    Getting Rid Of The Problem Of Evangelism

    based on 15 ratings

    Forget about EVANGELISM -- we aren’t doing it anyway. Just think about inviting people to something joyful.

    I have been in the ministry for 26 years now, and I have preached a lot of sermons on Evangelism. What a waste of time. We don’t like to think about evangelism. We don’t like to do evangelism. We always want someone else to handle the evangelism programs in our churches. I’m not sure why ...read more

    In this message we look at 5 snapshots/pictures of the church. These snapshots help the listener see the NT church as it is intended to be.

    “The High Cost of Discipleship” Luke 14:25-35 I think that one of the most deceptive things we see in our world today are ads that tell us one thing but when we look closer there is a lot they are not telling us. Ads for cars are notorious for this. You’ve seen them. They advertise a car at one ...read more

    Fervent Foot Faith

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Oct 14, 2009
     | 3,820 views

    We must put feet on our faith. Evangelism is credible if we make certain our lives are clean, if we expose what we believe to others, and if we go confidently into the world with our faith.

    Feet are ugly. That’s what someone suggested to me the (other day. Feet are ugly. I can’ t remember why that subject came up, but she insisted that feet are bony, unkempt, twisted, weird, and much the worse for wear after forty or fifty years of use. She said, if I recall correctly, that God must ...read more

    Since today is Mothers Day, I thought I would begin with some statistics from Moms on their most difficult moments. These results were taken from a nation wide survey of moms with children under six. The “Worst place to have to change a diaper” 47% said a public restroom with no ...read more

How do you tactfully give a gift which you’ve been given and remember who gave it to you, so that you don’t regift to the giver? That can be pretty exhausting in and of itself. ...read more
