    It Is Time To Forgive And Affirm Love

    Contributed by Tessie R. Simmons on Sep 15, 2011
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,703 views

    The church must forgive those who cause grief and reaffirm love, and each person must do the same.

    But if anyone has caused pain, he has caused it not to me, but to some extent-not to exaggerate it- to all of you. This punishment by the majority is enough for such a person; so now instead you should forgive and console him, so that he may not be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow. So I urge you ...read more

    In the constant war against the enemy we need to guard against becoming easily discouraged into giving up the battle and losing out on what God has given to us.

    Was The Early Church The "Golden Age"? Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Aug 31, 2018
     | 4,567 views

    Christians today tend to romanticize the early church as a Golden Age when passages like this one present a picture of a church with plenty of struggles. What does that mean for how we should view the church today?

    - Read 2 Corinthians 1:12-17 and 2:1-10. An Early Church Story: - What we are looking at today is just one story from the early church. 1. There was serious sin in the church. - 2 Corinthians 2:6; 1 Corinthians 5:1-13. - We know this from 1 Corinthians 5 and Paul’s extensive instructions to ...read more

    Gaining A Heart Of Wisdom Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Sep 16, 2021
     | 7,619 views

    Life is short! We must invest our time in that which is of eternal value. All that glitters is not gold. The vanities of this world are of much less value than "gaining a heart of wisdom" (Ps. 90:12). This message leads into Jesus's parable about finding a treasure in Matthew 13:44.

    What do you value most in life? The question is not what you should value most. The question is what do you value most in life? The answer to that question is not found in what we say we value. The answer is found in how we invest our lives—how we invest the precious minutes, hours, and days of ...read more

    The Devil In The "isms"

    Contributed by Russell (Rusty) Pruitt on Oct 10, 2020
     | 3,131 views

    If we are to be successful as Christians, and as a local church, we must educate ourselves about satan’s evil purposes. I want to talk about satan’s influence in and through the “isms” of the world.

    The devil in the “Isms” TEXT: 2 COR. 2:5-11 (from the ESV) INTRODUCTION: I want to focus on: “We are not ignorant of his designs,” (KJV devices) where Paul is referring to satan’s designs. Designs is from the Greek word: “no'-a-mä” (nigh’ e ma) and means “a purpose, and specifically, an ...read more

     | 5,127 views

    Dealing with a number of issues at EBC led me to a series by Pastor Jerry Shirley which God has graciously allowed me to revise and use to speak to our congregation.

    The Day Revival Came: Acts 2:1-41 I have said a number of times, during this series, that I would love to see Acts 2 happen in the church today. When I say that, I don’t mean the actual events because the actual events of Pentecost will never be repeated. The Holy Spirit has already come, ...read more

    What should the Church do when a brother/sister repents and comes back to the Lord?

    SERMON: When a Brother Comes Home! TEXT: 2 Cor. 2:7-8. The sinner repented so Paul instructions how to welcome him back home. 1. “FORGIVE him.” True forgiveness is letting go of any desire for revenge! 2. “COMFORT him.” Comfort means, “call him near, invite, invoke, ...read more
