Sermon: Why do we abstain from Alcohol?

Introduction

In the U.S, the Assemblies of God  has  tradi­tionally  adopted  a position of “teetotalism”  when  it comes  to the use of alcoholic beverages. Our  church is  no exception to that rule. But, in  this  age  of moral  permissiveness, how have we come to that  position and how can we defend it?

Text: Proverbs 23:29-35 & Ephesians 5:18

5. Consequences of poor preparation

I. People will leave your Church Often a sermon preached without preparation leads the congregation to boredom. "Preach It" tells what happens when the Pastor preach boring sermons.

People leave the church because of boring sermons. Some people can tell when a preacher is shooting from the hip or preaching to the choir. ‘…Study to show yourself approved…’ (2 Timothy 2:15). You are not going to keep some people unless your messages are getting into their heart and mind. They have come to hear a Word from God. Get one from the Lord for yourself and then give it to the congregation.

II. You make a clown out of yourself An unprepared Preacher would do any thing and everything to cover the poor condition of his sermon. In his effort to convince the congregation there’s a good chance he will sound like a joker.

Sermon: Four phases of the Christian life

4 phases of the Christian life

Introduction

Different people have different ideas about what the Christian life is all about. The politicians see us as “the religious right” to be courted or ridiculed. The liberals see us as “fanatic fundamentalists” who take a good thing to extremes. Even among ourselves there are differing attitudes as to what is involved in living the Christian life. I believe the normal Christian life goes through four phases.
