"The Body Of Christ” Series

Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Jun 28, 2010

Paul tells us how we can function as the body of Christ and thus, present the likeness of Christ to a lost world.

Once again, the Apostle Paul discusses the unity of the local church. Here he uses the picture of a body to speak about how we are to function in unity.

The Most Important Thing In The World

Contributed by Shawn Rose on Feb 19, 2011

Don’t coast through life hoping that staying out of trouble and occasionally doing a good deed will be enough when it counts. Stop being a “casual Christian”, and start having a relationship with the God of the universe.

You Are Mine: Baptism Of Jesus

Contributed by Matt Hoffmann on Jan 6, 2010

This is a series of three mini-sermons to be preached with the lessons of the day for the Baptism of Jesus Sunday (Isaiah 43:1-7; Romans 6:1-11; Luke 3:15-22). It works well to have the reader read the lessons during the sermon.

I say a little different because as we look at Jesus Baptism, and by way of that, our own baptism and what it means to us, we’ll find that each of our Bible ...read more

Denied: The Twist

Contributed by Dr. Gale A. Ragan-Reid on Mar 22, 2015

Building The Unbreakable Home

Who..are You?

Contributed by Charlie Roberts on Jun 22, 2014

To many people don't realize who they are..the world has beat them down and they've forgotten. If you bare the name of Christ, then your a child of the King. It's high time we realize our true identity..it's time we truly enjoyed what God has prepared

Who are you? Have You Forgotten Who You Are? Some would say, of course I know who I am, I am so and so, from Such and such! And then again, there are some who think they know who they are! And they remind people, everywhere they go, and all those who they run into in life... Do you know who ...read more

Being God's Adopted Children.

Contributed by Andrew Moffatt on Mar 7, 2017

A short message at a Child development Centre and Remand Home, short because the message is to be translated to Sinhala (one of the local languages) and because in many cases those hearing the message have short attention spans.

Being God’s Adopted Children Morning my name is Andrew. You may have seen me around here looking at work that has been done when the men have been in painting or fixing the bathrooms.

What Would You Have Me To Do?

Contributed by Charlie Roberts on Apr 6, 2018

Pick your battles wisely...make the right choice. That was some good advice, because the only thing more scandalous than believing God can do everything, is fighting against God when He is doing what He said He would do!

What would you have me to do? Mark 4:35-41 MSG 35-38. Late that day he said to them, “Let’s go across to the other side.” They took him in the boat as he was. Other boats came along. A huge storm came up. Waves poured into the boat, threatening to sink it. And Jesus was in the stern, head on a ...read more

How Rooted Are You In God's Word? Series

Contributed by Alis Cerrahyan on Aug 13, 2019

Unfortunate circumstances cannot and should not define who we are. It's what we choose to do with them that determines the outcome. We either believe in God wholeheartedly or we don't. Even a tiny doubt can taint our faith in his supremacy.

It would be fair to say that the following statement is not even believable: "I've never encountered any hardships; nor have I known anyone with evil intentions!" If we are a part of this world, whether a child, an adolescent, or an adult; we have tasted dysfunctions somewhere along ...read more
