Evangelizing in a post-Christian Era (2)

Sun, 09 Sep 2007 18:00:00 +0500

Now that we know what the enemy looks like, we need to see its devastating influence on the chidren of the Lord, then take a stand and shed these ungodly influences so we can spread the gospel of our Lord to this dying world.

Evangelizing in a post-Christian Era (1)

Sun, 09 Sep 2007 10:00:00 +0500

Many Christians have never heard the phrase "post-Christian" yet see its cultural influences in the lives of Christians. This enemy of Christ must be understood before we are able to evangelize the gospel to the people who live by its tenets.

I Desire Mercy and Not Sacrifice

Sun, 02 Sep 2007 18:00:00 +0500

Sermons, Bible studies, and various discussions about mercy means nothing to God when our lives are not filled with the mercy He graciously extends to us, but we are unwilling to truly, purely extend it to others. It is time to learn, discern, and exercise mercy as God intended to bring Him the glory.

Rahab - From Harlot to Heaven

Sun, 02 Sep 2007 10:00:00 +0500

They're out there, it's just that you haven't met them or haven't spoken to them yet about the mighty works of God that can take them from sinner to salvation. Such is the story of the prostitute, Rahab... whom God honored for her faith.

Perfection and Two Slippery Slopes

Sun, 26 Aug 2007 10:00:00 +0500

All agree, we are not perfect people, but people perfected in Christ. However, many are concerned that a profession of imperfection opens the flood gates to having fellowship with false teachings. Likewise, many are concerned about Christians who arrogantly believe that their doctrinal beliefs are the only ones that are perfect. So, where's the balance?

Preparing Our Hearts to Evangelize

Sun, 19 Aug 2007 18:00:00 +0500

Christians guilty of not evangelizing can continue to be the problem or resolve to be the servants God wants. First, your heart needs to change and be prepared to evangelize.

Evangelism: First, Remove the Logs

Sun, 19 Aug 2007 10:00:00 +0500

Stats aren't everything, but neither do they lie. While the U.S. population has doubled during the last fifty years membership from "non-institutional churches of Christ" have dropped nearly 60%. Find out why and what needs to be done to reverse this trend.

What Kind of Fool Are You

Sun, 12 Aug 2007 18:00:00 +0500

Believe it or not, you are regarded as a fool and condemned as such by someone, possibly by the Lord Himself! See what kind of fool you are through this very simple but powerful sermon.

Obedience You Never Experienced But Desperately Need

Sun, 12 Aug 2007 10:00:00 +0500

Today's Christians living in prosperous conditions like the U.S. have little understanding or true awareness of the obedience God strongly desires of His people. The biblical examples serve to heighten our awareness and employ a more faithful practice of obedience that glorifies our God.

Moses - Learning True Faithfulness (2)

Sun, 05 Aug 2007 06:00:00 +0500

In this is the second of a two part series on the life of Moses we see the fruit of his life as a humbled servant who learned from his failure and his newfound ability to trust in His God to accomplish great works through his (imperfect) life.

Moses - Learning True Faithfulness (1)

Sun, 05 Aug 2007 10:00:00 +0500

God’s people need to learn failure and humility before perfecting faithfulness. Moses serves as a great example as one who did just that. This first of a two part series focuses on Moses' failure and humility.

Redeeming the Time

Sun, 29 Jul 2007 06:00:00 +0500

In yet another sermon devoted to praising God, we look at how we spend our time...for the days are evil. This powerful sermon will challenge your lifestyle, which if found wanting, comes with a call for drastic change.

Praising God

Sun, 29 Jul 2007 10:00:00 +0500

For many Christians and churches belonging to Christ, the praise given to God is a far contrast to what is revealed in the scriptures. For many of these Christians they need to learn how to Praise the Lord.

You Are The Light of the World

Sun, 22 Jul 2007 10:00:00 +0500

Disciples are in fact the light of the world, receiving this very light from the "Light of the world" - Jesus, our Savior. Living to the glory of God we (the Lord's disciples) will so shine our lights that those living in this dark world of sin will be able to see God's saving grace.

The Joy of Being a Christian

Sun, 15 Jul 2007 06:00:00 +0500

Yes, there are difficulties, sacrifices, trials, and persecution that the faithful Christian will face because of His walk with/in the Lord Jesus. Even then, there is great joy in being a Christian!

But For This Purpose I came to This Hour

Sun, 15 Jul 2007 13:40:00 +0500

What is our purpose here on earth? Jesus not only tells us the answer, He is the answer! Our purpose on earth is to glorify our Father in heaven. But the only way to truly glorify Him is if we die to self.

Jesus - the Beginning and Ending of Our Faith

Sun, 08 Jul 2007 18:00:00 +0500

Are you able to say that your walk is truly such where Jesus is your EVERYTHING? If so, this life becomes truly a suffering pilgrimage where our pattern of living truly despises this world while awaiting for the heavenly country.

