    The Ultimate Sacrifice INTRODUCTION It is said that Cyrus, the founder of the Persian Empire, once had captured a prince and his family. When they came before him, the monarch asked the prisoner, “What will you give me if I release you?” “The half of my wealth,” was his reply. “And if I release ...read more

    The question before us is, can your difficulties advance the gospel? They threw the Apostle Paul in prison thinking they could stop the advancement of the gospel. According to Paul this only blazed a trail for the preaching of the Gospel.

    Introduction The question before us is, can your difficulties advance the gospel? Can you Imagine if you came to church this morning and rather than being greeted at the door and coming in. Instead, you found the doors of the church were barred shut. You came and found military police outside ...read more

    Too Wide To Hide

    Preached in a church of another denomination for Christian Unity Sunday and Martin Luther King Sunday: we tend to hide our own history and to conceal our witness. But God calls us into a wider ministry.

    I’m not sure how it is among Methodists, but we Baptist folks have a strange custom of hiding when we come to church. We hide. We try to get in and get out without being noticed. I don’t know whether Methodists are infected with this disease, but with Baptists it is an epidemic. We hide. ...read more

    Paul often changed his style of preaching. (1 Cor. 9:22) But he NEVER changed his message. (Gal. 1:8) There is only one message. (1 Cor. 2:2)

    The Message of the Cross Series: Studies from 1 Corinthians 1:18–31 1 Corinthians INTRODUCTION Illustration: Once there was a little girl who always wore a bright, shiny cross around her neck which she proudly displayed for all to see.

    Pray And Believe! Series

     | 6,539 views

    Based on the Parable of the Persistent widow, this sermon encourages people to pray and pray and pray again. We preached these sermons in conjunction with the Pray 21 project that brings youth and adults together to pray for 21 days.

    BELIEVE AND PRAY! Believe and pray! This may sound backwards. Should we not pray believing that God will answer our prayers? Yes, but this simple little exercise of semantics puts the foundation of faith before the act of prayer. Many of us pray but few of us believe that our prayers will be ...read more

    The tithe is a hot ticket item in today’s churches – particularly in those churches that preach a connection between wealth and God’s blessing. The tithe, in their view, is the investment strategy of heaven. Is this an accurate portrayal of the tithe?

    The Little Drummer Boy Leviticus 27:20-32 Cascades Fellowship CRC, JX MI September 21, 2003 We see their smiling faces on the television. Silky smooth voice, great digs, hair just so, offering the promise of health and wealth. The key? The tithe. Offer your tithe unto the Lord – that is, to ...read more

    A series of sermons on "What Would Jesus Hate?" This idea came from Tim Harlow at a convention. I preached Tim Harlow’s stuff on judging sinners and disciple dividing. This is my stuff on legalism.

    Evening Service for 8/8/2010 “What Would Jesus Hate? Legalism” HoHum: One Sunday afternoon there was a drunken man who was staggering down a country path. He came upon a baptismal service at a pond. There were many to be baptized that day and the drunk, not knowing what was going on, got in the ...read more

    Each item in Revelation has a specific meaning as they depict real locations and times that are verifiable with Scripture. In this study we have the introduction of two witnesses who appear during the Tribulation to preach the Gospel to the world.

    The Two Witnesses, Part 1 Revelation, Part 13, Revelation 11:1-3 Introduction - John receives specific orders that he must continue spreading the Gospel! -- Even though he is being shown a glimpse of the end of time as we know it -- He is still being told by God that spreading the Word ...read more

    What caused Christ to declare, “Wherever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she has done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her”? What made her action so lasting?

    A Lasting Memorial Mark 14:3-9 Much of what one does in life is quickly forgotten; very little if anything being remembered by subsequent generations. In Mark’s gospel we have the action of a woman, identified in Matthew and John as Mary, which has lasted for scores of generations; a deed which ...read more

    Church as it was meant to be, chose to endure hardship.

    A sermon for the 3rd Sunday in Advent preached 12/12/2009. It had a dual text, the other is John 3:7-18 and shows us how we as Christians can rejoice in repentance!

    “Rejoice in the Lord always, again, I will say Rejoice!” That’s how our Epistle reading for this morning begins. In fact, the traditional Latin name for this Sunday in Advent is Gaudete, meaning, Joy, based on that verse, which was for years a portion of the Introit for the day. Yet, joy is ...read more
