    Discusses the sin of Pride

    The Seven Deadly Sins Introduction It has been said time and time again “sin creates a desire to sin”. I have found this to be a very true statement. When I think of the lies that I told as a child, if I got away with the first lie, then it became easier and easier to keep lying. It was only ...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.

    Turn Up The Heat

     | 8,988 views

    The side of God that many ignore or pretend not to know.

    Turn up the Heat I was thinking the other day about the way people think of God and I received a message which is quite strong. I say that it is quite strong because we all have an idea or concept of how God is. We all have the concept that He is willing to forgive us, and that He always has His ...read more

    God's Letter Of Recommendation

    Contributed by Mark Adams on Oct 21, 2006
    based on 24 ratings
     | 15,270 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

    The Enigma Of Humanity Series

    based on 14 ratings
     | 6,440 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

     | 7,800 views

    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

    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

     | 7,897 views

    Part of preparing to celebrate Easter is examining ourselves, whether there is anything not of the new creation in us.

    I’d like to talk to you this evening about humility. Humility has been much misunderstood and, frankly, is quite unpopular today. We can say, “Pride cometh before the fall,” but to really live that out requires radical commitment—a lifestyle that the world is unable to ...read more

     | 16,204 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
