    The Proclamation Of The Church, Part 2

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 15, 2023
     | 923 views

    The church was established by the Lord Jesus Christ to proclaim the message of salvation to a lost and dying world. We need to remember that and repent of proclaiming anything else.

    Ignorance is not listed as a gift of the Spirit. It is vital in these last days to know why you believe in the message of the Gospel and what makes up the essential doctrines of the faith. The Gospel is constantly being attacked by the forces of evil each passing day.Too many Christians have no ...read more

    A Song With A Sharp Rebuke Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Feb 27, 2022
     | 2,606 views

    It has been called a Trojan horse song because it seems like it will be a love song between God and His people. Isaiah gets the attention of God’s people with this song. The people listened to and loved the song only to find they themselves are the scoundrel referred to in this song.

    Songs are used for many purposes. There are love songs, worship songs even political protest songs. Isaiah who I think we could call the “singing prophet” composed an unusual song here. Once you have listened to the whole song you realize it is not what you first expected. It has been called a ...read more

    "Peter, Feed My Sheep” (12 Of 21)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 11, 2022
     | 1,705 views

    We often hear Christians say that they believe the Lord Jesus is coming soon to gather His church.

    When some Christians say that, it makes you wonder why they say that. I say this because their life-styles do not reflect that they believe He is going to come very soon. Many live their lives as we did as children. Illus: If our parents had to go somewhere, before they left they gave us chores ...read more

    While there are a number of preaching patterns to follow, I keep coming back to a simple outline I first learned some forty years ago. It goes like this – Hook, Book, Look and Took.

    The Sermon that Launched the Church Acts 2:14-41 Rev. Brian Bill October 12-13, 2019 I’ll never forget what happened when it was my turn to preach in my first homiletics class at Moody.

    Paul's Sermon At Athens: The Evidence Of A Shepherd's Heart

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jun 6, 2021
     | 1,934 views

    When Paul arrived in Athens, he was grieved over the rank idolatry of the city with statues and temples dedicated to various gods and goddesses. He knew that the Gospel had to be proclaimed. Souls hung in the balance. This is the heart of a man of God and the example we need to follow today.

    When Paul arrived in Athens to wait for Silas and Timothy to join him, he looked around the city and did not marvel at the beauty of the city's temples or the culture or anything typical of a tourist's curiosity. If he were to be classified as a "sightseer", the sights he saw ...read more

    Repentance brings life to a person, because God has called us to Himself. And once called, we have a choice to make – this is what the people felt. God was calling them, His Spirit was moving them, and they had to respond!

    Speak and teach the clear truth in an easy language that our hearers can understand. Then our words shall be of the uprightness of our hearts, and our lips shall utter knowledge clearly.

    SPEAK PLAINLY "And straightway, his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spoke plainly" (Mark 7: 35). All the words that come out of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing froward or perverse in them. They are all plain to him that ...read more

    I will be preaching on something that everyone in this congregation can relate to. I will be preaching on “Understanding Misunderstandings”.

    The word Misunderstood is a situation in life where someone’s intentions, actions, or words are misrepresented. Being misunderstood has led to some tradgic things in life. Let me illustrate… Illus: A woman came home late one night after work and quietly opens the door to her bedroom. When she ...read more

    This sermon was preached on Easter 2002 as I was dressed in a Roman Centurion Soldier costume. I preached the sermon as the soldier that was an eyewitness to the events of the first Easter.

    Easter Sunday 2002; Sermon delivered in Roman Centurion Costume What a strange religion these followers of Jesus Christ profess.

    Why we must preach God’s Word.
