Popular Figures On Christian Sermon DVDs

By Brenda Sullivan


Christians who want to grow spiritually must make out time to listen to God's word. This is why several missionaries have taken up the mandate to print Bibles and produce music tapes, tracts and Christian sermon DVDs. Christian sermons that make sense are those that include figures such as Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Samson and Jesus Christ. The lives and stories of these men are capable of inspiring any believer who yearns for the truth.

Abraham is regarded in Christianity as the father of faith. This may be as a result of his unwavering trust in God even in his old age. Most of the inspiration about Abraham can be drawn from the fact that he believed in God when he was told that he would have a son in his old age. Most preachers also like to talk about his reliance on God even to the point of attempting to sacrifice his only son after the prophecy came to pass.

Isaac was the father of Esau and Jacob. Most preachers love to talk about Isaac because of his obedience especially when he was taken up to Mount Moriah to be sacrificed by his old father, Abraham. He was the father of Jacob and Esau and was therefore instrumental in the emergence of the Israelites.

Talking about Jacob is something many Bible scholars love to do because of the many attributes in his life. Jacob had the quality of never relenting and fighting for his blessings. Christians who won't take this for granted will also see that to get God's blessings really demands violently fighting for it in prayers. Jacob was the father of twelve children that later became the twelve tribes of Israel.

When people talk about achieving their dreams despite trials and difficulties, referring to the life of Joseph can make it sound realistic. From the treacherous hands of his brothers to the hands of his slave masters for a few pieces of silver, Joseph never knew that he was on his path to fulfilling his mandate. Most believers will be more at peace with God if they knew that God uses difficulties to train men.

Ministers and leaders in christian gatherings need to study the life of Moses. He was a unique leader who always heard from God and did what He wanted for the Israelites. Ministers can learn about his courage, prayer life and what makes him the greatest prophet in the land of Israel.

The life of Samson should remind believers about the need to always watch and pray. Although he was filled with strength, he was unguarded with Delilah who persisted in knowing the secret of his power. His story has the lesson of using God's gift effectively and not allowing the devil to steal it through any means.

Jesus Christ of Nazareth is the center of many messages on DVD. It is necessary to buy materials that talk about Jesus and his salvation because doing so will make one understand more clearly the vanity of life and what to do to enter Heaven. His attributes, qualities and his death at the Cross of Calvary can be found in almost any church bookshop.
