    Believe it or not, occasionally I do find myself using algebra—usually when I need to figure a percentage. And if you work construction, I’ll bet you find yourself using a lot of that geometry you swore you’d never need. In the end, understanding algebr

    Every Christian is either a first-generation Christian or on who has a family history of some faith and dedication to the Lord. Both are valuable assets to the church when used properly.

    INTRODUCTION I. FIRST GENERATION CHRISTIANS A. How many of you are ‘first generation Christians’? By that term, I mean people who do not have parents or close family members who were members of the church of Christ who taught or influenced you to obey the gospel. You studied the Bible for ...read more

    A look at the big picture in terms of the role of the bible in preparing us for mission in today’s world

    Introduction I came across this illustration of the role of the bible and our role as the followers of Jesus (by N T Wright): Suppose someone discovered a play by say, Shakespeare – there were 4 acts but the 5th had been lost. The first four acts provide such a wealth of characterization and ...read more

Actually it’s a six-letter word but it might as well be a four-letter word because it makes people cringe when they hear it. The word is ...read more

    Paul in Athens - heavy on background - witness in the marketplace

    Two preachers were on the roadside with a sign that read, "The End is Near – Turn Back Now". A passing driver yelled "leave us alone you religious nuts".

    The one thing needful for every human is a personal, passionate, and purposful relationship with Jesus Christ. This sermon should challenge each hearer to reach for this one needful thing.

    Have you ever noticed how much stuff we accumulate in our life time. it doesn’t take us very long to collect a lot of stuff.

    "Follow Him"

    Contributed by Ronnie Knight on Nov 10, 2006
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,381 views

    We have made discipleship into what we endeavor to become for Christ rather than what Christ endeavors to make us for Himself. This sermon should challenge each hearer to follow Jesus and let Him make them into what He wants them to be.

    We live in a world of the “self-made” and the “self-proclaimed”. We ring this mind set into our Christianity. We make discipleship into what we endeavor to become for Christ rather than what Christ endeavors to make us for Himself. In our efforts to believe, belong and become we spend for to much ...read more

    Introduction: I remember quite vividly the early days of this ministry (Grace Evangelistic Ministries, Qns NY).
