    Preaching Your Sermon - True Ministers Regurgitate, Or Do They – Should They Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on May 19, 2024
     | 394 views

    Here, we are sharing some thoughts about church ministry especially the tendency to preach on what someone else has done because one has not bothered to study for oneself. Every situation is specific to its own church but here are general principles.

    PREACHING YOUR SERMON - TRUE MINISTERS REGURGITATE, OR DO THEY – SHOULD THEY? I keep some finches and just recently one pair had babies. It is interesting the way the Lord has arranged for the babies to be fed. I think most people have noticed the method used by birds as the young are fed. ...read more

    based on 37 ratings
     | 9,092 views

    Forsaking all past achievements and human advantages, St. Paul strains ahead to be found in Christ; this striving is by faith, and results in an imputed righteousness from God, a sharing in the sufferings of Christ, Christlikeness and participation in the resurrection of the dead.

    “Forgetting what’s behind. Straining for what’s ahead.” April 1, 2001 The Rev’d Quintin Marrow St. Anne’s Episcopal Church Oceanside, California The Text: Phil. 3:8-14 In sixteenth-century France, the start of the new year was observed on April first. It was celebrated ...read more

    A common question, frequently asked by people who have been indoctrinated with evolutionary concepts through school, higher education and the media is; ‘Should Christians believe in Evolution?’

    In many nations of the West, the Word of God was once widely respected and taken seriously. It’s still taken seriously in many nations in the southern hemisphere. But once the door of compromise was unlocked and Christian leaders conceded we shouldn’t take the Bible as written in Genesis, it ...read more

    The scribes and the skeptics were amazed at his teaching. The hungry and hurting were amazed by his miracles. An adulterer and her accusers were amazed by his love. And two millennia later, Jesus is no less amazing. But what amazes Jesus?

    Amazing Jesus (2) Scott Bayles, pastor Blooming Grove Christian Church: 1/19/2014 The Bible tells us, “On the day when the Lord Jesus comes, all the people who have believed will be amazed at Jesus” (2 Thessalonians 1:10). Amazed at Jesus. Not amazed at angels or mansions or new ...read more

    Numbed by the wickedness around, we can become ignorant of the hurting and suffering people in our world. Jerusalem was grossly corrupt and injustice thrived. The world must learn from this but it is not going so. Injustice and violence are everywhere. Wrath is coming.

    Looks at Paul's comparison between the Church and the body of Christ.

It’s too fat or too skinny, too short or too tall. Bumpy, lumpy or just plain ugly kind of like the guy who was so ugly ...read more
