    My first sermon was certainly no model for Christian preaching. However, Peter’s first sermon presents a model that should characterize all Christian preaching today. Notice the elements in the first Christian sermon. There was explanation, exposition,

    THE FIRST CHRISTIAN SERMON Acts 2:14-47 I remember my very first sermon. It was on Easter Sunday evening in 1961. For some years I had been wrestling with the call to preach the gospel.

    In our text from Acts 18 I see the responsibility of evangelism. 1- We must preach Christ even though we are tentmakers 2- We must continue to preach until people stop listening

    Guilt is a terrible motivator, because it works from the outside in. But grace works from the inside out. If you want to increase giving in your church, don't preach about tithing. Preach the gospel.

But I preach on tithing for another reason because I want (2) I want the blessings of God on your life not God’s curse. Many of us if not all ...read more
