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.

The life of Jacob in the Bible is still something many professed Christians may find difficult to set as an example. Jacob was the man who changed his destiny at Bethel and Peniel after waiting earnestly on God. It was his refusal to succumb that made him scale through and eventually become the instrument for God to bring up the twelve tribes of Israel.

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.

Believers who want to be as great as Moses should not relent in picking up DVDs that treat his life and personality. Moses is known for many things including the release of the Israelites from captivity, fasting forty days and forty nights, providing the Ten Commandments and many more. Studying his life and works can be a way for Christians to have his good qualities.

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.
