    Practising Belonging Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on May 27, 2017
     | 4,571 views

    What is expected of new believers? The answer to this question is revealed through examining the life of the first congregation after the body was flooded with a multitude of believers following Pentecost.

    “Those who received [Peter’s] word were baptized, and there were added [to the Faith] that day about three thousand souls. “And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. And awe came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs ...read more

    Jesus Announces His Mission, From Which We Can Announce Our Own.

    Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on Jan 25, 2016
     | 7,909 views

    This is a subtle sermon to motivate and thank the congregation, based on why Jesus chose his own readings in the temple; and how the church can gain from that announcement?

    This sermon was delivered to St Oswald’s in Maybole, Ayrshire, Scotland on the 24th January 2016; St Oswalds is a Scottish Episcopal Church in the Dioceses of Glasgow and Dumfries.

    To Protect And To Serve

     | 13,787 views

    We invited the local Chief of Police to speak to our congregation and to our youth. After his talk, this is the short message we gave to close the service.

    TO PROTECT AND TO SERVE That motto is used to describe the original description of our federal government’s purpose. It is primarily to protect "we the people" from those in our society that would hurt us so that Americans can live in the pursuit of happiness. That being said, it would be ...read more

    Spiritual Gangrene: Necrosis Of The Body Of Christ

    Contributed by Chuck Brooks on Sep 3, 2020
     | 2,501 views

    Paul warns Timothy to avoid godless chatter because it will spread like gangrene. Sin, like gangrene, has a way of spreading and causing division in the congregation.

    When it comes to the church, church growth is naturally related to church health. Healthy churches, like healthy people, must grow. In his book, The Purpose Driven Church, Pastor Rick Warren says that if our church is healthy, attendance will be the least of our problems. He writes that ...read more

    The Gifts Given

    Contributed by Matt Stacy on Sep 30, 2019
     | 3,434 views

    The congregation may understand that each of them, by virtue of being a believer, have a spiritual gift given to them and that they are expected to use them in a humble fashion. 

    Introduction: This scripture implores the reader to consider the fact that any grace that they have been given has been given to them by God. It tells us not to think too highly of ourselves. If you have an obvious gift from the Lord, it's not because you're extra spiritual. As a matter of ...read more

    I Have A Vision!

     | 2,132 views

    The assemblies of the Lord must recognise the marks of the false prophet and the false teacher. They must guard themselves against succumbing to the alluring message that leads to destruction of the congregation.

    The word of the LORD came to me: ‘Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel, who are prophesying, and say to those who prophesy from their own hearts: “Hear the word of the LORD!” Thus says the Lord GOD, Woe to the foolish prophets who follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing! ...read more

    This sermon is the first for 2023, encouraging the congregation to take the opportunity of a new year to determine by God's grace to press in like never before to Jesus.

    Sermon for January 1, 2023 Fresh Grace for a New Year, Boundaries Series: Creation Welcome to 2023. Who knew we’d make to 2023. Isn’t that the future?

    Encourage the congregation to answer God's call to serve and work in His field, emphasizing that God equips those He calls, and there are great rewards in serving Him.

    Good morning, church family! I'm so glad to see all of you here today, ready to dive into the Word of God together. Let's turn our hearts and minds to Matthew 9:35-38. Here, we see Jesus reflecting on the need for willing workers in his harvest field, the bountiful rewards that come with serving ...read more

    Message for a Pastor appreciation service. What the members of the congregation need to do in order to profit the benefits God has for them. Are you under the influence of the Holy Ghost.

    “Under the Influence” By Elder Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. Matthew 8:9 When I think of the phrase “Under the Influence” my mind goes to two (2) different aspects that we normally associate with that phrase. The first aspect we automatically think of is D.U.I., Which is driving under the ...read more

     | 10,507 views

    This is a "Great Commission" message that I have preached in the USA this year to congregations ranging from 700 to 2500 in Attendance. It has a bit of a post-modern twist to it.

    The Three “D’s” of Purpose Introduction: Of course some people here might we wondering, “WHY did pastor have a MISSIONARY come and speak here this MORNING/EVENING?” Illus: My Dad had a schoolmate from Bible College and he was known as the missionary who always preached the RIGHT length of ...read more

    How A Church Can Change For The Better

    based on 186 ratings
     | 40,793 views

    In this message, we explore five paradigm shifts that a church can make to have a better future. This is a kind of "halftime" talk from a pastor/coach to the congregation/team.

    To compete for a championship, during a game a great team has to make some adjustments. I sometimes think of the New Year as a kind of halftime. My personal internal calendar starts in August when the kids go back to school. The first semester is over. Now, it’s the halftime before the second ...read more

    based on 14 ratings
     | 3,546 views

    A sermon designed to lift the spirits of a church plant congregation after having been verbally attacked by their former church. Focuses on love and the new frontier of a job to be done!

    The Israelites were kept as slaves in Egypt for over 400 years. Their oppressors mistreated them and there is no doubt they suffered mentally and spiritually, as well as physically. Those generations of Israelites must have felt a hurt that would have be unimaginable to us today. The Bible ...read more
