Sermons on Not Yet Finished:

Reliving The Relevancy Of Palm Sunday!

Contributed by Thomas Fortini on Apr 4, 2021

Reliving the relevancy of the “Palm Sunday” will hopefully not only prick, but better yet, penetrate our hearts, and perhaps trigger a new season of repentance, spiritual renewal, and revival, within our lives by the transforming truths that lie latent within each picture.

We are turning today, to an event that is recorded in all four gospels. That would signal to us the importance of it. An event that marks the last week of Jesus’ earthly life, and event that you can see as I project the scripture passage on the screen the superscription placed upon it by the bible ...read more

Don't Give Up On Prayer Or On The Return Of Jesus!

Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Oct 19, 2010

God will answer our prayers. Jesus will return - but both often seem to be taking such a long time! This short talk encourages us not to give up on prayer, nor to give up on the return of Jesus.

On 10th May 2003, through the post I received six letters concerning my claim for Tax Credits - much to my annoyance, since I made my application quite some time before. Back in 2003 the Tax Credit Office were singled out for a lot of criticism, and every day there seemed to be a story of a ...read more

Do You Love Me? A Call To Faithful Service

Great Messages Of Encouragement #2: Strength To The Weary

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Jan 15, 2022

In Isaiah's day Judah was invaded by Assyria, threatened by Babylon and ridden with sin. And yet, Isaiah offers a wonderful message of encouragement: 'they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles.' How is that possible?

Last week we started a series on ‘Great Messages of Encouragement’ in Scripture. Today we’re going to look at a great message of encouragement in Isaiah. It’s at the end of Isaiah 40. Isaiah writes: “He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength. Even ...read more

Sermon # 21 - There Is Hope Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on May 20, 2025

Job was struck with tragedy and loss like no one could ever imagine. Yet, Job could praise God and his faith in God was unshakeable. Through all the storms and trials that come our way, let’s hold on because Jesus our Redeemer lives and He is our protector, refuge and fortress.

We read in Job 1:1, “There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job. And that man was blameless and upright, and one who feared God and turned aside from evil.” (AFV) The testimony about Job The bible when describing about this man called Job, introduces him as one who was blameless, ...read more

Now, That Makes No Sense At All!

Contributed by Michael Stark on Oct 11, 2019

It makes no sense to be part of the same family and be mad when the father chooses to do for one what he hasn’t chosen to do for the other. Yet, this is precisely what happened in the parable Jesus told of two sons, either of whom were prodigal.

“Jesus said, ‘There was a man who had two sons. And the younger of them said to his father, “Father, give me the share of property that is coming to me.” And he divided his property between them. Not many days later, the younger son gathered all he had and took a journey into a far country, and ...read more

Moving Forward In Favor Series

Contributed by Mike Fogerson on Dec 16, 2014

I believe God has called us serve faithfully where He's assigned us . . . where we’re at. Most of the time, what we do for the kingdom goes unnoticed, unrewarded, unacknowledged. Yet you keep right on working/striving.

Introduction: A You and I are not ministering in the limelight of a national ministry, where thousands of people know what we are doing (Perry Stone’s, Ron Philipp’s, Damon Thompson’s, Rick Pino’s, John MacCarther’s, John Piper’s, John Kilpatrick’s) 1 God ...read more

Stop The Killing Spree!

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Feb 12, 2017

Killing sprees shock us with their cruelty to human life. Yet, how often do we engage in our own killing sprees, mentally murdering those with whom we are angry. Jesus calls us to stop it, and to bend over backwards to make things right with others.

Matthew 5:21-26 Stop the Killing Spree! William Boyette, suspected of killing four women in two states, died Tuesday from a self-inflicted gunshot wound after a police standoff at a Georgia motel. Police arrested Mary Rice, his accomplice. As appalling as their little Bonnie and Clyde killing ...read more

Don't Drop The Baton

Contributed by Dean Morgan on Sep 8, 2004

What this is saying is that God has provided something better for us and all of those people of faith in chapter 11, Abraham, Noah, Samuel, and David etc. have a task that has not been completed and it will not be completed without us.

TEXT: Hebrews 11:4, 5, 8, 20, 23, 30, 32; 12:1 TITLE: DON’T DROP THE BATON {Carry a baton with you into the pulpit as an illustration} This is a chapter of faith. Most of the time when we preach this we stop around verse 30 or 35. The reason we stop around verses 30-35 is because the end of the ...read more

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Jul 9, 2002

How do we know our salvation is assured? We know because our salvation is God’s work from start to finish. God has poured out his love on us in Jesus Christ. He’s filled us with his Spirit as the sign and seal of the salvation to come. It’s God who’s begu

Well, it’s July 7, the year is half over, and today we reach the end of the first part of the letter to the Romans. So I thought it might be good to stop and think about where we’ve come over the past five months. We began with the realisation that all of us, no matter what our background, have a ...read more

"it's Not Fair!" (Part Three) Series

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Jun 3, 2019

Last week we looked at the prophet who was lied to by another prophet yet the one who was deceived was punished. We looked at Moses not being allowed into the promised land because he struck the rock instead of speaking to it. Today we'll see what happened to Uzzah.

"IT'S NOT FAIR!" (part three) Recap: In week one I talked about Adam and Eve's one sin that got them banished from the garden of Eden. And I talked about one of the greatest examples of 'it's not fair' in the story of Job. Last week I talked about the prophet who ...read more

Why Eagles Fly And Chickens Flutter

Contributed by John Gaston on Oct 28, 2023

Christians, like Eagles, are destined to fly high in Christ's victorious nature and righteousness. They don't conform to the nature of fallen creatures, who can only flutter slightly above the ground of sin and corruption. Have you realized your genetic heritage yet?

WHY EAGLES FLY AND CHICKENS FLUTTER Rom. 12:2 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Often we get into the same messes as those we’re critical of. 2.
