Sermons on Poor Preaching:

Singing In The Rain…

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 27, 2025

I want to preach a sermon titled after a very popular song called, “Singing in the Rain.”

The words of this song “Singing in The Rain…” come from a famous song sung by Donald O’ Conner.

The Church Mission

Contributed by Kelvin Mckisic on Mar 10, 2024

The church is failing in its mission to preach and teach the Gospel to every nation, people, and tongue as Jesus commanded, because we are busy preaching feel-good prosperity-based messages.

And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; ...read more

Blessed Are Those Who Mourn Series

Contributed by Frank Lay on Oct 12, 2004

The first step of a blessed life is the recognition that we are poor in spirit, that we have a deep need in our lives, a need caused by our sin. The second step is to mourn over our sin.

BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO MOURN Matthew 5:4 The first beatitude confronted us with our deep need. "Blessed are the poor in spirit."

If the gospel is only successful among one stratum of society, it loses its punch. But if the gospel assembles people from both sides of the track (rich and poor), there is an intrigue to the gospel.

Jesus kept the wrong company. In the later decades of the nineteenth century, Hell’s Half-Acre was known as the red-light district of Fort Worth. While the area was cleared in the 1960s for the Tarrant County Convention Center, it was, as the name suggests, a rough and rowdy district. In the ...read more
