    Conformity To The Cross Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 4, 2021
     | 2,293 views

    The Corinthians Christians had become arrogant, crowing like a rooster. To use a Texas idiom, they had become “all hat and no cattle.” In the words of Glenn Campbell, “A Rhinestone Cowboy.”

    It’s a message from Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians and it represents a journey of sorts. A journey to an another land – and older land – where the goals of Christianity were not set by marketers in order to make it more palatable. Instead, the agenda was set by prophets who sought holy, ...read more

    If you want to bring overflowing joy to those who serve you, refresh them, reconcile yourself to them, repent, and remain true to them.

    Donn Moomaw, a football player who became a pastor, was preaching at the Bel Air Presbyterian Church in Los Angeles. After the service, a lady came up to him and said, “Oh, Reverend Moomaw, I just have to tell you that every sermon you preach is better than your next.” He thanked her, but when he ...read more

    How To Tell If Your Spiritual Health Is Good

    Contributed by Brian Atwood on Jun 20, 2003

     | 26,324 views

    Our English word "hygiene" comes from the Greek word for "sound" (sound doctrine; sound faith; sound speech) used in the Pastoral Letters - this sermon evaluates these signs of good spiritual health.

    Going to the doctor for a checkup is something a lot of people do religiously. They want to make sure their health is not failing in ways they can’t detect on their own. Not a bad idea. Likewise we are prone to miss some signs of poor spiritual health if we don’t check up on it regularly. In ...read more

    God even sends Jesus-Christ to us him not a hundred angels... not the best of the pastors, but Jesus himself! An eternal consolation - not for a moment or a moment as a consolation which would come from the "world" in the tests.

    LE CHRIST QUI CONSOLE Lecture : 2 Thess 2/16-17. « Que notre Seigneur Jésus-Christ lui-même, et Dieu notre Père, qui nous a aimés, et qui nous a donné par sa grâce une consolation éternelle et une bonne espérance, consolent vos cœurs, et vous affermissent en toute bonne oeuvre et en toute bonne ...read more

    A CHURCH OF THE NAZARENE Pastor preaches on how we want to be effective servants of the King. But more than our desire is required. Jesus must allow us to succeed in His work here on earth.

    I was asked to share my feelings about suicide by the husband, who had been hurt many years earlier by some inappropriate comments by a pastor upon the suicide death of his friend.

    “My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth. And by this we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before Him. For if our hearts condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things. Beloved, if our heart does not ...read more

    An exposition of several texts as a “pastoral care intervention” message pointing out the problem of disunity in the church caused by individualism and calling those attending worship to reach out to those who do not attend.

    Purpose: to be the Holy Spirit’s second witness calling God’s people in my care to take the first step and reach out to professing Christians that are not attending worship services. Response: Individuals will raise their hands to indicate that they know at least one professing Christian that does ...read more

    In a time when Church, is seen in terms of Programs and systems that bring growth or perhaps even on the personality of the Pastor or leaders. We need to ask ourselves afresh. “Whose Church is it, any way?”

    What two attitudes destroy the unity of the church? What is the only way given in Scripture to fight against this? Listen as Pastor Steve shows how we are to be involved in "Maintaining Spiritual Unity."

    Tonight we’re looking once again at the portion of Scripture that speaks to the subject of unity in the church. Philippians 2:1-4 says, “Therefore if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and mercy, fulfill my joy by being ...read more

    When changes come, we will not fear but put our faith to work and trust in the Lord. I preached this sermon on Reformation Sunday, a week after the Senior Pastor left to take another assignment.

    Beloved brothers and sisters in Christ, this Sunday is different. God has given Pastor Steve a new assignment. We have said our farewells, we have shed our tears. Today we came to worship knowing that it won’t be the same. Yet we came because we love the Lord, because we are part of our Grace ...read more
