Sermons on Perfection:

When God Gives His Gift...

Contributed by Efren V. Narido on Dec 23, 2007

Could we afford to reject God’s Gift? Why? Because it is not so desirable? Is it because of our so-called freedom of choice? And our freedom of choice to reject is "powerful" than our human will to choose what attracts us?

“The Spirit and the bride say, ‘Come!’ And let him who hears say, ‘Come!’ Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life” (Revelation 22:17). What is this “free gift of the water of life”? And why would others refuse or reject it? Is it ...read more

Christ Gifted His Church

Contributed by Paul Gauntt on Jun 1, 2006

As children of God and members of the Body of Christ, we are basically clueless as to the awesome power which has been vested in Christ’s New Testament Church, through His gifts working through us.

Minichurch

Contributed by Nate Herbst on Oct 18, 2009

This message is for all the smaller ministries and churches out there: I hope it encourages you to know small is not a bad thing when it comes to church and ministry - God is more interested in testimonies than attendance.

 A great example of that is the story of Gideon. 
 Judges 6-8 The Midianites oppress Israel for 7 years. God tells Gideon that He will use him to defeat the Midianites. Gideon is scared and doubtful ...read more
