Restoring Prayer To Its Proper Place

Contributed by Davon Huss on Apr 30, 2012

A sermon on prayer from the book of Acts (Much material taken from Jerry Paul's sermon called "Restore New Testament Prayer" http://www.thecra.org/avitems.htm under 2006 Symposium)

HoHum: Daniel Henderson- In our culture of rugged individualism we have come to the conclusion that it is better to pray alone than with others.  Unfortunately, most of us never learn to do either one very well.  Like most disciplines of the Christian faith, we learn best to pray alone when we have ...read more

Learning To Love God Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jun 25, 2012

What is the most important thing in the universe? The answer might surprise you but goes right to the heart of both the Old and New Testaments. Jesus reveals it to us in Mark 12 as we go in depth into loving God.

During the course of a heated debate between Jesus and the religious leaders, something happens that is like an oasis in the midst of the desert. A scribe approaches the group as the Sadducees are trying to trip Jesus up with some theological argument coming out of their misinterpretation of the ...read more

Offering - What Offering?

Contributed by Aham Igbokwe on May 31, 2015

Dynamics and Dimensions of Offering in New Testament context. For majority of Christians, the word 'offering' quickly invokes thoughts of money... but offering in true scriptural perspective is hardly ever about funds colection on a Sinday church service.

Majority of Christians have been wrongly churched to be just about as materialistic as the unbelievers however this sermon isn't about money but rather targeted at attacking money-centric error with the subject matter of 'offering' and to dismantle those, in Jesus’ name. To diismantle is to ...read more

Five Insights The ‘bride Of Christ’ Analogy Gives

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jun 7, 2019

The "bride of Christ" analogy is one that can be difficult. Looking at several of the New Testament passages referencing that, this sermon unpacks five ideas about the church being the "bride of Christ."

- Beautiful but opaque analogy of the church as the bride of Christ. What does that mean? - That nature and frequency of analogies in the Bible. - The Bible often uses similar analogies as word pictures of who we are. A few examples: a. The branch. - In John 15 Jesus refers to Himself as the ...read more

There's Nothing Like A Mother's Love

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Mar 3, 2021

In the New Testament we have a wonderful picture that Jesus would tend to people much like a mother hen would tend to her young (Luke 13:34). Comfort involves compassion, encouragement and sympathy.

THERE'S NOTHING LIKE A MOTHER'S LOVE Text: Isaiah 66:13 Isaiah 66:13  As a mother comforts her child, so I will comfort you; you shall be comforted in Jerusalem. A young, awkward boy grew up in southern California, plagued by a learning disability that in later ...read more

But

Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on May 28, 2018

We use the word 'But' quite frequently and it can change the meaning of something said. In the Bible the word BUT and the context is profound, we are not object of God's wrath as sometimes seen in the Old Testament but objects of His love.

BUT… John 3:16-17 In my working life I’ve been on many training courses either related to management, finance, dealing with the media and so on.. One course still comes to mind when I was criticised for using the word’ ‘BUT’ I was using this simple and very significant little word to clarify ...read more

Is Baptism By Immersion Required For Salvation?

Contributed by Dennis King on Jul 29, 2018

Though the New Testament contains no explicit instructions on how to administer Baptism, the Greek word baptizo means "to immerse. Herein is a brief history of baptism before and after "sprinkling" became acceptable by many Churches.

Baptism is the public acceptance of Jesus and adoption into His fold, both by action of the Holy Spirit and by man's symbolic use of water. All too often Baptism is a stated requirement to join into a particular church denomination as opposed a public showing of a bond between a new believer and ...read more

The New Wine Of The Holy Spirit

Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Jun 19, 2018

The Jewish people knew God the Father from the Old Testament. Through their journey of faith they knew that God the Father was a Spirit and that God the Father was the One who provided them with a deliverer who would also be a Messiah.

The New Wine of the Holy Spirit Acts 2:1-21 Today is Pentecost Sunday and that means that it is Holy Spirit day. Today is really the third most important day on our Christian calendars.

Aristobulus And Narcissus Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Jan 10, 2022

We do not know anything about these two persons, men of position evidently, who had large households. But learned commentators of the New Testament have advanced a very sensible conjecture concerning each of them.

tom lowe 1/10/2022 Aristobulus and Narcissus Early Church Workers • Aristobulus was the grandson of Herod the Great and lived in Rome as a private citizen. • Since Paul does not greet him, but only those in his household, it is plausible to think he had either passed away or was not a ...read more

The Resurrection Of Jesus Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Apr 11, 2022

He is risen! He is alive! Jesus raised never to die again. Others in the New Testament were raised, but died again, like Lazarus. Jesus was raised from the dead and he shall live forever.

The resurrection is the very central point and essence of Christianity. It is “of first importance” of the Christian faith. That essence and the importance is captured beautifully in For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the ...read more

God's Blessings Unveiled SermonCentral

Contributed by SermonCentral on Sep 9, 2023

This blessing, known as the 'Our Father' of the Old Testament, given through Aaron, consists of three phrases (of two, five, and seven words) each starting with the name of Jehovah. It's a mystery to the Jews, but for us Christians...

The book of Numbers, part of the Old Testament and the Hebrew Tanakh, is traditionally attributed to Moses and was likely written around 1300 BC. It is a historical account that meticulously records numbers and also contains inspiring passages such as the mission of the twelve spies, water from the ...read more

A Call To Build God's Temple: Prioritizing The Local Church

Contributed by Barnabas Park on Nov 21, 2025

Just as God commanded the Jews who returned from exile to “build a temple,” New Testament Christians are called to build the local church to which each belongs—a spiritual temple founded on Jesus Christ.
