Sermons on Work With My Hands:

Church Expansion In Antioch Series

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Jul 31, 2007

This sermon calls the laity into action. The work is too great for the clergy alone. The laity must get involved, share their stories and watch God do the rest!

Subject: Church Expansion In Antioch Acts 11:19-21 Introduction: The early Christian Church grew rapidly as the Holy Spirit guided it through conflict, prejudice and crisis. It seems that none of the Jews including Peter really understood that God would bring salvation to the whole world. During ...read more

The Object Of My Affection Series

Contributed by Dan Jackson on Jul 9, 2005

We substitute many things for the worship of the one true God. Idols never satisfy, but we still craft with our hands things that we hope will satisfy the longing of our hearts.

“THE OBJECT OF MY AFFECTION” (Exodus 20:4-6) You hear a word like the second commandment, and think “C’mon preacher, this is twentieth century America. We don’t have totem poles and fetishes here. Be relevant.” Did you see the comedy film, Cool Runnings? It’s about the first Jamaican bobsled team ...read more

By My Spirit

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Jan 13, 2009

We need to rely upon the power of God’s Spirit. His power removes obstacles, not ours. And His power works through you and me. God is not looking for our power but our participation, our availability and not our abilities.

Many people believe that to survive in this world a person must be tough, strong, and unbending. • But can we? Can we always be tough and strong? No. We all need God’s help. Zerubbabel has an enormous responsibility to rebuild the Temple. • The task was daunting. He faced many problems – the ...read more

Lego My Church Series

Contributed by David Henderson on Nov 4, 2007

Praying For Workers; Listening For The Call

Contributed by Billy Ricks on Dec 4, 2004

Hand-Cuff God? Cracked Pot?

Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Jul 1, 2017

Faith At Work (At Work)

Contributed by Mark Holdcroft on Mar 7, 2007

This is a sermon encouraging everybody in a ’secular’ job to realise that they are full time ministers, and to unlock their potential.

Faith at Work The subject that I am going to speak on this morning is one that I have wanted to speak on for some time. Somehow I feel that it is appropriate that I should be speaking on it now, just as I come to the end of my career in the police force and before we begin our work as ...read more

Doing The Stuff

Contributed by Fredrik Rich on May 6, 2002

This message looks at the raising to life of Tabitha (Dorcas) as a more affective means of evangelism to her community than her good works, good and necessary as they were in preparing the way.

Reading 1: Acts 9:32-43 Reading 2: Colossians 3:22-4:1 Sermon Miracles don’t really happen anymore, do they? Our passage this morning would certainly suggest that miracles were once common in the church. In fact, the Bible is full of miracles. You might even have your own favourite ...read more

Need Work? Christ Works

Contributed by Joshua Parrish on Jun 11, 2008

In an time when so many people are in need of work, Christ asks us to work for him. We do not work to earn salvation, we work because we already have salvation!

I want you to think for a moment about the talented people you know or that you know of. [advance] They could be athletes; they might be musicians, or dancers, or writers, or painters.

Open Handed Blessings, Closed Handed Consequences

Contributed by Andrew Drummond on Jul 30, 2006

When we look back on all of the gifts that have freely been bestowed upon us by God we clearly see richness, yet how freely are we giving it away? I believe that Jesus desires that we not hoard these gifts, but give them away...
