    Calling All Nobodies

    Contributed by Paul Robinson on Sep 16, 2022
     | 2,745 views

    The idolatrous priest Amaziah tries to intimidate the prophet Amos. He did not appreciate Amos’ message against the king. But Amos wan't trying to be popular--God had called him out of an ordinary life of shepherding and gathering fruit. In other words, Amos was a nobody.

    This passage teaches us a valuable lesson: God calls and uses nobodies, those who are shunned by the world or overlooked. Amos, Moses, and David were just shepherds. Joseph was just a boy with a dream. Ruth was an outcast, an outsider. Esther was just a regular Jewish girl. These people were ...read more

    Once a year we have a "Unity Service" where we celebrate the fact that we are one church with several different languages that meet in our building. This sermon focused on us being ONE family with ONE God.

    Someone once said that the Assyrians, Babylonians, Phoenicians, Egyptians, Persians, Greeks, and Romans had their many gods—They had gods of war, gods of industry, gods of agriculture, gods of cities, gods of towns, and many others. But in all of their galaxy of gods, there never was one called ...read more

    It has been said that this is truly the great resurrection chapter of the entire Bible. The first eleven verses present the Gospel message and the evidence for its truthfulness. Paul gives three proofs to his readers that Jesus Christ has indeed been rais

    based on 26 ratings
     | 9,612 views

    God wants His children to be fruitful and joyful. V8,11. But this can be only achieved by Abiding in Christ. Abiding is a reciprocal principle, when we abide in Christ , God the Father is glorified and in return we will experience the fullness of Joy.

As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.

    Confession

     | 3,697 views

    In these verses we find that the people did not understand the depth of their sins. They did not turn from their idols, regret their sins or pledge to make changes (vv. l-2). It seems that they thought God’s wrath would only last for a few days. Little di

    This is a sermon starter for Preaching out of the second chapter of Colossians showing our all sufficiency in Christ. Autarkia is the Greek word used in the text for "all sufficiency".

    “Autarkia” (Greek) “Fully Sufficient” Colossians 2:10-23 “In Him you have been made complete” There are certain things that tend to clutter up the simplicity we have when we are complete in Christ.

    What are the true riches of life? What does it really mean to be a wealthy person? In 2 Corinthians 6:10, Paul says, “I have nothing yet possess all things.” Clearly, true wealth in life is not financial wealth. In Proverbs, we are told that having a good name is of more value than great riches. ...read more

    Vampires Ephesians 6:12”…the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.” I am sure this title of mine would be an instant hit because people may want to read it out of: curiosity, fear or nosiness… whatever….they would read.
