    An example can be a powerfully driving force, even an ancient example like that of the Thessalonians.

    Spontaneous Combustion (I Thessalonians 1:7-10) 1. Many people believe in the theory of Spontaneous Human Combustion. Others say it is merely an urban legend. 2.

    What causes the angels in heaven to rejoice?

    Do they party in heaven? Luke 15:1 1Now the tax collectors and “sinners” were all gathering around to hear him. 2But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law muttered, “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.” 3Then Jesus told them this parable: 4“Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and ...read more

    Where Did You Come From?

     | 3,639 views

    You have to start somewhere! The beginning is a very good place to start. But where is it? God tells us. What a grand origin we have!

    (This lesson is bare bones. You will need to add illustration and flesh to it. God bless the presentation of His Word.) Where did you come from? The answer to this question determines to a large degree the answer to other questions such as: Why are you here? What is your purpose? Where are you ...read more

    What Is Our Problem?

     | 2,626 views

    This is our second study in this series. God describes our problem, how we got there and what it does to us. Once we begin to understand the problem and how devastating it is, perhaps we will begin to appreciate the solution.

    We came from God. We were made to be like God. (As we studied last week). So, what is the problem? Genesis, again, holds the answer. Chapter 3 tells the story. Everything God made was good, very good. But then things change. There was this tree and this serpent. God had put Adam and Eve in a ...read more

    Can I Be Bold When Sharing My Faith In Jesus With Others?

    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,430 views

    Boldness in ’evangelism’ comes through being filled with God’s Holy Spirit. That’s how we can be bold when sharing our faith with others.

    I love getting into conversations where people ask me what I do. When I’m dressed in a tee-shirt and jeans the challenge for me is how to say what I do without it being a conversation stopper! It seems to me that there are a few jobs which can act as conversation stoppers, and it wouldn’t surprise ...read more

    Expository sermon on Ephesians 1:3-14, illustrating and applying the spiritual blessings we have "in Christ" that make us contagious with the Good News.

    Remember when we were kids how our mom used to tell us that we could catch a cold if we went outside without our coats and hats and got too cold or especially if we got our heads wet? Truth is, germs, not cold weather, cause colds. The reason we catch more colds in the cold winter weather is ...read more

    Our decision to share our faith can be built on shifting sands, or solid rock.

    I’ve met folks who think that if Jesus walked among us today like he did back in Galilee, we’d be so much better off in our Christianity. How could we ignore him, they ask, if he was right here in front of us? Judging from the people who were right in front of him a couple thousand years ago, it ...read more

    A helpless baby lying beside the road Ezekiel 16: 4-14 In the book of Ezekiel we have a wonderful epitome of God’s marvelous grace.

     | 6,576 views

    John wants to know whether Jesus is the Messiah, because it doesn’t seem that the gospel he’s proclaiming is good news. But it is!

    I guess everyone has some idea what we mean when we talk about the gospel. But I wonder what your preferred translation of that word would be. Is Good News the correct translation do you think? Is the gospel necessarily good news? You may never have thought about that question, but if you do ...read more
