Sermons on Outreach Programs:

Joshua A Successful Leader Series

Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Feb 25, 2022

Many spiritual programs, activities, and events are not fruitful, not successful, and never yield the targeted result, not because of lack of money and personnel but lack of sincere prayer warriors. We get people to stand on the frontline but not on the kneeling.

Theme: You will be Successful Text: Joshua 1:1-9 Greetings: The Lord is good and His love endures forever. Introduction: Joshua was known as the soldier of the Lord and a successor of Moses. According to the Dictionary of the Bible: “Four theological themes appear in the descriptions of ...read more

Willing To Sacrifice Series

Contributed by Guy Glass on Oct 5, 2005

This message brings an interesting question regarding what is ours and what we are willing to sacrifice. It seems that the level of commitment and outreach for Christ is related to what we perceive as our rights against what we sacrifice as God.

WILLING TO SACRIFICE 1 CORINTHIANS9:1-15 INTRODUCTION: In this chapter, Paul makes some statements concerning his apostleship. He takes the time to describe his rights as an apostle and minister, and also his sacrifice as that same apostle and minister. In essence, Paul embraces his rights, and ...read more

The Man Who Hated Christmas

Contributed by Dan Erickson on Nov 21, 2000

Today we are going to talk about a real person, an individual who plays an important part in the Bible's account of Jesus' birth, but who is seldom mentioned in Christmas programs or sermons. His name is King Herod.

The man who hated Christmas. Who am I talking about? Is it Ebenezer Scrooge, the miser whose motto for Christmas was "bah-humbug"? Or is it The Grinch, the creature who tries to steal Christmas because he can't stand to see people happy? Well, neither. Today we are going to talk about a real ...read more

Hope For The Church Pt. 2

Contributed by Mike Fogerson on Feb 18, 2013

Paul encouraged the church at Galatia not to forsake the power of the Spirit for the works of the flesh. Nothing can take the place of the Holy Spirit’s presence in the life of the church (no sermon, song, program, choir, ministry)

Flip The Switch

Contributed by David Edward Ray on Jun 6, 2019

Do you sometimes feel powerless in your walk with Christ? You've read all the books, watched all the programs and still feel there is something missing. The answer may be as simple as flipping the switch.

Construction Site Or Warzone?

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Aug 25, 2021

God is calling the church to rebuild after the Corona Virus pandemic lock-downs. Any church that rebuilds becomes a construction site, which is a warzone for spiritual battle. This message can be re-worked for a building program.

Last week I mentioned how I believe that God is calling us to rebuild our fellowship after a series of setbacks. This means that our church is currently sitting smack dab in the middle of a spiritual construction site. I remember how I once pastored a church where we built a multipurpose ...read more

A Life Of Gratitude (Thanksgiving Message)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 19, 2022

Bart Simpson, in a program aimed at millions of America's young, is asked to say grace and he says, "Dear God, we paid for all this stuff ourselves, so thanks for nothing."

The attitude of ungratefulness can not only be seen in the cartoons in the newspaper, but also in the lives of people. WHAT AN UNGRATEFUL PEOPLE WE HAVE BECOME! For example, if you have attended church very long you have experienced ingratitude. • There are people who will attend church to get ...read more
