    Hunger For Holiness Series

    Contributed by Jefferson Williams on Jul 30, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,730 views

    This week, I want to define our terms – “blessing,” “hunger and thirst,” “righteousness,” and “filled,” and then look at a story that Jesus told to help his disciples understand what true hunger looks like.

    The Jesus Manifesto: Hunger for Holiness Matthew 5:6; Luke 15:11-24 Chenoa Baptist Church Pastor Jefferson M. Williams 07-29-18 Hungry Mountain Men A couple of years ago, I did something that was way out of my comfort zone. This city boy went to the mountains. Two friends and I drove to ...read more

    Living with an Eternal Perspective changes how we live. When we are oblivious to the end of our lives and to the shortness of our days, we live as if there is no tomorrow.

    PDL: Your Purpose is Determined by Your Perspective 1. Introduction: a. Review i. Last week we looked at “why you need a purpose in life.” We examined some of the principles for having a purpose. ii. .Things like 1. “we cannot understand or attain our purpose in life apart from ...read more

    Go!

    Until the time of Jesus’ resurrection, the mission was primarily to other Jews. Non Jews were proselytized; however they sought Jesus and his disciples out. Here Jesus explicitly commands the disciples to reach out.

    This morning we have heard the life story and call of Faye to go and serve China in mission. Her mandate is the same as the one upon which the Church as we know it is built. It comes from a directive issued by Jesus himself to his disciples just prior to his ascension into heaven. We find it in ...read more

    The Instruments Of Worship Series

    based on 114 ratings
     | 31,344 views

    For the psalmist, “praise the Lord” was definitely not a cliché but an ecstatic expression of unbridled joy! In six short verses, he uses the phrase 13 times in Psalm 150.

    The Instruments of Worship Our language is filled with clichés, isn’t it? Just listen to athletes who are interviewed after a game. The winners say things like this: We came to play We brought our A-game We played our hearts out Things sound a bit different in the losers’ locker room: We ...read more

    Enough Is Enough: Too Much Ministry Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Jun 3, 2013
    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,252 views

    Because Jesus lived on earth as a man, he typically experienced human limitations. His human side needed a balance between rest and ministry (work), and he was not afraid to say no.

    Enough is Enough: Too Much Ministry (Mark 1:29-45) 1. This last week was different. Marylu and I went to visit Bruce and Joyce Moore. 2. We met them in 1984, back when I was 27. They were still in Ecuador, and we would see them every or every other year. When Hannah was young, she dubbed them ...read more

    IF . . . FOR . . .

    We will consider maturity in terms of various aspects of our Christian lives (Jesus, Cross, The Word, Suffering, Eternity) and how we contrast these from immature and mature points of view.

    Introduction: The year of increase will happen as the church grows both qualitatively and quantitatively. The existing members are called to mature so that they can take care of the new members.

    In terms of realized eschatology the kingdom has come, the kingdom is coming and the kingdom will co. Ezekiel's vision of the temple is a picture like that of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost and the results that followed.

    12.6.11 THE GIFT OF THE EVANGELIST INTRO Today is Pentecost Sunday -- the day in our Church calendar when we remember not so much the Jewish feast, but what took place on that most memorable of all Jewish Pentecost feasts -- the outpouring of the Holy Spirit.

    The Gospel of John states that God has sent the Word to us in Jesus. In him is the originator of good news about what life can be when we receive it in on his terms.

    Scripture The Advent and Christmas season focus on the coming and birth of Jesus Christ. We read and sing about the baby Jesus, angels, shepherds, infancy stories, and wise men. It is all marvelous stuff, but what does it really mean? Today’s Scripture text for the sermon explains it. John 1:1-18 ...read more

    Church For The Churched

     | 17,631 views

    Who is the church for? Believers or unbelievers? Or to use more contemporary terms - churched or unchurched. Listen today as Pastor Steve addresses who is the church in the midst of the seeker-sensitive movement.

    Recently I was invited to attend a church planters conference in Lake Yale. At that conference I was exposed to various teaching and methods for reaching the unchurched. As I sat there and listened and took notes, I couldn’t help to think how we have somehow missed it when it comes to the purpose ...read more

    Today, as we begin to look at 2 Peter, the Apostle Peter talks about our spiritual lives as authentic believers in Jesus Christ in physical terms using our eyes.

    AVOIDING SPIRITUAL BLINDNESS 2 PETER 1:1-11 #SpBlind INTRODUCTION… Spiritual in Terms of the Physical (p) Human beings are unique in all of creation in that we are made up of two distinct parts.

    Emerging from a time of crisis is not easy - and everyone is dealing with that on their own terms. In our text today the Christians in Jerusalem are in a firestorm of persecution and trouble - a time of crisis that became a time of prayer.

    Open The Door Acts 12:1–11 Introduction As we enter Phase Two in Louisiana, doors are opening that have not been. More churches are meeting - although with recommended restrictions to keep people as safe as possible from the virus. Emerging from a time of crisis is not easy - and ...read more

     | 1,164 views

    The words rendered "murmurers" and "complainers" occur nowhere else in the New Testament. The words are synonymous terms to express the same thought with more strength and emphasis.

    09.11.23 Jude 1:16 Characterless People Jude 1:16: “These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage.” Murmurers and Complainers: The words rendered "murmurers" ...read more

    'Blessed are the peacemakers.' We all too easily think in terms of fight or not fight. But Jesus gives us a clear goal when we are in or see situations of conflict.

    Note: this was a talk for a family service which children come to. So we’re only covering one Beatitude and it’s fairly simple. Over the past two weeks we’ve started to look at the Sermon on the Mount. This is a sermon preached on … you guessed it! … a mountainside. It’s the longest of Jesus’ ...read more
