  • Revival And Praise Series

    Contributed by Maximiliano Zapata on May 14, 2001
    based on 45 ratings
     | 8,840 views

    In a church you need "Reaching Out", you need "Reaching In" but Revival is about "Reaching Up."

    I think, that in talking about Revival, these past two Sundays, I may have caused some confusion over what I mean by that word and the reason for that is because Revival, is not a word that we hear much about in the churches of Christ. We know what the word Retreat means, we know what the words ...read more

I remember going up to him ...read more

    When we try to meet God’s standards from our own resources we will consistently fail.

    New Years Eve is a time for new beginnings, a time for taking new steps in our lives. At midnight tonight millions of Americans will make new year’s resolutions for the year 2001.

    based on 69 ratings
     | 6,341 views

    Plain talk about the "intermediate state" (between death and resurrection) for people investigating the Christian faith.

    Mother’s Day is an appropriate time to mention the fact that that no matter how prepared we think they are for parenthood, we’re never really ready.

    based on 379 ratings
     | 18,269 views

    One of the most important, most powerful and beautiful dimensions of Christianity is the hope it gives that physical death will not be the end, but through a resurrection we will enter God’s kingdom and experience eternal life

    Four friends were talking about death. One of them asked the other three, "When you are in your casket and people are mourning you, what would you like to hear them say about you?" The first man said, "I’d like to hear them say that I was a fine physician in my time and a great family man." The ...read more

    based on 64 ratings
     | 9,789 views

    Outreach is a partnership of trust, where God trusts us and we trust God. Knowing which part we are responsible is essential for effective outreach.

    Note: This sermon was introduced with a drama called "Conversion" In many ways, sharing our faith in Jesus Christ can feel like coming out of the closet with a dark secret.

    based on 7 ratings
     | 6,869 views

    Are we spending too much time holding the fort? I believe it’s time to take offensive measures for the advancement of God’s Kingdom and take back what the Devil has stolen from us.
