Isaiah 64:1-9

Sermon

J. Howard Olds

... ?" I must confess to you I do. Some days I say, “O Dear Lord, why don't you just one Sunday, let yourself be known? Why don't you become more exciting than a football game, more interesting than golf, more spectacular than a getaway weekend? Would you make known your works among the people? Would you send a tingle up our spine and a wave of awe across the world? Would you shake us loose from politeness and once more let us encounter your power? Would you blow like the wind, burn like the fire, and touch ...

2. Elohim

John 1:29-34, Genesis 1:1-2:3

Sermon

Lori Wagner

... more will the master of the world reveal to us! And God so loved the world, that He revealed His Son, a gift beyond measure and more intimate than imaginable. “See me,” God says. “Know me.” “Love me.” “Be with me.” To reveal is to make known and to make familiar --to allow one to view something within a familiar frame of reference, so that what was formerly unseen can be seen and known. And this is the basis for relationship. You cannot know you are in relationship with something you do not ...

3. The Bramble King

John 15:1-17, John 15:18--16:4, John 16:5-16

Sermon

Lori Wagner

... speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. He will glorify me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you. All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will receive from me what he will make known to you.” Image Exegesis: Judas “Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. 10 For the love of money ...

4. Proclaiming Jesus Christ

2 Corinthians 4:3-6

Sermon

Donald Charles Lacy

... total commitment. If death came, so be it. For him it would be approaching a welcome exit to spend eternity with the Father's Son. Are such people around and visible today? The answer to that is up to you. Focus Our real mission is to make known the Christ. Body 1. We are to rise above personal egotism for Christ's sake. Church history tells many opportunities for conversion have been lost because a religious leader refused to enable Christ to become the center of things. He/she tragically could not give up ...

6. Moving At The Speed Of Light: Unknown Apostles

1 Corinthians 2:6-16

Sermon

Frank Luchsinger

... we be unknown and partially known apostles remembering that God and the Savior are also partially known. For we do our giving, helping, saving, not for adulation in the eyes of men and women, but for the love of God. While of course it is important that we make known to whom the glory belongs, and also important that we be vital in the knowledge of who drives us as we give, help, and save. More important still is the saving done when we set aside our own glory, for this more truly reflects the example of ...

7. How to Handle the Mess of Stress

Exodus 18:23-27

Sermon

James Merritt

... you alone sit, and all the people stand before you from morning until evening?' And Moses said to his father-in-law, ‘Because the people come to me to inquire of God. When they have a difficulty, they come to me, and I judge between one and another, and I make known the statues of God and His laws.' So Moses' father-in-law said to him, ‘The thing that you do is not good. Both you and these people who are with you will surely wear yourselves out. For this thing is too much for you; you are not able to ...

8. Three In One

John 16:12-15

Sermon

Dave Zuchelli

... established the relationship between himself and the Holy Spirit. Still, there was more to come. He said something very telling in verse fifteen: “All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will receive from me what he will make known to you.” So the Holy Spirit receives from Jesus “all that belongs to the Father” because all that belongs to the Father belongs to Jesus as well. The Spirit, in turn, makes these things known to the apostles in order to glorify Jesus. What we ...

9. What Does God Really Want?

2 Corinthians 8:1-5

Sermon

James Merritt

... to contribute. But what Paul was trying to explain to the church at Corinth really was grace, and he used a group of Christians at a place called Macedonia to illustrate what God really wants. I. God Wants Us To Know His Grace "Moreover, brethren, we make known to you the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia:" (v.1) There was something special about these Macedonian Christians; they knew the grace of God. They did not just know about the grace of God, they knew the grace of God. How did ...

10. Milli Vanilli Religion

Matthew 7:15-23

Sermon

James Merritt

... when they're really on the road to hell. Anyone can say that Jesus is Lord. But only a true Christian can show that He is Lord, share that He is Lord, and surrender to Him as Lord. That is exactly what 1 Cor. 12:3 means. "Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed, and no one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit." So many people misunderstand Baptists and their belief popularly known as "once saved, always saved." People think that we believe ...

11. Uncovering Cover-Ups

John 15:18--16:4

Sermon

Maurice A. Fetty

... part of his doctoral thesis. The cover-up was uncovered. Is it any wonder this is happening? It is precisely what Jesus predicted and promised to his disciples. The Holy Spirit, the Spirit of truth, will come and will expose the deeds of people, making known the thoughts and intents of the heart. This Divine Spirit which he would send from the Father, would convict the world of sin, of righteousness and of judgment. The Spirit will uncover what is covered up. Consider first the matter of sin. Some years ...

12. Which End Is Up?

Ephesians 3:1-13

Sermon

Leonard Sweet

... the same time is identified as “the least of all the saints” but is nevertheless the one chosen to reveal this great “mystery,” this new creation, to the Gentile world. Indeed the Pauline mission has the loftiest of expansion plans: making known the gospel of Christ “to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places” (v.10). These “rulers and authorities” are cosmic powers, malevolent forces found beyond the earthly realm. The ultimate Pauline mission is to take the “manifold wisdom of ...

14. He Came by Night

John 3:1-21

Sermon

David G. Rogne

... claim his body and prepare it for burial. I had learned from him that I didn't have to be afraid or cautious any longer. I can say now that I am not ashamed to call him my teacher and to believe what he said. I am convinced that Jesus makes known to us the love of God, but we are the ones who have to decide whether to believe him or not. You can take it from me, that decision makes all the difference, for now and for eternity.

