Great In The Sight Of The Lord

Contributed by John Gaston on Dec 4, 2014

Jesus said there was no greater prophet in the Old Testament period than John. That’s an astounding statement. What made John so great? I want us to look at FOUR marks of greatness in John, so that we can make our lives great too.

GREAT IN THE SIGHT OF THE LORD Luke 1:15 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: HOW THEY GOT SAM TO CHURCH 1. The story is told of a small church where the small congregation had tried for years to get the biggest “sinner” in town, Sam, to come to church. 2. Sam the sinner would have nothing to do ...read more

What If We Still Only Had The Baptism Of John? A Series Of Anomalies.

Contributed by Wendy Gravolin on Jan 11, 2015

Exploring the anomaly of the Ephesian disciples in Acts, who 'knew not' Jesus' Baptism, imagining being left with the baptiser's legalistic, Spiritless message today compared to the superiority of knowing Jesus and becoming his Spirit filled disciples.

What if we still only had the baptism of John: A series of anomalies. Rev'd Wendy Gravolin Jan 12th 2015. Acts 19:1-7 / Mark 1: 4-11 I came across a most fascinating anomaly this week.

Encouraging Others To Succeed

Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Feb 17, 2022

This message looks at an account of how encouragement was extended to a young man who had made a mistake, and reveals that encouragement is greatly beneficial in our endeavors at expanding the Lord’s kingdom.

In a world where people are often quick to judge and criticize, we’re all in need of some encouragement, wouldn’t you agree? I am going to be preaching about encouragement this morning. So, what is encouragement? Well, it’s defined as “the act of giving courage, or confidence of success.”(1) I ...read more

Provoking Thoughts From First John (1 Of 16)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 10, 2022

1 John is called one of the “General Epistles,” because it was not sent to a specific church. Rather, it was sent to churches in general.

The three books of John are referred to as “letters, however, the first was not written in the form of a letter. For example, it has no salutation nor conclusion. In fact, it has all the characteristics of a sermon in which a pastor is revealing his love for God’s people. To have a good ...read more

Provoking Thoughts From 1 John (2 Of 16)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 10, 2022

In the first sermon it was mentioned that in order to understand the books of 1, 2, and 3 John, we first needed to understand some things about the place John wrote from, Ephesus.

Because this is essential, I would like to refresh your memory before we get into the heart of this sermon. We dealt with these FOUR things about the Ephesian Christians: (1) THEIR HERITAGE. They were second and third generation Christians. Their parents and grandparents had been in the ...read more

Provoking Thoughts From 1 John (4 Of 16)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 10, 2022

In 1 John, chapter one, John had the audacity to tell some of those who claimed to be saved that they were liars.

Evidently John never took a course in “HOW TO WIN FRIENDS AND INFLUENCE PEOPLE”. If he had taken it, he would have had a hard time passing the course. We know this because we see he called those people liars five times. He used “liar(s)” in: • 1 John 1:10. • 1 John 2:4. • 1 John 2:22. • 1 John ...read more

Provoking Thoughts From 1 John (5 Of 16)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 10, 2022

In a previous sermon we dealt with what John had to say about how we can KNOW that WE KNOW THE LORD.

We discovered that anyone can say that they know the Lord...anyone! All one has to say is, “I know the Lord.” John used the word, “saith,” numerous times. He referred to it in: • 1 John 2:4. He said, “HE THAT SAITH, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not ...read more
