D-E-A-C-O-N

Contributed by Larry Wilson on Oct 7, 2011

What are the biblical requirements for the office of deacon. In 1 Tim. 3:1-7 the requirements for pastor are given, and so we have a pulpit committee and perhaps even a background check. But 1 Tim. 3:8-13 makes it clear that we need to be careful in choos

REQUIREMENTS FOR DEACONS 1 Timothy 3:8-13 THERE ARE AS MANY VERSES LISTING THE REQUIREMENTS OF DEACONS AS THERE ARE FOR PASTOR. A PASTOR MUST GO THROUGH AN INTENSE EXAMINATION, YET IN MANY CHURCHES DEACONS SLIDE ONTO THE BOARD UNCHECKED. THAT HAS NOT BEEN THE CASE AT CALVARY. There are ...read more

Why I Don't Have A "Vision" Or "5 Year Plan" For Our Church

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jun 13, 2018

This is an abbreviated sermon used after my annual pastor's report to the congregation explaining why we do not have a written "business plan" for church growth. Instead it lays out the 3 foundational steps the Lord has put in my heart as I serve here.

If you would, please stand as we say together our memory Scripture for this quarter: Romans 12:4-5 “Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.” ...read more

Dealing With Tensions And Conflicts In Churches And Church Organisations – Practical Examination And Suggestions – Part 4 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Feb 21, 2024

We need mature men in ministry, tried and tested and well established in the bible. Many times the pastor finds himself in the middle of problems and tensions, some serious, particularly when it comes to complaints about others. A cult following must not happen to any minister. Humility!

They can be difficult to remedy and this series of articles looks at some areas that cause tensions and ...read more

I Am A Survivor "When The Smoke Clears"

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Apr 10, 2020

Our God is all powerful and can do anything but He chooses to work through men. Every protective barrier has failed; Kings, prophets, priest, governors, pastors and judges are fearfull, yet God is searching for an intercesor to stand in the gap and make up the hedge.

The name Ezekiel means God strengthens or God empowers. This young prophet of God had experienced some difficult times. He along with Daniel, the Hebrews boys and many others had been carried captive into Babylon. They lost their identity, their heritage and their dignity. It is one thing to be in ...read more

The Marriage Of The Lamb Series

Contributed by Larry Grant on Sep 12, 2021

Years ago Pastor Alan Carr preached “A Marriage made in Heaven” where he talked about the marriage of the Lord Jesus as the catalyst for Heaven’s anthems of praise. Those in Heaven lift their voices in four “Hallelujah’s” (4 Specific praises to God)!

We have arrived at an exciting portion of the Bible. After the dark, dreary chapters from 6 to 18 these verses gleam with the glory of Heaven. We are going to talk about the marriage super of the Lamb. You see, for the church, the end times shape up like this: In the Rapture, we will be Caught Up; ...read more

Invitation To The Table Series

Contributed by Roshelle Brenneise on Oct 2, 2025

We look at Communion 1 dimensionally and have reduced it to a cold, formal requirement. We sit. The pastor and elder tell us some stuff and the deacons pass us a tiny wafer and a minute glass of grape juice – job done. Communion over. Now potluck.

October 04, 2025 Jesus calls us to remember and partake in the Communion meal with him. However, we look at Communion 1 dimensionally and have reduced it to a cold, formal requirement. We sit.

Made Alive.

Contributed by Howard Strickland on Apr 13, 2024

The famous Baptist pastor D.L. Moody used to say, “Some day, you will read in the papers that D.L. Moody of East Northfield is dead. Don’t believe a word of it! At that moment I shall be more alive than I am now!”

Made Alive. Ephesians 2:1-22NIV The book of Ephesians was written some 70AD. The apostle Paul wrote this book from prison. What would make a man go to such extremes? -Paul had been made alive! He had a Damascus Road experience. -When you are made alive, ...read more

The Call Of God Series

Contributed by Shine Thomas on Sep 8, 2008

Some people believe God calls only Christians. Some believe God calls only pastors and church leaders. The fact is God calls everyone and the call of God is open to all who believe in Him. In other words the call of God is open to them who listens to the

"In The Hands Of The Potter..." By Dr. Winson Butler

Contributed by Winson Butler on Jul 9, 2005

I heard a Pastor once say "It don’t take a genius to spot a goat in a flock of sheep." It shouldn’t take someone long to comprehend the message to Jeremiah from God as he went down to the Potter’s house either. Let see it together!

Introduction Jeremiah, The weeping prophet. What a man. What a message. What a MESS! The nation was in ruins. God wanted it turned around. Jeremiah was his man.

Holding Our Ground In The Faith,

Contributed by William Yates on Mar 24, 2004

We in America and in the church are in the midst of a great cultural war. How do we respond when we hear of gay marriages and gay pastors being ordained? We can learn from 1 Chronicles 11 that we need to not retreat, but rather hold the high ground.

Holding Our Ground in the Faith Note: I am a United Methodist pastor who wrote this sermon in response to a recent ruling to allow a gay pastor to retain her ministry in the church. Though this message exhorts United Methodists to take a stand against a few radical elements within our fold, I ...read more

A look at Jesus as He dealt with His Disciples trying to get them to see Him for who He is and understand His purpose. As Pastors, we do the same thing each week, and get the same response from many...they don't get it and it can be frustrating.....
