Sermons on Visions Of Glory:

Journey Forward

Contributed by Pastor Renji George on Jan 16, 2026

The devil and the world keep us busy. Our flesh enjoys being busy with the world, enjoying the stuff of it. One after another we have excuses- all seem reasonable! But do they count to be any good for us in the long run? We are so short sighted and blind towards the future!

Joshua 1:9 “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be you dismayed: for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go” Here is a young man (Joshua) God has called to lead a great number of people to an unknown future. He does not know the journey ahead. ...read more

What’s In A Name?

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Aug 7, 2008

Order Out Of Chaos

Contributed by Dean Morgan on Sep 10, 2004

While We Wait

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Mar 26, 2005

Funeral service for Elizabeth Wilkey Abernethy, a quiet yet committed long-term church member who struggled with cancer for nine years. We can wait if, like Liz, we are self-controlled, upright, and godly, for the glory of the risen Christ is coming.

I am not very good at waiting. Are you? I do not like to sit and twiddle my thumbs waiting for something to happen. Do you remember that in days past shoe repair shops would advertize, “Shoes repaired while you wait”? You would go in, sit down, take off your old clodhoppers, and turn them in, ...read more

Blessing In Church Closure

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Jan 20, 2020

Sometimes we should rejoice in the death of a church rather than mourn. After a long painful disease, we express relief when a person passes into Glory. Many churches suffer a slow and painful death. Out of that death life and renewal may come.
