Fish, Fishing, Fishermen – Joe Cammilleri
According to the Bible, men are like fish. Therefore, the first four men God called to be his disciples were commercial fishermen. Our efforts to win men to Christ are likened to fishermen catching fish. Jesus said, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men”, Matt 4:19. God called these disciples to catch […]
Keep Witnessing in the Dark – Joe Cammilleri
Pastor Joe Cammilleri preached a message beginning in Acts 9:5 to encourage us to witness in the dark like we did in the light. We are in darker days than we were in the 70’s and 80’s. Yet, we are not anywhere close to the persecutions and trials the saints had to endure when Paul […]
As His Manner Was, Acts 17:1-4
In Acts 17:1-4, we see what Paul’s manner was when he preached the gospel in a new city. If we can glean from Paul’s manner, we can learn some things about dealing with others. Go To Them “Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them”. He didn’t expect them to come to him. He […]
Bountiful Sowing, 2 Cor 9:6
In 2 Cor 9:6, Paul encouraged the Corinthians to give bountifully to the poor saints in Jerusalem. He used the law of the land to demonstrate that bountiful sowing results in bountiful reaping and bountiful giving results in bountiful reaping, as well. Whether people sow sparingly or bountifully both “shall reap” according to 2 […]
Love the Lost, 1 Thes 3:12
The most effectual ministers of the gospel are those who love the people to whom they are ministering. This love is not merely human love; it’s the love of God. And it was most apparent in the ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ. Not only did he dearly love his disciples, but He loved us […]
Anticipating Christ’s Coming
In Sunday school we discussed the devil’s involvement in world affairs and the Bible believers’ need to watch what God is doing, instead. In this sermon we’ll now discuss what those who are anticipating Christ’s coming should be doing. To do this, let’s see what some of the folks were doing around the time of […]
Invite People To Church, 1 Cor 14:22-25
1 Cor 14:22-25 describes a church service where unbelievers are present. Therefore, you should invite people to church. Generally, prophesying is for the edification of believers, v.22; 1 Cor 14:4-5. What takes place in the service should edify the saints. Tongues, v.22, are for them that believe not, predominately because the gospel is being preached […]
We Should Be Fruitful, Rom 7:4
When God created the earth and everything in it, he made everything fruitful. In Gen 1:11, 22, 28, he made the trees and grass fruitful, the fish and fowl fruitful, and us to be fruitful. In Gen 9:1, after the flood, he told Noah and his sons to be fruitful and multiply. Therefore, as God’s […]
A Certain Man Was There, Jn 5:1-5
In Jn 5:1-5 during the passover, and by the pool Bethesda, there were a great multitude of impotent folk. People were literally everywhere during this feast. And yet in the midst of this chaos and multitude of impotent folk, Jesus noticed that a certain man was there. Jesus picked him out of the crowd. Read […]
Fear of the Jews, Jn 7:13
In the Bible, you often see a historic truth that is at the same time prophetic. For instance, during the earthly ministry of Jesus, the Jews attempted to stop his preaching. They oppressed his disciples to keep them from following him. How the disciples responded to their fear of the Jews is indicative of what […]
