    Creating Revival Series

    Contributed by Thomas Clawser on Mar 18, 2002
    based on 174 ratings
     | 9,421 views

    Revival in the church starts with believers who understand the true purpose of the church - evangelism of the lost!

    1. Introduction A. REVIVAL is defined as a reawakening of religious fervor; a resurgence, or renewal, of commitment and purpose. B. It has been suggested that the church is “flat”, and in desperate need of revival. We won’t debate that point tonight, we will assume we can agree on that C. Many ...read more

    Christ desires our sanctification individually, but there are also goals for the church corporately--what are they?

    I Peter 2:4-10 “Coming to the Living Stone” Intro—Most of you are aware, I’m sure, of the recent scandal involving the bankruptcy of Enron Corporation and the alleged wrongdoing by its highest officials in inflating the apparent profit of the company in order to make money for themselves.

    Christ's Farewell

     | 15,043 views

    Many times a "final" farewell surrounds the death of a friend or loved one, but Christ’s farewell was about comfort, vision, and encouragement to his disciples and the Church.

    Have you ever spoken with someone knowing it was the last time you would see them and your last opportunity to speak with them? I remember having that type of conversation with a cousin several years ago. He was dying from a terminal disease, and Paula and I made the trip to see and speak with Pat ...read more

    Who Is Jesus

    Contributed by Jeff Ruth on May 25, 2003
    based on 70 ratings
     | 9,275 views

    We need to get our minds off of sharing gossip, recipes, and social sagas and get them on sharing Jesus.

    WHO IS JESUS One of the saddest things happening in this country today has to do with churches. Today church houses are more of a social club than a place where God’s people gather together to repent, fellowship, praise, and worship Him. You hear people all of the time talking about what’s ...read more

    This sermon is the first in a series which looks at the Church of Acts and challenges modern-day Christians to take their faith to the edge!

    Folks, why are you here this morning? I mean, honestly, what brings you to this place? What makes you want to get up and come here and spend an hour sitting in that uncomfortable pew? Is it the opportunity to see your friends and family? Is it your belief that by doing so you’re fulfilling your ...read more

    God gave gifts for the building up of the Church. Apostles prophets, evangelists, pastors, teachers. (#14 in the Unfathomable Love of Christ series)

    “And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ; until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, ...read more

    Universality Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jun 11, 2003
    based on 23 ratings
     | 13,338 views

    Thanks to Constantine’s move, the church gradually began to think of its universality as power rather than as an evangelical mandate. Christ is to be lord of our political life, our cultural life, our everyday life -- every aspect.

    Christ is lord of all! What a bold statement! Maybe even an arrogant statement! Lord of all? Do we believe that? It was said of one preacher that “for tender minds he served up half a Christ.” Behind that lie two realities – first, that many of us don’t want the full gospel, we’d rather just ...read more

    What is peace, how do we get it, and what are the consequences if we do not obtain authentic peace?

    Peace. All I want is an hour of peace! If I could just shut out the noise, pull the plug on the telephone, and send everybody packing for a couple of days, I’d be all right. Have you ever said that? Have you ever felt as though you were on the very edge of falling into an abyss? You were in ...read more

     | 13,885 views

    We must buy into what God is doing by taking part ownership.

    Acts 9:1 Then Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest 2 and asked letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, so that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem. 3 As he ...read more

    Acts 6: 6 So he, trembling and astonished, said, "Lord, what do You want me to do?" Then the Lord said to him, "Arise and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do." 7 And the men who journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice but seeing no one. 8 Then Saul arose from the ...read more
