Sermons on Servant Songs:

Do Something!!!

Contributed by Marc Phillips on Nov 18, 2014

We must be doers of the word, not just hearers. Sermon uses the song "Do Something" By Matthew West as an illustration to show that we are God's hands and feet, who are we to complain about things, and not do anything about them?

Psalms 31:23 “O love the Lord, all you His godly ones! The Lord preserves the faithful and fully recompenses the proud doer.”What does that mean? What does it mean to love the Lord biblically? My understanding of biblical love includes an attitudinal response and demonstrated obedience, ...read more

In Praise Of Our Reliable God (Psalm 40:1-17) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Dec 27, 2025

We sing songs to the God who can be trusted to pull us out of the pit, and put us on dry ground. Part of what "faith" is, is choosing to have confidence that God will come through for us.

Today, we have the privilege of working through Psalm 40. Let's start by reading verses 1-4 (Hebrew numbering throughout, my apologies): Of/for the director. Of/for David. A Psalm. (1) Surely, I waited for Yahweh, and He stretched out to me, and He heard my cry for help, (2) and He ...read more

Anyone Can Serve... Can't They? Series

Contributed by Michael Stark on Jan 22, 2017

Nadab and Abihu were born to great privilege as servants of the Living God, they reached for more, leading to death. Though He is patient, God does not play games with rebels. Let the people of God hear the Word of the Living God and take heed.

“Now Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, each took his censer and put fire in it and laid incense on it and offered unauthorized fire before the Lord, which he had not commanded them. And fire came out from before the Lord and consumed them, and they died before the Lord. Then Moses said to ...read more

There Was A Man Sent From God

Contributed by Kenneth Trent on Nov 19, 2002

Just as God raised up John the Baptist to proclaim repentance and to call men to prepare the way of the Lord, even so today when He has a work to be done, He seeks for a willing servant.

Calling All Angels Series

Contributed by Pat Cook on May 2, 2006

This talks about the role that angels played on the first Resurrection day. God used them because He wanted to, not because He had to. It’s the same with His servants today.

Supernatural Evangelisim

Contributed by Ian Johnson on Jun 24, 2006

If there were hillsides full of Chariots helping Elisha then there are hillsides of Chariots helping His servants today. After all the book of Hebrews says, “The Angels are Ministers of fire sent to help the Heirs of Salvation:”.

The Supernatural realm, the Angels and the signs and wonders of God should be a natural part of our Chrisitan life.There is a fear that we will fall into deception or be led astray by these Supernatural experiances. But I suspect that if an Angel came into our room and asked us to worship him, we ...read more

Of course you don’t have to be a minor celebrity or a high-powered CEO to demand: “Don’t you know who I am!?!” You ...read more
