"Obey The Command” Series

Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Mar 12, 2008

The example of Jonah shows us both the positive and negative results associated with or choosing to either obey of disobey the command of God to share the Good News.

Like Jonah of old, many Christians are fleeing from our personal responsibility to be involved in reaching our world for Christ. We would rather spend time talking about evangelism as an abstract concept, rather than as a real command of God that we are to obey. We are kind of like the drunk I ...read more

Fence Straddling

Contributed by Jimmy Chapman on Oct 20, 2007

Let us look closer at the statements of this compromiser and notice three mistakes he made.

FENCE STRADDLING Acts 5:34-40 The book of Acts is not a dull book to say the least. Something seems to be happening in every verse.

Give Back Christmas

Contributed by Doug Bolles on Oct 20, 2007

Our celebrations of Christmas should be an extension of our celebration of Christ every other day of the year. If we give special attention to his birth and use the focus of the world on this adopted holiday to show and share the love of Christ and the t

Give Back Christmas This message may strike some as controversial and others as stating the obvious. I have to confess that for me, Christmas, as we know it today, has largely become something to survive, not celebrate. And before you judge me too severely, I would suggest I may be in good ...read more

Should Christians Celebrate Halloween?

Contributed by Barry Edmondson on Oct 27, 2007

A message on why We as Christians should not celebrate Halloween

Halloween is an annual celebration, but just what is it actually a celebration of? And how did this peculiar custom originate? Is it, as some claim, a kind of demon worship? Or is it just a harmless vestige of some ancient pagan ritual? In North America, the yearly observance of Halloween amounts ...read more

The Pharisee & The Tax-Collector (Luke 18:9-14 )

Contributed by David Smith on Nov 12, 2007

A Pharisee and a tax-collector bump into eachother at the temple. This looks like a sitcom! ...

“Jesus told them another joke”, we are told, “and He told this one to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and looked down on others.’ Now, I suspect that your translation probably says ‘parable’ rather than ‘joke’, but I think ‘joke’ is actually a very good translation.

A Life Of Victory Series

Contributed by Jonathan Mcleod on Nov 20, 2007

It’s worth following Jesus—even if it brings mistreatment—because, in the end, there will be victory.

THE BIG IDEA: It’s worth following Jesus—even if it brings mistreatment—because, in the end, there will be VICTORY.

The Call Series

Contributed by Ron Murphy on Feb 1, 2007

John provides a description of an time proven evangelistic process. (I borrowed part of the introduction from a Sermon Central contributer. Thank you.)

It seems to be that this statement grew from a pattern of life. B. Even as John the Baptist had developed a following, the desire of his ...read more
