Characteristics Of Christian Leadership

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Jun 17, 2009

God can use people with or without natural ability and proper background. God often chooses to work with raw material. He prepares and empowers those He chooses to do His work. He does not need to use people who took the part or who are already popular.

The Unveiling Of Jesus Christ

This book, more than any other, led me to the Lord almost 40 years ago, so it has a gigantic place in my heart and my story of faith. Here is a look at the first chapter, which begins a series that will take us through the entire Apocalypse.

The Unveiling of Jesus Christ Revelation 1 I began reading the book of Revelation almost 40 years ago, before I had even put my faith in Jesus Christ.

Farewell Thoughts

Contributed by Christopher Martin on Feb 2, 2010

My farewell sermon at Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church, Audubon, Iowa preached 1/10/2010.

I’ve found that of all the sermons that I have prepared to be preached from this pulpit, this one that I have to preach today has perhaps been the most difficult to write. For starters, it’s an emotional one because this is the last time I will preach to you from this pulpit as your Pastor. If ...read more

Do You Have A Green Thumb

Contributed by Millie Pisano on May 18, 2004

Why I Need A Purpose Series

Contributed by Robert Higgins on May 14, 2008

During the flight, they became acquainted and were discussing their respective occupations (something men tend to talk about).

How Do We Deal With Suffering And Loss?

Contributed by Billy Ricks on Oct 29, 2009

This sermon was written after my wife birthed our third child stillborn. It came from my heart and I hope that it will help you prepare to help others or even begin to heal you hurt.

Intro: In a world starved for life. Life without aging, life without pain, life without hurt, how do we as Christ followers respond to loss?

Biblical Authority

Contributed by Bob Joyce on Aug 23, 2007

This sermon is from a Southern Baptist point of view concerning biblical authority. Even among Southern Baptists there is not complete agreement on the authority of Scripture. My point of view comes from my belief in the inerrancy of Scripture.

Introduction With the exception of the Lord Jesus Himself, the Bible has been the single most important influence in my life. When Paul wrote of Timothy, "From childhood you have known the sacred writings which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith which is in ...read more
