    Sermon # 6 - United With A Purpose Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Feb 13, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,621 views

    Only when we are united in heart, mind and purpose will the people around us know and believe in Jesus. This sermon will teach us what we should do to make this a possibility.

    We read in Acts 4:32, “The whole congregation of believers was united as one — one heart, one mind!” (MSG) The testimony about the early church was that though they were numerous, they were all with one heart and one mind. When we hear such a declaration, probably the question that arises is, ‘How ...read more

    Imitating Love

    Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Mar 23, 2023
     | 2,347 views

    Paul tells us in Ephesians that we should be imitators of God. God is love so therefore if we are to imitate Him, we become love. This message is about imitating LOVE.

    Imitators of Love Scripture: Matthew 24:10-12; Ephesians 4:31-5:2; First John 4:1-6 The title of my message this morning is “Imitators of Love” and the idea for this message came to me from a message my brother Barry delivered a couple of weeks ago at his Church. Barry’s message, titled ...read more

    Children - Gifts From God

    Contributed by Wilson Oshorakpor on Feb 16, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 7,894 views

    Children are gifts from God. Christian parents should recognise that they are care givers, trusted with a charge to raise and nurture godly children for God. It is an arduous but rewarding task if properly executed.

    TEXT: PSALMS 127:3-5 (NLT) "Children are a gift from the LORD; they are a reward from him. Children born to a young man are like arrows in a warrior’s hands. How joyful is the man whose quiver is full of them! He will not be put to shame when he confronts his accusers at the city ...read more

    This teaching message is for every pastor's wife and woman whose husband is in Christian ministry leadership. It reveals the qualities that they should have to be effective in church ministry alongside their spouses.

    This message is part of a series published in my book, "Lessons and Encouraging Words for Today's Christian Woman." It is a crucial message that I feel led to share, particularly with women in church and ministry leadership roles, particularly pastors' wives. Being a ...read more

    Carrots, Eggs, Or Coffee: Responding To Adversity

    Contributed by Fr. Rian Adams on Nov 17, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,550 views

    This sermon focuses on what Jesus told the disciples they should do when the destruction of the temple would occur. It's a practical and applicable look at ways to endure difficulties.

    Carrots, Eggs, and Coffee: Responding to Adversity I’m a sucker for those cheesy “There’s good news/bad news” jokes. I heard one this week that I’m compelled to pass along… An art gallery owner said to a local artist, “I have some good news and some bad news.” The artist asked, “What’s the good ...read more

     | 2,214 views

    Will persecution against Christians intensify in the days ahead? If so, will we be ready to stand strong in our testimony of Christ? This message processes seven preparations we should be making now.

    Intro We have been discussing the final, eighth, beatitude found in Matthew 5:10: “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”i Last week we addressed two preparations for potential persecution. First, expect it. It will happen in the ...read more

    God's will for all believers is to be thankful in every circumstances. Whether pleasant or unpleasant, we should give thanks to the one who alone knows the end from the beginning.

    TEXT: 1 Thessalonians 5:18 NLT "Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus." ALWAYS GIVE THANKS TO GOD If you are a disciple of Christ, God's will for your life is for you to be thankful in all circumstances. You will face trails, ...read more

    Who Was God Trying To Catch?

    Many times when we read the story of Jonah, our focus is on the significance of the great fish. But should that be our focus? This message looks at the message of Jonah that we often miss.

    Tonight, we’re going to have an opportunity to get into a story that’s very familiar to all of us. But I want to look at it from the vantage point of “Who was God trying to catch?” The Holy Spirit speaks to each one of us and He speaks to us individually with words specifically to us. But there ...read more

    Generosity

     | 10,885 views

    Generosity is a fruit (gift) of the Holy Spirit and we all have some of this gift dwelling within us. We should work it out and start giving to worthy persons or causes.

    GENEROSITY What is generosity? the quality of being kind and generous. Generosity: giving your attention, time, abilities, money, and compassion freely to others. We often think of generosity as the decision to donate money to a worthy cause or buy a meal for someone on the street. Those are ...read more

    How should we prepare for the birthday of King Jesus? John the Baptist calls us to repentance, to preparing the way for him into our lives and making straight a highway into our hearts.

    [Sermon preached on 17 December 2017, 3rd Sunday in Advent / 3rd year, ELCF Lectionary] Every year again I am surprised how much time and energy goes into preparing for Christmas. So many things to do… and in the end so few things that really matter. The famous American author John Grisham wrote ...read more

    How should the saints of the Risen Saviour Live when the society in which they are found is decaying and disintegrating into a putrid mess? They must be vigilant to be holy and righteous, glorifying their God in all things.

    “I will make boys their princes, and infants shall rule over them. And the people will oppress one another, every one his fellow and every one his neighbor; the youth will be insolent to the elder, and the despised to the honorable. “The look on their faces bears witness against them; they ...read more

     | 2,344 views

    I realize that we are already past the Christmas season, but the action of the wise men and their desire to worship our Lord Jesus should be an example to us as we begin this new year.

    Alba 1-8-2023 THE WORSHIP OF THE WISEMEN Matthew 2:1-12 Three small boys were in a Christmas play. They were the three wise men, and they had to give their gifts to Jesus.

    Right in the middle of warning the ones who were being lazy and taking advantage of others, Paul tells the church that it should not discourage them from doing what was right and good.

    Alba 4-21-2024 DO NOT GROW WEARY IN DOING GOOD II Thessalonians 3:6-15 You may have heard the quote: “Do all the good you can, to all the people you can, in all the ways you can, as often as you can, and as long as you can.” I was looking up that quote and found that it has been attributed to ...read more

    Free To Choose - Suffering Over Sin Series

     | 452 views

    How should we live in a world that is hostile to Christianity? Not by adopting the culture around us uncritically, nor by rejecting the world completely, but by engaging with the world while guarding against sin.

    This morning, we continue with our study of First Peter. As a reminder, 1 Peter is a general epistle, meaning that it was a letter written to Christians in general, rather than to a specific church body. The first verse of the letter tells us that it was written: “To God’s elect, exiles scattered ...read more
