    Nit-Picker Or Disciple? Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Aug 21, 2021
     | 1,308 views

    It’s a constant battle to make prayer not just external, but an action of listening to God that can change our hearts and behaviors.

    Tuesday of 21st week in Course Today we have one of the great analogies of Biblical literature–only St. Matthew has it–you strain out the gnat and swallow the camel. Jesus says “Oy! You nitpick the little stuff and neglect the critical duties.” The people described by the Hebrew word ...read more

    The Point Of No Return

     | 3,484 views

    Many Christians believe that they are disciples of Jesus when, in fact, they are not. In this message, we see that there is a cost to being a disciple of Jesus and it’s a decision that we must make.

    Good morning. I pray that this Sunday morning finds you in good health and looking forward to this morning’s message. Let’s open with a word of prayer. I have a title on my bookshelf that is going to be pulled and read this year. The Cost of Discipleship, written in 1937 by Lutheran pastor and ...read more

    Let our memory of the hand of the Lord in and through us inspire us in our present work and our walk with the Lord. When we remember we keep focused on our hope in Jesus Christ, straining toward what is ahead.

    Intro There is a power in remembering significant events. Your wedding ring is a marker to remember the day of your marriage. The memory is further deepened when those who shared the moment with you, like the bridesmaids and groomsmen recount the stories from the wedding. The wedding photographer ...read more

    The path of least resistance is a path that many choose throughout life, because it requires so little of them

    It is a path that most have taken. However, life teaches us in many ways that the great things of life cannot be accomplished by taking the path of least resistance.

    Introduction: A minister was making a wooden trellis to support a climbing vine.

    As he was pounding away, he noticed that a little boy was watching him. The youngster did not say a word so the preacher kept on working, thinking the boy would leave. But he did not. Pleased at the thought that his work was being admired, the preacher finally said, “Well son, trying to pick up ...read more

    The Pursuit Of Ministry Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Oct 8, 2020
     | 4,052 views

    Things have changed much since the first century, and yet much remains the same. Paul realized the danger of majoring on the minor and minoring on the major. His insight still speaks for ministries today.

    The Pursuit of Ministry 1 Thessalonians 2: 4-9 We have spent much time laying the groundwork for our study in this precious book. Paul was well aware of the faithfulness and influence the church in Thessalonica had on those around them. He was encouraged with the presence of their faith, ...read more

    Imitators Not Pretenders Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Oct 14, 2020
     | 5,118 views

    Paul wanted to ensure the Thessalonians imitated the example he had lived before them, and most importantly, the example of Christ. Rather than pretending to emulate their faith, they were to actively live out their faith.

    Imitators not Pretenders 1 Thessalonians 2: 10-13 As I studied this passage I was reminded of the need for sincerity and genuineness among the church. We live in a day plagued with hypocrisy. One of the most offered arguments against attending church in our generation is the presence of ...read more

    The Stages Of Discipleship Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 8,884 views

    It is God's will for people to progress through the stages of discipleship from being spiritually dead, to being a spiritual infant, child, young adult, and parent. We must be able to assess where we are and where others are in the process so we all can grow to maturity.

    A. I like the story told of the little boy who was confused about something and said to his Bible class teacher: “There’s somethin’ I can’t figger out.” 1. The teacher said, “What is it, Joey?” 2. Joey said, “Well accordin’ to the Bible, the Children of Israel crossed the Red Sea, right?” a. “ ...read more

    Jesus has given the Great Commission to His followers. Sometimes disciples are too intimidated or confused about how to fulfill that commission. This sermon offers a simple model for outreach as God's eyewitnesses.

    Introduction: A. Before I begin a new sermon series next week, God put it on my heart to focus this week’s sermon on the place of evangelism in the life of a disciple of Jesus. 1. Two weeks ago, we completed our sermon series on the final days of Jesus’ earthly life by looking at one of Jesus’ ...read more

    To be an agent of Jesus in this life, we must be willing to faithful, gentle and sacrificial in our lives and expect people to take our actions for granted

    This week we start the second oldest book in the New Testament as recorded in its publishing. We began with James on our year-long journey chronological study of the New Testament. Hence the reason we are calling this message series Chronos. It's a word that means “time.” We will be journeying ...read more

    We need men of principles, character, values and a good example for many. As we celebrate Father's Day 2022, let's look at the examples of 3 Bible characters and learn from their lives how can we be an Unshakeable Men.

    Intro: Good morning and Happy Father’s Day. Every 3rd Sunday of June our world celebrates the manhood of every father in the world. We celebrate their genuine love, their sacrifice to establish their own family and the good examples that they showed that mold us into responsible adults. We have our ...read more

    Fooled By A Prophet Series

     | 7,612 views

    Prophetic messages on the Internet are abundant posing new challenges as well as possible benefits. Pastors must equip their congregations to test these messages using biblical principles. This series teaches principles for doing that. This message uses lessons from the story in 1 Kings 13.

    Intro Last week we taught on the subject of testing prophecy. How do we know that a dream, a vision, a word that someone is sharing is truly from the Lord? And even if it is from the Lord, are we interpreting it correctly and applying it wisely. We found that all three aspects of a prophecy must ...read more
