Sermons on Repeat:

Firm Foundation

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Oct 26, 2011

Using the interests of our kids as teaching opportunities, we repeat Bible stories so they become recognizable, while modeling a godly life before them. The fear of God in the heart will be the most powerful principle of obedience. It is highly desirable

Opening illustration: My nephew in Delhi Aashan began to recognize cars by make and year very early for his age. This all started when he and his grandpa began spending time together playing with his old collection of toy cars. His grandpa would say, “Aashan, get the 1957 Chevy,” and he would pick ...read more

Symbols Of God

Contributed by Curtis Kittrell on Jun 13, 2002

The importance of the tabernacle and its furnishings is seen in the fact that Exodus 35–40 repeats, often word for word, the description of Israel’s worship center in Exodus 25–30. For nearly 500 years Israel worshiped at this portable tent, which with it

But They Could Not...

Contributed by Michael Stark on Jul 13, 2018

Despite the repeated efforts of mankind to duplicate the work of the Lord, His work is unique and man is unable to do what He does. Eventually, those who imagine they can supplant God crash up against reality, and they are revealed to be frauds.

“Then the LORD said to Moses, ‘Say to Aaron, “Stretch out your staff and strike the dust of the earth, so that it may become gnats in all the land of Egypt.”’ And they did so. Aaron stretched out his hand with his staff and struck the dust of the earth, and there were gnats on man and beast. All ...read more

Spontaneous Prayer Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 19, 2021

Spontaneous prayer is much more meaningful and real than planned prayer. Planned prayer is usually locked into formulas, and we repeat the same requests over and over. This kind of prayer gets dull, and it is seen as a duty rather than a joy.

George Buttrick in his large book simply called Prayer tells of why the Acoma Indians in Colorado chose to live on the mesa. The rock gave them safety. The Apaches on the South and the Navajos on the North made them sitting ducks down on the plains, and so they headed for the rocks. A narrow path ...read more

Guilty Of Our Own Undoneness

Contributed by Ralf Bergmann on Sep 8, 2004

Many people have heard the statement that history often repeats itself. Many have also perhaps heard that the reason we study our history, is so that we learn from the past and not make the same mistakes over and over and over.

When The Holy Spirit Comes (Part I) Series

Contributed by J. Martin on May 7, 2005

The event related in today’s text is not something that can be repeated. It’s an historical event and nothing else. Yet, the Bible says, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you wi

The feast of Pentecost was one of several solemn Jewish celebrations. Others included Passover, the Feast of Trumpets and the Feast of Tabernacles.

Teach Us To Pray Series

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Feb 19, 2008

This prayer is often wrongly used, however. We are not to just mindlessly repeat it from rote memory, but we are to use it as a framework upon which we can build a prayer life that is offered to God, heard and answered by Him, and one that glorifies His

The Testimony Of A Pagan King Series

Contributed by Billy Ricks on Apr 20, 2015

There is a great lesson to learn and live in this 4th chapter of Daniel. It is repeated at least 3 times. Heaven Rules! God is able to humble the proud. God gives warnings to offer grace but we must humble ourselves under His Rule.

Intro: Welcome back to Daniel. We are looking forward to the end. I pray that you are excited to someday see Jesus return in the clouds for His church. Some things to remember as we continue our study of Daniel. Daniel answers many questions for us about the past and the future. However, ...read more

Dare To Be Humble

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Aug 28, 2016

Jesus uses a couple of etiquette lessons to teach true humility. The point is simple (and repeated throughout scripture): If we lift ourselves up, God will put us down. If we lift others up, God will lift us up.

Luke 14:1, 7-14 Dare to Be Humble The Duke of Wellington once haughtily drew himself up to his full height and thundered to one of his staff officers, “God knows I have many faults, but being wrong is not one of them!” The best of us struggle with pride from time to time. In ...read more

This Do In Remembrance Of Me

Contributed by Dale Carter Sr. on Aug 17, 2021

Sometimes men put for to many qualifications on this scripture. Jesus said as often as you do this, do it in remembrance of me. Paul repeated the same. I believe the object of community is to reflect back on what the Lord has done for us all.

Present Standing Of Israel Series

Contributed by John Lowe on May 9, 2020

Anyone who calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved. Paul had shown earlier that everyone is lost. Now he repeats the good news -- Everyone can be saved! The “anyone” of Romans10:13, echoes the “everyone” of John 3:16.

(35) Present Standing of Israel Romans 10:5-12 5 For Moses writes about the righteousness which is of the Law, “The man who does those things shall live by them.” 6 But the righteousness of faith speaks in this way, “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’” (that is, to bring ...read more

The Lord's Prayer 3 - The Pattern Of Prayer Series

Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Aug 18, 2024

Sometime we repeat prayers over and over again and do not stop to think about what we are saying. The Lord's prayer falls into this category - we need to stop and think about each phrase and use it as our prayer.

The Pattern of prayer Sometimes when we say something in worship perhaps we do not stop and think what we are actually saying and when we do we wonder what on earth do we mean by that? Even though we might have been saying the same things over and over again we do not really think about what we ...read more
