Sermons on Unexpected Situation:

The "rock And Wave" Of Evangelism

Contributed by Joe Dan Vendelin on Feb 24, 2024

Jesus did not behave the same in every situation. Sometimes, he stood like a "rock" and other times he disrupted like a "wave." This is a short explanation of two ways in which we can be impactful in a way that brings others closer to Christ to the glory of God the Father.

Jesus told his followers that “You are the light of the world.” (Matthew 5:14) Let’s take a deeper dive into that: 14 “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be ...read more

Sermon # 20 - God Will Make A Way Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on May 15, 2025

The Israelites were hemmed in from behind and before, and in such a critical situation they looked up to the Lord who intervened to bring a mighty deliverance. No matter what our fears or anxieties, let’s look up to Jesus who died to save us and lives to deliver us from all our fears.

We read in Exodus 14:10, “When the Israelites saw the king and his army marching against them, they were terrified and cried out to the LORD for help.” (GNB) In this incidence, we see that multitudes of Israelites who were fleeing from Egypt were filled with dread, and they had every reason to do ...read more
