    Christian Service

    Contributed by Robert Sickler on Jun 28, 2017
     | 15,087 views

    Sometimes our zeal for evangelism and for secular service is so great that we neglect the need for service within the Christian family.

    Christian Service Illustration A young child was sitting in class listening to the teacher explain a government generated lesson on what service means. The teacher carefully explained that, from a public standpoint, service is an important and useful action, which is performed to meet a specific ...read more

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Nov 16, 2024
     | 573 views

    David and Jesus were both zealots for God's house. What did that look like in practice for David? And are WE willing to be zealots for God's house?

    INTRODUCTION Earlier in today’s service I showed the video, ‘David the worshipper’ [Angel Studios]. I’ve really liked all the videos in this series but I especially liked this one. Young David in the video loves to sing praise to God! He’s joyful, exuberant! His joy and exuberance are ...read more

    Saul set out to destroy the church and instead found Jesus and himself.

    I want to start this week with a list on names. Some of them you may know others you might not know. Jane Fonda- an actor that some consider a traitor.

    Turn Aside And Look Series

     | 11,399 views

    We so often live with tunnel vision. But if we turn aside and look at what God is doing, we will find an experience that will not end, a mission that will direct our lives, and a presence that will never leave us.

    I confess to a malady known as “tunnel vision”. Tunnel vision is being able to see only what is straight ahead, as if I were going through a tunnel, and there is nothing to see on the sides, only the light at the end of the tunnel. Tunnel vision is not so much a condition of the eyes as it is of ...read more

    This sermon attempts to look beyond Peter’s denial to the passion that motivated the failure, and which the Lord was ultimately able to use powerfully.

    Revelation 3__4-22 The Lukewarm Church

    Contributed by Charles Scott on Aug 2, 2008
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,067 views

    Lack of zeal for the Gospel and Christian faith is a danger for those who are possessed of wealth and feel self-sufficient. Christ calls us from the cares of the world and deceitfulness of riches to restored spiritual vision, real safety and true wealth.

    Revelation 3__4-22 the Lukewarm Church "Blessed are the Lukewarm." Christians profess to follow religiously Jesus Christ. If that is so, then surely "Blessed are the Lukewarm" must have been one of his sayings for there are so many, many professing Christians who show no enthusiasm or service. ...read more

    Sometimes our routines keep God from working, so He brings change and even persecution to awaken us as to what He is doing.

    The Transition from “Jews for Jesus” to “Semi-Jews for Jesus” (Acts 8:1-8) 1. People try playing all sorts of tricks. Two friends run into each other while walking their dogs. One suggests lunch.

    Paul challenges Timothy to focus like a soldier, train like an athlete, and work like a farmer.

    HARD WORK: Spiritual Growth is Not an Accident July 5, 2009 In a time of economic crisis, many people today would love some hard work! We also need to work hard spiritually.

    After a short story based on Judges 3 to introduce the text, this sermon notes how God uses unexpected leaders and how God's leaders overturn idols.

    In an attempt to capture some of the drama of this passage, I want to attempt something different as an introduction to the text. I hope you’ll follow along in your Bibles when I get to the meat of the sermon, but I thought I’d introduce the sermon by reading a short story I’ve ...read more
