Sermons on Worldly Christians:

Don’t Look Back!

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Mar 18, 2010

Why should Christians remember Lot’s wife? Just like Sodom and Gomorrah, before Christ’s return, the world will be saturated with evil. Christians are warned to come out of the world and not be a part of it.

Opening illustration: If a person sees a house on fire and does everything he can to rescue the occupants, he is heralded as a hero. And that’s the way it should be. Why is it, then, that a Christian who accepts what God says in the Bible about hell and tries to warn people is ridiculed as an ...read more

Follow The Leader

Contributed by Craig Condon on Jun 18, 2015

When we take part in worship, especially when we take part in Holy Communion, we draw closer to God, and we allow him to live in us. Only then will we have the inner conviction and witness of the Holy Spirit that we are children of God.

When you were children, did you ever play a game called “Follow the Leader”? Well, for those of you who didn’t, or for those of you who have never heard of the game, let me explain. First, you choose a leader. Then you follow him wherever he goes and do whatever he does. You stomp ...read more

Spot The Difference

Contributed by Michael Buckingham on Jul 18, 2011

Wanna play a game? how about spot the difference? Which one is the Christian?

The title of my sermon today is taken from the visual puzzle where you are given 2 pictures very similar, but there are a few subtle differences in the pictures.

How To Live Right

Contributed by Richard Tow on Sep 7, 2009

Our thinking drives our behavior. Rather than blindly accepting the trends in our society, Christians should allow their thinking to be shaped by revelation in the word.

How to Living Right Romans 12:1-3 6-28-09 I begin this message today with an assumption. My assumption is this: Deep in the heart of every Christian is the desire to live right before God. I can’t imagine someone who is truly born again not wanting to please God. When the cry “Abba Father” comes ...read more

The Window Seat

Contributed by Pastor/Author: Terry Sisney on Oct 12, 2010

A warning to those with worldly tendencies (the danger of being a little more out than in).

I’m a very positive person, and I always try to speak a word that will lift people up and encourage them and help them to possess all the promises of God. But along the way sometimes in order to get the blessings we have to be corrected, or we might have to make some adjustments. I feel tonight ...read more

Gracious Lost People Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Feb 9, 2009

As Christians, we must learn to appreciate and enjoy the image of God in others – even those who do not know Jesus Christ. Sometimes, lost people can be wonderful -- and may be more gracious than some who know the Lord.

Gracious Lost People (Genesis 33:1-20) 1. Lots of things in life are relative. 2. Do you know what the snail said as it road on the back of a tortoise? Wheeeee! 3.

I Am Salt And Light Series

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Jul 21, 2011

Who Do You Say You Are? Series

Contributed by Guy Mcgraw on Apr 30, 2012

The call upon the life of every believer is to live a life in the light God calls us to.

That little phrase ‘from darkness to light’ should be an accurate description of what has happened in the life of every Christian. 1 Peter 2:9 says, ‘But you are A CHOSEN RACE, A royal PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, A PEOPLE FOR God's OWN POSSESSION, so that you may proclaim the ...read more

Holiness And The "carnal Christian" Series

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jan 16, 2021

The Church of The Nazarene is a denomination which believes that a person can live a holy life through the indwelling, transformational power of the Holy Spirit. Is that true or must we live in slavery to sin until we cross into glory?

Checkup For The Christian

Contributed by Rodelio Mallari on Jan 10, 2012

While we live on earth, temptation and sin will try to infect us like common disease. Only God and you know the true condition of your heart and your spiritual life. We are to examine ourselves or have regular checkups to monitor our spiritual health.

Intro: Notice from the verse the word “examine.” Most of us go to the doctor AFTER getting sick. Some go to the doctor BEFORE getting real sick. Moreover, very few go to the doctor for regular checkups even when they are well. While we live on earth, temptation and sin will try to infect us ...read more
