so that all you do will bring about kingdom success.

    The Pursuit of Happiness Psalm 1:1-6 [Please contact me at kerry.n.haynes@gmail.com for sermon outline in Word.] A while back there was a movie called, “The Pursuit of Happyness,” and it was a good movie.

    The sermon uses "Linebacker Evangelism" (which can be seen and/or purchased at sermoncentral.com) to set the stage for a Friend Day later in the month.

    OPEN: VIDEO: Linebacker Evangelism (offered on-line by Sermoncentral.com) APPLY: I fell in love with that video the first time I saw it because it makes fun of the idea of forced evangelism (something I HAVE to do!) while at the same time highlighting why we often don’t talk to others about our ...read more

    Love Breakts The Rules Series

    Contributed by Kevin Ruffcorn on Jul 31, 2005
    based on 34 ratings
     | 5,739 views

    In the story of Jesus healing the paralytic, we see the love of the man’s friends and the love of Jesus coming breaking the rules in order to change lives.

    Matthew 9:2-7 “Love Breaks the Rules” INTRODUCTION What is love? Love is a popular word in the English language. Perhaps its popularity has led to its over use and its loss of meaning. Certainly “I love spaghetti,” means something very different from the, “I love you,” that we whisper to our ...read more

    Friendship With God

    based on 14 ratings
     | 8,682 views

    Prayer is more than just asking God. It is communion between two friends. God seeks friendship with man, for He is an intensely personal God.

    The passage we’ve just read today is prayer – when a man meets God and talks to Him. It is, the Bible says, “as a man speaks with his friend” (v.11). We will not fully understand prayer if we think about it only as something to do with asking something from God. Prayer is not just about ...read more

    Why did Jesus stay at the Jordan while His sick friend, Lazarus, lay dying in Bethany? Maybe a story like this one was the reason.

    The Compassion of Your Savior John 11:31-32 31 When the Jews who had been with Mary in the house, comforting her, noticed how quickly she got up and went out, they followed her, supposing she was going to the tomb to mourn there. 32 When Mary reached the place where Jesus was and saw him, she ...read more

    Dramatic monologue, done as if I were Daniel, reporting on his three friends in the fiery furnace. Focus on spiritual identity in a power-hungry world.

    (Singing) “When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie, His grace, all-sufficient, shall be thy supply. The flame shall not hurt thee, He only designs thy dross to consume and thy gold to refine.” Whew! Does it seem hot in here to you?
