    Not Progressing Is Regressing

    Contributed by Victor Yap on Jan 24, 2009
     | 6,410 views

    Paul, Pt. 20

    NOT PROGRESSING IS REGRESSING (PHIL. 3:12-14) Time and tide waits for no man. Can you imagine using the typewriter to type your paper today? How about typing a dissertation over a hundred pages thick? Times were we had to use “white out” in liquid or paper form, embarrassingly leaving blotches ...read more

    This is in my opinion a very challenging task (not impossible). How do we carry out the demanding responsibility of raising a family in the world in which we live today?

    STRENGTHENING THE FAMILY IN TODAY’S SOCIETY Given on Saturday, 14 June 2008 For 1st Annual Family Life Conference At Shiloh Baptist Church Waukegan, Illinois I would like to take this opportunity to thank Sister Loretta Henton and the Mission Department for this awesome opportunity to speak at the ...read more

    Chaos And Control - Positive Perspective Or Faith Series

     | 11,950 views

    Where does a positive perspective end and faith begin? Faith is not simply hoping that things will work out someday. If a positive perspective is what brings me success, then why do I need God?

    A rabbi was at odds with his congregation. The president of the synagogue said, ”Rabbi, we must have a conference to settle this dispute once and for all.” So the rabbi, the president an the ten elders met together to discuss the issue – but the rabbi soon discovered that he was the sole dissenting ...read more

    What might happen if our church were to follow the Starbucks example and temporarily close its doors to examine the way we follow Jesus?

    Starbucks Opens A new Starbucks has opened, of all places, at St. Rita’s Medical Center. We had never tasted Starbucks coffee, so last Wednesday we stopped in to see what it was like. With all the flavors and sizes and prices up on the board, it wasn’t easy to decide what we would order ...read more

    An eye opening look at faith as it was meant to be, not what the church has made it today... FAITH is not about you.

    The Search for Faith This morning I want to talk about faith. The subject of faith has been preached on, written about, study guides offered, instructional series presented and on and on… the topic has an exhaustive amount of research and teaching on it…why? Because we as Christians understand ...read more

    God's Letter Of Recommendation

    Contributed by Mark Adams on Oct 21, 2006
    based on 24 ratings
     | 15,118 views

    This sermon relies heavily on a visual illustration. It is based on the passage in 2 Cor. 3 which says we are letters from God. It calls for serious dedication to living for Christ.

    ______________________________________________________ NOTE: This sermon relies heavily upon a visual illustration. It’s based on Paul’s statement that we are a ’letter from Christ’. Here is a description of the visual I made for this lesson: Before the sermon, I prepared a manilla envelope, ...read more

    based on 14 ratings
     | 6,369 views

    Humanity is at the same time insignificant and the pinnacle of God’s work of creation

    The danger with a series of sermons on the theology of humanity, the danger of thinking about who we are, what we’re here for, what it means to be human, is that it could, very easily, turn into just another exercise in humanism. We could spend our time thinking about all the great things human ...read more

    Pentecost did not begin with a roomful of disciples in the third decade of the first century; it was made complete through them by the same God who introduced it 1,500 years before.

    (Other passage: 1 Corinthians 12:4-13) In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to you, Lord, my rock and my redeemer. Amen.

    based on 4 ratings
     | 16,062 views

    God can use the ordinary things in our lives for His extraordinary purpose. Also, this is a great sermon to finish the spiritual gifts study with.

    Introduction: "When God is ready to do what seems to be the impossible He takes what appears to be the improbable and transforms it into the improvable." It has been said of the Church: "20% of the people do 80% of the work of the Church." It has also been said of the Church that: "20% of the ...read more

    The Secret Of Spiritual Strength

    Contributed by John Gaston on Aug 6, 2017
     | 13,857 views

    2 Chron. 16:9 gives a critical requirement for God's willingness to intervene: our full heart-commitment. King Asa is God's example for having it -- and NOT having it. The outcomes are striking and should make us sit up and take notice.

    THE SECRET OF SPIRITUAL STRENGTH 2 Chron. 16:9 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: HE’LL BE THERE WAITING 1. A preacher who had suffered extremely strained relations with his congregation was finally appointed chaplain at the state prison. 2. Excited to be rid of him, the people of the congregation came ...read more

    Everything we do as unto God with a humble spirit, is an act of worship unto God and part of our diligence and pursuit of our faith in our relationship with God we have through Jesus!

    Pride, The Glory Stealer... Illus. From the book a life beyond amazing, by David Jeremiah. In Detroit in the 1930s, three young men boarded a bus and attempted to pick a fight with a passenger sitting alone in the back.

    a sermon about Jesus' invitation to drink "living water"

    Jesus’ Invitation To Drink (John 7:37-39) A man walks into a library and asks for a bottle of water. The librarian says, “This is a library.” So, the man whispers, “Sorry, a bottle of water, please.” You can’t overestimate the significance of water to life. A website lists no less than sixteen ...read more
