    The Dead Church

    Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Jan 21, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 4,392 views

    Many churches all over the world are dead churches. Why? Because they have forsaken the Gospel of Jesus Christ. They are still living on past victories and faded glory from long past. They are not living the daily life with Christ the Lord and as such, have now grown cold to the Gospel.

    Please turn in your Bibles to Revelation Chapter 3, as today we are going to look at verses 1-6, Jesus’ warning to the church at Sardis. John MacArthur, in his exposition of these verses, used an illustration that has stuck with me. I would like to begin with it. He talked about the phenomenon ...read more

    This is a reworked message of the first in Hal Seed’s FIREPROOF sermon series through Outreach. The first 2 principles are a gentle rework while the 3rd is a total rework. May be helpful for those who need a shorter, or little different approach than th

    Decision Time

    Contributed by Michael Adams on Nov 22, 2018
     | 5,689 views

    This is a revival message, getting the Church right with God. We are in the last days and it is time the Church starts being the Church. Too many churches are going through the motions. They have zero outreach in their own communities. Oh they give to foreign missions but do nothing at home.

    Joshua 24: Decision Time This is a message that everyone here tonight will make a decision. Though it may never be made public God will know your decision. He will know if you as an individual will serve him and if this church, as a whole, will serve him. The word serve is used 413 times ...read more

    Walking Into Hell With Clean Feet

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 21, 2022
     | 1,919 views

    The last evening Jesus spent with His disciples (John 13-17) had Him showing the act of service towards others by washing their feet. Judas Iscariot's feet were cleaned as well, but his heart remained dirty and unresponsive to this final outreach of compassion as he planned Jesus' betrayal.

    This year (2022) marks the fiftieth anniversary of the premiere of the film "A Thief in the Night", one of the first Christian films to present the subject of the last days and how it would impact life as we know it. The quality of the film is primitive by today's standards, but ...read more

    Everyone A Leader?

    Contributed by Victor Nazareth on Sep 24, 2002
    based on 40 ratings
     | 3,825 views

    Can everyone become a leader in the local church? The writer of Hebrews is bemoaning that after so much time the saints were still immature. Is that the case of the church today? Everyone is expected to be and can be a leader!

    Introduction: The fervor of the early church was already dwindling by the time of the writing of this later book of the New Testament. Persecution was causing many to fall away. The writer is bemoaning the fact that by this time many of them should have been teachers. They were still spiritual ...read more

    God used Peter to write these words to a church under pressure, persecuted by the local community. Whatever our circumstances, Jesus has issued us with a missionary mandate to love one another deeply ...

    This piece of scripture was written by the apostle Peter to a church which was under pressure. Opposition from the local community was high. Violence and persecution towards the church was quite normal. It is a long way from my experience, but the call of God for the church to be Good News is as ...read more

    This message deals with the thought that Communio is all about God and not about us. Additionally, the Corinthians church was acting in such a way that communion was divisive and thus did more harm than good for the local church.

    SEATED AT CHRIST’S TABLE 1 CORINTHIANS 11:17-34 INTRODUCTION: Last week we looked at the beginning of this chapter as an introduction to this section of 1 Corinthians, from chapter 11 through chapter 14. The major thought is that of public worship, and our propriety or activity in that worship. ...read more

     | 10,397 views

    This sermon is the fifth in a series of five on “The Church Health Review” which purposes to encourage persons to examine their own life as well as challenging the church as a local body to go through a visioning process.

    Joseph was a dreamer of dreams. Verse 5 says, “Joseph dreamed a dream;” but he didn’t dream just one time. But verse 9 says, “ and he dreamed yet another dream.” Joseph had a dream and he lived out of that dream. We have all had our dreams. We have had dreams in childhood. We’ve had dreams in ...read more

    Last in a series on encouraging the local church to remember Christ’s call to spread the gospel. This sermon asks what a church looks like that is willing to be Christ’s beacon in our dark world.

    MARKS OF A CONTAGIOUS CHURCH There is a story told about a hunter walking through the African jungle who found a huge dead elephant with pygmy standing beside it.

    The pastors in our community take turns preaching at the local hospital. This is the message I preached there recently. It examines the brokenness of our lives and points us to the One from whom our help comes.

    When I Called Upon the Lord - Psalm 30 - May 17, 2011 (A Sermon Preached at the Dauphin Hospital) I’ve got a watch here with me this afternoon. [Hold up watch]. I got it a couple of years ago. It’s got a lot of fancy bells and whistles on it. It’ll tell you the normal ...read more

     | 6,427 views

    If take warning signs posted by local authorities about thin ice, it’s even more important for us to take God seriously when he warns about the coming judgment.

    Every year people require rescuing after falling through thin ice. Some don’t make it. They drown before help can arrive. That’s why provinces spend tens of thousands of dollars warning people to stay off thin ice. People could avoid a lot of trouble for themselves and others if they just took ...read more

    We must address the needs of those at our doorstep and in our local community, but we can’t be nearsighted. We can’t ignore the desperate needs of the poor worldwide.

    “For I was hungry and you fed me…” In 2000 it was estimated that 925 million people worldwide suffered from hunger, which was caused in part by a spike in global food prices…and you only have to go to Superstore or Sobeys to see how high food prices are these days! Hunger ...read more
