Sermons on Protestant Faith:

His Faithfulness

Contributed by John Kapteyn on Oct 18, 2000

We look at the fruit of faithfulness and see how this characteristic of God becomes a powerful witness to the fact that God is real and He is in us.

Introductory Considerations 1. Few years ago held special service to try and reach those outside the church. One of highlights was this song. Words come from a person outside church looking for something. Ev’ry night I say a prayer, In the hopes that there’s a Heaven, But ev’ry day I’m more ...read more

Faith & Works

Contributed by John Stevenson on Oct 18, 2000

I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul.

I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul. So go the words of W. E. Henley in his well-known Invictus.

The Reward Of Faithfulness

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Aug 12, 2002

The parable of the talents has more importance than we often understand. We used this sermon as a way of introducing gift centered ministries.

OPEN: We use numbers all the time without knowing their significance or their meaning. For example: How many feet in a mile (5280 feet). Do you know why? The term mile come from the Latin word "mille" - meaning 1000. To the Romans it was the distance a soldier could cover in 1000 paces - about ...read more

The Obedience Of Faith

Contributed by Scott Coltrain on Sep 5, 2002

Can mere belief in God and the truths of His Word win the Lord’s approval and blessings? To the contrary, the Scriptures plainly teach that only a faith that leads to obedience to God wins approval and reward.

When one reads the Letter to the Romans and then reads the Letter of James, there may appear to be a contradiction. Romans 4:1-6 clearly teaches that we are justified by faith apart from works. However, James 2:24 says that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone. Martin Luther saw ...read more
