    Death From Christians Perspective Series

    Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Nov 22, 2021
     | 3,110 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

    Holiness In Worship Series

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Jan 28, 2025
     | 465 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

    God's Anointing Youth Sermon

    Contributed by Youth Sermons on Sep 5, 2023
    based on 4 ratings
     | 1,035 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

    The Little Apocalypse

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 10, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 8,989 views

    We do not know the day and the hour when Jesus will return, so we also need to keep awake and be watchful. This message is not just for the early disciples, but for us all.

    THE LITTLE APOCALYPSE. Mark 13:1-37. I. Mark 13, and its equivalents in Matthew 24 and Luke 21:5-36, is sometimes entitled “the little apocalypse.” This passage is poised between Jesus’ teaching in the Temple (Mark 12), and the account of the Passion (Mark 14-15). The main thrust of the chapter ...read more

     | 11,215 views

    Ash Wednesday (B). Too often we focus on our outward behavior, our sins. But the root of our problem is not sins, but sin, our sinful nature. Joel urges us to "Turn to God and live."

    J. J. May the words of my mouth, and the meditations of our hearts, be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, our Rock and our Redeemer. Amen. “Give up giving up” What are you giving up for Lent? Anything? Some people give up something for lent. Not with the purpose of earning ...read more

    The Fruit Of The Spirit

    Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Feb 22, 2019
     | 10,887 views

    When believers are controlled by the Holy Spirit, they manifest: 1) Upward Fruit (Galatians 5:22a) 2) Outward Fruit (Galatians 5:22b) and 3) Inward Fruit (Galatians 5:23)

    What qualifies someone for a task? There is a story of the testing of a candidate for missions work: One snowy morning at 5:00 a.m., a missionary candidate rang the bell at a missionary examiner’s home. Ushered into the office, he sat three hours past his appointment time waiting for his interview. ...read more

    Christ In The Heart: It's Just That Simple Series

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Jun 6, 2024
     | 855 views

    You can sit in church your whole life and never let Christ into your heart. You can try very hard to adjust your outward behaviors but never let His love into yourself.

    In all this deep discussion of prayer and God’s presence and turning ourselves toward Him, we must always return to the basic, simple understanding of who Jesus Christ is to us. You can sit in church your whole life and never let Christ into your heart. You can try very hard to adjust your outward ...read more

    The Heart Of The Matter Series

    based on 27 ratings
     | 7,223 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

    Apple Of Love Series

     | 6,753 views

    What is "physical fruit"? "An outward evidence of the inward nature of the tree." (We know an apple tree is an apple tree because is produces apples). Likewise, if we are walking in the Spirit, we will evidence His inward presence.

    THE APPLE OF LOVE In John 15:8, Jesus declared, "In this is My Father glorified, that you bear much fruit, so shall you be My disciples." We glorify the Father and prove that we are followers of Jesus, when we produce the Fruit of the Spirit. The Fruit of the Spirit is much ...read more

     | 6,884 views

    There is no truer indicator of a Christian’s level of spiritual maturity than their prayer life. Paul’s outward ministry reveals so much about Paul, but his prayer life gives us a glimpse at his soul.

    Essentials for Growth in Godliness Philippians 1:9-11 Intro As we have started our study of the book of Philippians, we have already learned that Paul was a man that did not find his joy in the circumstances of the world, but rather in God. I think we can all agree that Paul had a great passion ...read more

    Thanksgiving Turns Us Inside Out Series

    Contributed by Robert Higgins on Apr 17, 2008
     | 2,902 views

    When our mind is set up on the things of the Spirit, we will be “outward focused.” When our mind is set upon the things of the flesh, we re “inward focused.” Thanksgiving directs our attention toward God.

    1. Review of Inside Out a. We are selfish, self-centered and self-absorbed. b. We turn to meeting our own needs and our own wants all too easily. c. God doesn’t want us to be that way. i. How do I know that? Because that is what is at the core of what we call sin – self. ii. If you think about this ...read more

    based on 36 ratings
     | 28,620 views

    Because God has made us righteous in Christ, He expects us to live righteously or with right behavior. Such behavior is the outward manifestation of the inward transformation, & the only sure proof that such inner transformation has taken place.

    Matters of the Heart Series COLOSSIANS 3: 12-17 “A HEART FULL OF GRACE” In our text the Bible describes what God expects of the believer in response to what He has done for us by His Amazing Grace.

     | 3,808 views

    Proposition: When you are suffering, it is easier to agonize over the loss of God’s outward blessing and proper relationship to God Himself, than keep an upbeat attitude and keep from sinning in one’s inward spirit.
