    He Still Came, Part 1

    Contributed by Greg Nance on Dec 1, 2012
    based on 6 ratings
     | 3,928 views

    The coming of Jesus Christ began not in Matthew, but Genesis. This is part one of a four part series leading up to Christ’s coming into the world.

    The story of the coming of Jesus Christ into this world begins not in Matthew, but in Genesis. Our Bibles have one overarching theme: God’s relationship with man. The first book of the Old Testament tells us how God made man in His own image and likeness. The first book of the New Testament ...read more

    Possessions And Stealing

    Contributed by Greg Nance on Oct 27, 2012

     | 4,019 views

    The eighth commandment gives us a simple rule to keep us tuned in to God's authority over our possessions.

    (From: shopliftingprevention.org) • More than $13 billion worth of goods are stolen from retailers each year. That's more than $35 million per day. • There are approximately 27 million shoplifters (or 1 in 11 people) in our nation today. More than 10 million people have been caught ...read more

     | 6,745 views

    This is part two on the commandment to: Honor Your Father and Mother.

    The Fifth Commandment: Honor your father and your mother. Last week we did a survey of scriptures in the Old and New Testaments where we saw how serious this commandment is. Immediately after the first four commandments pointing us to God and how to properly honor God and treat His name and ...read more

    Honoring Dad And Mom

    Contributed by Greg Nance on Oct 9, 2012
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,333 views

    Honoring God is closely followed by honoring parents. This is no accidental order in the Ten Commandments list. We do well to pay attention here and help our children follow this.

    Don’t you enjoy watching your kids learn as they grow up? Think of all the things you teach your children: How to walk, talk, pray, trust God, follow Jesus, Bible characters, eat, clean up, tie shoes, dress, share, sit quietly in church, get along with brothers or sisters, and on and on. ...read more

    Sabbath And Hearing God

    Contributed by Greg Nance on Oct 9, 2012
     | 3,019 views

    There is a lot of debate about the Sabbath day and our responsibility to keep it. One thing is sure, God wants us to stop and listen to Him regularly.

    Deut. 5:12 “Observe the Sabbath day by keeping it holy, as the Lord your God has commanded you. 13 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 14 but the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or ...read more

    They all point to God. These commandments keep us centered so that we can perform on the rest.

    Deut 5:6-11 6 "I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. 7 "You shall have no other gods before me. 8 "You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. 9 You shall not bow down ...read more

    Ten Commandments, Wedding Vows? Series

    Contributed by Greg Nance on Aug 12, 2012
     | 9,483 views

    When did God gather Israel to Himself and exchange vows so that later God refers to His people as His bride? The marriage motif of God and His people runs throughout the Bible. Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 5 may mark the sight and sound of this divine even

    This lesson is an introduction to our study of the Ten Commandments. Weddings are always exciting and full of emotion. When God created us, male and female, in His own image and likeness, he also created marriage. The original intent of marriage included the blessing of procreation of little ...read more

    Doing Good

    Contributed by Greg Nance on Jul 28, 2012
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,752 views

    Galatians has a word or two on good deeds that sound a lot like the message of James. While James doesn't focus on the Spirit, and Paul centers there, the echoes of the faith are heard in both. It is impressive to note the parallels.

    Last week we finished our study in the book of James. James was all about words and works of the faithful Christian. Our walk and our talk express our faith and our relationship with God. Just as faith without works is dead, James 2:26, James makes it clear that claiming to be religious without ...read more

    Prosperity, Patience And Prayer

    James 5 has a lot to say about the rich and the proper response to abuse by those who are powerful. His wise words are clear and firm, making the path of faith obvious. He pulls no punches.

    Prosperity, Patience and Prayer: this is the outline for James 5. 1. Prosperity: 5:1-6 This is a prophetic oracle against the rich oppressors. Wow! Does that page in your Bible smell a bit like smoke? Here James steps into prophetic mode and writes with an imprecatory imagination of doom and ...read more

    James chapter 4 asks us questions that convict us and call us to humble submission to God.

    Submit Yourselves to God 4 What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you? 2 You want something but don’t get it. You kill and covet, but you cannot have what you want. You quarrel and fight. You do not have, because you do not ask ...read more

    James And Paul On Works And Faith

    Contributed by Greg Nance on Jun 30, 2012
    based on 9 ratings
     | 10,358 views

    James 2 and Romans 4 have some interesting contrasts. Faith without works is dead or faith apart from works is what saves... which is true?

    Last week James told us that if we are careless with our language our religion is worthless. (Jas. 1:26) This week James tells us that if we believe without acting on it our faith is worthless. (Jas. 2:14,17,20,26). A worthless religion and a worthless faith make a worthless Christian and a ...read more

    James 1:26-27 offers a three point message on religion that is a must DO.

    As we continue our Summer Service Series let’s turn to one of the most practical books in the New Testament: James. This little letter is packed with instruction and wisdom for Christian ACTION and SERVICE. James is big on application. A few weeks ago I did a lesson entitled “Do to ...read more

    Titus two is an amazing chapter on doing the word. This, says Paul, IS sound instruction.

    How many teachers do we have here today? School teachers and Bible class teachers raise your hands. Actually, all of us are teachers in some way. All of us have influence and we do and say things that are instructive to others, even when we wish otherwise. Some of my best lessons on faith I ...read more

    Who serve in our churches that also surround the throne of God? Elders. What office of leadership for God's people spans from Genesis to Revelation? Elders. Who needs them? We do.

    We’ve embarked on a summer theme of Christian service where we are working to apply the fruit of the Spirit to service activities through service teams. This week’s theme is serving with Joy. Tonight we will introduce the next focus: Serving as peacemakers for Christ. When we look ...read more
