     | 2,987 views

    Christmas is a controversial issue for many. We need to be tolerant of other points of view and be reminded to appreciate the birth of Jesus all year.

    1. Christmas is coming – is that good or bad? Christmas is Controversial: a. Seculars: “Too religious.” Religionists: “Too secular.” b. Puritans refused to celebrate Christmas – felt it trivialized the message of Jesus’ coming Stress of: Partying and alcohol consumption; travel; disrupted ...read more

    Have you ever been presented a doctrine you disagreed w/ only to have them quote a vss. which seems to support it. Just as there are rules for grammar, math, and science - so are there rules of interpretation. HERMENEUTICS - the rules for Biblical interpretation. 1st rule - Context. A vss. can ...read more

    Jesus Lord Of The Impossible

     | 4,383 views

    How easy is it for a cripple to get up on his own? How easy is it to love our enemies? How easy is to forgive someone who hurt us deeply? Jesus commands us to do all this.

    This morning we visit a place called Bethesda. An invalid, crippled, lying on the ground waiting for the miraculous. Jesus says "Do you want to get well?" Some people do not want to get better, they like the attention they get, or possibly the thought of doing anything different scares them. ...read more

    Fasting For Lent

    based on 3 ratings
     | 10,492 views

    In response to the temptation to throw himself into the rat race called material satisfaction, Jesus finds a calm centre, an anchor in the word of God. That centered faith will enable him to deal with all the other temptations to come.

    There once was a little boy named Bobby, who desperately wanted a new bicycle. His plan was to save his nickels, dimes and quarters until he finally had enough to buy a new 10-speed bike. Each night he asked God to help him save his money. Kneeling beside his bed, he prayed, “Dear Lord, ...read more

    Romans 12:9-21 lists some qualities that the Lord looks for in the lives of his followers. Applying, practicing and perfecting these qualities is what the Christian life is all about.

    The good Lord by his grace and mercy has given us a new year. A new year, a new start, a new beginning. A new year is a time to look at our lives and see where we need to make changes and improvements. Our lives are in a constant state of change.

    The Fundamentals Of Fasting Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Feb 2, 2022
     | 3,362 views

    Fasting is something that creates uncertainty and anxiety in the minds of many. I think if we will take the time to consider what our Lord has to say and seek to understand fasting, we will become more comfortable with it.

    The Fundamentals of Fasting Matthew 6: 16-18 We have come to a portion of Scripture that is little discussed in our day. I don’t think I have ever heard this passage preached or dealt with at length. The focus of this portion of the Sermon on the Mount is fasting. That may be something the average ...read more

    Are Christians bound by the Law of Moses? As a result of misinterpretations of God's word, unsubstantiated allegations AND misperceptions that arise from misguided Biblical teachings, the church is MORE divided today than EVER.

    “For it seemed good to the HOLY SPIRIT, AND to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things: that you ABSTAIN from things offered to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality. If you keep yourselves from these, you will do well. Farewell.” ...read more

    Good morning, Church! Today, we'll be diving deep into the heart of discernment, exploring why we need it, where it comes from, and what happens when we apply it in our lives.

    Farewell To The Flesh (Mardi Gras Carnival)

     | 9,994 views

    This sermon deals with the evils of Mardi Gras and its effect upon the heart, mind and soul of men, especially Christians who take part in the revelry.

    FAREWELL TO THE FLESH Since we live in south Louisiana, I think it would be timely for this message concerning the Mardi Gras season. It’s that time again; the time for King Cakes, Purple and Gold decorations, costumes and decadence beyond description. This is the time when the true heart of ...read more
