    Asking For Your Inheritance

    Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Mar 16, 2021
     | 7,301 views

    Our greatest treasure, the inheritance that we seek, isn’t down here: not in the stuff, not in the people, not in the honours. But seek God. Desire Him. Long for the one inheritance that is incorruptible, that is undefiled, and that does not fade away.

    They say that children should never talk about their inheritance. Sure, one day Mom and Dad might leave something to the kids. But until that day, children shouldn’t worry about what they’ll receive, or daydream about how to spend it. We know what happened to the Prodigal Son, when he started ...read more

    The very crux of Christianity rests in the fact of the resurrection of Jesus. Without that truth our hope, preaching and lives are in vain.

    I Cor. 15:12-21 “Hoax, Hallucination, or Historical Fact?” Intro: The Key to our Hope is found in the Resurrection of Christ…PREACH! Without it our faith, hope and lives are empty…. I.

    The spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; This is the key to all work in God! If the Lord is not there, then we labour in vain.

    61:1 The spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; 2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the ...read more

    Contributed by Pastor (Dr.) Francesca Fajinmi on Dec 31, 2016
    based on 5 ratings
     | 16,124 views

    Our labor bears fruits but the fruits are not worth eating. This sermon debunks the idea that the fruit of our labor is worth eating or enjoying. This is the first part of a two part sermon

    Labor generally signifies heavy duty task, work or effort. Oftentimes, it is something we'd rather not do but because of some inherent benefits we continue to do it. For a married woman, who trusted and believed God for the fruit of the womb, getting pregnant and going into labor - though hard, it ...read more

    At no time in my lifetime have I witnessed such a widespread and long-term anxiety as we are in now. Our fear and anxiety have multiple layers to them like a tall cake – only this isn’t sweet to the taste.

    For many of us the question isn’t, do we want God’s help? The question is, are we willing to do what’s necessary to receive God’s help.

    This message you may be interested to know isn’t really about weather you should wear your seatbelts, it is how ever about a Christians responsibility to observe the laws of the land.

    Introduction: Mandatory seatbelt laws, the talk of Greeley in recent days! I am not sure what your position is on the subject. Opinions have varied in recent newspaper letters to the editor.

    This is a single verse sermon with three points and proposition. It isn’t a manuscript but is more than a simple outline. The sermon is about leaving the weariness of dead religion to enter into a living relationship with God.

    Text - Matt 11:28 Introduction A strong young athlete was wadding waist deep in the shallow part of a recreational lake. Unknowingly he stepped off an underwater ledge and plunged fifteen feet beneath the surface of the water. After several seconds he bobbed to the top of the water flailing ...read more

     | 4,053 views

    That's a strange question for a preacher to ask, isn't it? Yet, it's a question that is asked by many, even those who profess to be Christians, especially during a time of trial and tribulation.

    That's a strange question for a preacher to ask, isn't it? Yet, it's a question that is asked by many, even those who profess to be Christians, especially during a time of trial and tribulation.

     | 14,183 views

    There are many in the world right now who claim to be Apostles. It is not for me to say who is and who isn’t, but we can see what the hallmarks of true and false Apostles are from the Scriptures.
