     | 3,404 views

    The Day of Pentecost was a day when God revealed a great deal about his purpose in giving believers the Holy Spirit. This passage, surprisingly, is not about the gift of tongues.

    Passage: Acts 2:1-13 Intro: Every week our church receives a number of offers to help us market the gospel. 1. to take our message and put it into an attractive format that will appeal to people. 2. glossy publications, better sound, nicer pulpit, and of course, professional graphics. 3. ...read more

    In the passage on Jesus cleansing the Temple, we see that there may be some things in our lives that Jesus needs to clean out before we can worship Him.

    “God Don’t Want No Dirty House” John 2:13-22 INTRODUCTION: We continue in our series on great events in the ministry of Jesus. After Jesus performed His first miracle at the wedding in Cana, He traveled with His Disciples and family to Capernaum … about 15 miles away – 2:12 After spending a ...read more

    The Cause And Cure Of Dissension Among The People Of God

    Contributed by Johnny Wilson on Aug 24, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 10,571 views

    Numbers 12 provides a pattern which demonstrates the way dissension develops among God’s People and why. Two New Testament passages show the antidote.

    It was one of those nightmares I hope never to experience again. Our regular mid-week prayer service usually had somewhere between 6-10 people in attendance with a maximum of 4-5 cars parked alongside the church building to accommodate them. As I pulled up to the church on this particular night, I ...read more

    Today in our passage of Scripture we’re going to see Jesus sharing w/us what our motivation should be to fulfill his mission.

    Intro: Everybody but Sam had signed up for a new company pension plan that called for a small employee contribution. The company was paying the rest. Unfortunately, 100% employee participation was needed; otherwise the plan was off. Sam’s boss and his fellow workers pleaded w/him to sign ...read more

    If symbolism is gold, then Ex. 12 is ‘Fort Knox!’ A passage rich in practical truths to enhance Christian living. Link inc. to formatted text, audio, and PowerPoint.

    Double Meanings Exodus 12:1-15 http://gbcdecatur.org/sermons/doublemeanings.html The OT is rich in symbolism. Throughout it you find golden gems...stories which could stand alone and be powerful enough, and yet they have further meaning which apply later in the NT. If symbolism is riches, then ...read more

    Here we find a troubling passage in which Jesus is driving the money-changers and their customers out of the Temple. What was the problem, and do we still do it today?

    Passage: Matthew 21:12-17 Intro: This is a story that we are a little uncomfortable with. 1. because we are a little bit taken aback by the strength of Jesus’ behavior. 2. He is knocking over tables and chairs, hitting people with a whip. 3. if we would be honest, we would almost ...read more

    The 70 Sevens--God's Countdown Series

    This is the most amazing prophetic passage in all the Word of God, because God not only tells us WHAT will happen, but He gives us the PRECISE TIMING of these plans.

    INTRODUCTION The ninth chapter of Daniel centers clearly upon the person of Jesus Christ and is one of the few places in Scripture where God ties himself to a definite timetable of events. This passage is therefore one of the strongest evidences to prove the divine inspiration of the Bible. I am ...read more

    Dr. Wood shows his listeners that life is not fair as we know it, he uses this passage to show that Solomon wants people to live above this world.

    When Solomon first began His book of Ecclesiastes He looked at life from an overall philosophical view point. This is to say he was looking at it from a wisdom point of view. He said that life was al meaningless and just continued like a snowball rolling down hill. As King Solomon got to look ...read more

    Faith: What It Ain't—what It Is

    Contributed by Bob Joyce on Sep 14, 2007
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,207 views

    This passage in Hebrews gives us the ingredients, implications and illustrations of faith. By defining what faith isn’t, we can learn what true faith is.

    The eleventh chapter of Hebrews is one of the best known of the great chapters of the Bible. It has been called the “Westminster Abby of Scripture” because the heroes of faith are enshrined here. Perhaps that is a misnomer, for some people who have been to Westminster Abby and have said it seemed ...read more

    tonight, in our passage of Scripture, the writer of Hebrews is going to tell us that in our Christian life things are not always the way they appear on the surface- that appearances can be deceiving.

    Appearances Can Be Deceiving Wed. Night March 18th 2009 Hebrews 2:8-18 Introduction Things are not always what they seem to be. You watch the previews on your TV set of a new movie showing at the theatre and you think to yourself that’s got to be one that you have to go see. You go see it and it ...read more

    Finding Purpose In The Potters Hands Series

    Contributed by Rich Dunbar on Mar 21, 2005
    based on 25 ratings
     | 4,267 views

    This sermon utilizes five questions from a short video clip from sermonspice.com called "Potter’s Hand". The answers to those questions are found in the passage.

    Within the seemingly mundane conversation in this passage, I believe we can find the answers to some of life’s most profound questions. 1. Who am I? IF I am… A man made in the image of God – Gen 1:26 A sinner in which that image is flawed – Rom 3:23 THEN… I am not worthy of worship, only God is. ...read more

    This passage from Isaiah 64 gives us words to express our longing for God to come down and make the world right (and make us right).

    Today is the first Sunday of Advent. It’s the first Sunday of a new church year. Advent, as was said in the Lighting of the Candles, means coming. Advent signals the coming of Christmas. (Only 28 more shopping days left!) But even more so, Advent signals the coming of Christ. The season of ...read more

    Romans 5 is a very misunderstood text in the Bible. Verses within it are used to teach many doctrines that are not being taught if you examine the passage within its context.

    Romans 5 is a very misunderstood text in the Bible. Verses within it are used to teach many doctrines that are not being taught if you examine the passage within its context.
