Important Figures In 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.

Most preachers refer to Abraham as the father of faith. They are of the opinion that Abraham still trusted in God when it was very impossible to do so. Although God promised him that he would be the father of many nations, Abraham was still yet to see the possibility of the promise seeing that he had no child. This is the kind of situation most Christians in the world face today so listening to messages about Abraham can strengthen their faith.

When the Bible talks about being vessels unto honor, it refers to people like Isaac who was the father of Jacob, the one who was later renamed Israel. Another important point to note about Isaac is his level of obedience. He was ready to give his life as a sacrifice at Mount Moriah so that his father Abraham could give a sacrifice to God.

Jacob, who was later named Israel, is a subject of most Bible scholars. The activities of Jacob, his personalities and qualities all add to what Christians love to study about in their gatherings. Jacob's resistance to be subdued by the angel who visited him at the place he later called Bethel is a perfect example for Christians to never relent in prayers.

Joseph was second to the last born of Jacob's children. His name is often a reminder for believers to desist from sexual immorality just as he did when Potiphar's wife begged to lie with him. Messages on abstaining from fornication, adultery and integrity can be prepared by using Joseph as a point of reference.

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.

Most DVD messages are centered on the teachings and personality of Jesus Christ. It is good to buy such items because they reveal the way to the Father in very clear terms. The essence of salvation and the way to go to Heaven are necessary teachings one should get while there is still enough time.
