Sermons on Roles:

Are You Discipling Others? Series

Contributed by Noel Atkinson on Jul 8, 2010

This sermon aims to move people from being consumers to people who disciple others. It emphasises that it is not the pastor's job to mature Christians but it is the role of the Christian to do this. It encourages personal prayer, bible reading and sharing

Discipleship part 2 INTRODUCTION To open I would like to start with a true story that happened here at our church. A mother at our playgroup called ‘Jane’ wanted to know more about God, so I started a bible study after the play group. After a few weeks she said it was great but what ...read more

The Promise Of The Spirit Series

Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Oct 5, 2009

This promise of the Paraclete brings further clarity to the role of the Spirit, since now He is described specifically as the “Holy Spirit.” The Holy Spirit is the interpreter of God to us & the One who brings God’s peace to us.

JOHN 14: 25-31 THE PROMISE OF THE SPIRIT [Philippians 4: 6-7] This section continues to prepare Jesus’ disciples for His departure and its consequences for them. The consequences of Jesus’ departure are not to be sorrowful but a release of blessings. For unless Jesus leaves the Spirit of God ...read more

People Of The First Christmas-Joseph Series

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Dec 23, 2020

Joseph is really the unsung hero of the Christmas story. He did have a crucial role to play, and best of all, he obeyed God when he was told to do something. Joseph, we salute you!

Introduction: Joseph, the husband of Mary, could be called the unsung hero of the Christmas story. He was a just or righteous man, he obeyed the instructions he received from God, and he also obeyed the command or decree from the Roman emperor when he was told he had to go to Bethlehem, home of ...read more

It's About Souls For The Kingdom

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Jun 19, 2018

This is a mini sermon used to exhort the congregation before the giving of tithes and offerings. It's designed to help them understand why Jesus' mission (saving souls) must be their mission and the role giving plays in accomplishing it.

Turn with me to Matthew 4. We’re going to read verses 17-20. (17) From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. (18) And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the ...read more

Be Radical For Jesus! Or Other Radicals Will Fill The Void!

Contributed by Kelly Durant on Apr 12, 2015

Too many radical people are rising up and attacking Christians! This is in part due to radical ideals sewn in the 1970s. Communism also plays a role. If we are not radical for Jesus then other radicals will take over.

Be Radical for Jesus! Or Other Radicals Will Fill The Void! by Kelly Durant Acts 2:44-45 Now all who believed were together, and had all things in common, 45 and sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as anyone had need. 2. The disciples of Jesus were ...read more

Exodus Series

Contributed by Tim Smith on Aug 13, 2017

The exodus marks the real beginning of the history of Israel as a people and a nation. It tells the story of Israel’s continued struggle with sin and obedience. Despite all of this, God chose them for a special role and sticks with them

The Holy Spirit

Contributed by Byron Perrine on Jul 9, 2019

The importance of the role of the Holy Spirit is extolled as an additional and vital empirical tool. Empiricism limited to only perception through sight, sound, smell, taste and touch falls short of the epistemological opportunities afforded us by God.

(If you have found this sermon helpful, please visit us at www.HeritageRestorationProject.org or www.ChristianWisdom.info) It should not be misconstrued that Christians believe in three gods. God is one. The Creator Father, the Redeemer Son, and the Counselor Holy Spirit are three manifestations ...read more

Chosen Remnant In Every Generation Series

Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Sep 9, 2022

The remnant of Israel is the main object of this session. The rejection of Jews of the Jews is not universal. Paul remembers and recalls the events that happened during the time of King Ahab and the role of Elijah. It is good to understand what happened in the history of Israel.

Romans 11:01-10 Chosen remnant in every generation The King of Prussia was talking to the chaplain of his army and said, "Listen, can you give me one word that would somehow, in some way, validate the inerrancy of God’s Word, that would validate the fact that it is the truly inspired ...read more

Awesome Authority - Mark 1:14-34 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Jun 11, 2023

Jesus is the promised Son/King from Psalm 2, and has awesome authority over people’s lives, what people become, roles in the kingdom, over the Word of God, over evil, and over disease.

Authority We live in a culture that hates authority. Part of that comes from the natural, prideful, rebellious human heart. And part of it comes from the fact that so many of us have been under terrible authorities who abused their authority. But the truth is, life is most wonderful when you are ...read more

The Construction Of A King's Character (1 Samuel 16:14-23)

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jul 7, 2024

God used solitude, secrecy, sameness, and struggle to shape the character and faith of David for his future role as king of Israel. God can use tools like these to shape anyone who surrenders their life to Him.

David had just been anointed as the next king of Israel by the prophet Samuel (1 Samuel 16:1-13), much to the amazement of his father and brothers. He had been in the fields of Judea tending the family flocks, seemingly consigned like the majority of the populace to live a life of productive ...read more

Character Study Of Rebekah Series
