    This is taken from an existing Sermon on Sermon Central, i just added some illustrations and tailored it to a series we are doing on the purpose driven life. The sermon looks at the 5 primary ways to please God.

For those of you that preach, I know I have had to only come up with 3 so far, but tonight I would like to take you into the world Noah. Whole sermon is almost an illustration.

     | 2,951 views

    Certainly "Power comes through Prayer," but the purpose of this message is to convey what was so powerful about "Peter’s message" on the day of Pentecost. Why would three thousand souls repent and come to Christ?

    A Prophet is Coming! Moses was old and the Children of Israel were concerned with who was going to replace him. The immediate answer would be Joshua. But Moses also mentioned that a "Prophet would arise from among them." He was speaking of Christ. (Deu 18:15) The LORD thy God will raise up ...read more

    The 3 Hebrew children took a stand for God, Who didn’t save them FROM the fire, but saved them IN the fire. God has a purpose for every fiery trial that we go through.

    Ignorance about your identity is bad, the day you know who you are in Christ is the day you have won the greatest battle.Therefore, if your purpose for living is discovered life has meaning.

That is why we pray that prayer that God should arise and attack our ignorance, open our eyes and remove ignorance from our ...read more
