    Principle Of Harvest

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 25, 2024
     | 164 views

    When the church sows an immature, diluted, hybrid and substandard seed, DO NOT expect to reap a mature and strong church of Christ. What kind of disciples did Jesus have?

    Opening Illustration: Somewhere in the world right now a farmer is dropping seeds into the ground. Soon those seeds will begin to germinate where they were planted. The carefully prepared soil that appears barren today will become a field ready for harvest. This prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi ...read more

    The Echelon Principle

     | 2,990 views

    If the body of Christ is to function properly, we can’t just have a few members doing all the ministry by themselves, while the rest of the people watch the show. Jethro told Moses he needed to appoint others to help him.

    Our message for this evening is entitled “The Echelon Principle.” I am not going to tell you what an echelon is just yet; however, some of you might already know. I will tell you that it has something to do with playing on the same team, and striving together toward a common goal and purpose. ...read more

    As we read Genesis, we need to understand how it fits into the Old Testament and within God’s plan.

    As we read Genesis, we need to understand how it fits into the Old Testament and within God’s plan. Genesis is the first book of Moses, of the law, of the Pentateuch, of the Torah. How does Old Testament law relate to Christians? It applies in spirit and not in the letter. “who has made us ...read more

    Jesus talks about asking, seeking, and knocking. It's all about the privilege that we have to make our requests known unto God through prayer.

Chapters five, six, and seven of Matthew are Jesus delivered sermons on the mount on the northern coast of the Sea of Galilee. “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 For ...read more

    Leading others to Christ is a persistent and consistent call to patiently engage others with the Gospel that will convince them to "come down out of the tree with joy" like Zacchaeus.

    WE ARE CALLED TO MAKE DISCIPLES IN OBEDIENCE TO OUR COMMAND OF THE GREAT COMMISSION OF JESUS. WE ARE ALL GIFTED WITH THE ABILITY TO LEAD OTHERS TO CHRIST.

    Peter’s character flaw was "I can do all things." Until he knew to place his life totally in Christ’s hands, he was the embodiment of the Peter Principle.

    OPEN: I recently heard a radio announcer tell about a man who went through a drive up at a KFC restaurant. He ordered about $6 worth of food and then pulled up to give his money to the teller.

    The Joseph Principle

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Nov 22, 2023
     | 635 views

    But that principle does not apply to the story of Joseph in Genesis. In fact, the example of how Joseph succeeded and was used by God is the opposite of the Peter Principle. It is enough different that it deserves its own name. It can be called the Joseph Principle.

    Alba 6-30-13 THE JOSEPH PRINCIPLE Genesis 50:19-21 Have you heard of the Peter Principle? It was formulated by Laurence J. Peter and Raymond Hull in their 1969 book called The Peter Principle.

    God has prepared us for a ministry. Why do we think God has prepared us our entire life to fail? Won’t He be with us along the journey?

    Several centuries ago, a Japanese emperor commissioned an artist to paint a picture of a bird. A number of months passed, then several years, and still no painting was brought to the palace. Finally the emperor became so exasperated that he went to the artist’s home to demand an explanation. But ...read more
