We are not told who that “someone” was who asked Jesus the question “Lord will those who are saved be few?” but in answering the question Jesus actually tells us how to get there. He tells us that only few will get in while many will stand outside the door and keep ...read more

Contributed by Caleb Sowers on May 9, 2019

From 1908 to 2018, the Church of the Nazarene grew from 10,000 members to 2.5 million. They surrendered. They heard the call, the Great Commission given to every Christian, and they submitted. I think this is the problem that Christianity in general is facing today. Christians stopped surrendering.

The Church Manual states that “The Church of the Nazarene recognizes all believers are called to minister to all people.” I love that statement. I love it because it really sums up how the Church of the Nazarene from its earliest days really felt the burden of the Great Commission and from the ...read more

How To Avoid Hell Youth Sermon

Contributed by Youth Sermons on Sep 4, 2023

The main idea is that hell is a real place, but we can avoid it by accepting Jesus Christ as our Savior, who offers us hope, rest, and peace for eternity.

Today, we're going to talk about a pretty intense topic: hell. I know it's not something we usually chat about, but it's important to understand because Jesus talked about it a lot.

Courage Is Greater Than Gossip Youth Sermon

Contributed by Youth Sermons on Oct 5, 2023

Instead of spreading gossip, we should have the courage to go directly to the person involved in conflict or sin. We should always choose kindness over gossip.

Hey guys! Ever heard of the Copernican Revolution? It's when people figured out that the sun, not the earth, was the center of the universe. It was a total game-changer.
