    Years ago, we often heard about churches and their strategies to win their city to Christ. Now it is a forgotten vision, but it's our last great hope.

    Introduction: When I was a young pastor in a town of 300, I believed God wanted me to win that city to Christ. Years ago, we often heard about churches and their strategies to win their city to Christ. Ill: Today, it is rare to ever hear anyone talk about it or see a church strategize to do it. ...read more

    God surrounds us and speaks to us but it is required that we are in position with the proper equipment to listen and heed Him.

    Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed? For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. He is despised and rejected of ...read more

    Understanding your audience is important! But while it is EASY to see this in MISSIONS, we fail to apply this to evangelism!

    Let me share a fictitious story about two missionaries and their approach to missions. These two missionary couples are not real. Their stories however are very real and reflect a variety of common missionary situations. To add simplicity (and a small degree of good-heartedness) to our story, ...read more

    Where is God? This was my first sermon at a new church, and it showed several priorities: worship, ministry, and outreach.

    Acts 17:16-28 – Not Far From Each One of Us Today I would like to share with you a fairly simple thought. It’s been debated and dissected over the years. A person may not know what to do with it, but one thing is for sure: you can’t escape it. That truth... is that God is near. ...read more

    Like Paul, we are challenged to translate the message of God's love and grace into words and actions that the people around us understand.

    Acts 17:22-31 “Translating the Message” INTRODUCTION [Play video] Some you may have seen this video previously, but I think it has a powerful message—a message that bears repeating—and it underscores today’s Scripture lesson. Paul was a man on fire. He had ...read more

    A Heart For The Lost

     | 6,981 views

    How can we develop a heart for the lost, a heart like the apostle Paul's?

    How would you describe someone who has a heart for dogs? Well, we would say they love dogs. We know this because they’re constantly surrounded by dogs. They’re the one who constantly post cute pictures of dogs on facebook. Dogs are their passion, their first love. They go out of their ...read more

    Go public with your faith. Touch lives where you are. Believe you have the answer the lost world needs to hear.

    If God leads us, and leads us to where He wants us to be, so that we can share what we know about Him and Christ, and thus allowing His Spirit to work in the hearts of the hearers, then it goes to show that all of us can make an impact in someone’s life. • We may not have planned for ...read more

    God is close to each one of us, but not as close as He wants to be. The up close God wants you to get close to Him if you are willing.

    The Up Close God Text: Acts 17:16-34 Intro: After being chased out of Thessalonica & Berea for preaching the good news about Jesus, the apostle Paul spent a few days in the city of Athens.

    There will always be some kind of opposition when preaching the Gospel and different results, but Paul shows that we should preach it anyway.
