Jonah Makes Music In The Acid House

Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Nov 21, 2010

A talk given as part 2 of a 4 part series with Churches Together in Billericay. Jonah was finally doing the right thing. Jonah 2 is a Psalm of thanksgiving, contrition and rededication. As individuals and Churches can we join in with that Psalm?

The Special We

Contributed by Steven Simala Grant on Sep 8, 2009

As Christians we are chosen by God to join others in a church community where we find belonging, significance, love, and where we serve one another. A church is not about catering to our own individual needs and wants.

The Special WE September 6, 2009 1 Pet 2:9-12 Intro: We are special. That is a true statement, and an important one. We are special – we, the people of God called Laurier Heights Baptist Church are special. As true as the statement is, it is problematic. We hear “special”, and think ...read more

The Necessity Of Preparation Series

Contributed by Matthew Sullivan on Mar 30, 2008

This series is about inspiring and communicating God’s vision to us as individuals and to the church overall. Because if we ever lose site of our vision then we will become an ineffective church and then often it becomes about the building and traditions.

Witness At The Well

Contributed by Charles Scott on Feb 25, 2008

Jesus ministry to the Woman at the Well shows how to bring the message of God’s healing love to individuals; his efforts in Samaria changed a life, then Samaria, then Ephesus and resonates today in every nation where the Gospel is preached.

Contributed by Olu-Timi Lewis Afolabi on Jan 5, 2014

Sharing Ministry Together

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 13, 2021

When the volunteer workload is placed on the shoulders of just a handful of people, then these individuals get burnt out; and since they can’t do everything, then a lot of needs go unmet. Ministry is something to be shared among all believers.

I wish to begin our message by sharing a personal account contributed by a pastor who was serving at a church in Washington State during the wake of the Mount St. Hellens eruption. This pastor said, After Mount St. Helens blew up in May 1980, [the] church needed cleaning up. Ash was in the ...read more

Christmas Greeting Card Sermon Ii: Peace! Series

Contributed by Charles Cunningham on Sep 30, 2019

Whereas world and Church leaders talk about it, nothing seems as elusive as Peace on Earth - so, individually Christians bring about God's Peace by embracing the Prince of Peace as Savior and Lord of Life.

CHRISTMAS GREETING CARD SERMON II: PEACE World leaders talk about it. Church leaders pray for it. Ordinary folks long for it. Yet, there seems to be nothing more elusive than the PEACE that we talk about, pray for and long for. Since the beginning ...read more

The Baptism Of John Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jun 21, 2021

Re-baptism is a practice of some Baptist churches. This message looks at re-baptism in the New Testament, and discusses how when a person’s baptism is done under the wrong belief system, then the individual needs to be re-baptized.

I have entitled our message this morning, “The Baptism of John.” We have recently been learning about baptism, and today, I am going to be discussing false baptisms; and the best way to present this message is by looking at what the New Testament refers to as “the baptism of John.” This was a ...read more

Unity In The Body Series

Contributed by Doug Fannon on Jul 16, 2018

We are called to unity, not just to be together. No one was ever called to walk this Christian life alone. Every member of the body is responsible to maintain the unity. We maintain unity by individually and collectively keeping our focus on Jesus.

Concerning unity in the church, one of my favorit commentators and Christian authors, A.W. Tozer, the great evangelist and Christian theologian from 60 years ago, commented: Has it ever occurred to you that one hundred pianos all tuned to the same tuning fork are automatically tuned to each other? ...read more

Again expressing gratitude for Philippi. Paul understood the mutual benefit they enjoyed through Christ. They shared and received from each other. We too benefit from each other, meeting individual needs and strengthening the church.
