    based on 1 rating
     | 1,770 views

    This is a sample outline for a believer's funeral. Based on 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, the outline should provide a guide for those who are hurting to have hope and future happiness when we see Jesus!

    Introduction: This is an outline for a message I’ve used a few times whenever I was asked to preach a funeral message.

    Many schools, where I live, begin the academic year in August. Not very many students understand, though, that there is a final exam at the end of this year in spring. In the same way, we believers will have a final exam when we stand before the judgment seat of Christ.

    (Based on a message preached August 6, 2023 at First Baptist Church, Chamois, MO; not an exact transcription). Introduction: Have you noticed that some things change?

     | 1,048 views

    The Corinthian version of the Olympics was something the people of Corinth knew well. Paul used this knowledge to show how believers could win, or lose, rewards depending on how each one runs his or her race.

    Based on a message preached at First Baptist Church, Chamois, MO; not an exact transcription. Introduction: Paul had led many Corinthians to faith in Christ during his stay there (see Acts 18).

Alva J, McClain and perhaps others noted how Paul made four basic divisions: condemnation, salvation, vindication, and exhortation. Chapter 12 begins the final section and indeed begins with a word of exhortation to these ...read more

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Jun 29, 2023
     | 639 views

    Elijah and a good number of others were mentioned in the Bible, but not the names of their fathers! The world may not know them, but the Lord does, and for many of us that's good enough.

    Introduction: some of the best fathers in the Bible were never named. It would be impossible to list them all, but every one of them can take comfort that if their children lived and died as believers in the LORD, they did not live in vain. Here’s a tribute to some of them: 1 The fathers of the ...read more

     | 867 views

    Who is the worst father in the Bible? It's hard to say but Ahaz, son of Jotham and king of Judah, might rank among the worst of the worst.

    Introduction: the Bible has examples of good fathers and also bad ones. When it comes to the worst, Ahaz would be hard to beat. He had a good beginning but a terrible end.

    An Outline For "What Makes A Good Father?” Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on May 30, 2023
     | 685 views

    Scripture describes many fathers, some good and many that weren't. There is no guarantee any man will be a good father but if he follows the Lord and the Word, he'll have a better chance than those men who don't.

    Introduction: With few exceptions, every man has the opportunity and privilege of becoming a father. Whether a man becomes a good father or a bad one, really, depends on him and several choices he makes. No man will ever be a perfect father but if he follows the Bible’s guidance, he’ll have a ...read more
