Sermons on Paul Was Blameless:

Lord, What Do You Want Me To Do?

Contributed by William Tan Yh on Sep 16, 2020

Apostle Paul encountered the Lord Jesus on the road to Damascus and he was changed forever. His life was to live for Christ and for the assignment which Christ had given him. For Paul said, For me to live is Christ, to die is gain.

Good morning leaders and co-laborers in the Lord, do you remember what did Paul said to Jesus on the road to Damascus at the time of his conversion? The Call of Apostle Paul on the road to Damascus. Acts 9:6 “Lord, what do You want me to do?” From that time, the life of Paul was never the same ...read more

What's A Preacher To Do? Series

Contributed by David Owens on Jun 20, 2022

After Paul's customary, brief introduction, he moved right into the challenges facing Timothy in his ministry in Ephesus. We can distill Paul's advice to Timothy down into four directives.

Introduction: A. Ministry can be a challenge for ministers and for members – How’s that for an understatement? B. But imagine seeing this “want ad” for a preacher: 1. “Must have experience as a shepherd, CEO, office manager, educator, salesman, diplomat, referee, writer, theologian, politician, ...read more

The Paradox Of Money Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 19, 2021

Paul says the love of money is the root of all evil, and Mark Twain said, the lack of money is the root of all evil. The one does not eliminate the other, for Twain's remark compliments Paul's.

Someone said, life is an everlasting struggle to keep money coming in, and teeth, hair, and vital organs from coming out. Few have known this better than General Ulysses S. Grant. He led the armies of the North to victory in the Civil War, and was twice elected president of the United States. He ...read more

Final Exhortations

Contributed by Charles Mallory on Aug 3, 2007

*(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

Imitators Not Pretenders Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Oct 14, 2020

Paul wanted to ensure the Thessalonians imitated the example he had lived before them, and most importantly, the example of Christ. Rather than pretending to emulate their faith, they were to actively live out their faith.

Imitators not Pretenders 1 Thessalonians 2: 10-13 As I studied this passage I was reminded of the need for sincerity and genuineness among the church. We live in a day plagued with hypocrisy.

What’s A Preacher To Do? Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Sep 5, 2010

Christians have all kinds of opinions about what preachers should do in their congregations. But what does God want those who enter the pulpit ministry to focus on? What is the "main thing" that these men should devote themselves to?

There’s an old saying: “The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing.” We’ll come back to that in a moment. Back in the 1990’s the Indianapolis Pacers Basketball Team had been struggling for more than a decade to be a contender in the NBA. With the exception of a couple of years, ...read more
