    The greatness of Abraham was not moral perfection, but in getting back to God and believing again.

    FATHER OF ALL THE FAITHFUL. Romans 4:11-18 11 So Abraham is the spiritual father of those who have faith but have not been circumcised. They are made right with God by faith. 12 And Abraham is also the spiritual father of those who have been circumcised, but only if they have the same kind of ...read more

    The parable of the talents has more importance than we often understand. We used this sermon as a way of introducing gift centered ministries.

    OPEN: We use numbers all the time without knowing their significance or their meaning. For example: How many feet in a mile (5280 feet). Do you know why? The term mile come from the Latin word "mille" - meaning 1000. To the Romans it was the distance a soldier could cover in 1000 paces - about ...read more

    A sermon that explains what faith is for the believer, and what it can be for the seeker.

    What is Faith? Heb. 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Rom. 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Col. 1:4 Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have to all the ...read more

    This is a farewell sermon that I preahced to my previous congregation.

    RESPONDING BY FAITH Text: Genesis 12:1-9 It is truly interesting that the last Sunday before moving day in the South Carolina Methodist Conference corresponds to this text of Genesis 12:1-9 that is a suggested text of the lectionary.

    Creating an atmosphere of faith can change how we view a Sunday service.

    An Atmosphere of Faith Open: Have you ever walked into the middle of a conversation and all of a sudden it gets real quiet, and you get the sense that these two people have been arguing.

    The Obedience Of Faith

    Contributed by Scott Coltrain on Sep 5, 2002
    based on 34 ratings
     | 4,966 views

    Can mere belief in God and the truths of His Word win the Lord’s approval and blessings? To the contrary, the Scriptures plainly teach that only a faith that leads to obedience to God wins approval and reward.

    When one reads the Letter to the Romans and then reads the Letter of James, there may appear to be a contradiction. Romans 4:1-6 clearly teaches that we are justified by faith apart from works. However, James 2:24 says that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone. Martin Luther saw ...read more

    It is possible for one to consider himself faithful but still not produce any practical fruit for the kingdom of Christ.

    FAITHFUL OR FRUITFUL? Matt. 25:14-30 INTRO. Parables defined -- a story used to illustrate a spiritual truth. Why Jesus used parables -- Matt. 13:10-11 So this parable is to teach us some spiritual truth about the working of the kingdom of heaven. In order to find that truth we must ...read more

    Imagine her great faith! By the way, Faith does not always face the facts; but I find that it never gives up. Anybody else would have let the circumstances stop them but not this lady.

    A TOUCH OF FAITH TEXT: Matthew 9:20-21 “And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment: [21] For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.” Here is the secret hope for health by a ...read more

    The word for "faithfulness" is the same word translated "faith." It is our faith in the faithfulness of God that enables us to be faithful to Him and to one another.

    THE ORANGE OF FAITHFULNESS Are you getting tired of fruit? I hope not, because our "fruit salad" is only 2/3 finished. We’ve considered the INNER FRUIT: Love, Joy and Peace. We’ve studied the OUTWARD FRUIT: Patience, Kindness and Goodness. But we have yet to dissect the ...read more
