    Parable of the Drag-Net Matthew 13:47-50 http://gbcdecatur.org/sermons/DragNet.html Of all of Jesus’ parables He has now given to His disciples, I’m sure this is the one they could relate to the best because it uses an illustration from the fishing world, and most of these guys had backgrounds ...read more

     | 3,806 views

    Why bother with spiritual disciplines? What’s the point? Paul says that he considers all the "things" he did worthless so doesn’t that get us off the hook?? Well...

    For those of you who were on the winter retreat, you will remember that on Saturday night Greg talked about what it means to have a real walk with God and how to continue to grow in our relationships with Him. He expressed that we all needed to be taking in “Daily Nutrition” if we really wanted to ...read more

    Give Me Just One More Last Chance ...

    Contributed by Austin Mansfield on Mar 10, 2007
    based on 8 ratings
     | 15,068 views

    God provides many chances to repent from our transgressions, but at some point, even though it will break his heart, God will allow us to drift away from him if we choose.

May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to you, Lord, my rock and my redeemer. Amen. (Psalm 19:14) Last week’s Old Testament reading discussed God’s ...read more

    The Truth About Trouble

    Contributed by Bruce Willis on Jan 4, 2007
    based on 17 ratings
     | 8,549 views

    This sermon from The Exchanged Life perspective attempts to assist the believer in coming to a point of trust in Christ as Savior, Lord and Life through suffering thus ultimately being set free from Self.

    All of us encounter trouble from time to time in our lives. Sometimes the trials and tribulations come as a test. Sometimes they come for the glory of God. And sometimes they come as a way of bringing us to the end of our Self, of depending on our abilities and of depending on our own resources ...read more

    Jesus Chilling Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Nov 10, 2002
    based on 34 ratings
     | 4,045 views

    Jesus understood when, how, and why to "chill": when His emotional energies had been drained; how to back off the need to be needed; and for the purpose of providing a still point of healing for others.

    If there is any one thing that distinguishes my generation and later generations, like the Gen-xers, it is that we have totally different attitudes about work and play. We are light years apart about what we expect from work or what we want from play. People born before and during the ...read more

    The Pursuit Of Excellence

    Contributed by Mike Spain on Apr 2, 2002
    based on 144 ratings
     | 15,105 views

    Here is a motivational message that will drive home the point that pursuing excellence is not always fun, and may not bring instant results. However, the end result (if found in Christ) is worth more than gold.

    The proof of your DESIRE is in your PURSUIT! Daniel 1:8-17 Daniel 3:13-18 Four theorems from the text 1. The pursuit of excellence will most always seem foreign to those on the OUTSIDE looking IN! (See Dan. 1:10 and 3:14) In 1:10 - The official didn’t understand why Daniel would not eat the ...read more

    I Pledge Allegiance To A Hiding God

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 7, 2002
    based on 41 ratings
     | 7,132 views

    The recent "under God" court decision is inconsequential. Far better to pledge allegiance to a God who does not need publicity and lip service, but who points us to acts of justice, liberation, and witness.

    In every age there are those who feel they need to help God out of hiding. God, it seems, is never without public relations agents, who want to help Him get His name out. They have their own reasons – some of them well-intentioned, and some of them selfish – but the truth is that God does ...read more

    How Do You Take God's Name In Vain?

    Contributed by Dr. Ronnie Grizzle on May 26, 2007
     | 11,003 views

    This message points out that it is not just with the mouth that God’s name can be taken in vain. The life that a Christian lives can also make one guilty of taking God’s name in vain.

    How Do You Take God’s Name in Vain? Exodus 20.7 (Exodus 20:7) Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. What is this verse telling us this morning? Not to curse using God’s name. Now I did not come to ...read more

    The sermon was originally preached by Rev. Steven Simala Grant of Laurier Heights Baptist Church (Edmonton, Alberta, Canada); I have added a point and tweaked others to make it work in my parish.

    “REMEMBER”: A SERMON FOR THE INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER FOR THE PERSECUTED CHURCH HEBREWS 13:3 Remember those in prison as if you were their fellow prisoners, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering. (Hebrews 13:3) Remember my chains. Grace be with you. ...read more

    God Searches Our Hearts And Minds

    Contributed by Bala Samson on Mar 19, 2013
     | 5,639 views

    There are men who think that God just watches only the daring and glaring sins but turns a blind eye to the others. Not so, let me very clearly point out that He watches all!

    Psalms 7:9’Oh, let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, But establish the just; For the righteous God tests the hearts and minds.’ Some of the super-duper looters (government ministers) have said: ‘watch, I will come out clean.’ Well, we see umpteen of such cases ...read more
