    People often request that this song be sung at their memorial service. This song "Amazing Grace" means something to Christians, it is precious to their hearts. To most Christians will contest that it is what Christianity all about.

    This New Year’s Eve Watchnight service sermonette focused on the significance of the memorial God commanded Joshua to build in Gilgal after the Israelites crossed the Jordan and entered the Promised Land.

    1. The stones signified a strenuous past 2. The stones signified a sovereign God 3. The stones signified a saved people You may be wondering why you got a stone when you came in tonight. They’re not for throwing, or making pet rocks or anything like that. As we get ready to ring in the New Year, ...read more

    This is a sermon for the watch night service. As we enter into 2006 in order to reach our purpose and achieve our destiny we must forget the things of the past and let them go.

    “Forget it and Let it go” By Elder Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. Philippians 3:13 “Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but [this] one thing [I do], forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before.” If we go back to the 10 verse the Bible ...read more

    The Holy Spirit not only give us spiritual gifts to use in our service to God, He also gives us the power, love and self-discipline to utilize them effectively.

    Last week we began a series of 3 messages on the nature and responsibility of having Spiritual Gifts. If you were here you might remember that we read from Romans 12 and 1 Peter 4. And we learned that every believer has at least one spiritual gift. These are God given abilities distributed among ...read more

    The Gift Of Discerning Of Spirits Series

    based on 164 ratings
     | 39,963 views

    Discerning of spirits is such a vital gift to the body of Christ. The enemy has gotten away with a lot of demonic manifestations in our church services because the gift of discerning of spirits was not functioning in the leadership.

    By: Donna J. Kazenske 1 Cor. 12:7-10 "But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: for to one is given the word of wisdom, through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, to another the gift of faith by the same Spirit, to another ...read more

    This is a funeral service for a Christian who has had been given the gift of music which he shared in his community, in church and as a public school teacher. Two helpful illustrations

    In Jesus Holy Name Text: Psalm 98:1 Funeral “Sing to the Lord a New Song” Grace, Mercy and Peace to you from our risen Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. _________________ loved music. It was his life. That’s why I have chosen this verse from Psalm 98 as the ...read more

    The death of a child is not a waste for he is a blessing from the Lord, a reward from him (This is the message I preached in a funeral service for a young boy who died of a lingering sickness).

    Honestly, I find it hard to speak in a funeral service. I am aware that words are not enough to fully comfort the family. I’m at a loss for words because I have kids also. I find the task harder because tonight we are holding a funeral service for an 8-year-old boy, Justyn [Name changed to protect ...read more

    A sermon preached prior to revival services, the outline was in the margins of my Bible and i’m not sure where i came up with it from so i built upon it.

    Steps to Revival 2 Chronicles 14:1-6 (use NIV) Intro: How can you tell when you need revival? One person suggested that it becomes evident when it affects your hymn singing. Here are some examples: • We sing "Sweet Hour of Prayer" and are content with 5-10 minutes. • We sing "Onward Christian ...read more

    There is always a common bond between those who faithfully serve Christ. Their sharing in grace-gifted service for the Gospel of Christ, gives mutual encouragement be it by distant learning or close fellowship.

    ROMANS 1: 8-13 THE ENCOURAGEMENT OF THE FAITHFUL [Ephesians 4: 1-16] Having introduced himself, Paul now gives a general introduction common in his letters. He was writing to the Church at Rome because he had for a long time been touched -fortified- by their deep commitment to Jesus and high ...read more

    Sadducees disagreed--with nearly everybody. They had their version of the Torah, much like the Samaritans. So the question must be asked; want to argue or be "all in" the service of our God?

    Message November 10, 2013 All In A man opens his eyes and realizes he’s in front of St. Peter at the pearly gates. Immediately St. Peter said, “It’s not so easy getting into heaven. There are some criteria to be met before entering. “For example,” Peter said, ...read more

    Grateful Worship

     | 5,389 views

    A very short talk given at a midweek Communion service, looking at the firstfruits brought to the Temple. Today, our offerings should also be used to bless the foreigner, the asylum seeker and the Priest!

    I wonder how you will react when in just a moment I rephrase verse eleven of this Bible reading. We’ve just heard about an important act of worship in the life of Israel. As a response of thanks and praise to God for bringing them into the Land he promised (26:3), worshippers were required ...read more

    Unexpected Joy

     | 7,350 views

    We sing and quote that "The joy of the LORD is your strength," but learning to live it in challenging service to our King is a daily "workout" for our faith (that brings "unexpected joy").

    How many of us have ever said, “As soon as I get this accomplished, I’ll focus on helping out at the church?” How many of us have ever said, “As soon as I have my degree in hand, I’ll start seriously serving the Lord” or “As soon as our church finds a building (or a pastor), I’ll really get ...read more

    The Nazarene

     | 5,138 views

    Jesus "fills full" the prophecies that Messiah would be a Nazarene and a light to the Gentiles. His place of birth and service is part of his humiliation as God reached down to lift us up.

    Matthew 2__19-23 The Nazarene "Jesus of Nazareth" Jesus moved from Bethlehem in Judea to Nazareth in Galilee with a stopover in Egypt. Saying you are from Nazareth is a bit like saying you live in Shelbyville or Knightstown. You aren’t living in a place known for its class or appeal. ...read more

    Are You 'whole'? Are You Thankful?

     | 2,419 views

    A short talk given at a midweek communion service. Anyone (absolutely anyone) who calls out to Jesus for pity, mercy, forgiveness, will receive it; but are we thankful? Are we ’whole’?

    Jesus brings wholeness. We bring thankfulness. What have you brought with you to this service of Holy Communion today? By that I don’t mean shopping trolleys, or shopping lists, or an umbrella in case it rains, or that letter which you forgot to post. What have you brought to Church today? Have you ...read more
