Sent Into The World

Contributed by Bruce Lee on May 28, 2025

40 days after the resurrection is the ascension. But as Jesus is ascending into heaven he is sending those left behind out into the world to make disciples and to transform the world. To discover unexpected joy in serving and giving.

Love Not The World

Contributed by Wilson Oshorakpor on Jan 15, 2025

The Light Of The World

Contributed by Larry Grant on Dec 15, 2024

Mark is the only writer to record the healing of the of the deaf/mute and the healing of the blind at Bethsaida. John only teaches about the man born blind. What ties these three lessons together is that the Bible records Jesus using His spittle to heal them.

John 9:1-7 (NKJV) "The Light of the World" December 15, 2024 The four Gospels record more than 35 miracles, but apart from Jesus’ resurrection, feeding the 5,000 is the only miracle mentioned by all four.

Surprising The World Premium Sermon

Contributed by PRO Premium on Oct 9, 2023

This sermon introduction discusses the anxiety some people feel towards evangelism, questioning if faith-sharing should be anxiety-inducing, and referencing Michael Frost's book "Surprise the World" which suggests that not everyone should be expected to evangelize in the same way.

Why does the word ‘evangelism’ cause some people so much anxiety? Do you get images of door-knocking or approaching strangers in shopping malls? Does it make you feel like you’re being turned into a reluctant recruitment officer for the church? Should faith-sharing really be anxiety producing? In ...read more
