    Establishing A Covenant Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 7, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,689 views

    When a church begins growing, and when people of differing backgrounds come together, it can result in chaos without established rules. Properly communicated expectations within a membership covenant can hold people accountable.

    If and when we begin sharing our faith and as we begin gaining spiritual territory for the Lord, then our church will grow as more and more people are added. This means we will be in charge of leading those who are new to our fellowship; and when people of differing backgrounds come together, it ...read more

    The Galatians were clothed with Christ, but they'd been convinced that Jesus wasn't enough. Someone had told them they needed to follow rules and laws to be acceptable to God. Why was that false?

    OPEN: Jesus told a parable about KING who invited everybody to his son’s wedding. Now, I’ve been told that the custom of the day was for the host to supply his guests with appropriate wedding garments, but Matthew 22:11 tells us “when the king came in to look at the guests, he saw there a man who ...read more

    The Beauty Of Christian Life

    The reason why many Christians, who claim to be holy, look miserable and depressed and long-faced is that they try to produce a sort of holiness by themselves through some rules made by men. They live again under law.

    The happiest person ever walked on the face of this earth is Jesus Christ. This doesn’t mean that He was the wealthiest, healthiest, most handsome and most influential person ever lived! But the joy of his life was centred completely on his trust in his Father (God Almighty). Jesus was not moved ...read more

     | 312 views

    Sometimes I feel a sermon I could never preach. This is one of them. The Jezebel Spirit tries to rule the spiritual atmosphere. Beware, the 10 gradual downward spiral that can become a trap. The crucible is sure.

    Benedictine Monks had rules for just how much each monk was to eat in the monastery. But if one monk takes more than his share of the limited food, another monk goes without dinner lunch.

    The King On The Throne Series

    Contributed by Paul Dayao on Sep 25, 2025
     | 141 views

    This sermon explores the ultimate demonstration of God's power in the resurrection and supreme exaltation of Christ, who now rules over all creation and has been given as a gift to be the Head of His body, the church.

    Introduction We’ve all seen images of a presidential inauguration. It’s a moment of immense significance, where a leader officially takes their oath and assumes the highest office in the land. At that moment, all the authority of the state is publicly vested in them. Their word becomes law, and ...read more

    Teaching the importance of church membership for those who are redeemed.

    Christ said He overcame the world. We have been charged with the same purpose. But how do we do it?

    I think I was seven or eight years old when my mother became concerned enough about the lack of a church background for my younger sister and I that she began to take us to church. We drove 20 minutes to the nearest Presbyterian Church and on one of those first Sundays I found myself in a large ...read more

    Following The Shepherd Part 4 Of 6

    based on 14 ratings
     | 2,163 views

    Some feel they are better than others. They don’t hurt people, lead a good life and don’t break the rules. Comparing ourselves to “others” we might think we might look pretty righteous.

    Following the Shepherd Ps 23 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. 3 He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of ...read more

    The Scriptures Inspired

     | 3,803 views

    Scripture is verbally inspired of God and is the revelation of God to man, the infallible, authoritative rule of faith and conduct. The world is trying it’s best to live without the Bible, unfortunately too many Christians attempt the same thing.

    The Scriptures Inspired Intro.: There are incredible stories of wealthy people who live in poverty (not wanting to spend their own money). Whereas, we, as Christians, live as paupers when we have the greatest wealth in the world, the Bible. The Bible has been a target for persecution for ...read more

    Scriptural principles to make life better. 1- Stay cool, don’t blow your cool 2- Try faith, don’t let faithlessness rule 3- Be possessed, don’t give in to obsession

    INTRO.- ILL.- I like the story about the preacher who had a microphone in his hand as he preached, and as he moved around the platform he would jerk the cord as he went. Then he moved to one side, getting wound up in the cord and nearly tripping before jerking it again. After several circles ...read more

    Father Abraham spoke to his “oldest servant of His house, who ruled over all…” This servant was his most reliable and faithful. Father Abraham gave to this servant the complete responsibility of finding the bride for his son.

    HERE COMES THE BRIDE Perhaps the story of how you and your sweetheart met and fell in love is similar to mine. When it comes to meeting, dating and marrying that special someone (in our American culture) – we don’t do. Things quite like they did in Genesis 24. Actually our parents (probably) had ...read more

    The parable of the Lost Coin, Lost Sheep and Two Lost sons is about God’s grace. The youngest found direction in the midst of the choas of his life. Jesus is reminding the Pharisees that God does not play by their rules of acceptance.

    In Jesus Holy Name March 14, 2010 Text: Luke 15:1-6 Redeemer “In the Chaos of Life….

     | 6,268 views

    The freedom that Christ brings from legalism (strict adherence to the law) is critical for us to see today. This sermon leads us in answering the question: "How exhausting is it to pretend to be free, but live as a prisoner to other’s rules?"

    Jesus is Lord! Mark 2:1-27 Introduction - Jesus is demonstrated in this book as a “servant” -- He is the ultimate servant; giving Himself clearly for all who will receive -- Key verse: Mark 10:45, “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to ...read more

     | 6,044 views

    Joy is one of the essential marks of God’s Spirit ruling and reigning in us. Read this sermon to find out how joy will grow in us as we apply the principles taught in God's word about Joy!

    Intro: Joy is not syrupy or sappy, sentimental or seasonal. Joy is not happiness, because happiness depends on what happens to you. Joy is also not the absence of sorrow. Joy is a vivid emotion of pleasure or state of being highly delighted. Where does this state or emotion come from? Joy is ...read more
