    Sermon # 27 - The Supreme Sacrifice Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Mar 16, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,369 views

    When Abraham willingly offered his son Isaac on the altar, he had no clue that this was a fore-shadow of the supreme sacrifice that God would make many years later. This sermon explains what that supreme sacrifice was, and how this could alter our lives for eternity.

    We continue to ponder on Psalms 77:11-12, “I will remember your great deeds, LORD; I will recall the wonders you did in the past. I will think about all that you have done; I will meditate on all your mighty acts.” (GNB) The Psalmist made it his ambition to remember and recall, all of the great ...read more

    Another sermon inspired from Chuck Swindolls Living on the ragged edge

    You’ve no doubt seen the t-shirts or the billboards, or watched the commercials, where the theme was nothing more than…”if it feels good …do it!” It even makes its way into boutique shops, handcrafted on little plaques, and the bookstores line their shelves with self help books like “looking out ...read more

    Through Isaac

    Contributed by D Marion Clark on Jun 6, 2016
     | 6,809 views

    By faith we are to believe the promise of God, believe in the promised Redeemer. Through Isaac God was keeping his promise. Through the promised Redeemer, he has kept his promise to provide our redemption.

    Genesis 21:1-12 Through Isaac 6/5/16 D. Marion Clark Introduction It had been a long time coming, so long that it had become a laughing matter to both Abraham and Sarah. Twenty-five years is a long time for a promise to be fulfilled, especially when no indication had been given that it would be ...read more

    Sermon # 3 - God's Call And His Purposes Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jul 10, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,245 views

    Like Abraham we too must obey the call of God and respond in faith and total obedience. Only when we do so will God do mighty wonders and help us to walk victoriously in this journey of faith.

    We read in Isaiah 43:1, “Israel, the LORD who created you says, "Do not be afraid---I will save you. I have called you by name---you are mine.” (GNB) God’s word in the above mentioned verse is directed towards Jacob or Israel because the promise of God is directed towards His children, who ...read more

    The Individual Most Essential For Church Growth

    Contributed by Brian Atwood on Dec 2, 2005

     | 4,817 views

    The characteristics of the Holy Spirit that make Him uniquely essential to help grow the church.

    [Note: this sermon is largely based on Calvin Miller’s work: "A View From the Fields".] Any attempt to grow the church apart from the Holy Spirit will be disastrous! We can have the most clever programs conceivable, plan the most motivating promotions available, sing the sweetest songs and preach ...read more

    Notice in verse 8…That night, in a field near Bethlehem,… Many scholars believe that these could be the same fields where sacrificial flocks were kept for temple worship.

    There’s an all purpose cleaner that is used to clean almost anything. This cleanser has replaced sprays that have only one purpose. God created us for many purposes, and our brain proves that fact as the human brain has different components such a passage

    We sometimes picture the Holy Spirit as fire, chaos & activity, but the Spirit is about withdrawing & silence too.

    Ezekiel 37: 1 – 14 Acts 2:1-13 Two very famous readings today. The Old Testament lesson from Ezekiel 37 tells of the powerful wonderful vision of the Holy Spirit bringing life to that which was dead, & of course how could we not have Acts 2, Luke’s account of the Spirit falling that first ...read more

    It wasn’t the faith of this little girl that moved Jesus to come. It was the faith of a father in desperation, crying out to Jesus. Nothing is more powerful than the desperation of a father for his child. THERE IS ALWAYS A DESPERATE ASPECT TO FAITH.

    Part 7 - Matthew 9:18-26 - THE DESPERATE CRY OF MY FAITH! I’ve conducted funerals. I know the kind of grief that hangs in the air with anticipation like storm clouds ready to flood the earth with rain. I know the kind of grief which needs to be expressed in tears and in saying goodbye. Yes, I know ...read more
