An Amazing Catch

Contributed by Gaither Bailey on Feb 8, 2007

We will never witness miracles by living in disobedience to God’s call, by doing nothing or by continuing to do what has not worked in the past. We are not called to the safety of the shoreline; but to “put out into deep water, attempting the impossible!

Luke 5: 1 – 11 An Amazing Catch Intro: Normally, when your hear someone talk about a person who is really fussy about the way their hair looks, you think they are talking about a woman.

0800b Trinity Sunday: Salvation, Revelation, And Adoration Series

Contributed by Mark Woolsey on Aug 24, 2005

Trinity Sunday is of highest importance; it causes us to center on the core of our faith. To reject what is presented today is to choose eternal death over life. Far from being irrelevant, today is as practical as drinking water.

Contributed by William Ellis on Sep 29, 2005

Living water comes from a place deeper than… any drill can excavate, any talent can imitate, any devil can duplicate, any emotions can replicate, any mind can fabricate

Intro: Many of us as Christians find ourselves in an emotional vacuum • We look for God to move the same way He has moved for us in the past… • If he used a sling and a stone to defeat the enemy then we need to send our boys in Iraq a sling shot and tell them to lay down those pesky guns! • If the ...read more

God's Word: Nourishment For The Spirit

Contributed by Larry Brincefield on May 28, 2004

The Bible provides nourishment for our spirit, much like food and water provide physical nourishment. We need to accept the authority of God’s Word; Incorporate the truth of the Bible into our thinking; and Apply it to our lives.

(I borrowed from William Richard Ezell’s sermon published in The Preacher’s Magazine—using his outline and some of his ideas. But I also included enough new material that I thought it worthwhile to post. I don’t have footnote material on the magazine. If anyone has it, please email it to me, and ...read more

Principles For Recovering The Fire Of God

Contributed by Richard Deem on Oct 12, 2006

The irony is that Israel was in the midst of a DROUGHT, and yet the people were commanded to pour water on the sacrifice! Don’t miss this: They were instructed to put their most precious possession on the altar if they were to experience God’s Fire!

PRINCIPLES FOR RECOVERING THE FIRE OF GOD 1 Kings 18:36-39 "And it came to pass at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that thou art God in Israel, and that I am thy ...read more

Such A Man

Contributed by James May on Mar 20, 2005

This sermon was preached on Palm Sunday but is very easily adapted to any evangelistic or exhortation sermon. The bearer of the water pot was "such a man" that God was able to use him to bring the Plan of Salvation one step closer to fulfillment.

SUCH A MAN By Pastor Jim May This is Palm Sunday, the last Sunday before Easter. Today is the day that we remember the Triumphal Entry of Christ into the city of Jerusalem as the crowds gathered to welcome him into the city.

Who's In Control Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Oct 25, 2009

We as humans have a hard time giving up control of anything, but in order to find the abundant life Jesus offers, we must cede authority of our lives to Him, even if that means going into choppy waters.

We began last time by looking at Jesus as He came down from giving the Sermon on the Mount. He begins to demonstrate that it isn’t all talk—that He really is the coming King and controls His creation, both the visible and invisible. We see Him first approached by two people who really have no ...read more

Entitlement Mentality Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Apr 19, 2009

Humans by nature feel a sense of entitlement, that by our very existence we are owed something - and that includes by God. Romans 9 is controversial in that it totally blows the entitlement mentality out of the water, but also surprising when we learn of

The word “entitlement” has become a part of the public discourse in America these days. Some people suggest that the United States is becoming a society of entitlement, where everything we need or want is owed to us. When we don’t get what we want we feel we have been treated unfairly. It’s a ...read more

Persuading Or Evading

Contributed by Pastor David T. Diskin on Aug 11, 2012

The apostle Paul said, let every man be persuaded in his own mind. Are you fully persuaded in your mind? Can a person be truly saved if they believe Jesus died for their sins but not believe that Jesus walked on water?

Persuading or Evading? Pray. This morning I want to ask you a very simple question. As you live in this world as a child of God and come into contact with people every day of your life, Are you Persuading or Evading? Many times throughout the New Testament, the apostle Paul would use ...read more

The Man Who Dropped Dead In Church

Contributed by John Gaston on Aug 13, 2012

God would rather have a small church that is pure than a large church whose commitment is watered down. With electricity, the larger the connection(wire), the more power can flow through it. This is true of the purity of the church.

THE MAN WHO DROPPED DEAD IN CHURCH Acts 5:1-11 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: Neither Necessary 1. A pastor once met an old schoolmate and finding him a judge of good standing congratulated him upon his success in life.
