    Living With One Foot In Eternity Series

     | 12,241 views

    In Paul's "to live is Christ, to die is gain," we learn a new boldness, a singlemindedness, and a fearless approach to death when God brings it. We can serve God fully with yearning expectation for the life to come.

    Philippians 1:21-26 Living with One Foot in Eternity Over the next four weeks, we’ll look at the tiny New Testament book of Philippians. It’s actually a letter the Apostle Paul wrote around 61 AD to the church in Philippi. Paul wrote from prison in Rome, probably during his first imprisonment, ...read more

    If you live for Christ, opposition will come.

    JUN 2 2013PM Preaching to a Heathen and Superstitious People Acts 14:8-20 There was a preacher who was an avid golfer. Every chance he got, he could be found on the golf course. It was his obsession. One Sunday was a picture-perfect day for golf. The sun was out, no clouds in the sky, and the ...read more

    A Godly Mother’s Dream

    Contributed by Mark Opperman on Jan 14, 2014
     | 5,834 views

    What would be a Godly mother’s dream for her family / kids? 1. God’s will. 2. Know and love the Lord. 3. Be people of integrity. 4. Learn from their failures. 5. Live beyond themselves. 6. Pass their faith on.

    A Godly Mother’s Dream There are some great portraits of motherhood in Scripture. I love the picture of the mother of Moses who cared so much for her son that she broke the law in order to teach him the faith of his people. We see the sacrificial love of the mother who appeared before ...read more

    We should worship with JOY, and our worship should have an impact on our lives.

    Two young boys were walking down the street in downtown Atlanta when out from an alley a Pit Bull suddenly appeared and attacked one of the boys. The other boy grabbed a 2x4 lying near the alley and beat the dog to death and saved his friend’s life. A reporter from the Atlanta Journal and ...read more

    Contributed by Matthew Morine on Mar 3, 2008

     | 5,023 views

    Tired of the church being more like a Country Club than the Body of Christ. Here is a 1st century conflict that parallels a 21st Century conflict. This sermon will help the congregation break the mold of this false vision for a Church.

    COUNTRY CLUB TO CHURCH: THE MISSION THEME: FUNCTIONING AS A CHURCH WITH THE OUTSIDER IN MIND. TEXT: ACTS 15:1-11 While I was at Hartsville Pike church of Christ, one of the church members invited me along on a weekday morning to pay golf at the private Gaylord Springs Country club. Rick ...read more

    Our life for Christ is in many ways required to closely parallel that of a soldier who is committed to his calling in discipline, obedience and loyalty.

    It was indeed a moving ceremony to witness the graduation of recruits as they are recognized as Marines! The new Marines were thrown together, to live together, enduring together, tolerating each other, supporting each other, working together and striving to that day when they are finally ...read more

    Heart Transplant

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 13, 2012
    based on 4 ratings
     | 21,319 views

    What indicates the need for a new heart? As sinners, all of us need a new heart. Have you had a spiritual heart transplant? God’s Spirit will circumcise unbelieving hearts and give a heart that loves God, desires to obey Him and has the power to obey Him.

    Opening illustration: A friend who is a heart transplant cardiologist has an appreciation of Ezekiel 36: 26 that not many of us can understand. Dr. Mohan was one of the top Christian heart-transplant surgeons. He’s often in the operating room as he removes diseased, discolored hearts and replaced ...read more

    Christianity has an image problem. What can we learn from how those outside the church see the church today. I use Jesus criticism of religious leaders to cause us to think.

    I have used sermoncentral along with other resources in this message. James White’s Critical Times email was a starting point. I also referred to Kinnaman’s book. LISTENING TO UnCHRISTIAN AMERICA October 28, 2007 Jay Davis Robison MATTHEW 15:1-12 The Church in America HAS AN IMAGE ...read more

    The church belongs to Jesus Christ, and He is currently working to build it.

    Introduction: A Church Is Not An Audience A sharp distinction ought to be made between a church and an audience. · An audience is a group of unrelated people drawn together by a short-lived attraction. A church is a group of born again believers drawn together by a Savior. · An audience is a ...read more

    Are you satisfied by an ordinary life or hungry for God?

    An appetite for godliness “What does God expect of me?” “How should a Christian act under pressure?” “Am I pleasing the Lord and honoring Him?” Answers to these questions can be found throughout the Bible, but there is one section of the Word, where Jesus Himself answers these questions and ...read more

    This sermon can be done as a drama with Onesimus as the speaker. You can use a copy of Philemon as prop and use it to read the sections of the letter if you don’t have time to memorize them.

    Good Morning! What a beautiful day it is down here on the docks. I hope you are going on an exciting journey. I know I am. I am headed to Colossae with Tychicus over there. We are going to deliver a letter from an incredible guy named Paul to the Colossian church. Then, I have a letter to ...read more

    The message deals with patience in the face of suffering and how belieders react and act.

    "Suffering Patiently" James 5:7-11 Introduction We are looking at a passage today that has two words I personally would prefer to avoid. One word is suffering and the other is patience. These are not my favorite topics but they are very real to life. All of us will suffer to a degree or ...read more

    For deacon ordination: God has provided the wide door through which all may come, but also the narrow gate that calls for discipline and setting boundaries.

    We seem to be fast coming to the place where we will scarcely have to deal with people at all. We can just deal with computer-driven machines to get what we want. I frankly cannot remember when I have dealt with a bank teller. I just roll up to an Automatic Teller Machine, punch in a few numbers, ...read more

    Forever exists for believers to enjoy God. Forever exists in order for time to be erased. Forever is for God to put Himself on display.

    Galatians 5:16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. 18 But if ye be led of the ...read more
