Preaching Where Christ Is Not Known Series

Contributed by David Dykes on Oct 31, 2014

To many, Christianity is such a personal thing; they don’t want to share it. They have a ticket to heaven and don’t really care whether anybody else goes to heaven or not. We’re using first aid on ourselves, when there are hurting people all around us.

INTRODUCTION For almost two years, I have been preaching through the book of Romans. We are coming to the last words of the Apostle Paul, and we get a glimpse of the missionary heart of this great Apostle.

They Believed In Spirit-Filled Preaching.

Contributed by Ralph Jenkins on May 28, 2013

I think it’s interesting that not until Peter was filled with the Holy Spirit that he began to preach. No preacher, should ever seek to preach without having been filled with the Holy Spirit.

“They Believed in Spirit-Filled Preaching” Acts 2:14-41 In the last message from Acts we saw that the Apostles and first church believed in the Holy Spirit. They had waited for what the Father had promised, the indwelling and infilling of the Holy Spirit. There was no way they could ...read more

Preach For Free? Must Be Crazy!

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Feb 24, 2017

People say preachers are in it for the money, but if one comes just ready to preach for free they think you are nuts. Where's the win-win? ;-)

Ever since I have been saved, I have heard that "Preachers are only in it for the money." My first pastor was driving a twelve-year-old car, raising four kids on a salary that was equal to what my father-in-law was paying in weekly taxes. Admittedly, when you look at the lifestyles of ...read more

Preaching In The Power Of The Holy Ghost

Contributed by Bishop Prof. Julius Soyinka on Mar 23, 2017
