Sermons on Work And Relaxation:

Church's Responsibility Towards Society

Contributed by Meshak Dayanand on May 26, 2020

The present scenario of the world and our nation under lockdown had given us the best chance to shine our lights in the darkness but seemed like more than others we hid our light under a basket. Matthew 5:16

Greetings in the sweet name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, let us consider ourselves privileged to listen to his word. As we are continuing the COVID-19 Lockdown, I see many verses and articles related to Christ's Second Coming circulating in the social media, and I don't know to ...read more

Can't Have One Without The Other

Contributed by Jeffrey Sims on Sep 5, 2015

Hopefully this sermon will explain that faith moves us to do good works. It also shows that it is our actions that count not just things we say and we should evaluate our spiritual lives regularly

When I worked for the City around this time of year we started working on our budgets. We would evaluate all of our training programs and try and increase spending in the programs that worked and phase out those that didn’t or weren’t absolutely necessary. Businesses do it all the ...read more

A Christian's Response During Covid19 Series

Contributed by Billy Paul on Apr 15, 2020

"When you are called to pray, don't act; And, when you are called to act, don't pray." At a time when our neighbours are groping in the dark, it is time Christians carry their lamp outside. Yes, with a lot of prayer backup too!

It wouldn’t be an understatement to say my recent video message (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXVol_ke76M) has created some stir within the protestant community in India. It was a short and simple message on how Christians across the globe can be a light in a world which is groping in the dark ...read more

James 6 Right Attitudes Series

Contributed by Michael Mccartney on Oct 28, 2018

We put faith in action when we approach life with a right attitude about God’s will, life and work. The other truth I see in our texts today is where we live matters to God too and all this seems rooted in our attitude with God.

Series: James – Let’s do it! Thesis of Book: The message of the book is “Let’s do it – live the faith – put it into action! The half-brother of Jesus is speaking to the scattered Jewish Christians across the nations – they were scattered right after Stephen was killed. James tells these ...read more

What’s Wrong With Religion? Series

Contributed by Paul Clemente on Sep 21, 2010

Being religious for the sake of self-worth is detestable to God because God looks at the heart.

Please grab a Bible. This is how God directly speaks to us. Let’s start by looking at the Gospel of Luke chapter 21:1-4... Giving money to the church is the religious thing to do isn’t it? But what can go wrong with doing a religious thing?? Being religious for the sake of self-worth is ...read more

Finding Rest Among The Crowds

Contributed by Ian Hyde on Apr 10, 2019

We often pride ourselves in our work ethic, but we are addicted to work! This sermon takes a look at our need to find rest in the midst of a chaotic world and a myriad of responsibilities; using Jesus' practice of finding rest as our example.

IMMEDIACY IN MARK When we read the Gospel of Mark, we read a story moving at breakneck speed. Mark is the shortest gospel, and in it we don’t find a genealogy, or narratives from his childhood, or even much of a prelude before Jesus is baptized. And once he is baptized, it seems like he is ...read more

Greater Works (John 14:12-14) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Mar 19, 2022

How can we have a lifestyle, of greater works than Jesus?

This morning is going to feel a little different. There's been a few things in the back of my mind I've wanted to try to teach for a while-- and wrestle with myself-- and I just haven't taken the time. Today, I'm going to try to work through these things. The other thing ...read more

The Voice That Leads Me

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jul 19, 2025

That’s what a shepherd is. That’s what a shepherd does. The Shepherd speaks to us with a voice that we cannot ignore. He says, “Relax, I’m your Shepherd. Don’t think about another thing. I have everything under control. Relax. No worries.”

We all want people to tell us the truth. There was a police officer that pulled a car over and he walked up to the window and said to the man driving, “Sir, can I see your driver's license?” The man said, “Sure. What is the problem officer?” The officer said, “Well, you were going 75 mph in a ...read more

Loving Jesus First

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 10, 2022

Martha was working in the kitchen to earn Jesus’ approval, while Mary was sitting in the living room listening to Him teach. But Jesus had no problem with Mary. Why? Because our love of Him must come before our service.

The living room intimacy Mary enjoyed with Jesus will never come out of the busyness of Martha’s kitchen. Busyness . . . breeds distraction. - Joanna Weaver(1) One time a counterfeit bill made it into circulation and no one knew it was fake for quite some time. It was spent hundreds of times on ...read more

God Accepts You As Gentiles, In Christ (So Don't Become Jewish Christians; Ephesians 2:1-10) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 23, 2022

What is faith? Also, "works" and "good works" are not the same thing. "Works" are works of the Mosaic covenant, specifically food laws, circumcision, holy days (inc. Sabbath).

Today's sermon is on Ephesians 2:1-10. But I want to start by reading all of chapter 2. We often make a mess of chapter 2, especially in verses 8-10, and the reason we make that mess is because we ignore Paul's larger argument. Paul is writing to Gentiles, explaining to them that they are ...read more

Work Out Your Salvation With Fear & Trembling!

Contributed by John Gaston on Feb 23, 2016

Fear & Trembling? Why would Paul say such a thing? Because the stakes are so high, because Christianity is not a game or a bedtime story! Because there is a heaven to gain and a hell to shun!

WORK OUT YOUR SALVATION WITH FEAR & TREMBLING Phip. 2:12-13 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: THE PRICE IS RIGHT 1. At a fabric store, a pretty girl spied a silky material that would be perfect for a dress and asked the male clerk, “How much does it cost?” 2. He smiled warmly. “Since ...read more
