Show and Tell
Pastor Craig Wagganer
Do you remember "show and tell" at school?  You took something significant to share your story about.  
What are you doing to "show" and "tell" your faith?
1 Corinthians 15:3,4
A Truly Magnetic Personality
Pastor Steve Taylor
The presence of God's fullness through Christ in our lives draws people without that saving knowledge to
be attracted to the message of the one with the truly "magnetic personality."

ISAIAH: Experiencing Tomorrow's Reality Today
When Everything Changes

Have you had a revolution in your way of thinking?  God is still asking,"Whom shall I send?"  Will you
respond like Isaiah?
Isaiah 6:1-10
Let Real Freedom Ring!
Pastor Alan Cain, Lawrenceville, Ohio  Email Alan
As we celebrate the liberty and freedoms we have been blessed with in this nation, does it make you
anticipate the perfect government and rule to come?  Are you praying for the nation?  Are you working to add
citizens to that future nation to come?  What is "real freedom" in Christ?
Do you think the Church of God's days of growing churches are over with?  James Watkins didn't, and
here's his secret method.

As the Glad Tidings Church in Fonthill, Ontario, Canada, celebrated its 102nd May meetings, Dave
encourages us to keep working for God, and teaches us about the importance of living out our faith through
the message of the kingdom and through a lifestyle of love.
The Acts 20:20 Vision
Pastor Wally Winner     Email Wally
In this series on the book of Acts, we're examining the church of the first-century Christians and what we
can learn from this dedicated fellowship of believers today.  Do you have the same vision that guided the
early disciples of Christ?
Working While Watching
Pastor Jack Hearp
So you've heard something about the return of Jesus?  You've heard something about a coming kingdom?  
But what do we do while we're waiting? Jack has the answers, and some more details about the kingdom
we're anticipating.
The Fire of John the Baptist
Pastor Dave Hixon     E-mail Dave
Has a sermon message ever "lit a fire" in your life?  Do you really believe God's kingdom message is
important enough to be shouting it from the streets?  In this message, Pastor Dave leads us to ignite a fire
for God in our lives.
The Truth: Does it Matter?  A People of Reality
Pastor John Railton     E-mail John
Continuing our series on the importance of knowing and believing the truth, and being a people living out
our faith as an example in the world.
What is God's Job?
Blair Davis
Does God have a job?  Does God give us a job to do?  A message focused on the work that God has
accomplished through his Son, and the important job he has given for us to do.
Getting Involved
S.O. Ross
In the Church of God, we have a great heritage, tracing our roots to the earliest disciples, and an even
greater message, focused on the future age to come.  But what next?  What are you doing to bring others to
the knowledge of the saving truth?
What Do They See?
John Denchfield
With a warm greeting from the Lighthouse Mission in Nova Scotia, Canada, John reminds us that we are
ambassadors for God in this world, and that the world is closely watching us.  With the story of Elijah, we
are asked:  What do they see?
The Open Bible Pulpit:  The Disciple's Character - Fulfilling Your Mission
Pastor Chuck Jones  Email Chuck
Do you have a piece of exercise equipment you never use?  Is simply owning it enough to stay in shape?  
Well, as Christians, we have a mission.  As disciples, it's up to us to make disciples.  Our promise? Jesus
is always with us. Matthew 28:16-18; Ephesians 1:15
White Fields
Pastor Francis Burnett
What a joy to be a part of such a large family - the family of God!  When you look out in the world, what do
you see?  Are we seeking the lost?  Are we living as sons and daughters of God to adopt members into our
great family?
The Open Bible Pulpit:  The Disciple's Character - The Disciple's Success
Pastor Chuck Jones  Email Chuck
How does the world define success?  Is it being famous? Possessions?  Wealth? Power?  But how does
God define success?  How has God equipped us, and how are we using his equipment?  
1 Corinthians 3:6-15; Matthew 7
The Sower, The Seed, The Soil, and The Harvest
Brother Glenn Hoey, Cashmere, Washington
At sometime in every believer's life, we are all the sower, the seed, the soil, and the harvest.  And if we've
been given so much, much is required from us.  What are our responsibilites?  Does God hold us
accountable?  Brother Glenn directs us to make a productive harvest.
Luke 12; Mark 4; Acts 17
Heralding the Restitution
Pastor Wally Winner     E-mail Wally
In this series on the book of Acts, we're examining the church of the first-century Christians and what we
can learn from this dedicated fellowship of believers today.  Since man's sin in the Garden of Eden, the
earth has been cursed.  Man's life has been shortened by the power of death.  Man's relationship with God
has been separated.  But through His son Jesus, the earth will be restored.  Death will be overcome.  And
once again, man will be united to live forever with his Creator in a restored Paradise on this earth.  Are you
ready for that day to come?
The Do-It Yourself Christian
Pastor J.R. LeCrone
We live in a time where "do-it yourself" books and programs are very popular.  As Christians, we are also
called to do work on our own to bring others to Christ.  Are you actively sharing the gospel message with the
world around you?  It's up to you.
