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.

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.

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.

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.

Picking up DVDs that center on Moses will probably make you understand why he was considered the greatest prophet that has ever emerged. Moses was the first man to see the back of God and the one who led the children of Israel out of bondage in Egypt following the death of Joseph and the emergence of a Pharaoh who did not know his story. More about his personality and why he was not allowed to enter the Promised Land can be heard on sermons.

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.
