    Contributed by Bishop William Bryant Wilmore, Jr. on Jul 15, 2003
    based on 374 ratings
     | 178,451 views

    If we take a personal inventory of the blessings of God we have recieved since we were born, we will say that "Down through the years, the Lord has been good to us."

    25)I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. The opening words of this verse, in Psalm 37, could have been written by any of us - for they speak a truth that each of us knows all too well. “I have been young and now I’m old.” ...read more

    I love hearing people share their personal testimony. This message unveils the testimony of the Apostle Paul. Before he was saved, when he got saved, and since he got saved.

    “THE MAN OF GOD WHO LOST HIS RELIGION” “THE PERSONAL TESTIMONY OF THE APOSTLE PAUL” Before Paul was saved… Religion 1. He was trusting in religious ceremony. “circumcised” He had been circumcised. Many people are trusting in their infant baptism or some other ceremony performed by their ...read more

    Personal testimonies; showing we never know when, so it would behoove us to get right - right now! Sunday evening service that proved to be very powerful within the congregation!

    We have all heard many people in our lives give their personal testimonies. Some were delivered out of a life of drugs; some out of the occult; some out of lust; and yet others right out of the gates of hell themselves. Tonight, we are going to be talking a lot about these testimonies. You will ...read more

    "Cutting Himself With Stones..." By Dr. Winson Butler

    based on 11 ratings
     | 3,180 views

    The person who really wants to do something finds a way, all others an excuse. Not so with the the encounter of Jesus with the sad soul who lived in the tombs. Let’s examine it together!

    INTRODUCTION Mark 5 has been appropriately called the Bible home for the incurables. Three cases, absolutely, humanly speaking, incurable. The demonic man, The diseased woman and The dead girl. All three have been seen as hopeless. If they lived in our world today, one would be sent to a mental ...read more

    The Epiphany, Jan. 6th is about God’s revelation of himself in flesh in the person of Jesus to the Magi. The sermon deals with "reactions" to the baby Jesus and the adult Jesus, his words and resurrection.

    When people see us “make allowance for each other’s faults and forgive the person who offends {us}” (Colossians 3:13) then and only then will they conclude we are followers of Jesus.

    Wakeup call at our house – a ritual! First call – “Time to get up and get ready.” Fifteen minutes later – “Come on get out of bed! We have to go soon!” Then in frustration and desperation Glenys pulls the blankets back and hollers, “DALE, it’s time to get up! We leave in an hour!” You thought it ...read more

    This sermon originally was prepared for a funeral homily for a person whose commitment to Jesus was uncertain, it could be used in any funeral setting or as a evangelistic message. It clearly outlines Go’s plan of salvation.

    Prepare to Meet Your God, a Funeral Homily --Amos 4:12 In times such as these when we loose a loved one to death we are reminded of our own mortality. Hebrews 9:27 calls upon us to remember the certain fact “. . . it is appointed for mortals to die once, and after that the judgment. . . .” My ...read more

    Ever meet cheap rich people? Ever wanted to be more giving and kind than they were? The first step is to admit that you are rich, than you will act like a rich person.

    We all need to have vision in our lives. We need to have vision for ourselves personally. But, just as importantly, we need to have vision for ourselves collectively as a congregation.

    History books often refer to World War I as “The war to end all wars.” We all know how untrue that is. There was of course World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq twice plus numerous other skirmishes that our troops have been involved in. That doesn’t even begin to mention the ...read more

     | 14,356 views

    I do personally believe that the greatest thing that holds people back from following Jesus, and that so often holds us back from truly giving ourselves to Him, is fear.

    Those of you who tune in regularly to my online forum will know that there’s been a lot of discussion lately about Christopher Hitchens’ new book, "God is Not Great - how religion poisons everything". The publishers, Allen and Unwin, had sent me a review copy that I passed on to someone else on ...read more

    This is a personal message preached on Dr. king’s Sunday, in which I challenge us, especially African Americans as to recapture the dream by going back up the mountain to see the promised land.

    Dr. King Reflections by Rick Gillespie- Mobley Go Back To The Mountaintop Deuteronomy 34:1-12 Ephesians 6:10-18 Martin Luther King Jr. was first and foremost a preacher of the gospel.

    This is part II in the series 24. It is a first person narrative from the perspective of Mark. The preaching idea: Prayer isn’t always a garden of serenity; sometimes it’s a wrestling mat.

    In case you weren’t with us last week, we’ve begun a brand new series of sermons entitled 24, based on the last 24 hours of Jesus Christ. What makes this particular series of sermons so unique is that I will be sharing from the perspective of characters present during the events. These story-like ...read more

    “Being a neighbor is not necessarily defined by seeking out those who need help, but rather it is becoming a person who is able to reach beyond themselves to help someone get back on track.”

    “The Unlikely Hero” I want to share a story about a man by the name of Karl Marx. (Has anyone here ever heard of him?) He is known as the father of Communism. He had one agenda and one agenda only and that was for communism to replace capitalism. Let me explain. Today, in ...read more
