    On the whole, our churches are not what they ought to be, as evidenced by the conditions brought forth in this message, which are actually indications of the need for revival.

    The Church’s Time Of Tragedy Text: Acts 20:28-32 Intro: As you listened to that title, you may have entertained the thought that the Church has always experienced tragedy of one form or another since its inception. If you did, you would be right. The Church of Jesus Christ has endured physical ...read more

     | 8,035 views

    Jesus said "The Kingdom of God is at hand". What does that mean? To have a Kingdom you must have a King! This sermon shows Elijah, living in faith of that Kingdom, and in recognizing that trusting in the supernatural rather than the natural.

    THE ELIJAH CHURCH IS A KINGDOM REVEALING CHURCH INTRO: This is part of a series using the life of Elijah as a picture of the last day Church. It is also a stand alone sermon. 1 Kings 17:7-24 Some time later the brook dried up because there had been no rain in the land. Then the word of the LORD ...read more

    "How To Get A Crowd In Church?"

    Contributed by Jerry Depoy on Oct 14, 2004
    based on 65 ratings
     | 4,097 views

    Instead of working to get a crowd in Church on Sunday, we need to concentrate on winning one soul to Christ for eternity! There are only two important points to this message, 1. Forget about the Crowd, and 2. Go after ONE.

    Title: “How to Get a Crowd in Church?” Every preacher wants the blessing of God upon his Church. I too, want to see a crowd in my Church, but how to do it is another thing to consider. There are only two points to this message. May God challenge your heart, as he did mine, in preparing this ...read more
