    A Battle-Ready Christian

    Contributed by Major Stewart on Dec 26, 2025
     | 657 views

    A powerful expository sermon from 1 Timothy 6:11–16 calling believers to live with conviction, holiness, and courage. This message challenges the church to flee compromise, pursue godliness, fight for the faith, and stand battle-ready in Christ’s victory.

    A BATTLE-READY CHRISTIAN Text: 1 Timothy 6:11–16 There comes a moment in every believer’s life when God stops whispering and starts charging. Not suggesting. Not hinting. But charging. This is not casual instruction. This is holy assignment. This is not a word for convenience. This is a word for ...read more

    Lessons From Jeremiah – Part 23 – The Religious Classes Were Superficial And Acted Corruptly – Challenges – Greedy And False Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jun 6, 2024
     | 722 views

    Living in a society where all is greed and false is not pleasant, but when this is worst among the religious class, it is especially wicked. Jeremiah faced this problem. The arrogance of today’s western world is almost unbelievable. Serious problems are addressed superficially.

    Christianity Looks Good On You

     | 3,813 views

    Christianity looks good on you. Dress it up!

    Christians can either make or break the face of Christianity in the outside world. In our generation, we may not agree with it, but the world looks at Christianity as a brand of religion; like a brand of clothing, or shoes, or any material with “covered with spiritual icing.” The world has been ...read more

    Don't Be A Show Off

    This could be used as a stewardship sermon and hopefully would get people to realize that their is more to being a Christian than just filling a pew. Hopefully this sermon compels people to look beyond the superficial and truly look to their heart.

    (a note about the opening illustration; It is not my own but i don't know where I actually found it originally, it is tucked away with some notes I have.) There was a man who called a church and asked if he could speak to the Head Hog at the trough. The secretary said, "Who?" Then ...read more

    Christianity offers what people long for, so Christians can confidently project and defend their worldview!

    Christian, Defend your Worldview! February 3, 2001 Why does it seem that Christians are always having to defend themselves, in our society and always having to answer for being Christians?

    To see a change in our world today, we need to PRAY and PROCLAIM Christ. Pray is to talk to God for men, and proclaim is to talk to men for God.

    2 Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. 3 And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains. 4 Pray that I may proclaim it clearly, as I should. 5 Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; ...read more

     | 3,372 views

    To profit from the Word requires an action of faith. Reading, hearing and receiving the Word passively and superficially is of no profit to a person.

    FAITH’S RESPONSE TO THE WORD FOR OPTIMAL PROFIT Hebrews 4:2 “For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it” “The Word preached did not profit them…” What a fearful declaration!

    Make your choice…Christ offers you His yoke, His cross, His crown. The devil can give you wealth, pleasure, and a curse. If you choose the crown, you must content yourself to submit to the cross and the yoke which are all linked to each other. So what do

    Intro: Briefly discuss religious and national symbols. Explain the Christian flag. Instead of just one main symbol—the cross, I propose three, and these are: the YOKE, CROSS and CROWN. Let us examine each of these word pictures and learn some insightful lessons from their spiritual meanings. I. ...read more
