Sermons on Togeatherness Of The Church:

A Reckless Path Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Apr 8, 2022

In Revelation 2:14 Balaam is a warning to the church. An insider causing the destruction. Beware of someone on the reckless path causing the church to compromise from within. It is the ultimate sell-out.

The story of Balaam is a fascinating one. What you might think of first with Balaam is that he was the prophet whose donkey spoke to him. It was incredible and there is nothing else quite like it in the Bible. Balaam is significant in Old Testament history and for the New Testament church. There ...read more

Do You Show Partiality?

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 26, 2022

This message looks at four different types of partiality that take place in churches: Class, Geographic, Racial, and Denominational discrimination. Prejudice in the church displeases the Lord, it is unjust and a complete travesty!

Last Sunday was recognized on the SBC calendar as Racial Reconciliation Sunday, and so I want to share something applicable today. I’ve entitled our message, “Do You Show Partiality?” and this is actually a question for each of us here today. According to Noah Webster, in the 1828 American ...read more

Not Just For Sundays Anymore Series

Contributed by Brian Vickers on Oct 26, 2022

Many in the church grew up with "Sunday only" forms of discipleship that were confined to the local church setting. But discipleship isn't just for Sundays.

For all my growing up and young adult years we equated the idea of discipleship with one thing: Sunday School. That meant that people came together on Sunday mornings, sat in classes mostly segregated by age groups, and learned about the Bible. Like we said a few weeks back, it was a Sunday thing. ...read more

Principle Of Harvest

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 25, 2024

When the church sows an immature, diluted, hybrid and substandard seed, DO NOT expect to reap a mature and strong church of Christ. What kind of disciples did Jesus have?

Opening Illustration: Somewhere in the world right now a farmer is dropping seeds into the ground. Soon those seeds will begin to germinate where they were planted. The carefully prepared soil that appears barren today will become a field ready for harvest. This prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi ...read more

Just Say No!

Unity Of Purpose

Contributed by Pastor Amos Dele Dada on Jun 11, 2020

God help the bride of Christ, the church and the body of Christ today is my sincere prayer. Can you imagine the fragmentation, cacophony, disunity that the church today is engulfed in?
