     | 11,400 views

    The classic painting and the familiar verse can teach us much about an intimate relationship with Christ. Our verse offers Christ’s solution to a church that has everything except what matters.

    Dr. Roger W. Thomas, Preaching Minister First Christian Church, Vandalia, MO Christ at Heart’s Door Revelation 3:20 (Projection of the classic painting illustrates the message.) Here I am!

    based on 17 ratings
     | 6,650 views

    After entering into relationship with God in prayer we must honor God for who he is and what he has done. We honor God through praise of his name, and our actions.

    This week I pulled some actual prayers of kids off the internet: Debbie, age 7, prays Dear God: Please send a new baby for Mommy. The new baby you sent last week cries too much. Dear God: Who did you make smarter? Boys or girls? My sister and I want to know. Jimmy, 6 Dear God: How many angels ...read more

    A Disturbing Gospel Series

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Sep 15, 2007
    based on 20 ratings
     | 8,299 views

    This sermon encourages believers to embrace the confronting nature of the gospel message. Jesus said that the gospel I bring is a gospel of conflict and separation. It will disturb family lines and family ties. It will separate the closest relationships.

    Introduction: As Paul and his company respond to the Macedonian call, directed by the Holy Ghost, they entered into the district of Macedonia.

    Having A Pit Bull Mentality

    Contributed by Ronnie Mcneill on Sep 25, 2007
    based on 11 ratings
     | 14,951 views

    This sermon shows how we should have the determination of a Pit Bull to do God’s will and constantly seeking and encouraging those to find Christ who do not have a relationship with Jesus the Christ.

    Introduction: When I think of pit bulls my mind automatically goes to that dog that has a mind set of not letting go. Once it gets a hold of you it will not let go. It is determined no matter what to hold on to its victim until its victim is dead. A pit bull’s jaws are designed to lock together ...read more

    Turn The Power On

    based on 16 ratings
     | 6,237 views

    We can’t find meaning & proclaim truth if we are not plugged into the Holy Spirit, yet so many Christians try to live without any relationship or even contact with the Spirit of God.

    Mark 1:4-11 & or John 1:29-36 Some things are just obvious aren’t they? Yet sometimes we act in a way that seems to deny common sense. For instance we drive sometimes without thinking properly about where we are going, almost on automatic pilot; do you know what I mean? Sometimes I’ve got in the ...read more

    Though increasingly neglected in this day, marriage is given by God for the benefit of mankind. Undoubtedly we find pleasure in marriage, but there is so much more for all who will honour God through the marriage relationship.

     | 23,321 views

    The praise and worship part of our Christian life is of the utmost importance because it helps us develop a deeper relationship with God, and in the words we find the hope, joy, and comfort that we all seek.

    Today I want us to analyze a very important aspect of our Christian life that is oftentimes overlooked, or not given too much attention to. I say that it is something that is oftentimes overlooked or not paid attention to because the majority of all believers only take care of this aspect of their ...read more

    based on 5 ratings
     | 17,075 views

    The real tragedy of talking trash is that it hurts people and damages our relationship with God. How we treat (speak of) others not only affects them, but it affects our own closeness with God.

    The Tragedy of Trash Talk James 4:11-12 11 Brothers, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against his brother or judges him speaks against the law and judges it. When you judge the law, you are not keeping it, but sitting in judgment on it. 12 There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the ...read more

    The mustard plant grows from insignificance to the largest of garden plants quickly. What are we doing to grow in our right relationship with God and others. The Kingdom of heaven is like a mustard plant growing.

    Mark: 4:30-32 The parable of the mustard seed. Read Mark 4:30-32 The kingdom of God, is like!

    Laborers In The Vineyard

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Nov 18, 2014
     | 6,835 views

    The parable of the vineyard in Matthew 20 is almost mind boggling in scope and what can be extracted from it. In this sermon we are taking a look at the relationship between the owner and the workers and becoming an employee and the "doing".

    Now we need to remember that we can never take a scripture out of context. Just before this the Rich Young Ruler asks Jesus in Matthew 19:16b (NASB) “Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may obtain eternal life?” “Do” This was an underlying foundation in the mind of ...read more

    True Biblical knowledge married to a living spiritual relationship with Jesus leads to new creation behavior. Anger is an emotion given by God to respond to injustice and unrighteousness. Learn in this sermon to use anger biblically.

    Intro: If you remember last week one of the most important things we can do is saturate our minds with God’s word. We do this so that the Holy Spirit can plant it deeply within our minds and give us something of the Spirit to think about. We don’t learn more of the Bible which ...read more

     | 9,865 views

    The Apostle Paul cherished the fact that his spiritual liberty in Christ. For Christian unity it is necessary that Christian believers be united through their relationship to Christ. The Christian life is not about working as hard as we can.

    THE FREEDOM WE HAVE IN CHRIST JESUS Galatians 2 Freedom is a word that Americans cherish. Slogans like this abound: “This will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave ." The Apostle Paul cherished the fact that his spiritual liberty in Christ was worth far more ...read more
