    Contributed by Jerry Flury on Nov 29, 2010
    based on 11 ratings
     | 13,073 views

    God wants His church to be fruitful. He wants and expects growth, both spiritual growth and numerical growth. If we are to be obedient to our commission from Christ we must grow. Let’s look at what it takes to grow a church.

    toHow to Grow a Church Matthew 16:13-19 Introduction: God wants His church to be fruitful. He wants and expects growth, both spiritual growth and numerical growth. But the sad reality is that that according to one survey 81% of America’s churches reported stagnant or declining membership. ...read more

    Learning how to be the church in today's world through learning from the book of Acts.

    [2] Isn’t it nice to be served? You know, when you go to a nice restaurant and you have a great waiter that really takes care of you? Makes you feel good to be served. I went to a restraint once with my family and they had the best wait staff you could imagine. [Napkin in the lap ...read more

    As Christians we can find strength in our weakness. And God promises through His Scriptures that He will remain faithful and comfort us when we are discouraged in times of trial.

    A group of friends went deer hunting and paired off in twos for the day. That night one of the hunters returned alone, staggering under an eight-point buck. "Where’s Harry?" he was asked. "Harry had a stroke of some kind. He’s a couple of miles back up the trail." "You left Harry lying there, and ...read more

    Living Life Upside Down Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jun 2, 2009
    based on 7 ratings
     | 6,220 views

    One of the hardest things we as Christians have to deal with is people who don’t like us and who do bad things to us. We think we know how to react but Paul turns life upside down as he gives us the real way to overcome our enemies.

    Here are a set of principles that many of us live by without knowing it. • Each negative action towards us should be met with an overwhelming opposite reaction so that those that oppose us will be crushed and humiliated. • Be happy when others are happy. Be absent when others are ...read more

    Soul For Sale

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Jun 3, 2009
    based on 10 ratings
     | 9,583 views

    In America, you can metaphorically and literally sell your soul and be rewarded for it. One wonders how the purchaser intended to collect. We can’t literally sell our soul, but we can lose our soul to gain something else. We need to ponder Jesus’ question

    Opening illustration: One would think that selling one’s soul, as Faust offered his to the devil in Goethe’s Dr. Faustus, is only a figment of literary fiction. Medieval as it seems, however, several cases of soul-selling have occurred. Wired magazine reported that a 29-year-old university ...read more

    Coming From Out Of The Middle Of The Pack

    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,861 views

    I believe that most Christians are in the middle of where they can be in God. They don’t want to go too far for fear of what God might expect out of them. I believe that we need to break out from the middle and start heading to the lead of the pack.

    Coming From Out Of The Middle Of The Pack Isaiah 55:6-13 6 Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: 7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he ...read more

    A reading through Chapter Five of Lamentations. This is not a typical sermon.

    Letters Of Lament – Thoughts From Lamentations Chapter Five INTRODUCTION: There are times when we all lament – or need to lament.

    The Restoration Of Father God

    Contributed by Joseph Lai on Sep 18, 2010
    based on 8 ratings
     | 4,755 views

    To those who are lost and living under slavery to the power and curse of Sin, the Word is saying “Come make peace with God.” To those who do have salvation through accepting Jesus, God is saying “learn what you have been restored with and live by it.”

    “But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet...” (Luk 15:20) This is a well known parable, most Christians have either heard of it or study on it. And there is still a lot for us yet to learn and ...read more

    Too many people think their perception is reality but it must be subjected to the truth or it can become extremely dangerous.

    God comes to see Adam and Eve in the garden and finds that someone has robbed him of a very special possession.

    Who Told You? Who are you listening to? Genesis 3:11 Who told you that you were naked?

    The Word of God teaches us that man can do nothing apart from God. As believers we are to recognize our union with Him and demonstrate our understanding of our dependence in both word and deed.

    Our Dependence John 15:5 The Declaration of Independence states that “all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.” The words freedom and liberty do ...read more
