People On A Mission Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Aug 31, 2009

Being a disciple means being called to mission. This isn’t an optional extra.

By Rev Bill Stewart Can I begin by asking you to cast your mind back? For some of us it will only be a short time for others it may be somewhat longer. Cast your mind back to the first time your Christian faith really came alive for you. When was it? Why was it? When I was in primary school my ...read more

Everyday People Series

Contributed by Jim Drake on Nov 16, 2009

As you look at our passage today, you will notice that it is just a list of names—names we don’t recognize and that we can’t pronounce. So why are they important? Because all of these people were everyday people just like we are, and God loves everyday pe

Even though we only read the first 3 verses of chapter 11, our passage tonight goes all the way through verse 26 of chapter 12. So what all is contained in this passage? It’s just another name list. It’s a list of plain, ordinary, everyday people. I don’t know anybody like that, do you? The ...read more

Talented People

Contributed by Daniel Austin on Dec 23, 2009

If you are not actively pursuing ways to advance God’s work, you are failing your master.

Talented People 01/29/06 AM Text: Matthew 25:14-25:30 Introduction America is seemingly fascinated with talented people. Take for example the show American Idol.

People Talking

Contributed by Fr Mund Cargill Thompson on Apr 8, 2010

The Easter story begins with people talking. How important is word of mouth?

"Returning from the tomb they told all this to the 12 and the rest". The Easter story begins with people talking: "You’ve got to hear this" "You’ll never believe it" "Listen up" "It’s just incredible- I’ve got to tell you about it" The Easter story begins with people talking. Mary Magdalene, ...read more

A People Of Blessing

Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Jan 17, 2011

God wants His people to be “A Blessed People.” Happily this blessing is not restricted in usage or potency to God’s ancient people but brings great joy, grace, and peace to Christians as well.

NUMBERS 6: 22-27 A PEOPLE OF BLESSING [2 Corinthians 13:14 / Ephesians 1:3] God wants His people to be “A Blessed People.” A blessing is God’s way of asking for His divine favor to rest upon others. This benediction before us is most beautiful. The ancient blessing evoked in ...read more

Desired By The People Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on May 4, 2017

As Jesus' ministry grew in popularity, He often was forced to minister in the outlying areas to accommodate the crowds that gathered. The church needs to capture this passion and desire to be in the presence of the Lord.

Desired by the People Mark 3: 7-12 The rapid pace we have become accustomed to in Mark’s Gospel continues. Jesus seldom stays in one place for extended periods of time. He is continually on the move, ministering to different people, with varied needs, in different places. Such is the case with ...read more

Rebuild The People Series

Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on May 7, 2017

Nehemiah took personal interest to rebuild the Broken Walls of the Jerusalem city as well as to rebuild God's people with good motives. He brought very silent revival among his community.

Nehemiah 1 Introduction Nehemiah(God Comforts), cup bearer, Jew. The Book of Nehemiah begins 15 years after Book of Ezra ends; almost 100 years after the first captives came back to Promised Land; and some 150 years after city of Jerusalem was destroyed. 1,000 years after Moses and 400 years ...read more

Toxic People

Contributed by Andy Grossman on Mar 24, 2018

A few thoughts on toxic people

“Toxic People” I’ve been thinking about a post I see a lot on Facebook about ‘toxic’ people. Something about it just didn’t set well with me. So I have given it some thought and prayer and here is what I came up with. First, I don’t want to be a ‘snowflake’. A snowflake has its own meaning ...read more

God, People, And .... Series

Contributed by Paul Clemente on Apr 16, 2018

Be alert of who you are, who God is, and the lurking devil.

We’re going to be looking at Exodus 7-8 today. I hope most of you read these chapters because we will not have time to read all of it this morning but will highlight passages. But before we learn from Exodus 7-8, let’s be reminded of who Pharaoh and the Egyptians were. Open your bibles to the ...read more

Be A Holy People! Series

Contributed by Paul Clemente on Sep 3, 2018

God called the Hebrews of old in the dessert to be holy and Christians are a Holy Priesthood!

Let us again remind ourselves of 2 Timothy 3:16-17.. All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. Whatever God says, it is useful for us (2 Timothy 3:16-17)! ...read more

Peculiar People

Contributed by Mike Bryant on Jun 8, 2021

Israel's desire for a king is used to illustrate the temptation we face to be more like the rest of the world. But even though the world's view of us often chafes, it is God's plan that we be conspicuously different.

I) After Moses brought the nation of Israel out of Egypt, they did not have a king for many years. A) Unlike the nations around them, they were led by men and women, judges, who were direct intermediaries between God and man. B) Early on, the people tried to make one of those judges, Gideon, into ...read more

A Peculiar People Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 29, 2021

The Reformers made it a major issue as they stressed the priesthood of all believers, but we still have not rid ourselves of the concept that the church is clergy centered.

Under the Roman system of slavery it was possible for an ambitious slave to gain his freedom. If he had a skill and was determined to work he could hire himself from his master for so much a day, and work for himself. If he was successful, he could accumulate enough savings to buy himself from ...read more

Ordinary People Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 3, 2021

Everybody in this book is ordinary. Obed, the baby who gives the book a happy ending, does not grow up to do anything of significance that we know of. There are no great battles, no miracles, and no profound theological statements in this book. Not one person in this book was above ordinary.

What woman do you know who has had a thousand men propose to her from fisherman to millionaires; from the penniless on the bowry to the prince of a royal European family? And who was still getting regular proposals after she was 70 years old? There was such a woman, and her name was Evangeline ...read more

The People In The Pews

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 3, 2022

Ezekiel is a interesting prophet. We can see from this passage of Scripture that he preached sermons that dealt with people where they lived.

I am sure that when Ezekiel got through preaching this sermon, there were not many standing at the back door telling him how much they enjoyed the sermon. This is why many will seek for a church where the Word of God is occasionally MENTIONED, but not PREACHED! For example, today it is not ...read more
