    Two Broke Preachers

    Contributed by Spencer Miller on May 6, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 25,570 views

    Peter and John were just two broke preachers but they were God’s preachers and that's what made the difference.

    Introduction: When Jesus called on His disciples, He did not sit them down one by one to negotiate their salary. He did not ask them for a resume, He did not ask them for a reference because no one knew them better than He did. There’s no explanation in the Bible as why He chose His twelve ...read more

    This sermon is inspired by the movie beginning on March 20, 2015 by the same title. It uses Thomas and the story of his "doubting" in his faith-believing following Jesus' resurrection. It leaves us with the question, "Do you believe?"

    It is always right to do the right thing, even if it is difficult. Jesus never said the Christian life would be easy. Remember, the symbol of the Christian life is a cross.
