Losing Sight Of The Cross

Contributed by Doug Stringer on May 15, 2005

This message uses a large wooden cross as a prop. As I discuss each item, I place it on the cross. By the time I am done the sermon, the cross is completely hidden from all the garbage hanging from it.

Soil Spirituality

Contributed by David Flowers on Sep 13, 2006

On this Friend Day at Wildwind, Dave makes the case that a local church is kind of like soil. As the health of a plant is determined in large part by the soil in which it is planted, so the health of a Christ-follower (or God-seeker) is determined by the

Evangelizing Skeptics

Differences Between Religion & Salvation

Contributed by Rodelio Mallari on Dec 31, 2010

There is no salvation in prophets, apostles, priests, pastors, ministers, or any religious leaders but only in Jesus Christ. You may boast of your fine church buildings, large membership; be active in religious and charitable work, but all these are power

Intro: At certain seasons of the year, we find many religious celebrations being conducted. We find that the natural man wants to be religious.

The Man Who Dropped Dead In Church

Contributed by John Gaston on Aug 13, 2012

God would rather have a small church that is pure than a large church whose commitment is watered down. With electricity, the larger the connection(wire), the more power can flow through it. This is true of the purity of the church.

Sermon On Golf - A Source Of Life?

Contributed by William Meakin on Jun 23, 2025

Golf is defined as a game played on a large open-air course, in which a small hard ball with dimples is struck with a club into a series of small holes in the ground, the object being to use the fewest possible strokes to complete the course.

The man who can go into a patch of rough alone, with the knowledge that only God is watching him, and play his ball where it lies, is the man who will serve you faithfully and well.” Proverbs 27:17 reminds us: “Iron ...read more
