Important Figures In Christian Sermon DVDs

By Brenda Sullivan


Listening to the word of God is one of the ways by which Christians can grow spiritually. As a result, many church organizations have taken up the mandate to reproduce God's word in several forms such as Christian sermon DVDs, Bibles, music tapes, tracts and many more. Listening to popular preachers on DVDs is beneficial especially when important personalities in the Bible are included. Some of the personalities that can turn the lives of people when studied well include Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Samson and Jesus Christ.

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.

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 one of the sons of Jacob. He appears in most DVD sermons as someone that was chaste and fled from fornication. It is good to pick up DVDs about Joseph to learn more about his drives and what particularly made him say no to the request made by Potiphar's wife. His journey from slavery to governorship is worth studying.

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.

Samson was a judge for the Israelites. He is a subject of interest because of his unequaled strength. The positive and negative effects of Samson's strength and how he could have used it more effectively to the service of the people and God is a necessary topic for Christians to consider.

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.
