The Holy Spirit: The Gift Of Unity

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Mar 27, 2010

Delivered in 1986, shortly after pastoral call. The Spirit gives us unity in a time of riskiness and danger. That gift is more than unanimity; it is dedication to God's purposes.

Not everything in every sermon has to be communicated in words. Words and speech are only a part of the way you get a message across. A part of what you folks receive is not only what you hear, but also what you see. What you see and what you pick up just from being here is certainly a part of the ...read more

Studies In Genesis: Chapter 49 Series

Contributed by Edward Hardee on Oct 18, 2011

This is a study of the book of Genesis. Genesis and Revelation are two of the most disputed books in the Bible. The premise of this study is the foundation of creation.

Note: When doing a study on a book in the Bible you use a lot of resources. The major influence for me on this study of Genesis is The Genesis Record by Henry Morris. Genesis 49 1. And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you [that] which shall ...read more

Peter And Easter

Contributed by James Hickman on Mar 19, 2016

How did Peter greet the first Easter? His failure before the crucifixion may have kept him from fully appreciating what Easter meant. Using the clues given in the gospels and elsewhere, the sermon discusses how Jesus dealt with Peter's failure and fear.

Peter and Easter Luke 24:12 Though the women told and retold the story of their experience at the empty tomb, the Eleven and the other disciples didn't believe them. It was just too incredible. Yet, Peter seems to have decided something must have happened at the tomb and determined to find out ...read more

A Starting Place For Successful Ministry

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Sep 9, 2019

The Apostle Paul who had invested so much in the life of young Timothy, helps him prepare for a new beginning by offering him a starting place for success. I believe this is also a starting place for successful ministers as we prepare others to make it on their own.

Sermon: A Starting Place for Successful Ministry Scripture: 1 Timothy 2:1-6 1Ti 2:1 ¶ I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and ...read more
