  • Spiritual Climate Change

    Contributed by Maurice Mccarthy on Jul 22, 2013
    based on 8 ratings
     | 26,299 views

    There are two main climates I want to preach on today, the first an atmosphere in our church that is conducive for a move of the Spirit of God, and the second is an atmosphere in our church and our personal lives that is attractive to the lost.

    Spiritual Climate Change The basic premise of global warming is that certain things done over an extended period of time will heat up the earth. Our message today is about improving the spiritual climate in our lives. There are things that we can do that effect our spiritual climate personally, in ...read more

    It's not great faith we need, but faith in a great God.

    Luke 17:1-10 "Faith in a Great God" Here in the first 10 verses of Luke Chapter 17 Jesus gives His disciples and us four teachings: 1. One is about tempting others, or causing others to sin. 2. One is on forgiving others. 3. One is on the need for us to act on our faith. 4. And the fourth ...read more

  • "The High Cost Of Discipleship"

    Contributed by David Henderson on Jul 22, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,437 views

    In this message we look at the real cost of discipleship. We have watered it down for today's culture. Jesus never did that.

    “The High Cost of Discipleship” Luke 14:25-35 Last week we left the disciples standing on the shore. They had just brought in such a large catch of fish that the nets were nearly breaking and when they placed all the fish in the boats they began to sink. Jesus said to them, come and ...read more

    Christmas in July John 1:1-18 Rev. Mark A. Barber Several years ago during the Great Recession, several retailers in an attempt to increase slumping sales advertised a “Christmas in July” sale. They put out the Christmas decorations and even played “Christmas” songs in the stores to try to get ...read more

  • How Is Your Love Life Series

    Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Aug 12, 2013
     | 4,183 views

    There is too much emphasis in today's preaching about practical and earthly matters concerning earthly love. There is a much higher love life we need to cultivate.

    How is your Love Life? I John 2:15-17 Introduction Last time we met, we discussed the new commandment which was really not new, but was the one which we have had all along. Even though John did not elaborate further on what this command was, it was obvious that it was closely tied to the command ...read more

  • Do Not Take Side Series

    Contributed by Dr. Amen Howard on Aug 13, 2013
     | 6,833 views

    One of the great characteristics of the body of Christ is to care about the burdens and sufferings of one another. However, as we seek to console and encourage friends that have been offended, we may be tempted to take up their offense against another.

    In sympathy, we may tend to take their part against the pastor, the church or whoever they blame for the offense. This is very unwise and an unscriptural thing to do, considering that your friend may be the cause of his own/her offense, or trying to drag you out of faith. His/her hurt feelings may ...read more

    The "why" and "how" of reaching and teaching people for Jesus.

    Let’s Go Fishing. (note: This sermon appears in different forms in my files. I believe I have not copied or stolen anything from anyone else. But, if I have please forgive me.

    argument for Creationism

    “The Pitiful Fool” September 1, 2013 Psalm 19:1-4 “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge. They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is heard from them. ...read more

  • The Here And The Hereafter

    Contributed by Luther Sexton on Feb 28, 2019
     | 3,403 views

    What I have just read would bear little weight to anyone in the real world if it had been written by some ordinary person in some ordinary book. However, the writer and the book here spoken of are both far beyond ordinary.

    THE HERE AND THE HEREAFTER SCRIPTURE: Romans 8:18 “For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.” II Corinthians 4:17 “For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and ...read more

    Contributed by J Jeffrey Smead on Sep 22, 2013
    based on 53 ratings
     | 37,196 views

    This parable is deeply embedded in Middle Eastern tradition and culture, and it is to that culture that interpreters should turn.

    By the fourth century the parable of the unjust manager ..... which we read today ...... and the parable of the prodigal son were separated by ..... a chapter division. If the monks who established those divisions ...... had kept the two parables in the same chapter, ....... The entire history of ...read more

  • Joseph: A Life Of Many Colors Series

    Contributed by Daniel Habben on Sep 22, 2013
     | 6,460 views

    Red (passion) Joseph shows he handles well the passionate advances of Potiphar's wife because he had a passion (deep love) for the one true God.

    Last week we started a sermon series on Joseph, son of Jacob. Joseph’s the guy who had that cool coat – the one that’s often reported to be of many colors. While we’re not sure whether or not that coat was actually colorful, its owner’s life certainly was. That’s ...read more

    To avoid burnout and stay focused on our mission to share the good news we must be raised up revved up and prayed up according to Isaiah 40:21-31 1st Corinthians 9:16-23 and Mark 1:29-39

    Raised Up Revved Up Prayed Up Isaiah 40:21-31 I Corinthians 9:16-23 Mark 1:29-39 Most of us are very busy and we associate this with being productive. But I have found that everyone likes to declare a “snow day” once in a while and simply slow down and sit around and read a ...read more

  • In Search Of The North Pole

    Contributed by J Jeffrey Smead on Feb 13, 2015
    based on 65 ratings
     | 20,232 views

    In the Book "Winnie the Pooh and the North Pole"; Christopher Robin has organized a band of animals on a journey to the North Pole. It seems to me, that this expedition to the North Pole is symbolic of our culture's quest for the spiritual.

    For those not familiar with an Anglican Service, there are four Scriptures readings before the Message. Today's assigned Lessons are: 2 Kings 2:1-12 Psalm 50:1-6 ; 2 Corinthians 4:3-6 ; and Mark 9:2-9 .; Children's stories .... Can often bring insight... to greater Spiritual Truths. In the Book ...read more

    Wake Up to Jesus’ Glory 1) In his light on top of the Mt. of Transfiguration 2) In his flight down from the Mt. of Transfiguration

    Have you ever had someone wake you to catch a particularly beautiful sunrise? That happened to me while I was camping on Padre Island in Texas. I woke with a start when someone threw sand at the side of my tent, just about where my ear was pressed up against the canvass. When I stumbled out of my ...read more

  • Can I Pray For You? Series

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Jan 13, 2014
     | 5,272 views

    This is part two of my 2014 New Year's Message for Christ Church Billericay. I look at mission and pray and whilst doing say consider the harvest field, hostility, hospitality, healing and heaven's kingdom!

    Last week was part one of my New Year’s message and today is part two. Last week I summarised the final words of Jesus to the disciples as this: “Go, make disciples, baptise them; teach them to obey.” I also quoted David Watson from thirty years ago and related it to our locality ...read more
