Good morning. By a show of hands, how many of you have heard of the biblical character John the Baptist? Most of you have heard of him of course.

Contributed by David Owens on Feb 22, 2010

In this sermon, we discover what kept the apostle Paul ticking even though he took a licking. Four "f"s kept him going - foundation, force, faith, and focus.

Introduction: A. I like the story told of the boxer who went to his corner after getting knocked down in the first round. 1. His trainer patted him on the back and said, “Great round.

Pressing On, Pressing In, Pressing Out.

Contributed by Greg Carr on Mar 1, 2010

This sermon deals with things that all believers should be doing, pressing on, in, and out. I used four video clips with this sermon to draw in people who think sermons are boring.

I want everyone to understand something today, when it comes to my position at Prairie Family Church, as the senior pastor, my greatest concern is your commitment to Christ. Not your commitment to the church. You can be committed to the church and not be committed to Christ. Not your commitment ...read more

Live For Today And Die Forever

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Feb 11, 2020

Sounds pretty harsh, right? Jesus said the very same thing on four different occasions and it is recorded six different times in the Gospels. What can we do about it?

Live For Today and Die Forever Please stand as we read our newest memory Scripture together … 1 Peter 4:10 “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.” And our memory refresher verse(s) for today is(are) … 1 ...read more

Seeking, Yet Questioning Series

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on May 1, 2023

We look at another reaction to Jesus’ claims from the Jewish crowds. The Jewish crowds had four false beliefs about Jesus. These beliefs are still prevalent in today’s society.

Last time we looked at how to overcome any mocking or unbelief when it comes to us being Christians. We looked specifically at the response of Jesus’ half-brothers. Tonight we look at another reaction to Jesus’ claims from the Jewish crowds. The Jewish crowds had four false beliefs about Jesus. ...read more

There They Crucified Him

Contributed by Grant Adams on May 13, 2023

Four words found in verse 33, "There they crucified Him." This became the darkest and greatest day on mankind. How? Let's take a look and found out.

This scripture has been referred to as the heart of the Bible. When you go through the old testament, the types, the shadows, the sacrifices, everything pointed to the cross. Everything after, everything we do today refers back to the cross. It is the central point of God's word. The heart of ...read more

How To Pray For Healing Series

Contributed by Brian Bill on May 20, 2003

This passage not only gives us some indication of how to pray, but it also helps us determine when we are to pray. There are four distinct times that we’re to come before God. We’re to look to Him…1. When we’re suffering. (13a);2. When we have succes

How To Look At The Lord's Supper

Contributed by Scott Nichols on Jan 18, 2019

Paul, in I Corinthians 10:23-34, reminds us that if we would eat and drink this Supper to our benefit, we must be looking in four directions. In communion, we must be looking back, looking ahead, looking within and looking around.

Something special is about to happen this morning. Something miraculous. Paul in chapter 10 of this same letter calls it a "participation in the body and blood of Jesus Christ." We know it as communion. As we take a piece of bread and cup of juice, we will be participating in a mystery. ...read more

Every Tongue Shall Confess

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 6, 2022

Our "confession" is an act of open commitment made to God in the presence of the world, by which we bind ourselves in loyalty to Jesus Christ. The New Testament teaches four important things to know about one's confession.

I have entitled our message this morning “Every Tongue Shall Confess,” and I will be discussing the subject of our “confession.” Our confession is a common theme found in the New Testament, and that’s because it is significant to our Christian walk. Our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is called ...read more

By Any Means

Contributed by Rick Gatten on Feb 10, 2001

This seemingly insignificant phrase, "by any means", is actually used to express the urgency of attaining some object sought, along with the means for its attainment. It occurs just four times in the New Testament.

Ye Shall Be Holy Unto God

Contributed by Darrell Jones on Jun 14, 2005

What is holiness? The word HOLY used here means to be or to keep oneself pure or to sanctify yourself wholly.Let us look at four statements here in this verse that help define personal holiness.

What exactly does it mean to be HOLY? I think I can better answer that question if I know what being Holy is not. For instance, if you shout all over the church while tripping over your tongue, That is not Holy. If you withhold your tithe to starve the pastor out, That is not Holy. If you prefer ...read more

"Forgivenss?"

Contributed by Jerry Depoy on Jun 21, 2005

Wasn’t it obvious that the reason why these four men had brought their paralytic friend to Christ was because they wanted to see their friend healed! Why did Jesus begin with a message on forgiveness first?

Rather than giving you an entire message, here is a brief devotional thought for you to consider from the message that I preached this past Sunday Morning, enjoy: The text is in Mark Chapter two. Four men brought their paralytic friend to Christ. They wanted him healed. When they came to the ...read more
