    Jesus's Simple Plan For Evangelism And Church Planting Series

    Contributed by James Smith on Nov 19, 2001
    based on 110 ratings
     | 11,149 views

    This is a sermon based on my testimony of how the Lord called me to start a church, and our biblical pattern for ministry & evangelism. Practical points are made on how we are called, how God fullfills that calling, and suggestions for church planting.

    Introduction: It’s funny how the Lord has us in the palm of His hand. How he knows what we can do, and plans the future for us. Some times this even involves what seems like catastrophe. We were in the middle of a cell group barbecue at our friends the Grants. The children are playing, the ...read more

    A Simple, Difficult And Necessary Question; A Christmas Reflection

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Dec 26, 2012
     | 2,752 views

    It’s Spiritually necessary for us to contemplate our journey with God and ask one simple question with huge implications. “Have I sold out my life for Jesus?”

    I enjoy a Christmas Eve service. I find it ironic though that most of us perceive this service as being a quiet and reflective time. Of course Christmas is the celebration of Jesus’ birthday, so it’s great we have candles, but, don’t you find it kind of odd that we celebrate his ...read more

    “It’s that Simple. It’s that Complicated” John 13:1-5, 12-15, 34-35 Have you ever taken a moment to think about how totally profound this encounter is between Jesus and His disciples on the night that Jesus was betrayed?

     | 2,917 views

    The disciples of Jesus wanted to be great in the kingdom. Some people criticize the disciples for even asking the question. Jesus consider it normal and shows them a better way and a better attitude. It is normal to desire promote, achievement and elevation.

    Sermon: Three Simple Rules To Greatness - The Greatest in the Kingdom Scripture: Matthew 18:1-11 “About that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?” 2 Jesus called a little child to him and put the child among them.3 Then he said, “I tell you the ...read more

    You're Not Simple, And Neither Is God

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Jun 14, 2025
     | 223 views

    People want a "simple religion" and want to make God simple. Yet we ourselves are not simple at all, so how could our Creator be? Though God is complex, in Trinity, he displays for us love within that union, a love which models for us the love we should have for each other.

    Good Morning. Give me a simple religion. It’s what a lot of people want, and it’s what a lot of people have tried to turn Christianity into through the years. Of course, if someone calls US simple, we are very offended. Yet somehow, we think the God who made us has to be simpler than we are. I am ...read more

     | 288 views

    Jesus speaks here about "salt." It seems a simple word picture but it's more complicated than it first appears. What is Jesus trying to teach us here?

    - I’m going to take a deep dive into the words of Jesus here about salt. - At one level, this seems a simple metaphor. But I have long been frustrated that the actual words used here create some confusion. I leave with more questions than answers. Thus, I want to use this as an opportunity to dig ...read more

    Jesus turns from silence about His achievements to open speaking about His death. He will not follow the ambition path, the pleasure path, or the easy spirituality path.

    You can admire Jesus, you can think well of Jesus, you can even love Jesus. But you cannot domesticate Him, you cannot tame Him, you cannot make Him sweet and nice and pretty. He is who He is and He says what He says, and sometimes it’s hard to take. In my experience, just about everybody out ...read more

    Every church needs to take this message to heart because one of the most tragic characteristics of modern society is pride and self-sufficiency.

    I said last time that in Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians concerning what to do about their divided church, Paul gives 11 answers to their problem. The first answer, Paul said, was the cross. If the church would refocus on their purpose based upon the cross, the church would begin to ...read more