15. Kindness In Action: Evangelism

Acts 8:26-40

Sermon

E. Carver McGriff

... is immediately apparent in time and effort. Some other elements seem important, also. Philip seems not to have taken notice of the man's station, neither impressed by his success, nor patronizing of the man's limitations. He was open to allow the eunuch to make known his needs and to help him as asked. Another important but easily overlooked fact is that having done all he could, Philip quietly slipped away. There was no feeling of indebtedness, no effort to be reimbursed in some way, no follow-up to ensure ...

16. Gaining A Gratitude Attitude

Philippians 4:2-9

Sermon

King Duncan

... our heart and God's. It is not merely a ritual we go through or a cheap means of getting what we want. It is a means by which we stay in the presence of the Divine. It is a means by which we not only make known our requests of Him, but He also makes known His requests of us. St. Paul understood and lived that kind of prayer. He was connected to the source of all power, all love, all hope. St. Paul had a gratitude attitude, first of all, because he sincerely believed in prayer. ST. PAUL ALSO FOCUSED ON ...

17. Family Re:Union - (PG) Parental Guidance Required

Psalm 127:1-5

Sermon

James Merritt

... offend some of you, but I stand by it before I say it. It is better for parents not to have children than to have children and not do everything they can to teach them to love God, serve others and share their faith. Isaiah 38:19 says.“One generation makes known your faithfulness to the next.” (Isaiah 38:19, LB) Your family is meant to be a relay of God and God’s truth from one generation to the next. You are just a link in a long, long chain. You had better remember this when you are training your ...

18. Secret Savior

Matthew 6:5-15, Matthew 6:16-18

Sermon

Lori Wagner

... power and dominion over all of the earth, calling others too to loyalty to the One True God. But God’s kingdom is blessed, it is holy, and it is eternal. “They shall speak of the glory of Your Kingdom and talk of Your power; To make known to the sons of men Your mighty acts and the glory of the majesty of Your kingdom. Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and Your dominion endures throughout all generations.…” says the psalmist. (Psalm 145:11-13) By saying this prayer, you are affirming that God ...

19. What Do I Do When The Load Is Too Heavy?

Sermon

James Merritt

... sit as judge and all the people stand about you from morning until evening?' Moses said to his father-in-law, 'Because the people come to me to inquire of God. When they have a dispute, it comes to me, and I judge between a man and his neighbor and make known the statutes of God and His laws.' Moses' father-in-law said to him, 'The thing that you are doing is not good. You will surely wear out, both yourself and these people who are with you, for the task is too heavy for you; you cannot do it alone ...

20. Let God Be God

John 3:1-21

Sermon

Dean Lueking

... through to us in a tri-fold fashion. That is what the ancients meant when they spoke of the persons of the Godhead - person means a way of existence, a way of showing forth the main thing. God is Love The main thing, the one thing, that God wants to make known to us is that he is love. Nothing God ever reveals of himself is apart from his love. That is why the text from John 3 reaches its climax in this great affirmation: "God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him might ...

21. Surely, Surely

Luke 1:1-4, Luke 1:26-38

Sermon

Lori Wagner

... ; I will trust and not be afraid. The Lord, the Lord himself, is my strength and my defense; he has become my salvation.” With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation. In that day you will say: “Give praise to the Lord, proclaim his name; make known among the nations what he has done, and proclaim that his name is exalted. Sing to the Lord, for he has done glorious things; let this be known to all the world. Shout aloud and sing for joy, people of Zion, for great is the Holy One of Israel ...

22. Completing The Master's Work

Luke 24:44-53

Sermon

Richard Gribble

... in science and others are wonderful teachers. Some people have been given great athletic ability and some of God's people are very fortunate - they have been blessed with multiple talents. Whatever gifts received from God must be returned in our effort to make known to others the imminence of God in our world. We must show others that love conquers hate, faith dispels fear, that community can take us further than personal initiative alone. We must do our share to build the kingdom now. Jesus ascends to ...

23. From Ha-Ha's to Ah-ha's

John 16:5-16

Sermon

Leonard Sweet

... the Spirit of truth, would come to them in the post-resurrection age and would reveal to disciples things they could not "bear," could not take in or understand, during their time with the earthly Jesus. In this new age the Holy Spirit would make known to the disciples things that had previously been obscured, shrouded from their insight. The Holy Spirit will speak and "Aha," all the things Jesus had spoken of would suddenly make sense. The Holy Spirit will reveal and "Aha," the divinely intended outcome of ...

24. Point Of Origin

Genesis 1:1-2:3

Sermon

Harold Warlick

... a new historical recognition. January is the time when we mark a new beginning, a new creation, on our calendar-conscious minds. Both the calendar and the Genesis 1 text call us to reflect on this strange Christian term, "epiphany." The word means "to make known." Essentially, it's when something is recognized for what it is. When the wise men saw Jesus and knew what he looked like, that was an epiphany. Actually, Jesus was not the Messiah or the Savior until somebody recognized him as the Messiah. Like ...

25. Dress For Faithfulness

Ephesians 6:10-20

Sermon

Billy D. Strayhorn

... the word of God. [18] Pray in the Spirit at all times in every prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert and always persevere in supplication for all the saints. [19] Pray also for me, so that when I speak, a message may be given to me to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel, [20] for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it boldly, as I must speak. As we "Dress For Faithfulness" in the Armor of God, let's look at DEFENSE, OFFENSE AND PRESENCE. I. Defense A. First ...
