    "Hineni Shelacheni” — Send Me

     | 821 views

    This variety in responses mirrors how we approach God’s call in our lives. Just as our greetings reflect our readiness to engage, the way we respond to God's call—much like Isaiah did—reveals our willingness to serve and our openness to His divine purpose for us.

    Introduction: Hello, everyone. Different cultures have unique ways of answering the phone, reflecting their values and traditions. For instance: Graham Bell’s invention is greeted with a simple “Ahoy” in English. Russians respond, “I’m listening.” The French ask, “Who is on the phone?” Italians ...read more

    Hearing From the Lord is a decision that believers must learn early.

    Hearing from the Father Joshua 24 Introduction- Good morning church! I need to hear from my heavenly Father! Amen! I need to know that I am not alone in the things that I go through!

    "staying Connected"

    Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Apr 29, 2021
     | 6,753 views

    In order to imitate Jesus, demonstrate love, joy, etc we must "stay connected" to the Vine. I begin with a story of Oskar Schindler about connections. Through prayer, worship and the reading of God's word, listening to His voice will produce good deeds.

    In Jesus Holy Name May 1, 2021 Text: John 15:1-8 Easter V Redeemer “Staying Connected” It helps to have connections. Everybody knows it’s true. It’s not what you know, the cynic says, but WHO you know that makes a difference. In 1982 there was a wonderful book which was ...read more

    Give Thanks? Maybe? What Do I Know?

    Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Nov 17, 2018
     | 4,031 views

    It is easy to forget to give thanks when things are going wrong. There is a beautiful story of the king's son that had a bad attitude. We may see through the fog, but God has a plan.

    GIVE THANKS? MAYBE? WHAT DO I KNOW? By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com HAVE YOU EVER FORGOT WHAT YOU KNOW? SPIRITUALLY, I THINK IT IS SO EASY TO FORGET WHAT YOU KNOW… One day when I was young I ran out of gas. It was before the cell phone. I sat and wondered what am I going ...read more

    Hail That Will Get Your Attention Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 9,679 views

    The Bible talks about three types of listeners: active, passive, and forgetful. Only one leads to blessing and life, so it is imperative it is the type of listening we do.

    Introduction There is a Peanuts comic strip where Peppermint Patty and her friend are walking to school. Peppermint Patty says, “I think I’m going to ask to be Mary in the Christmas pageant.” Her friend replies, “The teacher already asked me.” Patty says, “I think I’m going to ask today.” “She ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,658 views

    Are you going to take the effort to listen to God? How has your faith panned out for God? Will you step out even when God tests your faith by making the most difficult sacrifices in your life? Do you obey God at every level?

    Opening Illustration: Narrate the story of our call to the USA as missionaries. Introduction: The Lord's call for Abram to journey to the Promised Land is often equated with a call to missionary service. For the missionary, there is a sense where God has called them from the ease and security of ...read more

    The Transforming Power Of Bloopers

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Mar 7, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,024 views

    The Holy Spirit gives a transfigured person power to do what he or she could not do before. Authority stood on the mountaintop. The same authority and light guides us through and out of whatever wilderness we may be in, whatever horror we face.

    Many of you may remember a TV show called "TV's Bloopers and Practical Jokes". Well my friends, bloopers have never been limited to television shows. In fact, some of the funniest bloopers have appeared in church bulletins. For example: 1. Barbara remains in the hospital and needs blood donors for ...read more

    The Easter story tells us that 1) God keeps his promises, 2) God brings a fresh start, and 3) God speaks to those who listen.

    Matthew 28:1-10 A Fresh Start Today over a billion people will celebrate Easter, and not just with Easter eggs and chocolate bunnies and big buffet dinners, as wonderful as all those things are.

     | 6,187 views

    David and Nabal I Samuel 25:4-13 Hospitality This Middle Eastern cultural practice of “hospitality” is what saved the life of Marcus Lattrell. Jesus challenges Simon with a failure to keep a well-known Middle Eastern cultural practice. Luke 7:44-48

    Just Do It!

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Sep 5, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,444 views

    Let’s not just learn what God says. Let’s Just Do it! You haven't really learned the Word until you live the Word. We often are hearers of the Word and not doers. We learn and teach God’s Word more than obeying it ourselves.

    Opening illustration: A church had a new pastor who preached the same sermon every Sunday. When people started complaining, he told the congregation, “I’ll preach a new sermon when you act on this one.” That pastor’s statement reminds me of the words of the apostle James: ...read more

    Don't Just Do Something - Sit There

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jan 12, 2021
    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,191 views

    Sometimes we need to get alone, be still, and listen to God. Then other times we need to put ACTION to our prayers.

    If I asked you what your favorite part of the Sunday morning worship is, I would probably get answers like, “I like the song service, I like the special music, I like the prayer time, and so on. One pastor actually asked some of his congregation that question and one person said it was the prelude ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 6,134 views

    How would you respond if God called your name not once, but twice? In the Bible, God calls plenty of people often by name, but I’ve only found seven times where God calls out someone’s name twice in a row. In each instance, what follows is a life-changing encounter with the God of creation.

    When God Calls Your Name… Twice: Martha Scott Bayles, pastor Blooming Grove Christian Church: 8/21/2016 For the last few of weeks, we’ve been talking about how you might respond if God called your name—not just once, but twice. As I mentioned before, God calls plenty of people in the Bible often ...read more

    Shema!

    Contributed by Charles Mallory on May 8, 2025
     | 455 views

    "Shema" means to listen! Jesus said that His sheep are listening in order to hear His voice! We must listen to, obey, and follow Jesus every single day...always.

    THE CENTRAL PRAYER OF JUDAISM IS CALLED “SHEMA” AND CAN BE FOUND IN DEUTERONOMY 6:4-9, THAT STATES, “HEAR, O ISRAEL: THE LORD OUR GOD, THE LORD IS ONE.
