    3 Easter B

    In our worship Jesus comes among us and tells us "Peace be with You." Our worship reflects the events of the resurrection.

    3 Easter B Luke 24:36b-48 4 May 2003 Rev. Roger Haugen A young pastor was fishing for comments at the door following one of his sermons that he felt was particularly profound. One older man responded, “Sometimes we come to church because of the pastor and sometimes we come in spite of the ...read more

    Gatekeeper, Gateopener

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Nov 19, 2000
    based on 77 ratings
     | 9,817 views

    The pastor has two roles that must not be reduced -- a gatekeeper to guard against useless ideas and hateful attitudes, and a gateopener to let in God's surprises.

    Do you think the Lord has a sense of humor? I do. I see a delicious little coincidence that God’s word drops in our laps today. Some of us remember a 70’s TV program, the Mary Tyler Moore show. If you remember that program, you will recall that sweet, nice, loveable Mary lived in an apartment ...read more

    Desperate Enough To Pray

    Contributed by Tim Hinrichs on Oct 16, 2011
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,333 views

    Jesus teaches us the key to releasing his power in the world and that is through corporate prayer. It is also the key to growth in the church - are we desperate enough to pray together for God’s power to come down?

    Korea is home to many of the largest Christian churches in the world. They have one of the largest Baptist churches, largest Methodist churches, largest Presbyterian churches, largest Pentecostal churches. In fact the largest congregation in the world, the Yoido Full Gospel Church in Seoul has over ...read more

    This sermon is a charge to the congregation for the ordination service of an inner city pastor.

    Ordination Service for Outreach Pastor - The Passion and Purpose of the Urban Pastor Ephesians 4:1-5, 11-13; 1 Peter 2:9-10 This is a very special day.

    On Membership Part Two Series

    Contributed by Ken Mckinley on Jul 16, 2023
     | 389 views

    the Bible clearly teaches that Christians are members of the Body of Christ. But is local church membership Biblical? We examine this in this study. This is not a typical sermon, but more of a Bible study lesson for our congregation.

    In doing some serious study on membership and what that looks like in the Church at a local level one encounters a potential problem. It just isn’t there. That’s not to say it is bad, wrong, or sinful to have formal membership rolls, as having such is very practical and quite helpful to local ...read more

    Based on Acts 2:42-47 - The Church is not a place, but there are places that the Church ought to be.

    “THE PLACES” Acts 2:42-47 FBCF – 3/6/22 Jon Daniels INTRO – Roll call in school. Answered, “Here,” or “Present.” Means, “I’m in my place where I’m supposed to be.

    This common reason for not coming to church shows two fundamental misunderstandings: 1) what is a Christian and 2) what is church. Help someone see that being a Christian means being part of a church.

    People are not going to church as much as they used to. I could give you the statistics, but I don’t think that I need to because you’ve probably personally observed or experienced it yourself. You may have seen it with your own family members, your co-workers, your friends, in the conversations ...read more

    This message frames the great commission as an operations order from our Commander-in-Chief, Jesus Christ.

    Part 10 - Matthew 8:18-34 - When Jesus Skips Out On Church, You Know Someth Series

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Mar 2, 2010
    based on 7 ratings
     | 5,309 views

    It's interesting to me that Jesus called His disciples to leave the crowd and His disciples and they experience some spiritual warfare as they cross to the other side of the lake. Why would Jesus miss this opportunity, when He had a crowd gathered?

    Part 10 - Matthew 8:18-34 - WHEN JESUS SKIPS OUT ON CHURCH, YOU KNOW SOMETHING IS WRONG! I remember as a young student Pastor being invited to a Church for afternoon tea. They said they wanted to pray for me. What I didn't realise is that they wanted to pray for me to be their Pastor. At the end ...read more

    As we move away from COVID restrictions this message was to remind folks why we worship in person

    I never thought I would see the day in Canada that Christians would be unable to come together, in person, to worship. Then again, I never imagined a Global Pandemic either. The joke with pastors is that we all skipped the class on pastoring in a pandemic. I’ve been asked many times if what we are ...read more

    He Taught Them Many Parables… (The Parable Of The Wheat And Tares) # 2

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 15, 2022
     | 2,105 views

    Again, I would like to remind you that parables were one of the favorite tools the Lord used in teaching spiritual truths.

    The Lord would take something physical that they all were familiar with, and use it to teach them a valuable spiritual lesson. This method of teaching is referred to as parables. And the Bible said that He taught them many parables. For example, in our scripture today, He used the parable of “The ...read more

    The devil reminds you of your past and tries to weaken you; however, it is time to put your feet on his neck and choke him.

    The enemy is under your feet! Joshua 10:24 "Come near, put your feet on the necks of these kings." So they came near and put their feet on their necks.” This scripture is too awesome, I want you guys to really comprehend the spiritual truth behind this atom bomb verse and get ...read more

    Re-Creating The Effective Pastoral Minister Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 5, 2015
     | 3,426 views

    It is important that those involved in pastoral ministry be focused on their goal, not on their comfort.

    Thursday of the third Week in Lent Joy of the Gospel Jesus shares with us today an unforgettable phrase: “He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me scatters.” The image this summons up is of a shepherd and His flock. Jesus came to gather together the ...read more

    Describes and contrasts the hearts of the Pastor, the People and God, leading to reconciliation.

    Heart of the matter Have you ever tried to buy something in an electronics store recently?
