Pastor Ricky Taylor

“Preach….
JESUS”

Scripture Text – I Corinthians 1:21-24

Have you ever wondered why the church is in the world? Is it to praise and worship? We will do that in heaven. The thing we can do here that we will not do in heaven is to reach the lost. So, the prime objective of the church is simply “Preach Jesus.”

The role of preaching Jesus is not limited to pastors and evangelists. Every believer has been called to let his light shine and to be salt. Every believer is to proclaim the good news – Jesus saves!

Jesus Is The Message
Have you noticed how easy it is to talk to strangers about the weather or children or the job, but not to talk about Jesus?

But, Jesus is the message…

* To the lost, Jesus is the way.

* To the lonely, Jesus is the friend
that sticks closer than a brother.

* To the child, Jesus is the Father
to the fatherless.

* To the sick, Jesus is the Great
Physician.

* To the addicted, Jesus is the
Deliverer.

* To the broken hearted, Jesus
heals the heart.

* To the dying, Jesus is the
resurrection.

* To the sinner, Jesus is the
Savior.

* To the church, Jesus is the Lord.

Jesus is the message. He is the answer. He is the hope for the hopeless, help for the helpless, and balm for the wounded. Buddha says, “There is a way,” Muhammad says, “Look for the way,” and Confucius says, “Seek the way,” but Jesus says, “I am the way.” Preach Jesus!

There Is Power In The Message
Paul said, “I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God unto salvation…”! The book of Acts teaches us that God works most powerfully through churches that preach Jesus. Preaching Jesus changes lives, as Peter saw on the day of Pentecost when 3,000 souls were saved. It wasn’t the message of Darwin that changed my life. It wasn’t the message of self-help or democracy that brought peace to this troubled soul. No! It was the message of Jesus. It was the message of the healing stream that flowed from Emmanuel’s veins. Preach Jesus! There is power in the message. Power to open prison doors of sin. Power to lift the condemnation. Power to overcome guilt.

We Have Been Empowered To Preach The Message
In Acts 1:8, Jesus said, “Ye shall receive power… and ye shall be witnesses…” God didn’t give the church power simply to shout. He gives power to be witnesses. The power of God is never nearer than when you talk about Jesus. Preach Jesus to that neighbor whose husband left her. Preach Jesus to that addicted soul. Preach Jesus! You have the authority to be a witness.

Jesus is the message; there is power in the message and you are empowered to preach the message. Preach Jesus!

Re: Your church info....

What!?!

Nobody's proud of their church? While Christian Tabernacle isn't necesarily my home church (too far to drive), it would be, if I were closer. But, I am proud (is it a sin to be proud in this sense?), of the brother who pastors this church. Bro. Rick is a fine brother, pastor of a fine, but small, church. Like Elisha, he has picked up his dad's mantle, and carries on the work of the Kingdom of God. No, he isn't his dad, as Elisha wasn't an Elijah. Bro. Rick has a different style, a different "flair", yet the ends results are the same. The word is preached, souls are being reached, and people are being blessed. I considered Bro Taylor (Ricks dad) as my pastor. And, I guess I do the same with Bro. Rick (and that's not just because we share the same first name).

Yeah... bad ain't I? The truth is, I don't have a church.

1. I am not a pastor. Nor am I a preacher. Use to be an evangelist, but that ship has sailed.

2. I don't have a church that I am a part of. Not as yet, anyway. I live in an area where there are no Oneness churches to speak of. I visit churches as I can, but there isn't one in my area that I feel comfortable with being apart of. Going tomorrow to see if I can do take some steps to rectify that situation. Need a good man or woman to come to this area to start a good Oneness Church.

We recently departed from an assembly that was in a decent drivable distance from our house because we felt it was pointless to continue there. There is nothing else so close to our house that we are aware of and see as a possibility. Any further possibilities would be between 30 to 45 minutes to get to...and finances are tight to afford the gas that would take a few times a week.

Re: Your church info....

OneAccord, hello--I know more about you than you do me because I am a long time lurker and rarely post. Long story short, I grew up UPC and now I'm not. But I miss the worship and have a hard time with the lingo of the trinity churches and the way they baptism. What part of AL do you live in? I live in Pulaski, TN and there are no oneness churches close to me either.

Re: Your church info....

Funny, when someone sends or posts a link to the church that I am unfamilar with I immediately click on the women's ministry so I can take a look and immediately tell where the church stands in the stream of things.

...isn't that sad?

I visit churches in our area (Baptist, Full Gospel, etc.,) but would love to have a good "moderate" Oneness church to be a part of. I've never been UPC, was ALJC for a while back in my preaching days. I live in the North East Corner of the state, near Trenton, GA actually. I've been "encouraged" to start a church here, but I wouldn't know how to go about it. Thought about running an ad, a "message" of sorts, in the local paper to see if there is any interest, but... since I am not a preacher, I don't know that it would be appropriate for me to under take the task or not. I know of an empty church building.... gonna go check on it tomorrow morning. Theres a church in Bridgeport (the one I wrote about a few weeks ago). They are having services there once a week Saturday night) now. I visited the other night. Good service, good people, but a little bit of a drive. Anyway, will be praying for you. The church in Decherd would be quite a drive for you -but it would be worth a visit sometime. I'll ask Bro. Ricky (the pastor) if he knows of a church in your area. There use to be one near Lawrenceburg. I was aked to be the pastor once- but...that wasn't my calling. So...I'll be praying for you that God will lead you to a good church.

I'm thinking about this, Bro. But I don't know anyone in this area who might want to attend. Thought about running an ad in the local paper for a month or so to determne if there is any interest. Maybe a brief article once a week for a month or so on some subjects that might be covered in some home meetngs. Invite some folks and see what happens. I know where there is a vacant church building, (small, but nice) a few miles away. Might do some inquiring. That's be great... but missing one thing....a preacher. Got to have a preacher.

Singing some praise and worship songs
Praying for each other's needs
Watching some online preaching
Having Bible studies (already bought the book for the Epistle to the Ephesians)
Visiting churches within a reasonable driving distance, as finances allow

I have found that it doesn't take a whole lot to get these kinds of meetings planned. For now we are in wait mode because the other family has to wait until they finish some classes they are taking before they will have the time to come meet with us. The wife and I have talked about doing some other things in the meantime, like enjoying some online preaching as a family.

Your idea to put an ad in the paper is a good one. I thought about that myself at one point, and may do that eventually. We have realized that we need fellowship, and I am not talking about going to Shoney's on Sunday nights. lol

Re: Your church info....

The church I attend is about one mile from my home. The convenience is one reason I started going here.....there is a cafe at the entrance which serves Starbucks and breakfast treats... It has a monitor to watch the service in progress. There are three services on Sunday and one of Sat evening.