Noah - Prepared for the Coming Day of the Lord

Sun, 08 Jul 2007 10:00:00 +0500

How many of you are truly prepared for the coming Day of the Son of Man? Unless you are "moving with godly fear" you should fear this great day and learn from Noah!

Sacrificing Your Children to Molech

Sun, 01 Jul 2007 10:00:00 +0500

Parents, sit up and listen! Charlie Thompson (one of our elders who shepherd's the flock of this church) paints an accurate but terrifying picture of what is happening among children today...which is a condemnation to many parents professing Christianity. Take heed and accountability for what you do in training your children to go to heaven.

The Christian's Reasonable Service

Sun, 13 May 2007 10:00:00 +0500

Many professing Christians TALK about serving God and some even DO THINGS in service to the Lord, but how many of these Christians GIVE their lives to the Lord, actually sacrificing their will for the Lord's? This lesson will challenge the faith and lives of those who profess to serve the Lord.

Knowledge Puffs Up But Love Edifies

Sun, 20 May 2007 06:00:00 +0500

We all have knowledge (or, at least we think we do) but such does not build up the body of Christ. Too many professing Christianity actually tear down the body (the Lord's church) with their knowledge instead of building it up with the love God demands - such is the whole of the doctrine of Christ!

The Indwelling of the Holy Spirit

Sun, 17 Jun 2007 10:00:00 +0500

When coming across scriptures that cannot be rationalized man has a tendency to NOT accept what the Bible explicitly reveals. Such is the case when dealing with the personal indwelling of the Holy Spirit. Listen to the contrasting wisdom of men (professing Christianity) with the ultimate wisdom of God's word.

Jonah's Journey

Sun, 10 Jun 2007 06:00:00 +0500

Although a prophet of God, Jonah is no different than people today. Yet, whether we accept or reject the will of God, know that God's divine providence will still work through our lives. The difference will be in how we - individually - will be judged for doing or not doing His will.

Crucifying Your Idols

Sun, 10 Jun 2007 10:00:00 +0500

When Jesus said to "cut off" the eye or hand that caused one to sin ("stumble") what He meant was that we needed to cast off the heart set on the flesh. So, what causes you to stumble in your relationship with God?

Blessed Assurance?

Sun, 20 May 2007 10:00:00 +0500

A powerful sermon that will make you rethink your Christian walk and challenge every aspect of your life in service to the Lord.

Practicing Edification

Sun, 03 Dec 2006 18:00:00 +0500

Edification is absolutely a necessary endeavor among Christians if one is to be in good thing standing with the Lord. Edification is preached from time to time, but not enough of God’s people take the Lord’s word to heart to strive for such. Other times, edification is nothing more than a perverted practice in the guise of “keeping the Lord’s church pure.” What we all need to recognize is that edification is a need, and must be practiced.

I Will Follow You Wherever You Go

Sun, 17 Dec 2006 10:00:00 +0500

Intentions and action do not necessarily go hand-in-hand. We might say something we really mean, but never follow through…for whatever the reason. What often happens is that we do not count the cost of commitment between our intentions and the life necessary to fulfill those intentions.

I Am the True Vine

Sun, 10 Dec 2006 10:00:00 +0500

Up to this point in John’s gospel is Jesus’ claim of deity primarily to His detractors: 1. “I Am the Bread of Life” – the giver/sustainer of eternal life. 2. “I Am the Light of the world” – who leads the way and is the source of salvation. 3. “I am the Door and the Good Shepherd” – also the way and source of salvation.

In the final “I am” statements Jesus now makes His claim are primarily among His disciples. Jesus wants His followers to have the conviction of who He is, even if they are not fully comprehending the fullness of His claims. As noted in the previous lesson: these claims are meant to build the faith of His disciples before He leaves them to rule from heaven. Cp. 1 Pet. 3:21-22

Taking Advantage of Opportunities

Sun, 17 Dec 2006 18:00:00 +0500

Many of the life’s duties and responsibilities might be better appreciated if viewed as opportunities. Christians are exhorted to take advantage of opportunities by "redeeming the time" (Eph. 5:15-16).

This lesson is aimed at exhorting us to look at various relationships we have with others and to take advantage of the opportunities God blesses us for the benefit of our souls and theirs.

Because of the Great I Am – in Christ, I am…

Sun, 31 Dec 2006 10:00:00 +0500

The last in a series of lessons regarding "The Great I Am". Jesus’ claim to deity means nothing if that claim wasn’t backed by the act of deity: salvation for mankind. For those who accept His claim, believe and confess Jesus as the Son of God, and humbly submit to their Lord in baptism… they have the gracious blessing of His salvation (Mark 16:16). Ultimately, these are the ones who are blessed because of the GREAT I AM.
