     | 372 views

    You are never too old to be used of God.

    1. You take a new look at yourself on your birthday. “I am this day eight-five years old” (Joshua 14:10). a. You look at your past. “Moses ... sent me ... to spy out the land” (14:7). b. You survey your present condition. “I am as strong on this day, as ...” (14:11). c. You plan your future. ...read more

    Living A Life Of Holiness Series

     | 6,496 views

    The first 21 verses of 1 Peter could be summed this way (vs.3-12) living a life of Holiness and verses (vs.13-21) fear for God. Not a fear of bodily harm but a respect and concern as we struggle to live a life before the righteous God (1Pet 1:16)

    Intro Illustration: David Kinnaman, president of the Barna Group, discusses some disheartening research concerning the failure of Christians in our day to remain distinct: "In virtually every study we conduct, representing thousands of interviews every year, born again Christians (talking about ...read more

     | 451 views

    Holiness is not limited to our actions but is also reflected in our words. Communication is a powerful tool that can build up or tear down. As believers, we are called to ensure that our words align with God’s standards of righteousness.

    Title: HOLINESS IN COMMUNICATION By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Colossians 4:6 Supporting Texts: Ephesians 4:29, Proverbs 18:21, Matthew 12:36-37, James 3:5-10 INTRODUCTION: Holiness is not limited to our actions but is also reflected in our words.

    Speaking & Boasting Youth Sermon

    based on 4 ratings
     | 583 views

    Our words have the power to bring life or death. We must be mindful of how we use them, ensuring they reflect our faith and the love of Christ.

    James kicks off by saying that teachers and preachers are gonna be judged more strictly because their words carry a lot of weight. Our words can make a huge difference, and if we can get a handle on what we say, we can control our whole selves. Imagine this: You're playing a video game, and you're ...read more

    Words Have Power/ Don’t Babel

    Contributed by Amiri Hooker on Jun 4, 2022
     | 2,306 views

    We all grow as disciples of Jesus Christ, enlarging our understanding of the church and the faith. And then maybe we can overcome Babel by speaking one in Christ on this Pentecost Sunday.

    This text is offered as an alternative First Reading for the Day of Pentecost, with the instructions that if it is chosen, then Acts 2:1-21 gets used as the Second Reading. Certainly, there have been connections made between Genesis 11:1-9 and Acts 2:1-21, with people understanding God’s gift of ...read more

    Taming The Tongue Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Jul 26, 2021
     | 6,036 views

    James devotes most of chapter 3 to our challenge of controlling the tongue. In this sermon, we examine James' pronouncements about the tongue and then look at improper and proper uses of the tongue.

    Introduction: A. If your tongue has ever gotten you into trouble, then please raise your hand. 1. Turn to your neighbor and say, “I’m not surprised!” 2. We are not surprised, because it happens to all of us. 3. All of us have had the experience of saying something, and then wishing we had not said ...read more

    Our Fervor, Our Faith And Our Future

    Contributed by Judith Hand on Aug 7, 2010
     | 5,210 views

    Attending church does not mean you have actually worshipped. What please God is not fervor but faith. Our faith is placed in God who promised us a future with Him.

    Our FERVOR our FAITH and our FUTURE In our reading from Isaiah, we see that it was a time of great sin and rebellion. The people were still going through the motions of worshipping God, but their hearts were not in it and their behavior was no different from the ungodly folks around them. They ...read more

    How To Tell If Your Spiritual Health Is Good

    Contributed by Brian Atwood on Jun 20, 2003
    based on 179 ratings
     | 26,313 views

    Our English word "hygiene" comes from the Greek word for "sound" (sound doctrine; sound faith; sound speech) used in the Pastoral Letters - this sermon evaluates these signs of good spiritual health.

    Going to the doctor for a checkup is something a lot of people do religiously. They want to make sure their health is not failing in ways they can’t detect on their own. Not a bad idea. Likewise we are prone to miss some signs of poor spiritual health if we don’t check up on it regularly. In ...read more

     | 17,596 views

    May the Lord help us to resist and put away gossip and slander and other sins of the tongue in the light of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

    INTRODUCTION Please turn in your Bibles to Colossians chapter 3:8. Last week we explored verses 1-11 which address the issue of putting to death or putting away sin from our lives. We do this not in an attempt to make ourselves right with God, for God’s acceptance comes only through faith. We do it ...read more

    Wisdom With Words Youth Sermon

    Contributed by Youth Sermons on Sep 29, 2023
    based on 5 ratings
     | 684 views

    Using our words wisely is crucial for healthy relationships. We should learn to sit with others in their pain, use our words to build others up, guard our hearts, and be aware of our options to speak positively or negatively.

    Today, we're going to talk about our words. You know, those things we say without thinking sometimes? Yeah, those. Let's see what the Bible has to say about it. Ever heard of a guy named Job? Dude had it rough. Lost everything. His friends came to visit him, and you know what they did? They didn't ...read more
