Sermons on Seduce:

Turn Around Or Turn Out Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Mar 30, 2009

Dramatic monologue as if Paul were speaking: a farewell address, focused largely on Philippians, but drawing from much of the Pauline literature. A play on Paul’s name: Pray, Avoid, Understand, Love.

Paul, servant of the Gospel, to all the saints in Gaithersburg: grace to you and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. I thank my God every time I remember you, constantly praying with joy for all of you, because of your sharing in the gospel from the first day until now. I am ...read more

Truth Or Consequences

Contributed by Betty Johnson on Jan 3, 2010

A sermon about truth in postmodern society. How Satan perverts the truth and how we can protect ourselves from the lies. With hand-out notes at the end.

Truth or Consequences? Mapleton, Jan 3, 2010 Scripture: Genesis 3 & 4 How many of you remember the game show, “Truth or Consequences”? It was a show that actually started out as a radio show in 1940 and then went to television as well. Bob Barker made his television debut on Truth or ...read more

A Deadly Virus

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 3, 2010

Sin is not excused by good works, and unrepentant self-indulgence is destructive. Sexual integrity is not just a private matter; how we handle it will determine what happens with our church.

This has the potential for being the shortest sermon I’ve ever done. At first glance, it seems all I need to do with this text is to praise the church for doing so well, declare myself to be against sin, and wrap it up. The shortest sermon I’ve ever done, and maybe the shortest on record! Anybody ...read more

Praying Like Jesus

Contributed by John Lowe on Aug 20, 2014

"Our Father" I find it interesting here that Jesus would teach us this phrase because Jesus Himself never uses that phrase."In heaven" Jesus reminds us here that we are not approaching an earthly father that is limited in his capabilities or his presence.

Redemption In Ruth

Contributed by Jacob Brimm on Aug 22, 2014

Sometimes God is working when we cannot see. Ruth is the best example of this. This is best done in 3 separate sermons and not attempted to be done in one setting. I will provide a break down into a 3 sermon series soon.

Have you every felt alone? Felt like no one cares? Felt like there was just no hope? Maybe things are going so bad that it feels like even God doesn’t care. You’ve prayed and prayed and even cried out “GOD PLEASE HELP ME??? ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING?!?!?!?” I have been ...read more

The Bible: Your Friend

Contributed by Eric Hanson on Jun 24, 2015

The Bible is like a best friend; one who is always truthful and is trustworthy.

The Bible: Your Friend Pastor Eric J. Hanson March 1, 2015 Pontius Pilate sarcastically asked Jesus “What is Truth?” His attitude about that whole matter was typical of people who are not walking with God. What he meant was, “There is no genuine truth for guiding people’s ...read more

Christian Basketball

Contributed by Robert Sickler on Jan 4, 2010

We are Christians on the basketball court of life and how well we play depends on how well we conquer sin in our lives.

CHRISTIAN BASKETBALL ILLUSTRATION I love to watch my grandchildren play basketball and I try very hard to seldom miss a game. My enjoyment does not come from them being superstars or because their team is always in first place. I enjoy the game because I love my grandchildren; I love seeing ...read more

Anticipating Grief

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 18, 2010

A grief anticipating what will happen is difficult, but can be handled if we ask and accept forgiveness. When the grief is fulfilled, then we are ready to do what our hearts tell us. God suffered anticipating grief and so understands.

Only someone who has done some grieving can help those who now grieve. A hundred "I’m sorries" and a thousand "I know how you feels" are worthless when you feel profound grief. You need at your side someone who has been through loss. And if yours is anticipating grief; that is, if yours is the ...read more

Grace From Galatians (1 0f 19)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 7, 2022

The churches in Galatia were being influenced by those who would "pervert the gospel of Christ" (1:6-7; 3:1). Known as "Judaizing teachers,"

Paul recognized the danger of teaching such things. Because the enemies of the true gospel were trying to support their case by undermining Paul's authority as an apostle of Christ, it was necessary to verify that he was truly an apostle "not from men nor through man, but through Jesus ...read more

These commandments deal with every segment of society.

Illus: A preacher was talking to a teenage girl one day about the Lord when she told him, “I have a hard time living up to the Bible." Then she added, "But I do try to live up to the ten commandments." To hear this young lady talk you would think she rejects all scripture except the ...read more

In This War

In This War Introduction: I would like to leave you with a lesson this morning of what it will take to make this church victorious going forward.
