    INTRO.- ILL.- There is a movie called, “How to lose a guy in 10 days.” It’s a cute, funny, romantic comedy starring Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson. He tries to win her and she tries to lose him. And it turns out, of course, that they fall in love. I love it when people fall in love! How ...read more

  • The Church With Attitude Series

    Contributed by W Pittendreigh on Jun 7, 2004
    based on 19 ratings
     | 3,016 views

    The church should have an attitude -- the attitude of awe on one side, and gladness on the other -- with sincerity holding them in balance.

    I bet you are like me, in that you have a list of things to DO. Call the plumber, call the insurance agent, go by the grocery store, call your Mom, pick up the Dry Cleaners… In the Second Chapter of Acts, there is a wonderful description of a list of things churches are supposed to do. What I ...read more

  • The Church - A Family

    When we think of the church, we most often think of a place like this where we come to worship and to study and be taught God’s Word, but before the church was the institution, as we know it today, the church was a family.

    THE CHURCH – A FAMILY (Mat 12:47-50) 47, Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee. 48, But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren? 49, And he stretched forth his hand toward his ...read more

  • The Church - A Lighthouse

    based on 178 ratings
     | 31,203 views

    I have had many supporting churches, as a missionary, that the word “lighthouse” was a part of their name. The Bible makes it very clear that we as a church body are to be a lighthouse to the world.

    THE CHURCH – A LIGHTHOUSE This will be our final message in this series on the church. (Mark 16:15 NKJV) And He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. (Mat 5:14-16 NKJV) "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. {15} ...read more

  • The Church - A Hospital

     | 17,662 views

    To take a quote from last Sunday, one writer has said, “We are all healers who can reach out and offer health, and we are all patients in constant need of help.”

    THE CHURCH IS A HOSPITAL (Isa 61:1 KJV) The spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; (Isa ...read more

  • The Sound Of The Church

    based on 47 ratings
     | 13,669 views

    The glory of God carries a sound and that sound has a message. The church must have a different sound than the world. What is the sound and message of the Church of God?

    1 Corinthians 14:7 – 8 1 Samuel 4:1 – 11; 7:2 – 11 I believe that everyone here will agree that every sound carries some sort of message. For instance, if your teenage child slams the door of his/her room, it carries the message of someone that is angry. Or, if you asked your children to wash the ...read more

    The words of Jesus Christ in Matthew 16 reveal the importance of the church as Christ reveals the ownership, foundation, power, authority, and mission of the church.

    The Importance of the Church Matthew 16:13-19 Introduction: TEN THINGS YOU NEVER HEAR IN CHURCH 1. Hey! It’s MY turn to sit on the front pew! 2. I was so enthralled, I never noticed your sermon went over time 25 minutes. 3. Personally, I find witnessing much more enjoyable than golf. 4. I’ve ...read more

    This is a simple outline composed while I was on a mission trip to Vietnam and the Philipinnes. This message deals with the status of the church relative to God’s truth

    THE STATUS OF THE CHURCH 1 JOHN 1:1-10 INTRODUCTION: What is the status of the church? This morning I want to proclaim to you what I have seen, what God is doing, who he is using, and the struggles they face. My recent trip to Vietnam and the Philippines has affected me powerfully.

  • Church And State

    Contributed by Don Baggett on Feb 26, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 2,527 views

    Should there be anything said about politics from the pulpit? I submit that there is a point where church and state come together...

    I am not a politician and have not been called to be a politician. I’m glad that some people do feel a calling to take on those responsibilities, but I’m also glad that it’s not me. I am, however, a preacher of the gospel of Jesus Christ and have a strong calling on my life to preach that gospel. ...read more

    INTRO.- Church happenings. What is happening in our churches? ILL.- A group of women were talking. One lady said, “Our congregation is sometimes down to thirty and forty on Sunday night.” Another said, “That’s nothing, sometimes our group is down to six or seven.” An old maid added her bit, ...read more

  • Entertainment In The Church

    based on 14 ratings
     | 4,525 views

    The body of Christ loves to be entertained. If it doesn’t have a beat or doesn’t arouse our flesh, most of us don’t like it. We call it boring. Teenagers don’t know what to do with themselves when they go to church because they think it’s boring most of t

    By: Donna Kazenske I went to a church service at a particular church a short time ago and was totally amazed at what I heard and saw. I have been to many church services throughout the years that were very similar to this one, but for some reason God opened up my spiritual eyes to see in a way ...read more
