    Go! And... Ask The Hard Questions: What If Christianity Is A Lie? Series

    Contributed by Dean Courtier on Aug 5, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 260 views

    If Christianity is not true—if Jesus didn’t really rise from the dead—then everything we believe, preach, sing, and stand for crumbles into dust.

    Go! And... Ask the Hard Questions: What If Christianity Is a Lie? INTRODUCTION: STARTING WITH A SHOCKING QUESTION What if Christianity is a lie? That’s a bold question, isn't it? Even hearing it in church might feel unsettling. But let's face it: If Christianity is not true—if Jesus ...read more

    The Quiet Life.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 9, 2026
    based on 2 ratings
     | 44 views

    When I thought to preach on this passage, it was 'too wonderful for me... I could not attain unto it' (cf. Psalm 139:6).

    THE QUIET LIFE. Psalm 131:1-3. It is an incredible testimony of David that he was not overly ambitious to get to the kingdom into which he had been anointed ahead of the due time (cf. 1 Samuel 18:18). He certainly wasn’t about to murder the one who had been anointed before him (cf. 1 Samuel ...read more

    The Answer Is Always Jesus Youth Sermon

    Contributed by Youth Sermons on Sep 29, 2023
    based on 6 ratings
     | 827 views

    Instead of focusing on preaching the gospel, sin, or church, we should focus on sharing stories about Jesus, His kingship, and the purpose He gives us.

    When someone asks you about your faith, don't feel like you have to give a sermon. Just talk about Jesus. Share the stories you've read in the Bible about His life, His death, and His resurrection. Make it as natural as telling your friends about the latest movie you watched. Just talk about Jesus. ...read more

     | 11,150 views

    Peter had just been preaching the resurrection of Jesus, and “the Sadducees” saw danger arising from such teaching. Peter an John had wrought a great miracle by healing the lame man, a miracle which the Sadducees could not deny.

    October 7, 2013 By: Tom Lowe Series: The Early Church Lesson II.C.3.a: The Animosity of the Religious Leaders (4.1-22) Acts 4.1-22 (KJV) 1 And as they spake unto the people, the priests, and the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees, came upon them, 2 Being grieved that they taught the ...read more

    Revival And The Beatitudes Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Jul 10, 2023
     | 3,043 views

    This message defines revival, then demonstrates from Scripture how the qualities in the Beatitudes posture believers for revival. Understanding the Beatiudes helps us understand how to position ourselves for revival. God can only trust these kind of people with revival.

    Intro What the world needs now is revival. In times of revival the effectiveness of the church skyrockets. The wind of the Spirit lifts the believers to greater heights of service, the world is evangelized, and the moral climate of society is changed. The question asked of God in Psalm 85:6 is: ...read more

    Being Light Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Aug 14, 2023
     | 2,748 views

    The Beatitudes teach the qualities that God works in the character of Christ's disciples. Then in Matthew 5:13-16 the emphasis turns to the influence Christians are to have in the world around them. The point of our text is that we let our light shine.

    Intro Immediately following the Beatitudes, Jesus uses two metaphors to declare the task given to his followers in the world. Those two metaphors are salt and light. We have examined the first one. Now we want to learn from the second metaphor, light. Our text today is Matt 5:14-16: "You are ...read more

     | 3,845 views

    Everyone has a personal ministry - because God has called everyone to share and proclaim His Gospel truth. This ministry simply involves telling others about Jesus Christ. It begins in our homes with family and those closest to us, and then it extends outside of our homes with those we meet.

    34) TELLING OTHERS ABOUT JESUS GOSPEL STRATEGY RELATING TO PEOPLE TEXT: 1 Corinthians 9:19-23 BRIEF RECAP By now most of you are probably becoming more than familiar with, The challenge found in Luke 1:1 - which makes reference to: “...A declaration of those things which are most surely ...read more

    This message was preached on New Year’s Eve 2002, and is designed to encourage people of all ages by challenging them to consider God’s love for His own.

    Should we (as individuals and churches) be Purpose Driven or Presence Driven? (answer: both! But we need the Presence of God to bring People, Preaching, Prophecy and Power)

    Purpose and Presence Mark 2:1-12 WBC 10 Aug 2003 am I want to speak this morning about the importance of us being people, and a church, with a Purpose… but who also seek the Presence of God PURPOSE It’s very easy for us as individuals to fall into one of two camps: - ‘I’m an active kind of ...read more

    God never works the same way twice. There is a lot of Scripture reading in this sermon. This was a sermon I preached as we were getting ready to move our building.

    There is a lot going on in our lives right now. I am sure that our dinner table is a lot like yours and the conversation’s have been a lot alike. What if we don’t find land? What if we build a building and we can’t pay for it? What if more people stop giving and we can’t afford to pay our ...read more

    A Pastoral Response To The Bombing In Bali Series

    Contributed by Cameron Horsburgh on Oct 20, 2002
    based on 18 ratings
     | 2,628 views

    The terrorist attack in Bali came a week before I was to preach on the subject of murder, and a National Day of Mourning was declared for that Sunday. God does work in mysterious ways...

    Over the last few weeks God has been showing me how his timing is always perfect. I became more convinced of this when I realised what sermon I had planned to preach today. In view of the events of the last week today’s passage seems to be the most appropriate in the Bible. The bombing in Bali ...read more

    A Good Place To Start

    Contributed by Eloy Gonzalez on Dec 7, 2002
    based on 94 ratings
     | 14,704 views

    Second Sunday in Advent: The evangelist Mark starts with John the Baptist preaching in the wilderness. He seems to leave out Christmas. But perhaps, for us, it is a ’good place to start.’

    The Gospel Lesson today is one of the most interesting Advent / Christmas lessons in all of scripture. I say that because - did you notice that something seems to be missing? There is no mention of Christmas in this Gospel. Mark mentions neither the miraculous conception nor the birth of Jesus. And ...read more

    This is a "Great Commission" message that I have preached in the USA this year to congregations ranging from 700 to 2500 in Attendance. It has a bit of a post-modern twist to it.

    The Three “D’s” of Purpose Introduction: Of course some people here might we wondering, “WHY did pastor have a MISSIONARY come and speak here this MORNING/EVENING?” Illus: My Dad had a schoolmate from Bible College and he was known as the missionary who always preached the RIGHT length of ...read more
