    Race To The Tomb

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Mar 31, 2010
    based on 6 ratings
     | 7,163 views

    All of us are running in this world. Some are running to God, some trying to run away from Him. How far will they go? We should be running in a spiritual way. All our focus needs to be on the tomb where Jesus rose to new life and will take us with him to

    Opening illustration: I think of Eric Liddell. The movie Chariots of Fire depicts how his sister Jenny tried to persuade Eric to give up his running, and go to China with her to be a missionary. He said, "No, God has made me fast and called me to run." It would have been wrong at that point to be a ...read more

    based on 30 ratings
     | 3,500 views

    A sermon that picks up Pauls theme of running the race and uses the modern context of competition to discus running the Christian race.

    Gold medal Christianity. Let the games begin! This week I had to help someone move 2 cubic metres of firewood into a shed. It took about twenty minutes and I think I could do it faster. With training I might be able to get the time down to ten minutes or perhaps seven is not out of the question. I ...read more

THE CHRISTIAN LIFE IS COMPARED TO A RACE. From the time we are saved to the time we leave this world. Life is not a sprint, ...read more

    Pressing On Series

    Contributed by Darryl Klassen on Jan 21, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,134 views

    This is a narrative style sermon intended to bring out the spirit of the passage and give drama and encouragement to listeners to keep "Pressing On" in their walk, or run, of faith.

    KEEP PRESSING ON My first love in preaching is to teach a verse by verse exegesis of the passage. Sometimes the passage is so familiar to the congregation that a different approach is needed to accentuate the truths. To make the passage real for people who are listening and wanting to engage it ...read more

    Winning a race requires purpose and discipline. As Christians, we are running toward our heavenly reward. Don’t merely observe from the grandstand; don’t just turn out to jog a couple of laps each morning. Train diligently – your spiritual progress depend

    Opening illustration: We can become distracted and look away from the goal of becoming like Christ. If you saw the movie Chariots of Fire, then maybe you remember the great runner Abraham. He had won so many races. His coach held up such discipline. But he finally lost one of the races because he ...read more

    Over the edge. That is where so many employers seem to be pushing their workers these days. Perhaps you have felt it yourself.

    Moses was God's man in God's place but his timing was not always on target.

    1. The metaphor of the Olympic Games of Rome is key to the NT writers a. In the Revelation, John (and us) declares that the games of the emperor were not about Domitian but about God and Jesus at work in history b. Think of the ways he could have said to the world that Jesus is his son; until the ...read more
