Sermon Manuscripts

The manuscripts featured on this page were submitted by Adventist pastors throughout North America. Click here for usage guidelines.

The Olympics - The Bible talks about races and training and staying the course and winning a prize. What's happening on the other side of the world in Beijing that can have meaning to the searching Christian?

No Girls Allowed - Have you ever had one of those terrifying dreams where you're suddenly in something like an athletic situation way beyond what you're capable of?

Baptized with Fire - Many are ignorant of the true meaning of being baptized by the Holy Spirit. This message demonstrates that being baptized by the Holy Spirit means being empowered to effectively witness for Christ.

Free Rides to Hawaii - We are never going to become perfect by dwelling on perfection. It will only come by dwelling on Jesus and His character. This is a powerful principle of the Gospel.

God the Mechanic - There is some rather intimidating news in the six chapters Paul mails to his fledgling Christian friends living in Ephesus.

Keeping Your Gold Medals in a Safe Place - Can an Olympic winner have a gold medal . . . and then later not have it? Once the computerized scoreboard flashes your name in lights as the winner, can your prize be taken away?

Finding a Rolex on the Beach - Lift up your eyes on high, and see who has created these things, Who brings out their host by number; He calls them all by name.... Isaiah 40:26

Love or Forgiveness: Which Came First? - When we face change or uncertainty, it's easy to have doubt and frustration take us away from Jesus.

I Can Do It Myself - There's a painful decision that is oh-so-hard to make, and even in this land of cultural Christianity, there are few who comprehend it. It is difficult to admit our helplessness...

The Way It Ought To Be - In many ways, we live in a world that is not the way it ought to be. But too often we just assume that because things are the way they are (normal and average), normal and average must be OK.

Always a Lonely Road - What our hurting world actually needs is more "followership." We need disciples who will go where their Master asks them to go.

Don't Waste Your Life - There once was a Christian minister who didn't like doing what his congregation expected him to do. People were in the hospital, but he didn't get around to visiting them.

What Did God Put Me Here To Do? - There's a cute story floating around about three guys who wanted to sneak into the Olympic Village. I don't know if they thought someone there might mistake them for athletes.

Being In God's Family - The church should be a place where people can come and find that they're safely home.

Growing Up Into Christ - We have a famous line that comes from Jesus' parable in Mark 4 about how the harvest field brings forth first a blade, then the ear, and then finally the corn in full bloom in the ear.

Celebrate What God Has Done - One of the things that is so important about the concept of living for God's purposes is God says to us: Be doctors and lawyers, teachers, businesspeople, and housewives.

You Have a Mission - If the gospel truly is good news, if knowing life isn't an accident, if knowing our being here has a purpose, if knowing that God created us to love us and to have us love Him...

Shaped for Serving God - There's a cute and understated spiritual illustration that comes from one of the cinematic giants of all time: Don Knotts. Don Knotts--Barney Fife in the old Andy Griffith Show--plays the same kind of character in every film.

Sabbath Rest - Delight in the Sabbath? It can be done. In fact, God gave us the Sabbath that it would be a delight. Practical Biblical suggestions to bring delight to God's holy day.

Sabbath Wrest - Satan has desired to destroy the Sabbath from the very beginning of time, because in essence it was created to bring us into close relationship with the true God.

Power for Living - We live in a world that seems out of control. The future looks uncertain at best. Families are falling apart, leaving people empty, alone, and confused.
