    Do You Want The Church To Grow?

    Contributed by Fr. Rian Adams on Jan 20, 2020
     | 2,480 views

    This is a sermon on evangelism that is tied to Jesus's call to the apostle Andrew. Andrew 1) grows in discipleship and 2) grows the church. The sermon tells people that they can be excited and happy about their faith, and share it with other people.

    Do you want the church to grow? Andrew wasn’t the popular kid in class. His name is only mentioned in twelve verses in the Bible, and eight of those describe him as "Peter's little brother." Even though he was one of the first two or three followers of Jesus, Peter was still the ...read more

    The church that Ann and I attend brings us joy and peace – and, sometimes amusement. Like is true with many of you, we sit in the same pew almost every Sunday. We are surrounded by wonderful, friendly people who share our faith.

    The beautiful story of Joseph has attracted a lot of attention through the years. Andrew Lloyd Weber thought so highly of the story that he developed the story of Joseph into a Broadway musical, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.

    If you think you’re job is hard, think about this… Just like an NFL quarterback, NASA will schedule the launch of a rocket in an open window. A launch window is determined for each rocket and the window has several factors. Imagine the complications in attempting to place a land rover on the ...read more

    We’ve been talking about worship that last couple of weeks. Two weeks ago I talked about how worship is, “More than just singing.” Last week I discussed, “Enthusiastic worship.” This week I’m discussing, “The benefit of music.”

    The third of the Word Warrior Series, this message is another look into the attributes of God.

    Growing up, I didn't really watch movies much. Sure, there were some movies on Saturday and Sunday afternoons and "movies of the week" on TV, but we only had six channels on our old TV set. That was before the days of big-time cable TV (only local stations then), so what was on was what you ...read more

    A slightly different twist on the familiar story of Mary and Martha. Using an analogy of Kentucky Fried Chicken, how do we act when life treats us to chicken wings? Have faith in God because He is bigger than our problems.

    Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, when was the last time you brought home a family-size bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken? I imagine more people will be buying those again since KFC announced they no longer use partially hydrogenated fats for frying. What portion do you usually choose from the ...read more

    Discover The Real Worth Of Your Work

     | 4,542 views

    We express our worth through our work by working hard, obeying with the right motives, remembering the rewards and knowing the real Master.

    Unless we see the worth of our work, we will never find fulfillment in doing it. Unless we see why we are doing what we are doing, we will never be happy with our jobs. Let me clarify that our worth as persons is not dependent on our work. Even if our work vanishes, our worth does not vanish with ...read more

     | 16,987 views

    As Joseph reconnects with his brothers, he models for us three steps toward reconciliation: 1) Turn away from revenge. 2) Test for repentance. And 3) Trust in God's sovereignty. Judah's sacrifice reminds us of our Savior Jesus who reconciled us to God.

    Genesis 45:1-15 The Joy of Reconciliation We are covering the amazing story of the Old Testament character of Joseph in two Sundays. The actual story covers 14 chapters of Genesis. I urge you to read it on your own. It is a fascinating account of the worst kind of betrayal and the most amazing ...read more
