     | 7,098 views

    Our lives are cluttered with electronic gadgets, agendas, projects, seminars and entertainments that many have seldom quiet time with Him. No wonder we have lost the fizz in our life!

    Empty boats! Luke 5:2”Jesus saw two boats standing by the lake; but the fishermen had gone from them and were washing their nets.” When Jesus looked at the empty boats and the fishermen who had gone away to wash their nets, He knew it was a hopeless situation! Boys had closed shop ...read more

    Jesus And Zacchaeus Series

    Contributed by Dr. Jonathan Vorce on Feb 6, 2017
     | 12,795 views

    This sermon focuses on the interaction between Jesus, Zacchaeus, the Pharisee's and the community at large. Lost People matter to God. You can overcome a critical spirit and God cares about families.

    We come this morning to one example of what I consider to be the most difficult part of the Bible to understand. So I’m just going to name it for what it is, right up front. This scene of Deborah calling members of the Israelite tribes into battle is just one story among many of the seemingly ...read more

    When a man is lost in the desert, he may experience a mirage. That is, he may look out over the sands, and in the distance see what appears to be a lake, shimmering in the sun.

    His goal is to get to the lake and obtain water to satisfy his thirst. As he travels toward the “lake”, the lake seems to maintain it’s distance, or at some point just disappears. IT WAS A MIRAGE! Such an experience only brings disappointment and tragedy to the individual who believes the mirage is ...read more

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Jan 11, 2023
     | 1,306 views

    The Church at Ephesus started off right but somehow lost their first love. For this New Year, may we be reminded to remember, repent, and re-do what we did at the first.

    (Note: This message is based on and edited from a sermon preached at First Baptist Church, Chamois, MO, on 1-1-2023; but is not an exact transcription.) Introduction: This morning we celebrate the start of a brand new year. It’s really kind of difficult to zero in on something that hasn’t been ...read more

    Envision: The Great Commission

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 25, 2024
     | 1,040 views

    Jesus doesn’t send us into this world, lost world without any resources. He doesn’t expect us to accomplish this Great Commission in our own power.

    Opening illustration: When Jesus spoke these words directly to His disciples, and indirectly to us, He was giving the church her marching orders. He was telling exactly what He expected us to do in His physical absence. The disciples took the Lord’s command seriously. They went into the world and ...read more

    Esau's cry of desperation could not be ignored by his father Isaac. He lost his birthright, but in desperation got a remnant blessing that was enough for his yoke to be broken.

    TEXT: Genesis 27:34, 38 "And when Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with a great and exceeding bitter cry, and said unto his father, Bless me, even me also, O my father... And Esau said unto his father, Hast thou but one blessing, my father? bless me, even me also, O my father. ...read more

    Just as the dry bones were brought back to life, God can revive any part of your life that seems lost, broken, or hopeless. No situation is beyond His power.

     | 5,133 views

    Throughout the ages Jesus’ church has been flexible and adaptive in its tactics and methods but there are some crossovers which always seem to be present when the church is effectively winning the lost.

    Welcome and Call to Worship Good morning. We are so honored that you have chosen to worship with us today. We are in our fourth week of a sermon series from the book of Acts titled “Bridges and Ditches” and we are looking at ways to build bridges and jump ditches in order to bring the ...read more

    The church of Jesus Christ may be a part of making disciples of Christ if she has the same compassion for the lost that Christ had. She must be committed to Jesus’ call to go and make disciples.

    Contributed by Donnie Martin on Jan 19, 2009
    based on 20 ratings
     | 13,469 views

    This message stresses the need for a holy hunger for God. Far too many Christians and churches have lost much of their appetite to know God more deeply, and serve Him more faithfully.

    Holy Hunger Text: Ps.107: 9 Intro: Webster defines hunger as, “A strong desire; craving.” This strong desire and craving is usually thought of in the context of food. But actually, a person can experience a hunger for almost anything. The world in which we live is literally full of hungry ...read more
