Wake Up, Cast Off, And Dress Up!

Contributed by Tony Abram on Mar 25, 2020

Wake up starting each day. In this sermon outline it helps us to begin the day preparing to face the day with victory in the vision of the day. To live a day for the glory of God and coming through it with victory. Do three things and you will be on your way.

Wake Up, Cast Off, And Dress Up! I. Wake up starting each day. Romans 13:11 (KJV) And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. A. A lot to do? Then start with Matthew 6:33 (KJV) But seek ye first ...read more

Seven Words

Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Dec 28, 2019

ARE WE LISTENING TO ALL THE NEGATIVE GARBAGE AND LOSING SIGHT OF OUR GOAL? Will we focus on being a blindness candidate or will we enjoy today. You must never give up. Are we seeing a distorted vision? Get up, try again!

A Needed Transformation

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Jan 14, 2023

A vision and goal for 2023. It all begins with an inside work through the type of heart Christians are to possess. It's all about a transformation. A small sermonette to go along with "A Christian's Heart - Introduction."

A Needed Transformation Over this past generation our country has gone through wholesale changes in what we stand for and believe in. There are things happening today that weren’t even contemplated a couple of generations ago. In 1965, after reading Billy Graham’s manuscript entitled, “World ...read more

Falling Into Hell

Contributed by John Gaston on Jul 6, 2022

In Numbers 16, we have the rebellions of Dathan, Abiram, and Korah warn us about evil associations, show us God's mercy in judgment, and give us a vision into the tragedy of people falling into Hell. Ends with a gripping illustration.

FALLING INTO HELL Numb. 16:28-34 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. An optimist and a pessimist spent a week together on a tropical island. “Isn’t this ocean just amazing?” the optimist said. “The endless horizon, the crashing waves, the soft sand...it makes you appreciate the beauty of our planet.” ...read more

The Influence Of A Godly Leader Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jul 2, 2024

We need godly leaders who will follow the Lord’s direction and engage in the Kingdom work. Successful leaders must be able to influence others to join them in the task God has given – effectively casting a vision that others will embrace and follow.

The Influence of a Godly Leader Nehemiah 2: 9-20 Can you imagine the excitement and anticipation that Nehemiah must’ve felt at this point in life? God had placed a great burden on his heart for the needs in Jerusalem. There was great devastation, a tremendous task to undertake. He was in a ...read more

New Life To Dead Things

Contributed by Edward Hardee on Nov 18, 2024

Paul in 2 Corinthians 5 reminds the Christian about being reconciled to God and living a new life. Old things have passed away. This ties into Ezekiel's vision in Ezekiel 37 about prophesying life to dead things.

New Life to Dead Things Theme: To show how Christ brings salvation to dead people. Also how He can breath life into our dead situations. Text: 2 Corinthians 5:17 – 19, Ezekiel 37 2 Corinthians 5:17-19 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, ...read more

Before The Throne Of God (Revelation 4: 2-11)

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jan 31, 2024

How can anyone describe with our limited human vocabulary the glory and wonder of God's heaven? John's vision shows that God is in control of the events here on earth and will bring all of history to a conclusion on HIs terms.

Revelation Chapter 4 opens with the apostle John being commanded to "come up here" (v.1). He is brought to the throne room of God Almighty in all of its glory and majesty. It is far more beautiful and magnificent than any kind of palace built for kings and emperors here on Earth. What ...read more

Dissatisfaction Or Fulfillment? Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 2, 2003

Like Judas, despite all we have, we feel dissatisfied. Dissatisfaction comes from too small a vision of where our lives must go or depending on others to give us meaning. A relationship with Jesus gives us redemption and release.

Willy Loman is the central character in Arthur Miller’s play, “Death of a Salesman”. Willy had known only one thing all his life, and that was selling. Selling, pitching, cajoling, persuading, making the sale. That was it. His wife played second fiddle to selling. His children tried to please, ...read more

Faith On Trial

Contributed by Steve Shepherd on Aug 18, 2008

We get an idea from the life of Paul as he stood before King Agrippa how to conduct ourselves when our faith is on trial in this world. 1- We must obey God’s vision 2- We must not fear accusations 3- We must present the truth of God

INTRO.- ILL.- A judge, bored and frustrated by a lawyer’s tedious arguments, had made numerous rulings to speed the trial along. The attorney had bristled at the judge’s orders, and their tempers grew hot. Finally, frustrated with another repetition of arguments he had heard many times before, ...read more

The Robe Of Grace (October 23, 2022)

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Oct 18, 2022

This vision is about Zechariah’s nation as God’s chosen people. It also appears to operate like an allegory in the sense that like the nation of Israel, Zechariah represents Israel as a high priest with filthy rag righteousness,. We too, as individuals in every age stand guilty as charged.

Learning To See God's Way Series

Contributed by Billy Ricks on Jan 21, 2012

Vision comes from clearly seeing what God has planned from the foundation of the world in Jesus. He calls us to develop fully devoted followers, those that do what He says because they love Him. We must have eyes only for Jesus if we are to succeed.

Intro: The entire message of Hebrews seems to be that there is something better. What we find is that faith in Jesus doesn’t take away from our lives actually it brings better things. As I like to say, “The longer you know Jesus the gooder life gets.” Hebrews is a letter ...read more

Can Satan Indirectly Lead Us To Success? Series

Contributed by Alis Cerrahyan on Aug 30, 2019

Remember, satan was not able to tempt Jesus without the permission of the Holy Spirit. And he also could not tempt Job without God's permission.

We must be careful not to attribute to satan the abilities and honors which belong to God and Him alone. The Bible says the Devil does not have unlimited power; he cannot be everywhere at once and he does not know everything. He is a created, limited being. He depends upon God for his existence. He ...read more

Between A Rock And A Hard Place?

Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Mar 28, 2018

We need honest evaluation and regular check ups of our spiritual journey. What is in the way that hinders our vision? Are we robbing God? Could we be robbing ourselves from our potential? Balaam got between a rock and a hard place and could not see?

We’re Going To Need A Bigger Boat!

Contributed by John Gaston on Jul 8, 2023

Peter had never seen a catch of fish like that before! If we have Jesus in our boat, we're going to need to get a bigger Faith for harvest, a bigger Grace for trials, a bigger Vision & a bigger Obedience to see God's will done!

WE’RE GOING TO NEED A BIGGER BOAT! Luke 5:4-7 INTRODUCTION A. OPENER: THE SIZE OF GOD 1.
