Sermons on Not Baptized Himself:

Elijah At Cherith Series

Contributed by Toby Powers on May 6, 2023

This experience of Elijah's life is probably the most ignored or overlooked mountain of his experience with God, but it is an essential one. It is a lesson in how God separates a believer unto himself.

ELIJAH AT CHERITH I Kings 17:1-7 Intro: Elijah is one of the greatest characters to study in the Word of the Lord. He is the man who embodies the office of the Old Testament prophet more than any other. He is the foreshadowing of John the Baptist. He was not an Israelite Aristocrat, but he was a ...read more

The Heavens And Earth Series

Contributed by Kelvin Mckisic on Jun 25, 2023

The Bible says that God reveals Himself in His creation, and that is so true when we really look carefully at Bible Science. Here we take a look at the heavens and earth

Bible Science Before I was a Christian, I banked my life on science, and would scoff at anyone foolish enough to believe in that book written by man. I thought I had all the answers I needed in my technical books, and the Bible was not one of them. But like many people who scoff at the Bible, have ...read more

What Are The Odds? Youth Sermon

Contributed by Youth Sermons on Oct 2, 2023

Jesus' life, death, and resurrection were prophesied hundreds of years before they happened, and He willingly sacrificed Himself to pay the price for our sins because of His love for us.

Here's the deal with Easter: God did something only He could do to pull off something only He could pull off. We all mess up, right? Who here has ever snuck a cookie before dinner or maybe 'forgot' to do their chores? Yeah, I thought so. Well, the Bible says that every time we do something wrong, ...read more

He Was Silent Premium Sermon

Contributed by PRO Premium on Oct 8, 2023

The sermon explores the superhuman acts of Jesus during the final 36 hours leading up to Easter, focusing on the fulfillment of major prophecies, starting with His silence and refusal to defend Himself.

We have three weekends between now and Easter, which is the most important day on the Christian calendar. So we are preparing ourselves by looking at the things Jesus did that weekend that were superhuman. They were against all odds. During week one, I walked us through the 24 prophecies Jesus ...read more

Transfiguration... The First Super Sunday

Contributed by John Nadasi on Feb 3, 2005

The Transfiguration is both about how God revealed himself through Jesus Christ as well as a story about Peter almost missing it because he would not stop blathering. This is is a call for self examination and repentance. Today is Superbowl Sunday.

Matthew 17:1-9 Paonia United Methodist Church February 6, 2005 Transfiguration, The First Super Sunday What a morning! Baptisms, new church members, and communion coming up. Now, for those of you already looking at your watches Wondering if you are going to be out of here on time, Let ...read more

My Message Is All About God Series

Contributed by David Owens on Jan 10, 2022

If we are not careful, we can get in the way of sharing the good news about Jesus and begin to make the message about us. But our message and our ministry must be all about Him and not about us. We must lift Him up, and He will draw people to Himself.

A. I read about a minister who gave an unusual sermon one Sunday. 1. He used a peanut to make several important points about the wisdom of God in nature. 2. One of the church members greeted him on the way out and said, “Very interesting sermon, Preacher, I never expected to learn so much from a ...read more

God Is Building A Church

Contributed by Richard Goble on Jan 7, 2008

What is the Church? Many see it as a social club. Others only know it as a place to practice their religion. But the Church is much more than that. It is a living organism. It is Jesus Christ Himself, who loves it, builds it, and died for it.

On The Catwalk Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on May 13, 2012

The catwalk is a tool that fashion houses use to display their best products. And II Corinthians tells us that God has His own kind of "catwalk" that he leads us down in "triumphal procession." Why is God "showing us off" like this? And what is He selling

OPEN: (We opened the sermon with about 30 seconds of a video showing a group of modestly dressed models walking down a catwalk at a fashion show: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHPq4nMA2ZI) (Then we switched to a youtube video of a veteran fashion model describing the purpose of the catwalk in ...read more

Praying Like Jesus

Contributed by John Lowe on Aug 20, 2014

"Our Father" I find it interesting here that Jesus would teach us this phrase because Jesus Himself never uses that phrase."In heaven" Jesus reminds us here that we are not approaching an earthly father that is limited in his capabilities or his presence.

Assault Against The Faithful Series

Contributed by Michael Stark on Apr 15, 2021

Paul's assessment of himself was that he was unworthy of God's grace. However, Christ is merciful; He will receive anyone who comes to Him in faith, even those who are full of themselves.

“Look out for the dogs, look out for the evildoers, look out for those who mutilate the flesh. For we are the circumcision, who worship by the Spirit of God and glory in Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh—though I myself have reason for confidence in the flesh also.

The Covenant Of Grace (Part 1) Series

Contributed by Eddie Snipes on Mar 10, 2001

The smoking pot, flaming torch and God’s covenant with Himself that benefited Abraham is a reflection of our covenant of grace. This sermon looks at the promise that is not dependent upon us, but on God’s grace.

The Covenant of Grace Genesis 15:1 After these things the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision, saying, "Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward." 2 But Abram said, "Lord GOD, what will You give me, seeing I go childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer ...read more
