    based on 1 rating
     | 4,274 views

    The church is looking more like a country club with every year, this is a call back to service instead of being served. We are not on a religious vacation, but a spiritual journey.

    COUNTRY CLUB TO CHURCH: THE MEMBERSHIP THEME: OVERCOMING A ME ATTITUDE FOR A CHRIST ATTITUDE TEXT: PHIL. 3:1-11 Feeling the hot sun upon me is heavenly.

    Mercy Instead Of Sacrifice

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 11, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 3,334 views

    The Pharisees criticized Jesus for eating with tax collectors. They thought they were better than Matthew, as they went around acting holy. Outward show doesn’t determine a person’s relationship with God. It's about the heart.

    This morning I am going to touch on the subject of “hypocrisy.” It’s difficult to preach on this subject matter because none of us are without some form of hypocrisy in our life. Jesus told us not to point out the splinter in our brother’s eye until we have removed the log in our own eye (Matthew ...read more

    Two Kinds Of Religion

    In the midst of church scandals, can we look beyond human sins and see God at work? We religious leaders are the object of Jesus’ greatest criticisms; will we listen?

    In the midst of church scandals, can we look beyond human sins and see God at work? We religious leaders are the object of Jesus’ greatest criticisms; will we listen? Let’s discuss the two ways of being, the takers and givers in the context of Mark 12:38-44. Outward Show Mark 12:38-39 In His ...read more

    Do You Have The Fruit Of Repentance In Your Life?

    Contributed by John Lowe on Feb 4, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,705 views

    “Brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?” He is talking to Pharisees and Sadducees, who were very religious but also very distant from God. Many of us here this morning could easily claim to be very religious, but if we are. . . .

    25-Aug-05 Do You Have The Fruit Of Repentance In Your Life? Matthew 3:7-11 7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, “Brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 8 Therefore bear fruits worthy ...read more

    This is the final message from the series "Close Encounters". This is also a good message for a World Missions emphasis. The outline is 1-Isaiah's Upward Look, 2-)Isaiah's Inward Look, and 3-)Isaiah's Outward Look.

    CLOSE ENCOUNTERS SERIES 16 – THE PROPHET ISAIAH This morning, we’re continuing with our sermon series, entitled CLOSE ENCOUNTERS and we’ve been talking about the lives of some of the greatest in the Word of God and seeing how they have had CLOSE ENCOUNTERS And it’s been ...read more

    Faith To Heal Series

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Feb 23, 2015
     | 8,308 views

    The key to faith is in Jesus. His presence with the disciples is what matters. His call is to keep trusting, to keep focusing on him rather than on outward circumstances. Don’t be afraid, just believe.

    If you were here last week you may remember that I asked whether you have trouble believing that God still intervenes in the world in a miraculous way. Well, a similar question arises today. Not whether you believe that God can answer your prayers, rather do you believe that he will answer your ...read more

    Holiness In Worship Series

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Jan 28, 2025
     | 453 views

    Worship is the highest form of reverence and adoration we can give to God. Holiness in worship is not only about the outward acts, such as singing or kneeling, but it is also about the condition of our hearts and the purity of our intentions.

    Title: HOLINESS IN WORSHIP By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Hebrews 12:28 “Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe.” Supporting Texts: John 4:23-24 Romans 12:1 Psalm 29:2 Psalm 99:9 1 Peter ...read more

    Death From Christians Perspective Series

    Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Nov 22, 2021
     | 3,092 views

    Some deaths people treat as a “tragic end”, but for some deaths, people say “well-earned rest”. Our judgments are not true because those are based on outward known deeds. Death reveals mysteries.

    Message for Memorial Day – Theme: DEATH in Christian Perspective Text: 1 Corinthians 15:56 The Diagnosis A woman accompanied her husband to visit a doctor. After his check-up, the doctor called the wife into his chamber. He said, "If you don't do the following, your husband will surely ...read more

    God's Anointing Youth Sermon

    Contributed by Youth Sermons on Sep 5, 2023
    based on 4 ratings
     | 1,024 views

    God often chooses unlikely people, seeing beyond their outward appearance and focusing on their hearts. He does this to display His power through our lives as we walk in the anointing and gifting of the Holy Spirit.

    God tells this prophet, Samuel, to go to Bethlehem and anoint one of Jesse's sons as the new king. Samuel sees the oldest son, Eliab, and thinks, "This guy looks like king material." But God's like, "Nope, I don't look at the outside; I look at the heart." So, none of Jesse's seven sons present ...read more

    Call To A Collapsing Country

    based on 48 ratings
     | 7,863 views

    This message deals with the futility of religious activity apart from obedience to God, and the similarities between the conditions of Israel during the days of Jeremiah and the churches of today.

    Call To A Collapsing Country Text: Jer.8: 1-12 Intro: The nation of Israel had enjoyed God’s blessings in an unprecedented way. God had personally chosen them to be His people from among all the peoples of the earth. According to the Scriptures, this was not due to any special attractiveness ...read more

    Dumb Dogs Series

    Contributed by C. Philip Green on May 14, 2013
     | 8,025 views

    Jesus is not impressed with the outward trappings of self-righteousness. He is impressed with a heart full of simple faith, which we find most often in the hearts of those we least expect. So like Jesus feed the "dogs" and touch the "dumb."

    Dumb Dogs (Mark 7:24-37) I like this thought posted by Mike Atkinson in his daily email humor list some time ago. "If you can start the day without caffeine; if you can get going without pep pills; if you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains; if you can resist complaining and boring ...read more

    The Heart Of The Matter Series

    based on 27 ratings
     | 7,206 views

    Learn from the mistakes of the Pharisees: (1) Don’t be too caught up by the outward, it’s the heart that counts; (2) Don’t be too caught up by what man thinks; it’s what God thinks that counts.

    We are all creatures of habit. We do many things over and over again. • There is nothing wrong with that. There will surely be routines in life. • But the danger comes when we get so accustomed to them, that we no longer understand the reason why we are doing them. • If fact, we may have lost its ...read more

    With so many religious options available, why worship Jesus? Why look to Him only? A message for Palm Sunday.

    Palm Sunday April 8, 2001 What a spectacle it must have been. A grown man on a donkey is treated to the reception of a king. That’s how Jesus entered Jerusalem on Palm Sunday. Surrounded by a crowd who shouted Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord. They wanted to ...read more
