    The Meaning Of Baptism

    Contributed by Bill Huffhine on May 27, 2004
    based on 154 ratings
     | 10,997 views

    Understanding the true meaning of Christian baptism through an examination of the Jewish ritual of proselyte baptism.

    One of the greatest joys that I have as a pastor is when an individual who is far from God visits our community of believers, begins to hear the voice of God calling them to a higher place, a fresh beginning, a new life, and that person responds to the call of God by committing their life to ...read more

    When we give our lives to Christ, His family becomes our family.

    A Messiah Who Understands the True Family Text: Matt. 12:46-50 Introduction 1. Illustration: Rudyard Kipling once wrote about families, "all of us are we--and everyone else is they." A family shares things like dreams, hopes, possessions, memories, smiles, frowns, and gladness...A family is a ...read more

    Christmas Story Was In Unimpressive Surroundings - Yet A Spectacular Event

    Contributed by Tim Baker on Dec 19, 2017
     | 5,259 views

    The birth of Christ was in an unimpressive city, with an unimpressive birthing room, with an unimpressive crib, with unimpressive visitors, for the most impressive event in human history. Why did Jesus start with such humble beginnings?

    The purpose of outreach is to take the God of the church into the community.

    (To the reader – this sermon was begun while I was inside an appliance box.) The theme of the most recent issue of YMI Update, our national youth ministry leadership newsletter, was "Out of the Box."

    The first of a four part series entitled, ‘Four Resolutions for 2008’

    For this sermon series there is a temporary change in the public reading of scripture. I am appreciative of our worship leaders who read the main sermon text each week. (Even when they have those hard to pronounce Old Testament words in them!) (Slide 1) The reason for this change is that we are ...read more

    Issachar And Zebulun Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Apr 3, 2022
     | 3,847 views

    The sages read Genesis 49:13-15 very differently. They glorified Issachar while explaining away Zebulun's calm superiority in a way that does not denigrate Issachar. Zebulun was an aggressive tribe on the ascendancy, but Issachar was comparatively weak.

    Issachar and Zebulun Among Jacob's sons from Leah, Issachar was the fifth and Zebulun the sixth (Genesis 30:18-20). 18Then Leah said, "God has given me my wages because I gave my maid to my husband." So she named him Issachar. 19Leah conceived again and bore a sixth son to Jacob. ...read more

    Thomas The Disciple – The Hidden Gem Of Thought Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jul 13, 2022
     | 3,163 views

    The Apostle Thomas is responsible for some of the greatest facts the Lord gave on earth. We owe much to Thomas. Here his life is examined and those wonderful pillars of our faith that proceed from what Thomas asked and said. Is “doubting Thomas” really justified?

    THOMAS THE DISCIPLE – THE HIDDEN GEM OF THOUGHT CHARACTERS OF JOHN’S GOSPEL – Message on Thomas PART 1: Not a great deal is known about the disciple Thomas. In Matthew 10, Mark 3, Luke 6, and Acts 1 he is mentioned in the list of the disciples Jesus called. We do not know under what ...read more

    God is extremely gracious. He gives each one of us countless opportunities. But we must not take His patience for granted. He is a just God as well. I would be delighted if you could rate this sermon and give brief feedback.

    INTRODUCTION (SECURE ATTENTION) & BACKGROUND OF THE PASSAGE: PRAY before starting the sermon. Second Samuel 12 records the prophet Nathan’s visit to King David. This visit occurred after David’s terrible sins of committing adultery with Bathsheba and getting her husband, Uriah killed. Nathan ...read more

    A brief overvied of "All Saints" and the omission by modern Churches.

    All Saints Sunday Thomas F. Bracewell OSL It would be most interesting if we started this sermon/lesson by perhaps asking those who know anything at all about "all Saints Day" to raise their hands. . .of course I am not going to do that because there are possibly only a handful of us who are even ...read more

    Mary, The Mother Of Jesus

    Contributed by Dr John Singarayar Svd on Jun 22, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,231 views

    In this sermon, the preacher focuses on the Virgin Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ. He believes that after Jesus Christ, Mary is the principal person in the history of salvation. He explains that it was pure love-in-faith which brought about Mary's motherhood to Jesus.

    Reflection Mary, the Mother of Jesus Why did God choose Mary? What was His reason for giving this particular place in His plan of salvation? This question can time to time arise in us when we think of Mary the Mother of Jesus. Christianity is not simply a religion. First and foremost, ...read more
