Becoming an Effective Witness
by Ernest Easley
What an exciting week we've had around here! I'm talking about the WIN SCHOOL! Several who had nagging doubts about their salvation settled the issue last Sunday night! And then on Monday and Tuesday we learned how to have a daily cleansed life and how to be spirit-filled! Wednesday night came and over 30 teams of 3 went out with the intention of sharing the Lord Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit and leaving the results to God. And at least three people prayed that night in their homes to receive Jesus as savior and Lord. And then tomorrow night and for the next six weeks, we're going to have some continued...
John the Baptist: The Greatest among Women (14 of 18)
by Ken Trivette
There are many personalities in the New Testament, but unique among them all is John the Baptist. F.B. Meyer wrote: Every sign attests the unique and singular glory of the Baptist. Not that his career was signalized by the blaze of prodigy and wonder, like the multiplication of the widow's meal or the descent of the fire of heaven to consume the altar and the wood; for it is expressly said that ''John did no miracle.'' Not that he owed anything to the adventitious circumstances of wealth and rank; for he was not a place-loving courtier, ''clothed in soft raiment or found in kings' courts.'' Not that he was a master of a superb eloquence like...
Sent - John the Baptist (2 of 34)
by Zach Terry
This week life as we know it will change for much of our congregation because school starts back. Life will change for - 1. Our kids - It an exciting sometimes scary thing to be moving up a grade. 2. Our teenagers - a. You are being sent into the most strategic mission field on the planet. A place where a group of people are gathered of whom 80+ percent will make a decision for or against Christ - literally in the coming months. A place where I as a Pastor cannot come a freely preach the Gospel. 3. For Parents and Grandparents - a. In the coming days your time will be filled with rehearsals, recitals, practices and games. You will...
Lessons in Humility from John the Baptist (8 of 10)
by John Barnett
This morning I invited you to consider Jesus, humility-and the greatest man who ever lived up until Christ. The supreme lesson of John the Baptist's life is humility. And there can be no more vital message that we all need to hear than that God HATES pride. God uses John because he was willing to obey the Lord and by the power of the Holy Spirit in his life cultivate humility. PRIDE IS AN EPIDEMIC James Bjoanstad writes: At one time, most Christians believed that to have a close relationship with God, a person should magnify God, deny himself and the pleasures of this world, repent and confess his sins, and live a holy and separated....
The Greatest Man Who Ever Lived
by Jerry Vines
In this passage of Scripture, the Lord Jesus says about John the Baptist that he was the greatest man, born of women, up until that particular time. When you study the conclusion of the life of John the Baptist is certainly does not seem to be the conclusion of a successful ministry. In fact, it seems to be quite a sad ending to the ministry of John. John had been quite a preacher. He had had quite a ministry. He was courageous, fiery, and confrontational. He concludes his ministry in a prison. For about a year he had been in a prison five miles east of the Dead Sea. The place where he was really not prison as we would consider one today....
A God-Given Identity
by Tony Nester
I heard a story about a soldier who had suffered a traumatic wound in World War I and had lost much of his memory. He made a practice of attending veterans' conventions and crying out, ''Can anyone tell me who I am?'' Each of us has to answer the question, ''Who am I?'' We all need to be named. It's one of the gifts our parents give us - they name us. In our younger years we're desperate to find friends who like us, approve of us, and tell us we belong in their circle of relationships. This is a dangerous time because we're so hungry for acceptance that we'll say and do things we don't really want to say or do just to be included. We can't...
The Wonder of Jesus’ Baptism (1 of 5)
by Jeff Strite
OPEN: A little girl wanted to get baptized but her mother wanted her to attend some classes to make sure she knew what she was committing herself to. After one of the classes, her mother asked, ''Honey, what does baptism mean?'' Thinking hard, the little girl the finally said, ''Well, it isn't the water that makes you clean ...'' she began.The mother thought, ''Yes, she understands.''Then smiling brightly, her daughter quickly added, ''...It's the soap.'' (Verna Chambers, Willcox, Ariz. ''Kids of the Kingdom,'' Christian Reader) APPLY: Obviously, that little girl didn't understand what baptism meant. Does anybody here know what baptism means...
The Importance of Baptism
by Rex Yancey
I was baptized in a farm pond, in the summertime, along with 28 other people. We had no baptisteries in those days, and we had to be saved up until the water got warm. Needless to say, it was a memorable experience. The church would gather around the pond and sing hymns like ''Shall we gather at the river,'' and ''On Jordon's stormy banks.'' There are certain days that stand out in people's lives, and baptism is one of them. Baptism and the Lord's Supper are the two ordinances of the church. Both of them were commanded by our Lord. That makes them important. There are some false ideas about the Lord's Supper and baptism. Neither...
John the Baptist - The Friend of the Bridegroom (11 of 15)
by Clarence E. Macartney
Once on a bright June day I stood upon a summit of the Blue Ridge Mountains. To the north and to the south stretched the mountains, their mighty shoulders draped with a haze of infinite blue. In front of me lay the Cumberland Valley, well-watered, like the garden of the Lord. I could see the fields and orchards with their alternate hues like checkered squares; the white ribbons that marked the fine highways along which half a century ago might have been seen the eager soldiery of Lee as his army marched into Pennsylvania; the enormous red barns, the white towers of the hamlet churches, the gray stone farmhouses, and man...
Lessons from the Life of John the Baptist
by David Cook
What's in a name? Names are significant. Names have a purpose. John 1:6, ''There came a man sent from God, whose name was John''Let's discover some wonderful truths from the Bible about this man sent from God, whose name was John. 1. Understand God's Delays are not God's Denials The Godly Parents of John (Luke 1:5-13) Zacharias and Elizabeth were barren. Jewish theology was that barrenness was a sign of God's displeasure. Can you imagine how they must have felt? They must have felt at times like God was displeased with their lives. They were at times rejected by the friends and families of those that were blessed...
The Baptism of John (13 of 26)
by Daniel Rodgers
INTRODUCTION: In our lesson this evening, we find Paul back in the city of Ephesus. You will remember in chapter 18, he had left Aquila and Priscilla at Ephesus, as he journeyed to Jerusalem in order to keep the feast. Upon his return to Ephesus, Paul meets 12 Christians ("disciples") who had not yet heard of the baptism of the Holy Spirit. They understood only the baptism of John and the promise of a coming Messiah. Once Paul explained the significance of the Holy Spirit, they were all baptized in the name of Jesus, receiving the Holy Spirit. There are two points this evening:I. John's Baptism II. Holy Spirit Baptism I....
Introduction to John (1 of 7)
by Jerry Branch
Introduction: I hope you remember that last week as we entered into 2017, I said that the best way for us to face this New Year is to remember that we must LOOK FORWARD and we need to keep our eyes on Christ...that translates to: listening to Him, both in prayer and as we read our Bibles; it means talking with Him in prayer, and it also means our obeying Him. Jesus is the KEY. So ok...back to the best way to face 2017...if looking forward and keeping our eyes on Jesus is in fact what we're really serious about doing in 2017, then I felt it would help us by sharing with you more about this 'being IN Christ' thing that we talk about...It's for...
