    Doing What God Asks Us To Do!

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Jul 9, 2006
    based on 7 ratings
     | 4,073 views

    God gave Saul an instruction but Saul only half-carried it out. This short homily is a challenge to us: Let’s do all that God asks us to do; nothing more AND nothing less!

    In these days of terrorism this Bible event is hard for us to understand; and I know of one or two people who have rejected God because of it. The irony is of course that the story is primarily kept for us as a warning not to reject God’s instructions! Hundreds of years ago, stories such as this ...read more

    Messages To The Seven Churches - Part 4 Series

     | 3,636 views

    Thyatira was the least important. None the less, the church there received the longest of the letters in Revelation, undoubtedly because of the city’s large Christian population, and because the church there faced a problem that has troubled many churches

    MESSAGES TO THE SEVEN CHURCHES Revelation 2:1- 3:22 Part 4 Thyatira – The Permissive Church Revelation 2:18-29 Good News Christian Fellowship August 27, 2006 BUCAS, Daraga albay Introduction A.

    Power Of Simplicity Series

    Contributed by Tim Smith on May 28, 2015
     | 5,366 views

    In our Scripture today, Jesus is confronting the world’s conventional wisdom about wealth and materialism which says, “More is better.” Jesus says that for abundant life, less is more.

    Power of Simplicity Matthew 10:9-11, 42 Shirley Fields writes, “12 years ago my husband and I were still spending most of our time running a business we had created. Financially everything was great. The store we owned and operated was in a wonderful location, and had the extra large office ...read more

    Healthy Choices Series

    Contributed by Tim Smith on May 28, 2015
     | 8,335 views

    We are a product of the choices we make. ut what’s the most important choice we can make? All healthy choices on the road less traveled start with the decision to serve God.

    Healthy Choices Matt 7:13-16, 21-23 When I’m on a road trip, do you know what my top two questions are? Where am I going to eat and how can I eat healthy? Here’s the thing: I always start off with the best intentions to eat healthy. I usually work out first, I take water to drink, ...read more

    Love, Prayer And Grace

    Contributed by Howard Strickland on May 2, 2016
     | 4,036 views

    No one will go and make disciples, much less baptize a so-called follower without believing that Jesus gave them these final words. These words from Jesus came out of concern, care and love...

    Love, Prayer and Grace Matthew 28:19-20 Jesus gave His disciples one final command upon ascending to heaven. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have ...read more

    The world always says bigger is better; smaller is not good. The ungodly believes that more is better and less is not good; there is strength in numbers and the few becomes unimportant; that the rich and famous are more important than the poor and insigni

    Intro: The world always says bigger is better; smaller is not good.

    Go, In The Strength You Have Series

    based on 3 ratings
     | 29,883 views

    In Gideon we see a truth about EXCUSES!! What is an excuse? It is A LIE WRAPPED UP IN AN EXPLANATION and you think because you have some explanation that makes the lie less ugly and more acceptable.

    GO, in the Strength YOU have Judges 6:11-14 It is really intriguing how God writes a sermon. This sermon comes out of a discussion I had with Shawn about why God blesses some churches and not others. But then, it also comes out of a book I read about Gideon. It started out as a sermon about one ...read more

    A Rich And Satisfying Life Series

    Contributed by Larry Turner on Jul 7, 2012
     | 10,203 views

    Jesus said his purpose was to give us "a rich and satisfying life." But sometimes it seems our life is a lot less than satisfying. Did we miss something in what He said?

    Last week we talked about our dependence on God as He is the One with our future in his hands. We made a Declaration of Dependence on him that read; “We hold this truth to be self-evident, that all men are created equal in sin, that through grace, they have been endowed by ...read more

    What makes you happy? Studies show that people who are healthy and have money are happier than those who are less happy and do not have as much money. What is the source of real happiness?

    WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY? INTRODUCTION: What makes you happy? Studies show that people who are healthy and have money are happier than those who are less healthy and do not have as much money. The question becomes: does being healthy make you happy or are you happy because you are ...read more

    Gifts

    Contributed by Dennis King on Aug 26, 2022
     | 1,190 views

    What do you think of when "gifts" are mentioned? Usually, when Christians think of "gifts," we think of giving 10%, or less, to the Church. How backward is that?

    Gifts What do you think of when I mention the word "gifts?" Usually, when Christians think of "gifts," we think of giving a small portion of money to the Church. Are you kidding me? Since everything is God's to begin with, how backward is that? Oh, how the sin of pride ...read more

    Greatness Through Servanthood Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Nov 8, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,481 views

    The Bible talks less about what makes a great leader than it does about what makes a great servant. What is it about God's leaders that requires them to be servants of others?

    Today we are putting a man's name into consideration as a future Elder. I hadn't actually planned a sermon on Eldership (the sermon series I'm preaching through is something I'm working with other preachers on) but the text seemed to be a good groundwork for understanding what ...read more

    Jesus On Family Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jun 12, 2025
     | 126 views

    It's easy to overlook just how radical a statement Jesus makes here. He is doing nothing less than fundamentally redefining the family. What are the implications of actually living this out?

    ONE QUICK POINT BEFORE WE GET TO THE ACTUAL SERMON: The definition of a Christian is someone hearing God’s word and putting it into practice. - Luke 8:21. - Matthew 7:21, 24, 26; Matthew 12:50; John 7:17; John 14:23; John 15:10; 1 John 2:17. - Jesus says something here that is crucially ...read more

    Hate Crimes

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Feb 10, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,117 views

    Jesus believed in hate crimes, because God knows the heart. Jesus urges us to resolve our murderous thoughts, make it right when we can, and settle out of court, all so that a watching world will take note of how Christian brothers and sisters get along.

    Matthew 5:21-26 Hate Crimes The FBI defines a hate crime as a “criminal offense against a person or property, motivated in whole or in part by an offender’s bias against a race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, ethnicity, gender, or gender identity.” A hate crime is not the same as hate ...read more

    When A Little Guy Meets A Big God

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Nov 6, 2016
    based on 1 rating
     | 14,713 views

    Jesus reaches out to the smallest and the evilest among us with a very personal invitation. He calls us by name. He invites himself over. He desires nothing less than a radically changed life, submitted to him, and all for our good!

    Luke 19:1-10 When a Little Guy Meets a Big God Today’s passage is a very popular children’s Bible story, but it’s a lot more than that. It reveals the very heart of God: one who pursues each one of us to bring us into a loving personal relationship with him. I want to walk us ...read more
