Person holding a firework.

Introduction

It’s a well-known fact that at the end of a year many people attempt to start life all over again. Unfortunately, most of them at the end of another whole year find themselves right where they were. Tonight even as we step into a brand new year I decided to share with you about another man who found himself in the same situation. If you have been trying to start over but weren’t successful chances are high that you have been repeating the mistakes he made. By the way, the man is known to us as Jacob. These are the mistakes he made and how he overcame them.

Christmas sermon 2012: A Season called Christmas

The Father, Mother, and the Daughter decorate a Christmas Tree.

Introduction

Luke’s narration of Jesus’ dedication in the temple (Luke 2:25-38) isn’t exclusively about Jesus’ birth and there are many other passages one can use for preaching a Christmas sermon. Still, I decided to preach from this passage because in the words of Simeon and Anna recorded in it, we discover God’s true purpose for the season we call Christmas in a nutshell. We discover that:

Sermon: Lazarus and the Rich Man

Introduction

Some think this parable was intended for unbelievers. Actually, the opposite is true. In it, Jesus targeted the Pharisees, religious authority figures of the Jewish world who indulged in wrongdoing while they had plenty of opportunities to do what was right and good.

The interpretation of the parable is even God’s people will be judged if they don’t do what is good and right when the opportunity is given. In today’s sermon, I am going to discuss this warning and its implications in detail.

Introduction

Lately, I have been thinking very much about the act of giving and studying what the Bible says about it. During these times the Holy Spirit of God brought a couple of truths to my attention. In today’s sermon, I intend to share three truths that I believe to be very important for any Christian who wishes to give for the glory of God.

Sermon: How to walk in the Spirit?

Sermon: How to walk in the Spirit?

Introduction

I want to talk about Paul’s exhortation to Galatians to “Walk in the Spirit” today (Galatians 5:16). As a Christian, I enjoy wonderful freedom in Christ. It is truly the desire of Christ that I will be free but I must not allow freedom to become a ‘license’ to sin. If I am not careful, desires of the flesh can wreak self-destruction. To prevent this the apostle Paul instructs me to walk in the Spirit. Now the question raised by most Christians is ‘How do I walk in the Spirit? In today’s sermon, I am going to show you three things you must-do if you want to walk in the Spirit.

Sermon: Principles of effective Christian Ministry

Introduction

Jesus said that anyone who has faith in Him will do greater things than what Jesus did himself. The book of Acts is the report of early Christians who had faith to do these greater things that Jesus promised. Consequently, this historical information recorded in the book makes it a good source to learn about Christian ministry. In today’s sermon, I am going to present to you four principles that make Christian ministry effective as seen in Acts 16:16-34. [Image: Marnie Pix]