How to Win Someone to Christ
Pastor Wally Winner     E-mail Wally
Joy Fellowship Church of God of the Abrahamic Faith  
Piedmont, South Carolina
In this series on the book of Acts, we're examining the church of the first-century Christians and what we
can learn from this dedicated fellowship of believers today.  In today's study, we take a look at Philip's
encounter with the Ethiopian as an example of seizing the opportunities God gives us to point to Christ.  Will
your listener respond to the message?
Ambassadors for Christ
Pastor John Denchfield
In today's message, Pastor Denchfield examines the story of the three Hebrew children in Daniel chapter 3.
 Despite the threat of punishment, they risked their lives, and were willing to give their lives, to only worship
the one true God.  Are you ready and willing to do the same?  Will the world see who you worship?
The Voice of Truth Broadcast:  Let's Go Fishing
Pastor Jeff Fletcher  E-mail Jeff
Bethel Church of God of the Abrahamic Faith, Pelzer, South Carolina
Everybody likes to share some good news.  In fact, as disciples of Christ, that's our primary mission.  Take
a look at Simon the fisherman.  In all ways, he was mostly unqualified, but he was called by Jesus to
spread the gospel.  Today's study looks at 5 ways to become a fisher of men.  Are you being called into
action?  Are you just involved?  Or are you totally committed?   
Luke 4:43; 5:1-11; Joshua 1:8; Psalm 119:11; James 1:22; Psalm 1
What a Day!
Pastor Dave Hixon    E-mail Dave
Brush Creek Church of God   Tipp City, Ohio
God gives each and every one of us the opportunity to be a part of His church.  God has chosen you!  Did you
ever think about that?  As we look and unspeakable joy of that day when the Apostle Peter gave one of the
best sermons ever recorded.  Can people see that same joy in us when we preach the gospel?  In today's
text, we find three things we can learn for the church of today as we reflect on the birth day of the church.
The Sower, the Seed, and the Soils
Pastor Joe Myers    E-mail Joe
Cornerstone Bible Church    McDonough, Georgia
What's the real job of every Christian?  In today's lesson from the Parable of the Sower, we learn that not
everyone is called to water, fertilize, or harvest the crop.  But
every believer is called to sow good seed.  
Sometimes the seed will fall on bad soil.  Sometimes the message will never take root.  But we can't be
discouraged.  It's up to us to spread the seed.  It's up to God to bring the increase.  So are
you ready to start
planting?
Matthew 13:1-9,18-23,37; 1 Corinthians 3:6-9
Soul-Winning
Fred Pensyl    2-17-1974
It may not always be comfortable.  Often, it's not.  It may not always be easy.  It usually isn't.  But God has
given us a special work assignment until Jesus returns.  We have been given the most important task of all:
to bring lives to the saving message of the gospel.  Fred helps us learn some practical, biblical steps to
becoming a "soul-winner" for the Lord.
How to Effectively Share Your Faith
Pastor Alan Cain    E-mail Alan
Lawrenceville Church of God   Springfield, Ohio
It does no good if you call yourself a fisherman and meet week after week to talk about fishing, to plan
better strategies, to get better fishing poles, and better lures - but you never put a hook in the water.  The
question then is are you really a fisherman at all?  Too often, individually and in our churches, we spend a
lot of time talking about "fishing," but we spend very little time actually out in the water.
Missions Mindset
Pastor Michael Cisler    E-mail Mike
North Kent Bible Church   Rockford, Michigan
How can we be a part of purposeful outreach?  How can what we do impact others here and worldwide?  
First, we have to change our perspective.  It's not all about us.  God has equipped us for an important
mission.  It's up to us to accomplish what He has planned for us.  Jesus said, "Go!"  That's an action.  So
get off the couch, and "go!"
Missional Living: As the Father Sent Me
Pastor Kyle Casey
North Hills Church of God  Springfield, Ohio
What does it mean to be "missional?"  Do you approach your personal evangelism going "us to them" or
waiting for "them to come to us"?  Before Jesus left his disciples, he gave them some final words.  He
sent them into action.  He gave them a mission.  And we have the same mission.  He said, "Go."  We are
to penetrate the culture and live out our faith in such a way that it is known everywhere.
Matthew 28:16; John 20:21-23
Reborn to Reproduce
Pastor Dick Eldred
When we read about Jesus and his disciples, we find they had one message they were proclaiming.  In
fact, Jesus said that he was sent for this purpose of preaching the gospel.  And it is in that same
message we find the mighty power of God.  If we have the spirit of God in our lives, we will boldly declare
the message of God to the world.  Our mission is the same.  Our message is the same - and it cannot be
silenced.
Matthew 3:14; 4:23; Luke 4:33; 8:1; 9:1,2; 24:49;
Acts 1:3, 12-14; 3; 4:1,2, 8; 8:5; 5:32;9:17, 20, 22; 19:8; 28:3; John 14:15
Effective Witnessing
Pastor Neal Bryant    E-mail Neal
Abundant Life Community Church  Rockford, Illinois
So what's so important about witnessing?  What's the purpose?  And how do we witness to others?  
What's the message we're sharing in the way we speak
and in how we live?  Pastor Neal teaches us how
to make witnessing a personal and positive part of our lives.
Matthew 24:14; Proverbs 14:25; Acts 22:13-16; Mark 6:3
