Sermons on Mansion In Heaven:

Adoration Of God Alone

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jul 30, 2020

The words adore and adoration have been trivialized over the past few decades. Do we worship and adore the God of Heaven and earth alone or are others drawing our worship-attention away to places it does not belong?

Adoration of God Alone Today we will be reading from 1 Chronicles 29:10-13 Adoration. I don’t know if you realized this but every song we sang this morning contained the word “adore” or “adoration”. “Father, I adore You … Jesus, I adore You … Spirit, I adore You…” “Holy, holy, holy! All the ...read more

Courage

Contributed by Alan Perkins on Jan 26, 2026

Christian courage is essential to faith; in fact, the Bible says we cannot enter heaven without it. This sermon reviews why courage is so important, and how we can strengthen our courage to obey God.

This morning, I’d like us to think about Christian character. And specifically, a Christian virtue that we don’t usually hear much about from the pulpit. It’s mentioned only eight times in the New Testament, but it’s critically important, for at least two reasons. First of all, it’s important ...read more

Sermon – The Cost Of Having Your Way - Do You Really Want A King?

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Feb 4, 2025

But they wanted a king “the same as all the other nations” (1 Samuel 8:5). So they rejected their true King, the God of heaven and earth. God granted their request and gave them over to their desires, but not without a warning.

Sermon – Do You Really Want A King? Scripture Lesson - 1Samuel 8:1-21 “As Samuel grew old, he appointed his sons to be judges over Israel. Joel and Abijah, his oldest sons, held court in Beersheba.

Pray Boldly!

Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Jul 28, 2025

"Your will be done on earth as in heaven." We may not say the exact words but many of our prayers could be summarized with the words, “please let my will be done.” What's the answer to this paradox of prayer?

“Your will be done on earth as in heaven.” In the prayer we affectionately call the Lord’s Prayer we refer to that phrase as the Third Petition. Remember that a petition is specific request. There are seven petitions in the Lord’s Prayer as we pray it. After addressing God as our Father in ...read more

Elevate To The Next Level: "Living Victoriously”

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Sep 14, 2025

We’ll be looking at this subject of living victoriously from the standpoint of how a group of people lived their life victoriously in the midst of great trials and tribulation and now are in the presence of God in heaven because of how they lived their lives on earth.

Contributed by Jm Raja Lawrence on Nov 25, 2025

One blind beggar refused to stay silent. His desperate cry stopped Jesus on a crowded road. Your persistence matters. Your voice reaches heaven. Shout louder when the world tells you to be quiet.

7. THE CRY THAT STOPPED JESUS (BLIND BARTIMAEUS AND THE POWER OF DESPERATE FAITH) Introduction The dusty road from Jericho witnessed thousands of travellers. Beggars lined the streets daily.

Luke 19:10 is one of the most beautiful and powerful summaries of Jesus’ mission. It captures the heartbeat of the Gospel and the burning passion of Heaven itself: The Son of Man, Jesus Christ, came to seek and to save those who are lost.

Why Are We Praying For God’s Will If It Always Happens Anyway? Series

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Apr 29, 2025

Many presume that everything that happens is God's will. That's not true. What does it look like to pray that God's will would start to be done here on earth as it is done in heaven?

WHY PRAY THIS? This is a prayer because it isn’t happening much now. - Matthew 6:10. - So in this fourth part of the sermon, Jesus calls us to pray for God’s will to be done. - But, wait, isn’t that already happening all the time? We hear people constantly speak that whatever happened was God’s ...read more

Gratitude: A Christian's Journey SermonCentral

Contributed by SermonCentral on Sep 11, 2023

In the Bible, giving of thanks goes far beyond an annual American celebration on a day we remember to thank God for a multitude of blessings. It is a preoccupation of every Christian and extends even to those elders who are "before the throne" in heaven.

Today, I want to explore the significance of thanksgiving in our lives as Christians. While Thanksgiving is often associated with a single day of gratitude in America, the Bible teaches us that giving thanks goes far beyond an annual celebration. It is a continuous attitude and action that should ...read more

Lets Not Be Confused

An exposition of Matt. 24-25

Matthew 24-25 Next to Ezek. 38-39, these two chapters must be truly understood if we want all the questions concerning the rapture and the second advent to be cleared up. Most of the fallacies of men regarding these two subjects come from a wrong understanding of prophecy, and because we do not ...read more

On Your Marks, Get Set, Go! A Sermon On Philippians 3 Series

Contributed by Nickolas Kooi on Oct 4, 2017

In Philippians 3, Paul describes our Christian life twice by using a race analogy. It is an effective analogy. For like in a race, we have a reason to run (or cause). We keep our eyes on the prize, and we are encouraged along the way.

One night in college, I needed a study break, and I decided to read some online articles. As I was scrolling through, one caught my interest. It was titled: “Top Ten Greatest Canadians.” As I saw the title, I wondered how many people on that list would be hockey related, since it is Canada, ...read more

A Meditation On The Parable Of The Prodigal Son

Contributed by Dan Funk on Aug 23, 2014

I believe Jesus is drawing our attention to the father and his compassion and joy in order to give us a a deeper understanding of the nature of God and His Kingdom; of our calling to be instruments of His life-giving compassion, and to share in His joy.

We heard in today’s Gospel reading the Parable of the Prodigal Son, and I am sure most of us have read and heard it numerous times. And we all perhaps have lost count of the sermons we have heard on this parable. You may be wondering what on earth I can say on this that is new or unique. I ...read more

Using Your "Talents" Series

Contributed by Nickolas Kooi on Nov 22, 2017

Jesus again repeats Himself in Matthew 25, and He tells us another parable to get us ready for the end times. He tells a different story with the same point. Will we get it this time?

You know something is important when someone repeats it a second time. You can also know if something is important when they say the same thing again, but in a different way, so that if you didn’t get it the first time, you might get it the second time. It can be a technique that we can be quite ...read more

The Last Page Series

Contributed by Nickolas Kooi on Nov 22, 2017

Jesus teaches us about the final judgment. This sermon uses the analogy of reading the last page of a book to explain the parable. It helps the hearer to see how this supports the doctrine of faith alone, and it encourages them to serve.

The first thing that I always do when I read a new book is to read the last few pages. Its something that I always do, and I can’t help it or stop it. I love reading the last scene and then reading the book to figure out what that last image portrayed means, or the reason and significance behind ...read more
