    Jesus' Coming Changes Everything!

    Contributed by Edward Frey on Nov 28, 2001
    based on 79 ratings
     | 6,208 views

    The peace of Christ will extend to all nations through the gospel.

    These days, we’re told, "the rules have changed." Politicians and news reporters are constantly telling us that, in the light of recent events, life, as we know will be altered forever. Heightened security, liberties changed to inconveniences, fear and suspicion – all these are the signs ...read more

    Apostolic Authority

     | 7,144 views

    This message will be unpopular because it challenges the foundation of those claiming to have this authority.

    Apostolic Authority I realize this is not a popular message, but I also believe it is necessary and relevant to a biblically sound church. This is a follow up to the message, ‘Is Speaking in Tongues Essential?’ In this message, we looked at scripture that testified that not all Christians under ...read more

    A sermon that in story form looks at the events and simple transforming message of Christmas.

    Christmas Day. Sermon/story. I "test drove" this story by putting it on sermon central - the response was luke warm - I have altered this as a sermon and am interested in readers ongoing response particuarily as I am considering sharing it this christmas.

    based on 34 ratings
     | 4,889 views

    The angelic visitations to Mary, Elizabeth, and Joseph make for an incredible account of God mastery of presentation. See how the wonder of Christmas comes alive in this part of Jesus’ birth.

    The Wonder of His Presentation (Part 2, The Wonder of Christmas) Text: John 1:1-14, Luke 1:26-38, Matt. 1:18-24, Luke 1:39-45 The birth of Jesus is an awesome encounter of God in the flesh. But before He was born, the signs given to His future parents and those who would be eye-witnesses of ...read more

    Turning The World Upside Down

     | 21,626 views

    Why was it said that the Acts church "turned the world upside down?" How can we have that said about us?

    Turning the World Upside Down Acts 17:1-10 It’s safe to assume that almost everybody here has heard or read about the great revivals of old. We constantly hear preachers talk about old time revivals. But notice what I said, we have heard about, we have read about, and we talk about. We have ...read more

    Are You Willing To Go Forth?

    based on 37 ratings
     | 16,602 views

    Do we spend too much time trying to resurrect what God has already taken from us? The children of Israel face the tough decision to go forth! What about you?

    ARE YOU WILLING TO GO FORTH? JOSHUA 1: 1-5. ONE OF THE MATCHLESS POINTS OF GENIUS AND BEAUTY OF THE BIBLE IS FOUND IN ITS CAPACITY TO BE PROFOUNDLY SIMPLE. THIS IS TO SAY, OFTEN THE BIBLE SPEAKS IN SIMPLE LANGUAGE AND IN A SIMPLE WAY TO MANY OF THE COMPLEX AND ...read more

    Obedience Is Our Obligation

    Contributed by Donnie Martin on Jan 8, 2003
    based on 97 ratings
     | 16,962 views

    Using an acrostic on the word "obey," this message deals with some things that are involved in obedience to the Lord.

    Obedience Is Our Obligation Text: Acts 5: 29 Intro: Obligations are something that most of us take very seriously. Most people feel that once they’ve committed themselves to something, such as a monthly payment or a promise of another kind, they should do everything in their power to fulfill ...read more

    The Call Of Samuel And The Fall Of Eli Series

    based on 134 ratings
     | 46,545 views

    The Priesthood has failed so God raises up a prophet to bring his word to his people. God uses the circumstances of Hannah to bring about his plan.

    I doubt that Samuel realised just what was in store for him as he began his service of God in the Temple with Eli. No doubt it began as a fairly simple routine of lessons and chores with plenty of time for games. As a young child he would have been looked after by the many people who worked and ...read more

    Trusting God through a crisis you can’t understand

    Help thou our unbelief! Revelation 3:7-13 Beloved the Lord Jesus Christ has a message for you that will transform your life so that even the old dog on the back porch won’t recognize you anymore.

    War! What Is It Good For?

     | 2,858 views

    War is going to happen whether we like it or not. Regardless of our position on war politically and theologically, we are all called to turn to God and to love our enemies.

    The major thing in the news over the last few weeks has been all this business over Saddam Hussein and the allegations that he is stockpiling weapons of mass destruction. Every day another part of the drama is played out—George Bush or Colin Powell or Hans Blix or any one of a number of world ...read more

    Blessed Ignorance, Jesus Is Mine Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 9, 2003
    based on 14 ratings
     | 5,450 views

    We claim to know too much, as we want to make ourselves elite, we want to close off new ideas. Know nothing but the servant heart (a sermon for deacon ordination).

    The psalmist says, “He has put a new song in my mouth.” And so I took that very literally and composed a new song for church today. Do you want to hear me sing it? It’s called, “Blessed ignorance, Jesus is mine” You say you don’t think you know that one? You say you think I got that wrong? ...read more

    This sermon deals with people who look for the right answers in the wrong places. Jesus is the only source for true fullfillment

    Consider the Source 5/13/03 1 Kings 17:1-16 (Read 17:1-7) Have you ever heard something and you had some doubt about it and you said, “Consider the source”? In other words, the source was not a reliable one. Today we read about the prophet Elijah and God’s judgment on Ahab and the children of ...read more
