    To encourage others to move higher in ministry

    CHURCH ON THE MOVE (Saint John 1:35-42) Message By Pastor Darron LaMonte Edwards, Sr. INTRODUCTION: "The Jeffersons" God needs a Church that will be on the move.

    We come to church not as consumers of religion, but as a community of faith that is open to God, to one another, and to outsiders

    The Open Church 1Peter 2:9-10 9But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. 10Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had ...read more

    A motivational message to move ’Lukewarm Christians’ (if there were such a thing) into a passionate relationship with God.

    Lukewarm & Almost Christian REVELATION 3:14-21 Here is a passage that you have all heard before – many times. I don’t mean to stand before you this morning and try to pretend that this is brand new material for you. I have preached on this passage twice before, this makes the third time. I have ...read more

    God has one desire for us: to go and share the good news!

    THE SCATTERED CHURCH ACTS 8: 1-8, 26-40 AUGUST 11, 2002 INTRODUCTION: Who knew it was so simple. Asking children in my Sunday school class, “If I sold my house and my car, had a big garage sale and gave all my money to the church, would I get to heaven?” “NO”! The children answered. “If I cleaned ...read more

    Identifying traits of a remarkable church.

    1 Thessalonians 1:2-10 A Remarkable Church Introduction In our first look at this letter to the Thessalonian church, we noted that Paul had established the work during his second missionary tour, and that Timothy and Silas had accompanied him in the work. We know that he preached at the synagogue ...read more

    UNLEARNING CHURCH MEETINGS Hebrews 10:24-25; 1 Corinthians 14; John 21 Welcome back to our Unlearning Series. There are so many things that we have learned in life that keeps us from following Jesus in a healthy way. For three weeks the Lord taught us on unlearning our proneness to hide, and to ...read more

    The Body of Christ should be sound in doctrine and in Love (The way I did this, required a rose for everyone in the audience, BUT it was extremely effective) 4.88/dozen @ Wal-mart

    Intro: (Start w/Blank) PREACHER found a shoe box in a closet. Opened it and found strange contents. Inside was an egg carton with 5 eggs inside. Next to the eggs was a stack of bills that totaled over 10,000 dollars. As soon as his wife walked thru the door he stopped her to ask if she knew ...read more

    The Sound Of The Church

    Contributed by Riaan De Villiers on Oct 17, 2003
    based on 47 ratings
     | 15,347 views

    The glory of God carries a sound and that sound has a message. The church must have a different sound than the world. What is the sound and message of the Church of God?

    1 Corinthians 14:7 – 8 1 Samuel 4:1 – 11; 7:2 – 11 I believe that everyone here will agree that every sound carries some sort of message. For instance, if your teenage child slams the door of his/her room, it carries the message of someone that is angry. Or, if you asked your children to wash the ...read more

    The "Normal" Church

    Contributed by Billy Kryger on Oct 20, 2003
    based on 29 ratings
     | 4,559 views

    "Normal" means "conforming to a standard". The Standard for our churches ought to be the Lord Jesus Christ. The church at Jerusalem gives us an excellent blueprint for how a church ought to be.

    INTRODUCTION: God wants every church to be a “normal” church. What is normal? Webster’s dictionary says, “conforming to a standard.” God has given the standard for His church. When we compare the church in the book of Acts with our churches today, we fall so far short of God’s standard. ...read more

    Corinth is a church with great resources, both material and spiritual, but it’s also a church with great responsibilities. It needs to recognise that it’s part of a world wide church and express that membership materially. And it needs to be on guard agai

    We tend to think of the world today as shrinking, getting smaller and smaller. For example, last week, Di and I boarded a plane in Melbourne and 2 hours later we were throwing off our jumpers and getting ready for a swim in the pool at Noosa.

    Did you know that only 15% of churches in America are healthy? Could God be asking us to change? If so, in what areas? How do we identify what God is wanting us to change?

    An interesting article that I found. “Age changes things.” Who changed everything when I wasn’t looking? I’ve noticed lately that everything is farther away than it used to be. It’s even twice as far to the corner now, and they’ve added a hill! I’ve given up running for the bus; it leaves much ...read more
