Using What You Have SermonCentral

Contributed by SermonCentral on Sep 10, 2023

God can use whatever we offer Him, no matter how insignificant it may seem. In Luke 5:1-11, Jesus uses Peter's old fishing boat and broken net, demonstrating that what matters is not the quality of what we offer, but the willingness to make it available to Him.

God has a ministry for every one of His children, not just the Pastor. Every Christian has a ministry, including you! While not everyone will be a great soul-winner, we all have a part in leading others to Christ. We are all links in the chain, though not all are the last link. Some may have the ...read more

Wake-Up Call

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Aug 1, 2013

Every believer has three enemies - the world system, the flesh, and the Devil. If we don't wake-up, heed and act on Biblical warnings, we will not only be spent but also taken down. God's truth is the best protection against Satan's lies.

The Purpose Of The Law

Contributed by Lee Houston on Oct 11, 2024

How important is the Law: Jesus said, Matthew 5:18, “For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.”

The Forgotten Family Tree Series

Contributed by Brian Bill on Dec 14, 2004

This morning we’re going to look at a list in Matthew 1 that contains over 40 names, some who were “darlings” and many others who were “disasters.”

It breeds familiarity and that leads to a breakdown in authority. I ...read more

Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Nov 2, 2023

Jude now shares five analogies of what these false workers are like who sneak into the church. Hidden reefs, waterless clouds, twice-dead trees, raging waves, and wandering stars.

They are fruitless autumn trees, uprooted and twice dead. They are waves of the wild sea, casting ...read more
