    The human body needs to lack but one thing to die, if that one thing is the heart. A house needs to lack but one thing to fall, if that thing is the foundation. The sky needs to lack but one thing, to go black if that thing is the sun. And a life needs

    based on 14 ratings
     | 8,145 views

    One of the most important activities in which a Christian should engage in is that of prayer.

    How to ASK in Prayer Matthew 7:7 There was a pastor who had a parrot. All the parrot would say was, “Let’s pray, let’s pray.” The pastor tried to teach him to say other things but to no avail. He learned that one of his deacons had a parrot. That parrot would only say, “Let’s kiss. Let’s ...read more

    Verse 10 has sixteen monosyllables, only one of which has as many as five letters, and yet they tell the story of God’s eternal mission in its fullness

    THE COMPELLING MISSION OF THE SAVIOR Luke 19:1-10 There’s a story about a local fitness center, which was offering $1,000 to anyone who could demonstrate that they were stronger than the owner of the place. Here’s how it worked. This muscle man would squeeze a lemon until all the juice ran into a ...read more

    based on 24 ratings
     | 15,051 views

    We all have built-in prejudices that God must break down before we be truly effective with the Gospel. We see Him doing just that in our text.

    When human barriers come down, HEAVENLY BLESSINGS come down! Acts 10:1-34 Have you ever noticed that the guy driving slower than you is always a jerk, whereas the guy driving faster than you is always a maniac? By fallen nature, we’re all prone to justify ourselves and to condemn those who ...read more

    based on 14 ratings
     | 9,413 views

    There are many "model" preachers and sermons in Scripture. Is there anything about "model" hearers?

    Acts 10:33 MODEL HEARERS Hearing can be a real problem. An old couple was sitting by the fireside. He looked over at her, had a romantic thought, and said, “After fifty years, I’ve found you tried and true.” The wife’s hearing wasn’t very good, so she said, “What?” He ...read more

    Licking The Lips

    Contributed by Jimmy Chapman on Jan 26, 2008
    based on 8 ratings
     | 7,657 views

    Now I believe that there are four bona-fide instances of lip-licking instances found in the Scriptures.

    LICKING THE LIPS The Bible has much to say about the lips. Proverbs 10:19 “In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise.” The more a man talks, the more mistakes he will make Wisdom is manifest in what we don’t say, rather than in what we say.. ...read more

    "Our Father Which Art In Heaven”

    Contributed by Jimmy Chapman on Jan 30, 2008
    based on 15 ratings
     | 10,571 views

    In short, Jesus is teaching us how to pray. Jesus said, “After this manner therefore pray ye.” The word “manner” simply means “in this way.” Jesus was saying that this is the way we ought to pray.

    Matthew 6:9-13 “Our Father which art in heaven” I read about a soldier who was caught one night returning to his quarters from the nearby woods, and he was charged with holding communications with the enemy. The soldier pleaded that he had gone into the woods to pray. The commanding ...read more

    It's Not Much, But You Can Have It

    based on 54 ratings
     | 23,285 views

    Shamgar is only mentioned twice in the book of Judges - in out text and in 5:6-7. Shamgar’s story almost seems incidental, but because he was too important to be omitted he is included in the Scriptures.

    It’s not much, but you can have it! Judges 3:31 Israel should have been fully enjoying the Promised Land but their inconsistency in obeying God and their imitation of the idolatrous culture around them led to failure. Israel had a habit of turning from God. Whenever they did so God would ...read more

     | 26,093 views

    I want to talk about what Christians should be known for. According to the Bible there are some things that others should know about Christians.

    MARKS OF A CHRISTIAN Acts 11: 19-30 Several years ago Time magazine carried a story about a controversy that once raged in a Waterloo, Iowa courthouse over the question, “What is a Christian?” It all started when a local doctor who had been very wealthy died, and when his will was read it was ...read more

    How does a church with a sense of expectancy act

    Living in Expectation Acts 1:9-26 My daughter is reading a book that appears to be a popular book in the homes of mothers who are expecting today. It has a catchy title and I’ll bet some of you have seen it, too. It’s entitled, “What to Expect when You’re Expecting.” Isn’t that a great title? ...read more

    There is a forgotten word in the preaching of today. It is the word REPENTANCE.

    Except Ye Repent Luke 13:1-5 There is a forgotten word in the preaching of today. It is the word REPENTANCE. Pulpits and preachers are strangely silent today regarding the message of repentance. Repentance is the subject of our text this morning. Jesus was the finest teacher who ever lived. ...read more
