Sermons- Trinity Bible Fellowship Davenport

Jesus’ suffering was terrible, but what He accomplished is glorious.

“It is too small a thing that You restore Israel.  I will also make you a light of the nations.”  This is a message on the value of Christ. 

Isaiah 42:1-4:  Jesus did not demand His rights or look out for Himself, but He did go out of His way to be gentle with sinners. 

God made many creatures on our planet, but only one is made in the image of God.  God considers us special, and because of that, we are. 

It is time to stand back and take a good look at God.  A little change in perspective is good for us.

We all like to announce the birth of our children.  God did, too.  We announce things like date, gender, and weight.  God announces things like Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace.

A Christmas sermon by Dan Shumway

Introductions are in order; Have you met Jesus?

Mike Bell addresses the question, "Why did Jesus come as a baby?"

John the Baptist literally appeared in the wilderness, crying out, “Make ready the way of the Lord,” but we should all be making it easier for people to come to Christ.

The servant does the job hes been given thats all In the Church it is God who gets the glory

Jesus commanded us to go and make disciples How do we do that

For some reason many Christians seem to prefer not to grow up That is foolish lazy and unnatural We need to move beyond petty things and on to maturity

God reveals to us what we could never figure out for ourselves And what He reveals is truly wonderful

It is tempting when a listener is not satisfied with the Bible to want to add to it It is important to recognize that God has spoken and His power is in His words

Some of us really are wiser than others some have made fewer or smaller mistakes Some have committed more offensive sins It makes no difference The ground is level at the foot of the cross and we all are saved on the same basis and there is no place for pride

Men flatter themselves by means of their intelligence and reason but that is a mistake The power to save us is revealed not by reason but by the God who saves us

As mentioned last Sunday Corinth was a messed up church But it was still the Church Sometimes we need to remind ourselves that we are works in progress

One of the rules of preaching is You have to go through Corinth to get to fill in the blank The blank is where you live The rule means we first have to understand what the message meant to its first audience before we can understand what it means to us The thing is as we look at Corinth we may find we are already there

We will celebrate Gods love as shown by His gift to us
