    Unity For The Sake Of The Community

     | 5,443 views

    My talk for the 2012 service of unity organised by Churches Together in Billericay (CTB). Jesus prayed for unity amongst believers so that the community would see and believe that Jesus was sent by God. It was a prayer for unity for the sake of the wider

    The church is the body of Christ; but have you ever thought about what it would be like if the members of our physical bodies behaved like the members of the spiritual body sometimes do? For example, one day the heart says, “You know, I’m just stuck in a rut. For the last 43 years all ...read more

    First sermon in this series encouraging us that we need each other.

    I am so excited about what God is about to do. Today we begin something that I hope will be revolutionary. I hope after 40 days of focusing on community that we will be different. I will be different. You will be different. But above all we will be different together. This focus on community ...read more

    United We Fly

    Often churches are not united because people kill the vision God has for the church, this sermon shows what kills a vision.

    UNITED WE FLY (ALL my sermons use illustrations from www.sermoncentral.com and all scripture is NIV unless otherwise noted) This church is about people reaching people. If a young person gets saved then they will reach 19% of their family. If a woman gets saved she will reach 32% of her family. ...read more

    The Belt Of Truth Series

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Oct 12, 2014
     | 6,318 views

    The Belt of Truth supports us in the daily battles of life, in a world where Truth is relative, where people make their own truth. God's word is truth that provides direction and ultimately victory.

    “Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist.” Are you properly equipped for battle? When I deployed to Iraq, an essential item of issued equipment was my web belt, which we call our “battle rattle.” It doesn’t seem important, yet on it ...read more

    Being Sanctified by the word that Jesus delivered to us means being removed from the common life in order to be used in high and holy purposes.

    SCRIPTURE READING You can find the Scripture reading in your Bibles in the 17th chapter of the Gospel of John, or on the Scripture Reading insert in your bulletin. These are the words of Jesus. He is praying for His disciples of every age. He is praying for us. John 17:14 I have given them your ...read more

    Jesus prayer in John 17 closes with a powerful request for us who believe through the message of his first disciples. We are called to be one!

    Opening story... Robert Putman, a Professor at Harvard, wrote a book called Bowling Alone. In it he documents the decline in community life over the last four decades.

    As I read and meditate on this passage of Scripture, I find myself in awe of the profound truth of Jesus’ prayer. For many Christians it is hard to comprehend, much less receive. Yet, Jesus words are truth...

    John 17:20. "I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; 21. "that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. 22. "And the glory which You gave Me I ...read more

    A sermon for the 7th Sunday of Eastertide on acceptance and unity.

    Unity in Oneness – John 17: 20 – 26 Intro: I don’t believe Jesus was naïve enough to think that people in his church are going to agree on how many candles to put on the communion table, whether a wooden cross or metal is more appropriate or whether to use styrofoam, paper, ...read more

    We can celebrate our denominational differences without it causing division because Jesus was clear in his prayer that we are to be unified in spirit and purpose.

    AUTHOR, CHUCK SWINDOLL, WROTE THAT “UNION HAS AN AFFILIATION WITH OTHERS BUT NO COMMON BOND THAT MAKES THEM ONE IN HEART. UNIFORMITY HAS EVERYONE LOOKING AND THINKING ALIKE.

    based on 5 ratings
     | 5,376 views

    A short talk for a midweek Communion calling upon local believers to pray for, work for and live for the complete unity that Jesus prayed for. Not uniformity (because we're all different) but UNITY, in Jesus.

    Jesus prayed to his Heavenly Father for you. On the night he was betrayed and arrested (John 18:2), after he had washed his disciples’ feet (13:5), Jesus prayed an important prayer for you as individuals, for us together, and for the worldwide body of believers. He prayed for future ...read more

    God saves our lives by conforming us to his Word by his Spirit.

    Scripture Introduction “The only way to keep a broken vessel full is by keeping the faucet turned on.” We are broken people. We may dress nicely to be seen by others, but the cracks remain even when plastered over. So Jesus asks God the Father to continue to sanctify us in the truth. ...read more
