God has chose us; to reveal Jesus into our lives; as our Lord; who in turn reveals God the Father; to forward his divine purpose on, and then return us to him in heaven. Simple really.

A Today Only Offer

Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Aug 18, 2005

As important as the choice of vocation - education, even the choice of a mate may be, none of these are the greatest choice of all. Life’s greatest choice has to do with our relationship with God.

“the Arrest Of Jesus The Nazarene” Series

Contributed by Ron Tuit on Jun 13, 2016

After Jesus' High Priestly prayer, Jesus meets His Betrayer and His accusers in the Garden of Gethsemane and is arrested. There are similarities and contrasts in the Garden with an event in history concerning King David.

“The Arrest of Jesus the Nazarene” John 18:1-12 We have examined John 13-17 recently which is considered to be Jesus’ “Farewell Discourse”, occurring on the night which Jesus was arrested. Today we study John 18:1-4 with the arrest of Jesus: “When Jesus had ...read more

Jeremiah’s First Sermon Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Mar 29, 2023

Can you imagine the crowd that Jeremiah was preaching to as a 19-year-old. He is giving this message of harsh judgement to his dad and his dad’s priestly peers, not to mention the king.

Jeremiah was called as a prophet. We read this in Chapter one. He is told to fasten his belt around his garment, that is to say, roll up your sleeves and buckle your seatbelt for a turbulent ride. He is to stand up and speak up for God. As we look at Jeremiah’s first sermon there are a couple of ...read more

Psalm 110 Series

Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Mar 15, 2020

A rare conversation between two Lords - the LORD and the Lord. The enemies of the second Lord are to be put under his feet, and he is to be a high priest forever after the priestly order of Melchizedek. What is the order of Melchizedek?

For Sermon Central researchers: I have posted a series of 15 sermons on the Psalms.

What Are You Called For?

Contributed by Paul Fritz on May 17, 2007

If you take a poll you’ll find that most people think of callings and vocations solely in the context of consecrated religious lives, such as pastors, teachers, missionaries and the like. And that’s tragic, because all people are called by their

What Did God Call You For? (I Pet 2:20) Does God really call people to serve Him in particular ways? Who does God call, and how do they know? Could God be calling me to serve Him? Anybody receiving the Gospel’s message will at least wonder about these things; and it’s natural to bring them to ...read more

Identity 1– Created For Relationship Genesis 2 Series

Contributed by Joseph Rodgers on Apr 11, 2019

Who we are isn’t defined by our vocation or our successes, fears, or failures – our identity is so much more than these things. As Christ-followers, who we are, is determined by our spiritual birth.

If I were to ask – Who’s Billy Graham? Most would say – BG was a great evangelist. And that’d be correct. But would it answer my question? No. B/c being an evangelist isn’t who BG is – it is what he used to do. If the totality of BG’s identity is found in being an evangelist, then who is he now ...read more

Comparision - Toxic To The Soul

Contributed by Joey Nelson on Nov 25, 2003

There is something that is toxic to the soul (to use a phrase by Dr. Andrew McQuitty, pastor of Irving Bible Church) to Christians and non-Christians alike, to those in professional fields and to those in agricultural vocations. It’s called COMPARISION.

INTRODUCTION Opening Statement: Have you ever asked the question “Why me?” You’ve done your best but your best never seems to be good enough. You’ve worked just as hard, paid just as many dues, slogged through just as many valleys and hard places, as the other guy, yet you never seem to be able to ...read more

“How the gold has grown dim, how the pure gold is changed!

The Provocative Entry

Contributed by Byron Perrine on Jul 9, 2019

Palm Sunday helps us correctly understand humility in relationship to others, and Christian vocation in relationship to God. The following discourse is based upon one of the first sermons I preached, a “Palm Sunday” sermon given many years ago.

(If you have found this sermon helpful, please visit us at www.HeritageRestorationProject.org or www.ChristianWisdom.info) There are very many New Testament scriptural admonitions to humility; for example, Paul writes: “By the grace given to me I bid everyone among you not to think of himself more ...read more
