Sermons on Serving:

Wholehearted Living Series

Contributed by Mark Opperman on Aug 29, 2011

If Jesus is our Master, we cannot continue to do our own thing or indulge in a lifestyle of sin. It just doesn’t work! If Jesus is our Master, His values and His leadership will be evident in our lives. Christians can only serve one Master wholeheartedly

Wholehearted Living Intro: Previously, we looked at the first 14 verses of Romans 6 and talked about the fact that we’ve been freed by grace. The former person that I was before Christ found me and transformed me is dead and gone! I’m not the same and never will be by the grace of God! ...read more

How Close Is Your Miracle?

Contributed by Gregory Mc Donald on Sep 5, 2011

God's Word tells us, and I believe it...we serve a mighty God...a loving God...a miracle working God. He wants to work in your life so that you will draw closer to Him and that through you others will also come to know Him.

HOW CLOSE IS YOUR MIRACLE? 2 KINGS 4:1-7 I've tried to look at ministry through the eyes of Jesus. What was the message Jesus preached? If pastors are to carry out His ministry until He returns, it would be good to know what type of message and ministry Jesus had when here on earth. The good ...read more

A Fruitful Spirit Series

Contributed by Bart Leger on Jul 27, 2007

When you see a Christian you expect them to be bearing fruit don’t you? You expect each believer to be winning souls for Christ and training others to serve Him right? Not so sure about that one, huh? The apostle Paul, as he is writing to the Roman Chr

A Fruitful Spirit “Where’s the beef?” Those of you old enough, do you remember that Wendy’s commercial with the little old lady asking “Where’s the beef?” barely tall enough to see over the counter?

Our God Is Able

Contributed by Pastor Yolito De Gracia on Sep 17, 2006

We are serving a Sovereign God. God can do what he pleases. Throughout the ages God hath shown this power. I pray that we will be strengthened, and will put our sole confidence in our Omnipotent LORD. May we find comfort and strength as we ponder t

Are You Content (Cun-Tent) With Your Content (Cahn-Tent)?

Contributed by Darian Catron on Nov 27, 2020

Charles Spurgeon said, "If you are not content with what you have, you would not be satisfied if it were doubled." But do we live like that's true? Do we see our circumstances as opportunities to serve and praise God or as an opportunity to complain?

INTRODUCTION: Illustration/Story/Quote/Statistic- So how many of you, honestly, pigged out this Thanksgiving? Did you fill yourself to the brim? Well, I did. I’m not to afraid to admit it.

May The Weak Be Strong

Contributed by Derek Geldart on Jan 3, 2021

The following sermon is going to review 1 Corinthians 1:26-31 to help us remember that God chooses the foolish, weak, lowly, and despised of this world to serve Him and in doing so shames the wise and strong so that boasting of righteousness, holiness and redemption would only be done in the Lord!

May the Weak be Strong 1 Corinthians 1:26-31 Online Sermon: http://www.mckeesfamily.com/?page_id=3567 What do you do when the Creator of all things seen and unseen who was slain to purchase your soul (Colossians 1:16; Revelation 13:8; 1 Corinthians 6:19-20), asks you a born-again believer to ...read more

Distractions Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Sep 20, 2009

Did you know that this age seeks to distract you from becoming like the Lord and serving in His story? Plenty and want are two sides of the same coin and they seek to keep us from freely loving and being used by God. Find out how to beat them at their own

So far in our study of the book of Matthew we have seen Jesus proclaim that only by realizing our lack or rightness and God’s provision of life can we have hope and a future. We saw that God intends for us to be light and salt—communicating His message to a dark and bland world. We saw that God is ...read more

Faith In The Midst Of Despair Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jul 26, 2017

Jairus had a great need, and he met One greater than his need. When he faced an impossibility, Jesus provided life. We all have difficulties beyond our control. We have great needs, and we serve a great Christ for our needs.

Faith in the midst of Despair Mark 5: 21-24; 35-43 Following the great miracle in Gadara where the demonic was healed, Jesus made His way back across the Sea of Galilee.

Scars

Contributed by John Gaston on Jul 5, 2018

Often our scars serve as mile-markers in our lives. Other scars are hidden from human view. Scars from verbal or physical abuse, divorce, traumatic losses, betrayals by those you loved. They don't escape the Master's gaze. He wants to heal them.

SCARS INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. In a lot of ways, adults are like kids; we make mistakes and sometimes get hurt. 2. A young boy, Jayden, came into the house covered with mud after finishing a rough day of play. "Mom," he shouted at the top of his voice, "if I fell out of a tree, would you ...read more

Post Spiritual High Syndrome Series

Contributed by Allan Quak on Jan 1, 2019

We all have times in life when we have had a spiritual high. Invariably the high is followed by challenges that lead to frustration and frustration that leads to distraction. This distraction can lead us away from serving God in full strength. That is the definition of Post-Spiritual High Syndrome.

Soul Food

Contributed by Craig Condon on Jun 17, 2015

In order to live with Christ, we have to die to our worldly way of life and take up his life-a life of forgiveness, goodness, trust and service. If we are grounded in Christ’s unconditional love, we are free to lead like Jesus and love and serve others.

The passage we have just heard from John’s Gospel is part of the lengthy “bread of life” discourse in which Jesus shows that he is the only way we can satisfy the hunger we have in our souls. Hunger is a powerful motivator. When we are physically hungry, we get something to eat. ...read more

Cost Of Being A Disciple Of Christ.

Contributed by Derek Geldart on Jan 3, 2018

What would it be like to serve God all your life only to hear Him say the words “I never knew you?” Have you counted the costs of becoming a disciple of Christ? Have you really become a child of God? Please read this sermon and make sure!

Our Church At Its Best Series

Contributed by Rick Crandall on Jan 6, 2018

God want us to be the best church we can possibly be. How can we get there? 1. Be saved by the Lord (vs. 1). 2. Be seeking the Lord (vs. 2). 3. Be separated for the Lord (vs. 2-4). 4. Be serving the Lord (vs. 5).

When The Land Enjoyed Her Sabbath

Contributed by Larry Grant on Jul 23, 2023

"The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath." In other words, the Sabbath was designed to serve and benefit man, not the other way around. God gifted man with a sabbath and He did not intend for the sabbath to be greater than man but that man would accept His gift with joy.

2 Chronicles 36:11-21(NKJV) "When the land enjoyed her Sabbath” July 23, 2023 I. A Failure 16 “…the wrath of the LORD arose against His people, till there was no remedy.” In chapter 7 God had given them a remedy! “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, ...read more

Reluctant? Dull? Indifferent? Series

Contributed by Dean Courtier on Aug 21, 2022

Have you ever found yourself thinking, “I love you, Jesus, but don’t ask me to do that!” Or perhaps you have served God, but your attitude was wrong: “If no one else will do it, then I suppose I have to do it.”

Reluctant? Dull? Indifferent? We are confident that you are meant for better things, things that come with salvation. For God is not unjust. He will not forget how hard you have worked for Him and how you have shown your love to Him by caring for other believers. Our great desire is that you will ...read more
