    Body Building

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Mar 27, 2009
    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,233 views

    Did you know that God has a building code? Christ will inspect our buildings using the ultimate test - the fire of His holiness. I am challenging each individual in the ’Body of Christ’ today to prepare for a building inspection. If we ignore God’s codes

    Opening illustration: We must use the right building materials if we want our ministries to stand in the day of His visitation. Every state in this country has strict building codes. You can’t just buy a piece of land and throw up a structure any way you choose. Local governments have standards ...read more

    We have been invited to the wedding that will end all weddings. Are we ready to be a guest? Are we ready to be the bride?

    “Are you ready for the wedding?” As you think of all the people involved with a typical wedding consider the different ways that they might answer that question. The bride would have one answer and the groom another. Friends of the bride and groom would answer differently depending on their part ...read more

    The first in a series of messages on Matthew 24 & 25, this message focuses on understanding that Matthew 24 is primarily pointing to the destruction of Jerusalem and warning us not to waste time predicting the time of Christ’s return. Rather, be prepared at all times.

    Because Jesus Is Returning . . . "Understanding Matthew 24" You can’t read the article that appeared in the Atlanta Journal, June 5, 1997 without some remorse and sympathy for Clarence Jackson. "The clock struck midnight and Clarence Jackson didn’t turn into a millionaire." Jackson, who is 24, ...read more

    This message and those that follow it are born out of study that I have been doing in preparation for a book that I will be writing in the coming months. Abram is one of the most colorful personalities in the Bible. I have often been intrigued with God’

    What Stands In The Way?

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 22, 2004
    based on 49 ratings
     | 5,317 views

    For Ascension Sunday; and in preparation for my retirement as pastor. What stands in our way? Exhaustion? Gather all, gather the marginalized, and pray. Planless? Remember our core values and do them. Lack of urgency? We are accountable to God.

    When a leader and those he leads part company, we learn a whole lot about both of them. Their true values become apparent. The things they are really about become clear. There is no more game-playing when it is time for a leader and those he leads to part company. Sometimes they separate ...read more

    To prepare Israel for what God had in store for them, He dramatically showed them how to accomplish great things for His Name’s sake. This ancient battle scene provides a pattern for attempting great things for God.

    1. The first step for attempting great things for God is to be clearly called by God 2. The second step for attempting great things for God is to be openly dependent upon God 3. The third step for attempting great things for God is to be consistently unified toward God 4. The fourth step for ...read more

    A short homily given at a mid-week communion service. We need to be ready in advance for the changes which will come our way. Jesus prepared the disciples for his departure with the promise of the Spirit. The same Holy Spirit lives in us.

    This message describes those prepared for Christ’s coming and those who were not. The religious crowd is indifferent. The leaders are worried. A widow is watching and an old man is waiting. Magi are wandering and worshipping. Which one describes you?

    Don’t miss Christmas (portions of this sermon are borrowed from illustrations and sermons on Sermon Central) Christmas time is a time filled with traditions. There is the time to get a Christmas tree and put it up along with the decorations. There are presents to buy, so there is shopping to do ...read more
