    Evangelism According To Zechariah Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Jul 26, 2022
     | 2,374 views

    What is needed for effective evangelism? In this exposition of Zechariah 8:14-23, we are given abiding principles for reaching the lost. Message interprets the passage in its historical context, then discusses the application for today.

    Intro Our text today begins in Zechariah 8:14. There are ten oracles in this chapter. Last week we examined oracle #6 in verses 9-13. There God encouraged His people to take heart. During their 16 years of disobedience, times were hard for them. But under Haggai’s and Zechariah’s preaching, they ...read more

    Mark 7:24-30 tells a powerful story about a woman who needed a desperate intervention in her life. A woman whose young daughter had an unclean spirit and heard about him. She says, "Have mercy on me, o son of David: for my daughter is grievously vexed with a demon".

    1 John 3:8, it tells us, "For this purpose the Son of God was manifested". Now when you read John's gospel in the first chapter it tells us very clearly, "In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God. And nothing was created without him". ...read more

    A sermon for closing out the old year by realizing that "the end of a thing is better than it’s beginning." (Ecc. 7:8)

    As I reflected on the end of the year and what to say to you in this last Sunday morning sermon of 2001, I thought of Solomon’s words in Ecclesiastes 7:8 “The end of a thing is better than its beginning;” Now I know some brethren would like to say that a proper translation of that verse is that the ...read more

    Just as wine has its own unique vintage so does your life. Each year that you have lived so far has a kind of vintage by which you grade it. Some were very good years, robust and full of flavor. Others were off years not too sweet but palatable. Other

    If you desire to see a change in 2013, you have to be willing to make a change in 2013. You cannot expect to do the same old thing, the same old way , and expect to have a different out come.

    What to expect for 2013? Introduction- Good morning everyone, I hope that you have survived the hectic time of present opening, over-eating, being sleep depraved, and sugar overload.

    Trial Brings Unspeakable Blessings

    Contributed by Adewale B T Shittu on May 16, 2013
    based on 8 ratings
     | 17,798 views

    The blessings from God is a covenant promise, but when a man is chosen by God for a greater blessing, then trial is a necessity. Every man in the Word of God that entered into a realm of rise and shine, expansion and explosion was tried.

    Beloved, God is a giver of blessings. God is conditioned to bless His own people. He has the liberty to bless whosoever He wishes to bless and He is a distributor of divine blessings. In Genesis 1:28, the word of God declared ’And God bless them and said, be fruitful and mulitiply and ...read more

    Peter has good intentions, but they are not in agreement with God's ultimate plan. We must covenant to deny ourselves and align ourselves to God's will and ways.

    WE MAY HAVE HEARD THIS FAMILIAR SAYING: “THE ROAD TO HELL IS PAVED WITH GOOD INTENTIONS.” AN INTENTION IS SIMPLY A PLAN OR GOAL WE HOPE TO ACCOMPLISH. IRONICALLY, INTENTIONS DON’T ACHIEVE ANYTHING. THEY ARE MERELY IDEAS AND DREAMS OF SPECIFIC THINGS THAT WE’D LIKE TO SEE DONE IN THE ...read more
