    Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Jun 16, 2008
    based on 7 ratings

Our Lord’s disciples had asked Jesus to teach them to pray (v. 1). As part of his answer, Jesus shared a ...read more

    If you were to ask Joseph, “How did you become such a great success?” Perhaps he would have told you this following message of how God used seven tragic things in his life to make of him a success!

    If the resurrection is true, we need to do something about it! Respond to it. This is a fairly short talk encouraging first time commitments to Jesus

    If Jesus Christ did not rise from the dead then most of what we do as a Church is a waste of time. If Jesus Christ was not raised then my job is almost entirely meaningless and I am wasting my life away; but if Jesus Christ was truly raised then we have the most important message for the world, for ...read more

    The angel at the tomb said, ‘why seek the living among the dead?’ And many are finding it true as they seek a church. Corinth was a defiled, divided, and thus disgraced place, but there was hope! Link inc. to formatted text, audio, PowerPoint.

    How to Kill a Church I Corinthians 1:1-17 http://gbcdecatur.org/sermons/KillChurch.html “Jesus, yes! The church, no!” That was a popular slogan in the 60s...or so I’m told.
