    In 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, the Apostle Paul says to the believer"s at Thessalonica, "Rejoice always; pray without ceasing: in everything give thanks; for this is God"s will for you in Christ Jesus."

    I preached this sermon while filling the pulpit of a church seeking a pastor. It (the sermon) discusses how the Body of Christ is responsible for the state of our nation, but from a different angle than one might expect.

    This is How We Blew It Texts: Luke 18:8; 2nd Cor. 13:5; James 2:14-26 (and others) By: Kenny McKinley (Read Texts and open with prayer and thanksgiving) As I was praying and considering what to preach here today, I considered the fact that I was going to be in a church where I didn’t know any of ...read more

    What Stands In The Way?

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 22, 2004
    based on 49 ratings
     | 5,346 views

    For Ascension Sunday; and in preparation for my retirement as pastor. What stands in our way? Exhaustion? Gather all, gather the marginalized, and pray. Planless? Remember our core values and do them. Lack of urgency? We are accountable to God.

    When a leader and those he leads part company, we learn a whole lot about both of them. Their true values become apparent. The things they are really about become clear. There is no more game-playing when it is time for a leader and those he leads to part company. Sometimes they separate ...read more

    In this day and age that we live in young people are involved in all kinds of lifestyles, whether it be drug addiction, gang violence all the way to running from the call of God. In this sermon we will see why we need strong youth ministries today.

     | 8,719 views

    If you take a poll you’ll find that most people think of callings and vocations solely in the context of consecrated religious lives, such as pastors, teachers, missionaries and the like. And that’s tragic, because all people are called by their

    What Did God Call You For? (I Pet 2:20) Does God really call people to serve Him in particular ways? Who does God call, and how do they know? Could God be calling me to serve Him? Anybody receiving the Gospel’s message will at least wonder about these things; and it’s natural to bring them to ...read more

    *(Revised: December 2010) Paul exhorts us not to rest on our laurels, but to keep improving on what we are doing as a church. (Can also be used as a "farewell" message for Pastors leaving their church)

    EXHORTATIONS ARE UNIQUE EPILOGUES THAT ANNOUNCE THE JOYS OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND WELL-DOING WHILE AT THE SAME TIME SOUNDING THE ALARM TO WARN AGAINST GROWING CONTENT WITHIN THE PARAMETERS OF FRUITFUL MINISTRY. THE CHURCH IS A LABOR OF LOVE AND CANNOT SEPARATE THE TWO BY LABORING WITHOUT LOVING OR ...read more
