    A challenge to help your congregation realize that they have a responsinbility to get in the game themselves instead of settling for a sideline faith.

    Don’t Settle for a Sideline Faith – Get in the Game! 1 John 1:1-9 It is possible to attend church your entire life and still spend eternity in hell. That’s a shocking statement! I suspect some might disagree with it at first, but it is the truth. It is possible to attend church your entire ...read more

    Contributed by Winson Butler on Jul 28, 2004
    based on 14 ratings
     | 2,491 views

    A man who carries a cat by the tail learns something he can learn no other way! Sin is the same way. When it sidelines us we discover how it breaks our fellowship with God. We see this in the life of Sampson. Let’s study it together!

    Introduction "Out of bounds" That’s what every referee says when your foot crossses the little unforbidden white line. The sad thing is, when this occurs, not only are we, the player out of bounds but the whole team, the coach and the fans are too! Often times, others are penalized because of our ...read more

    based on 9 ratings
     | 2,015 views

    Success lies not in achieving what you aim at but in aiming at what you ought to achieve. Samson missed the mark. His aim was his pleasures. It cost him the ultimate sacrifice, his life. It’s easy to see ourselves through his mistakes. Let’s examine it to

    Introduction The name Samson comes from the Hebrew word meaning "strong" His life was to be an example of strength and honor. We can divide his life into three equal parts: 1. His Conception 2. His Calling 3. His Corruption When all is said and done, Samson was sidelined by sin. He was to be an ...read more

    If you want to know where your life is headed then take a look at those you associate with. Samson ignored the warning signs. The cost of low living is always high, let’s see why.

    Introduction More often than not, many are so short sighted in their walk with the Lord that they are looking only as far as their next fleshly pleasure. The cost of low living is high! We have the best example of this in the life of Samson. He failed to heed the warning signs. He could of ...read more

    We are Christ followers. We are not, Christ fans. Fans sit on the sidelines followers get into are active on the field of play. It is time to get off the sideline. It is time to Seize the Day, Twenty-four Seven! Updated August 2018.

    based on 6 ratings
     | 20,839 views

    How is it possible for believers, or even entire congregations to sideline themselves and keep from being part of what God is doing?

    Each chapter of Jonah has a story to tell. In chapter one, we read a story of rebellion. In chapter two, we read a story of repentance. In chapter three, we read a story of revival. Now, let’s look to chapter four. (READ TEXT) We would think the story of Jonah would have ended on the high note ...read more

     | 1,976 views

    A message based on the assertion that the Church cannot sit on the sidelines in the political process, since many of the issues are not political issues, but moral and biblical ones.

    Why Christians MUST Be Involved in the Political Process Various Scriptures October 22, 2006 Introduction Well, you can tell from the title that I’m going to discuss politics again.

    Thanksgiving is not a quiet game. It’s not us sitting on the sidelines. It’s not sitting on the back row. It’s actively participating.

    Make a joyful shout to the LORD, all you lands! - 100:1 How would you describe our worship to the Lord? Worship is to be joyful and expressive. “Make a joyful noise to the Lord; shout joyfully to the Lord.” As we come into this Thanksgiving week, we look at what is one of the most beloved and ...read more

     | 274 views

    There is three times Jesus went further into the Garden of Gethsemane until He received the Father’s perspective, guidance, strength, and peace. And if we want the same, we need to go further in with Jesus. We’ll also look at the two types of Christians this story reveals.

    Time to Engage “Going Further In” Matthew 26:36-46 On our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blblLUL6ioQ Today, I’d like to use this message as a transition from our last or third word in our vision, “Engage,” to the fourth word, “Elevate.” And in our next series we’ll be looking ...read more

    Unknown? Overlooked? Talented? Gifted? Able? Yes!! It is time to quit riding the pine, get off the sidelines, quit being a benchwarmer and get in the game!

    Bench Warmers Pt. 1 - What Are You Waiting For? I. Introduction We all love the superstar! The super talented athlete who dominates the field or the court. It is their jerseys that sell out.
