    Contributed by Blake Inscore on Sep 25, 2008
    based on 11 ratings
     | 11,811 views

    Why does it seem that sometime we are just existing instead living for Jesus? That is our theme in this message.

    Introduction: I’d like to begin this morning by asking you a question. Are you living or existing? It seems that many times in our lives we are merely existing instead really living life for what its worth. We get up, go to work or school, or we begin our daily routine, whatever it may be and ...read more

    Praying For The Lost

     | 10,169 views

    Who’s on your prayer list? We spend more time praying for the saved who are sick than for the unsaved who are lost ... more time trying to keep the saints out of Heaven than the lost out of Hell.

    Praying for the Lost Matthew 9:35-38 Billy Graham once said that he estimated that only 5% of believers had ever shared the gospel message of salvation with someone else. Evidently, a young fellow named Jim did not want to be left out of that group. Having lived in Orlando, FL all of his life, ...read more

    We are to appreciate our special place in the Body of Christ.

    If you have a choice, which part of your body can you live without? I think you would answer with the famous line of the vitamin commercial, “I want to be complete.” Well, according to 1 Corinthians 12:27, “Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.” [1] I believe God ...read more

    A Gen Y Christian Wedding

    Contributed by Mark Armstrong on Jul 19, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,236 views

    Gen Y are getting married. A wedding talk from a worldview perspective.

    Let’s paint a BROAD PICTURE of Generation Y. The fountain of all internet knowledge, WIKIPEDIA, says that Generation Y were born in the mid-1980s through to the early 1990s. Gen Y are the OFFSPRING of the post-World War 2 baby-boomers. They were WEANED on instant communication technologies such as ...read more

    The Quiet Life

    As Christians, this may sound counter-productive to ministry! However, Paul lets us know that sometimes it is better to be seen than heard!

    INTRODUCTION Some time ago, I was presented with a challenge! A lady within my home congregation said something about a sermon she had never heard. She said that she had attended church since she was 6 and never, EVER heard a sermon on this scripture! Far be it from me to back down from a ...read more

    New Testament: A brief survey of the New Testament including brief descriptions of each major grouping of books. The goal is to encourage greater use of the Bible.

    [Start the sermon after the presentation of the video, The Bible, from sermonspice.com]. What did you think of the video? I think that the video truly unearths realities that we are often hesitant to speak about. I also think that we have to admit that there really is that sort of either ...read more

    Our text describes a better way to live, and move, and have our being. Eph. 5:15-17 directs specifically how saints are to behave in the 21st century.

    CONFRONTING THE DEMANDS OF THE 21ST CENTURY Text: Ephesians 5:15-17, "See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Wherefore be ye not unwise, but ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 15,857 views

    Haggai awakens the people from their complacency. Establish the priorities and make God the centre of their lives. Recognise the source of their blessings and trust God their Giver. Restore to God His due glory.

    Haggai is the 2nd shortest book in the OT, after Obadiah (last Sunday). • We are down to the last 3 books of the Minor Prophets and also the last 3 chronologically – Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi. • Haggai and Zechariah spoke to the Israelites after their return from captivity, challenging the ...read more

    11 Powerful Ways To Worship God

    Contributed by Peter Pilt on Apr 27, 2019
     | 8,384 views

    There are many ways the bible teaches us to worship God. Here is a sermon I used to teach my church on worship.

    Worship (PROSKUNEO) is a conscious glorification of God flowing from an inner attitude of lowly submission to His authority and awe at His majesty. The worship in heaven is about honour Honour means to ascribe weight and value to something. “Worship Him who made heaven and earth” (Revelation ...read more

    Job - First Do No Harm

     | 4,303 views

    How do we treat those who are suffering? This sermon is trying to answer that question from the life and experience of Job.

    Love does no harm The three thematics that run through Job 1) Retributional Theology 2) Suffering is Divine Chastening – Job, God is going to teach you something important through this 3) Suffering is only temporary – Job you have lost perspective – in the end – everything will be ok.

    Accept No Subsitutes

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Jul 28, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 9,563 views

    Paul's advice to the Colossians is still appropriate for us today: Build your faith on Jesus alone, reject any subtitutes or add-ons, and stay away from unhelful squabbles and judgments over non-essentials.

    Colossians 2:6-10, 16-19 Accept No Substitutes (Outlines in MS Word are available if needed; e-mail me at kerry.n.haynes@gmail.com) Paul lived in a time--much like today--when there was a lot of interest in spirituality. Some people were into worshipping angels. Others were coming up with ...read more

    Heaven Came Down/ Christmas Eve Service Series

    Contributed by Anthony Zibolski on Feb 15, 2019
     | 3,884 views

    Can we stop for a moment to imagine the excitement of heaven as Jesus comes to begin His redemption of mankind on earth. That God would send His Son Jesus is mind blowing.

    Heaven came down Yesterday, we read the Christmas story as recorded in Luke 2 as part of the service. I spoke of God’s love for “all people”. That God would send His Son Jesus to redeem mankind. (God’s love blows my mind) We saw God’s love was unconditionally for all and God’s love does not go by ...read more

    Five Plus Two Does Not Equal Seven, Revised 2014

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Nov 13, 2015
     | 7,049 views

    But following Jesus is a radical lifestyle, and Jesus asks us if we are willing to do the same. Are we willing to give up some of what we have, that others might not go hungry? Are we willing to give out of what God has given to us?

    Have you ever heard of the saying, “Every dark cloud has a silver lining”? If so, then the story of the loaves and fishes is a good example. Let me explain. This story happens just after the death of John the Baptist. When Jesus heard that his cousin was beheaded, he did what most of ...read more

    A sermon on the poor, the mourning, the hungry, and the persecuted (Introduction taken from Sermon Central's Adrian Pratt at: http://www.sermoncentral.com/sermons/inside-out-and-upside-down-adrian-pratt-sermon-on-christian-love-33979.asp)

    HoHum: Inside out and upside down. What on earth was Jesus talking about here? Blessed are the poor? Happy are the hungry? Fortunate are the tearful? I never heard anybody say, “Isn’t this great, I’m starving!” I have never seen a person sobbing their heart out with a smile ...read more
