     | 5,356 views

    How can believers demonstrate to nonbelievers that the message of the Christian faith is relevant?

    In his book, Intellectuals Don’t Need God and Other Modern Myths (Page 73), theologian Alister McGrath tells about his friend’s stamp collecting hobby.

    Sermon describes the importance of knowing and proclaiming the truth of heaven. Some wonderous characteristics of heaven are also explained.

    HEAVEN IS REAL! In Christian circles we sometimes operate the opposite of the way Jesus did. For example, Jesus hard on the self-righteous, and gentle with sinners. He encountered a rich young man, who asked him how he might please God. Jesus told him to obey the commands. The young man lists ...read more

    Jesus doesn’t invite us to practice a religion, but to participate in a relationship.

    In this series, we want unbelievers to understand that Christianity is not a religion. The way of religion is about impersonal rules, while the way of Christ is about a personal relationship with God. But we also want believers to understand that Christianity is not designed to be lived as a ...read more

    Relationship with Jesus leads to real change, as it did for Zacchaeus (Luke 19:1-10)

    There are a lot of places the preacher can go with this text, and I suspect many of the hearers and readers will have been exposed to most of them. One of the traditional, and absolutely valid and true, expositions includes Jesus’ choice to minister to those who were outsiders. Tax ...read more

    What does the word “fellowship” bring to your mind? Do you think of coffee or fried chicken or church socials? Paul had a wonderful fellowship with the Philippian church that didn’t have anything to do with any of those.

    I love our times of fellowship, don’t you? We joke all the time about how much Baptists love to eat, but I think that one of the reasons we like to eat so much is because of the fellowship that goes along with it. Those times are wonderful and I wouldn’t trade anything in the world ...read more

    Don’t pretend to be better than you really are. You could end up worse than you were; and besides, you don’t have to fake it to make it with God.

    A cowboy walked into a Texas bar, ordered three bottles of beer, and sat in the back room, drinking a sip out of each one in turn. When he finished them, he came back to the bar and ordered three more. The bartender told the cowboy, "You know, a bottle goes flat after I open it. It would taste ...read more
