    Contributed by David Owens on Mar 24, 2025
     | 842 views

    Mission minded disciples of Jesus are committed to being salt and light by showering people with God's love through acts of compassion and kindness. We become more compassionate as we remember the compassion we have received from God.

    Making The Most Of Our Time: A Call To Action SermonCentral

    In today's world, the church appears to be busy, but is it truly fulfilling God's mission? Are we, as a church, actively 'occupying' or merely resting on past achievements while waiting for the Lord's return? This sermon explores these questions and calls for a more proactive approach to our faith.

    When we look at the modern church, we see that it is busy as a whole. But are we truly accomplishing what God has given us? Is the church actively occupying, or are we simply resting on past achievements and waiting for the Lord's return? In Luke 19:13, Jesus called his ten servants, gave them ten ...read more

     | 6,538 views

    Fulfill your calling to go as God’s representative, because God calls you to go; to be God’s special, secure servant, because God calls you to be; and to come together as God’s people, because God calls you to share together in the fellowship provided by His Son, Jesus Christ.

     | 1,014 views

    God has created everyone for a purpose, and discovering it is the key to living a fulfilled life. Many remain unfulfilled because they fail to seek and pursue God’s plan. True purpose is found in Christ, and those who submit to His will shall walk in divine destiny.

    DISCOVERING YOUR PURPOSE By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Jeremiah 1:4-10 Supporting Texts: Proverbs 19:21, Romans 8:28, Ephesians 2:10, Isaiah 46:10 INTRODUCTION: Many people go through life without a clear understanding of why they were created.

    based on 1 rating
     | 205 views

    For the early church, the resurrection was not just a doctrine—it was the very evidence that Jesus Christ was who He said He was: the Son of God, the Saviour of the world.

    Go! And Proclaim the Risen Saviour 1 Corinthians 15:3–8 (NLT) 1 Corinthians 15:3–8 (NLT): “I passed on to you what was most important and what had also been passed on to me.

    A Fresh Start

    based on 144 ratings
     | 15,012 views

    Preached at a rescue mission; everyone needs a fresh start when we mess up on life-building. It’s not enough to feel guilty, not enough to blame others, not even enough to get new skills. We need the help of the Master Carpenter.

    I don’t know anybody who doesn’t need, from time to time, a fresh start. No matter who you are, no matter where you have been, no matter what you are trying to do, you just need, sometimes a fresh start, a new beginning. Trying to fix things the way they are won’t work; you need sometimes to ...read more

    Nicodemus came to Jesus at night. Did he come on his own behalf or was he on a mission for others. He stated what he knew about the Lord. Like the world he knew about Him, but he didn’t KNOW Him.

    Nicodemus John 3:1-3 Intro: Nicodemus came to Jesus at night. I have been thinking about Nicodemus and his conversation with Jesus. 1. The man who came.

    Love Looks Like Something

     | 5,970 views

    Epiphany 4: What we say we believe and what we do can sometimes be at odds with each other. If we are to live out the mission that God has given the Church, love looks like his people sharing Jesus with others.

    What believer has not been touched by the beautiful ’love chapter’? These words to the Corinthians are almost poetic in nature, and yet so authentic that they touch the soul. In these words, God gives us a beautiful description of what ‘love’ looks like: "If I speak in the tongues of men and of ...read more

    Jesus’ encounter with Zacchaeus teaches us about His ministry. Insignificant to us may be significant to Him; He always has time to minister; He doesn’t really care what self-righteous think; His mind was on His mission.

    LUKE 19:1-10 Imagine the story with me. Jesus is making his way to Jerusalem.

    From this text, let’s get some ideas about setting sail in life in order to accomplish God’s will. 1- We must set sail for our mission 2- We must set sail in regard to the Lord’s will

    the word ‘sent’ in Greek is the same root word as apostle. So apostle means ‘one who is sent out in the name of Jesus.’ That means every disciple makes a life commitment to Jesus’ mission. Every Christian has within himself or herself the potential for a
