    We Are His Workmanship Series

    Contributed by Doug Fannon on May 19, 2020
     | 9,194 views

    We are God's masterpiece and we were made new in christ for a purpose.

    Who are we in Christ? Have you ever wondered about that? Just who are you, who am I, to God? Sometimes when I look at the night sky on clear and moonless night, when I’m out in the open, no lights around to obstruct, and I see endless maze of stars about. I really feel insignificant. I begin ...read more

    Let us be willing to be built into a living cathedral for God, so that all people in our valley will be attracted to Jesus, and come into God’s holiness, and to be sanctified in his holy presence

    INTRO I’m so proud of my baby girl. She's working on a project for the school’s science-fair by growing citrine-like, rock crystals in the basement. What normally takes thousands of years to do in nature; chemists have somehow been able to reproduce in a matter of weeks. I think ...read more

    Contributed by Jason Smith on Sep 15, 2014
     | 8,714 views

    What exactly is this sin? Can this sin be committed today? Is there really no hope of forgiveness for the one who commits this sin? Why can blaspheming Jesus be forgiven but not blaspheming the Spirit?

    INTRO This topic is indeed an interesting one that leaves us with many questions. • What exactly is this sin? • Can this sin be committed today? • Is there really no hope of forgiveness for the one who commits this sin? • Why can blaspheming Jesus be forgiven but not ...read more

     | 1,672 views

    Paul wrote to young Timothy and said, “…that thou...war a good warfare.”

    Illus: It is obvious, from much of Paul’s writings, that he thought of the Christian life as a warfare. He spoke of Christians as soldiers, in training, discipline, and even in having weapons. In the Book of Acts, we can see so clearly that Christians are soldiers. In one chapter we read ...read more

     | 3,122 views

    This was the first. This was when His ministry is launched into the public eye and this miracle changed the course of His ministry and nothing would ever be the same again

    “Transformed!” John 2:1-11 So, it’s good when you start, to start at the beginning. The miracle we just observed is the famous miracle at the wedding of Cana. The changing of the water to wine. John tells us this was the first time Jesus revealed His glory. So we arrive at the belief that this ...read more

    In the Torah, Reuben is briefly described as having had sexual activity with Bilhah, his stepmother's maid, and father's concubine. On his deathbed, Jacob declares that Reuben "will no longer excel, for you went up onto your father's bed, onto my couch and defiled it."

    Keep The Marriage Intact Series

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Jul 5, 2022
     | 1,703 views

    Divorce is a concession and not God's original intent. If separated, remain as we are. Do not initiate divorce even if your spouse is an unbeliever. Stay and bless the marriage and family, by the working of God's grace through you.

    The word “intact” is beautiful, it means “not damaged or impaired in any way.” • Keep the marriage intact, so that the marriage union is not damaged or impaired in any way. Keep it intact and complete. From chapter 7 onwards Paul was answering the questions raised by the Corinthians in a letter ...read more

    Be Ye Separate

    Contributed by Phillip Smith on May 4, 2024
     | 1,368 views

    Christians are to be readily recognizable. They are to be seperate from worldly persons. However, it is most difficult to identify one in a crowd in the modern world. Why?

    In western culture and its influence upon all the rest of mankind, depicting Christians from the rest of the world is most difficult today. The only differences we see come from diverse groups who outwardly show differences in their dress and chosen culture. Outward differences among all others are ...read more

    Proper Orbits Series

    Contributed by Jason Jones on Jun 10, 2024
     | 680 views

    The passage deals with immorality that shouldn’t be named or practiced among the believers at Ephesus, I want to emphasize that the scripture should not be burdened with baggage that it is often saddled with

    Background to passage: It’s been a while since we have been in Ephesians, so a quick overview. First three chapters are deeply theological about Christ’s role in our salvation and in the life of the church. Last three chapters are very practical. In fact the end of chapter four some of the “most ...read more

    Satan Uses Religion

    Satan uses hypocrisy, fratricide, and self righteousness to misdirect and misfocus the Christian (Adapted from a book by Joe Beam called "Seeing the Unseen")

    HoHum: Does Satan go to church? I know he does. Yes, the spiritual forces of evil are here but mostly they work through people.

    Belonging In The Will Of God Series

    Contributed by Paul Robinson on Sep 15, 2022
     | 2,704 views

    One of the most sought-after things in the Christian life is the will of God. What is God’s will for my life? How do I know that I’m in the will of God? What if God’s will for me is something I really don’t like? These are common questions, and maybe you have asked them yourself.

    WHAT GOD'S WILL IS NOT 1. God’s will is not something that you find For some reason we tend to have this idea that we must discover God’s will for our lives. That’s not how it works. God is the one who finds YOU. Abraham did not choose God; God chose Abraham. David did not choose to become ...read more
