    Andrew: Bringing Men To Christ

    Contributed by John Gaston on Feb 23, 2022
     | 3,103 views

    In Church history, St. Peter is everything and Andrew is nothing, but would there ever have been an apostle Peter without an Andrew? Andrew is a great example for us to follow to be witnesses for Jesus!

    ANDREW: BRINGING MEN TO CHRIST John 1:35-42 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Jim Dunn was serving as the pastor of the First Baptist Church, and his wife, Gladys, was very friendly and welcoming to people. One particular Sunday when the sermon seemed to go on forever, many in the congregation fell ...read more

    Avoiding Spiritual Blindness

    Contributed by Troy Borst on Apr 30, 2016
     | 10,335 views

    Today, as we begin to look at 2 Peter, the Apostle Peter talks about our spiritual lives as authentic believers in Jesus Christ in physical terms using our eyes.

    AVOIDING SPIRITUAL BLINDNESS 2 PETER 1:1-11 #SpBlind INTRODUCTION… Spiritual in Terms of the Physical (p) Human beings are unique in all of creation in that we are made up of two distinct parts. Human beings, like all living things, have a body. We have flesh and bone and blood which are ...read more

    #62 Two Rocks Series

    Contributed by Chuck Sligh on Feb 13, 2022
     | 2,941 views

    In the story of Jesus being brought to His Jewish trial, Mark portrays two “rocks” – Jesus the solid rock and Peter, the “cracked rock.” This sermon contrasts the steadfastness of Jesus to Peter’s denials and challenges us to think about what these two examples teach us in our lives personally.

    #62 Two Rocks Series: Mark Chuck Sligh February 13, 2022 NOTE: A PowerPoint presentation is available for this sermon by request at chucksligh@hotmail.com.

    We Are The Church

    Explores the four images of church/Christians in 1 Peter 2: infants, living stones, priests, chosen people.

    Lectionary Texts for 5th Sunday of Easter - April 21, 2002 "We Are The Church" - 1 Peter 2:2-10; John 14:1-14 [Okay-say it with me…]"Here is the church, here is the steeple, open the doors, and see all the people."

    Do The Small Thing To Show The Main Thing

    Contributed by J Jeffrey Smead on Apr 13, 2016
    based on 48 ratings
     | 32,690 views

    What is servant evangelism: It is demonstrating the kindness of God The Love God by offering to do some act of humble service with no strings attached. Do the small thing to show the main thing -- God's Love.

    For those who are not familiar with an Anglican Service there are four Scripture readings prior to the Message. Today's assigned readings are: Acts 9:36-43; Psalm 23; Revelation 7:9-17 and John 10:22-30. How where you named? Where you named after someone; maybe someone in your family ...read more

    Sermon # 50 - Prayer And God's Timing Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Sep 5, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 178 views

    Every prayer that is offered to God is taken note of and God will answer our prayers in His time and in His own way. Cornelius and Peter are great examples of the amazing ways in which God answers prayers. Let’s pray without ceasing knowing that the answer is one the way.

    For today’s meditation let us read, Acts 10:19-20, Peter was still trying to understand what the vision meant, when the Spirit said, "Listen! Three men are here looking for you. So get ready and go down, and do not hesitate to go with them, for I have sent them." (GNB) We are going to ...read more

    The Twelve Apostles: Jesus’ Crew Of Ordinary Dudes (Matthew 10:1-4)

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Feb 18, 2025
     | 321 views

    Matthew 10 begins with the names of the twelve ordinary men whom Jesus chose to be His disciples. We start with Simon Peter.

    In this chapter, we are introduced to the twelve men who will carry out the message of Jesus to the nation of Israel and inevitably to the world. None of them were scholars or religious officials. They were twelve ordinary men, some of whom were fishermen by trade and probably knew each other ...read more

    Journey From Death To Life (Part 2) Series

    Contributed by Brian Williams on Mar 28, 2023
     | 1,010 views

    Peter’s brokenness taught him a great lesson about the Lord’s love, faithfulness, forgiveness, and acceptance. Peter had his own journey from death to life. He realized he could not follow Jesus in his own strength. This realization kept him humble and dependent on Jesus.

    Last Sunday we spoke about Jesus in the Valley of Kidron, then in the Garden of Gethsemane, and how the whole time He was in God’s will in His journey from death to life. We are coming to the end of Jesus’ earthly journey in the book of John and can see that these last few hours would be the most ...read more

    "If The Church Would Just Pray"

    based on 334 ratings
     | 87,951 views

    When Peter was in prison, awaiting what appeared to be a sure execution, the church prayed without ceasing for him and Peter was set free by an angel of the Lord. Powerful things happen the church prays.

    In the text, we find something taking place that seems to be missing in many churches today – that is church folk praying for church folk. In this particular case, a church member in trouble. The Apostle Peter is on death roll and all petitions to commute his sentence have been exhausted. ...read more

    Can you relate to Peter’s overconfidence that led to failure? Let’s find some red flags so we can eliminate some opportunities in our lives to fall.

    Tell your neighbor, “My God knows!” Look to you other neighbor and tell them, “My God knows all about my sins.” Tell the person behind you, “My God knows all about my sins, and He has forgiven me and loves me.” If you don’t hear anything else today, hear that!

    Realationship Series

    Contributed by Paul Newell on Dec 4, 2006
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,324 views

    Discovering the REAL Christmas begins with REALationship. Though Simon Peter does not meet the Christ Child until thirty years after his birth, Peter is still a powerful illustration of REALationship.

    Pretend Santas, imitation smells, counterfeit presents, simulated smiles, artificial trees, fake snow...how is it that we’ve turned the Christmas season into everything but something real? It appears to me that most of what is foisted upon us during the holiday’s is anything but real. As we prepare ...read more

    Don't Deny Gravity - It Hurts! Series

    Contributed by Tim May on Apr 26, 2015
     | 4,789 views

    Peter and John looked the religious leaders in the eyes, which truth would actually be heard? Peter and John were determined to make sure it would be their truth that would stand the test of time.

    INTRODUCTION: We had been out in the field for about a week moving from one position to another. This time we had stopped for a short rest. It was late in the morning, probably around 2am so I was standing around with several Marines when one of them asked, “Hey Chaps do you believe in ...read more

    Cut The Rope.

    Contributed by Howard Strickland on May 19, 2021
     | 4,069 views

    Peter’s water-walking-skills, (actually his faith), convinced the other disciples that Jesus was the Son of God! Wow, your faith will convince others—Faith is contagious—its catching!

    Cut The Rope. Matthew 14:24-33NKJV In 1853, America hosted its first Worlds Fair in New York City. The organizers built a beautiful exhibition Hall called the Crystal Palace. This is where the latest and greatest inventions were showcased. This is also where a man named Elisha Otis pulled off ...read more

    Shame will keep us from living out what Jesus has called us to do. Walk with Jesus and Simon Peter to see Jesus recommission Peter to work in the Kingdom of God.

    Recommissioned (John 21:15-19) Intro: A. I want to share some quick highlights in the life the Apostle Peter. He gets his name after his brother brings him to Jesus down in Judea when they were following John the Baptist, but he gets his commission up in Galilee after Jesus preaches to a crowd ...read more

    The healing of the crippled man showed that Peter and John believe in the presence of Christ, His power and the authority of His Name.

    Acts 3:1-8, 12-16 - The Living Christ What Peter and John did was remarkable and out-of-the-ordinary. Their actions tell us at least THREE realities: (1) They believe that Christ has risen and is with them. No one would invoke the name of a dead man and expect something to happen. (2) They ...read more
