    Physical Description Of God

    Contributed by Phillip Smith on Dec 9, 2023
     | 1,198 views

    You have seen police shows on television where an incident has happened and the police seek witnesses. They ask for a physical description of the suspect. Just as a police officer asks us to describe a suspect, can you describe God to someone who perhaps does not believe there is a God?

    John 4:24. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. To properly be pleasing unto God and worship Him in a proper manner, we must try to understand things of the spirit realm. Why? If we claim to be of the body of Christ, …the carnal mind is enmity against ...read more

    Thanksgiving has come and gone. And we are in the Season of Advent. Advent is what we call the Sundays between Thanksgiving and Christmas.

    God’s Christmas Plan 10 Dec.23 Matthew 1:18-25 (NIV) “I Been Thinking” Thanksgiving has come and gone. And we are in the Season of Advent.

    Experiencing The Depths Of Jesus Christ: Launching Out Toward The Heart Of God Series

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Jan 27, 2024
     | 1,194 views

    Delving into the Christian classic "Experiencing the Depths of Jesus Christ" by Jeanne Guyon. Looking at what it means to have a deep, meaningful relationship with God through Jesus Christ. Looking at our heart, God's heart, and union with God's heart.

    Today we’re going to set out on an adventure. We’re going to launch out into the depths of God and seek to discover a beautiful mystery, called “the depths of Jesus Christ.” We all long I think for a deeper more meaningful relationship with God. Yet I think for a lot of us it may seem out of reach. ...read more

    The Labourers Are Few (Soul Winning) 1 Of 2

     | 2,041 views

    Most of us are compassionate, caring people in many ways.

    Our compassion can be seen clearly in our daily lives. For example: • When we see someone in danger we try to warn them • When we see someone discouraged, we try to encourage them • When we see someone needing some assistance, we try to assist them • When we see someone who is hurt, we try to help ...read more

    Jesus On Adultery And Lust

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Feb 10, 2024
     | 1,256 views

    Jesus teaches on lust. It isn't something preachers generally like to speak about but it's really important. Jesus shows how God's commandment on adultery needs to be practised and he tells us how we can do it.

    Western society is completely comfortable talking about sex. Most people think a lot about sex. Especially men. The Bible talks a lot about sex too. Most preachers, however, do not like to talk about sex. When preachers preach on the Sermon on the Mount, they talk about the Beatitudes. There ...read more

    The Parable Of A Farmer

     | 3,745 views

    If the word of God is not bearing fruit in your life, you're not studying the word of God; you're not hearing the word of God; you're not receiving the word of God.

    Let me ask three questions before we start this message: 1. If the gospel is the power of God—why doesn't everybody that hears the gospel become a Christian? 2. If the Bible is the Word of God—why doesn't the Bible have the same effect on everyone who reads it? 3. If Jesus is the Son of ...read more

    Pardoned And Beyond (September 11, 2022)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Sep 9, 2022
     | 2,226 views

    Paul deals with many of the same things we have all had to deal with before we became a Christian. Everyone has a past, everyone needs a pardon and everyone is called to proclaim the Gospel.

    PARDONED and BEYOND (September 11, 2022) Text: 1 Timothy 1:12 -17 1 Timothy 1:12-17 I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength, that he considered me trustworthy, appointing me to his service. (13) Even though I was once a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent man, I was ...read more

    Doing Your Duty With A Little Faith

    Contributed by Richard L. Brown on May 23, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,939 views

    This is a lesson about using the gifts that God has already given us instead of wishing our lives away wanting what God has not ordained. It features the problem that the first disciples were having and Jesus' answer to them when they asked for more faith.

    Doing Your Duty with a Little Faith Luke 17: 5-10, 2 Timothy 1:3-12 The Apostles were with Jesus daily. They saw miracles that would make their hearts stand still and yet they wanted more faith. What more could Jesus possibly give them? The answer is, he doesn’t give them anything more. ...read more

    "Be Perfect” Series

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Jul 9, 2022
     | 3,729 views

    Jesus said, 'You therefore must be perfect'. What an unreasonable demand! And yet, there are so many reasons to strive for it.

    INTRODUCTION We’re continuing in our series in the Sermon on the Mount. In our passage for today, Jesus starts by saying, ‘Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.’ What do you think of that!? Back in March I told you about an interview I heard on Radio 4. The reporter was ...read more

    Teachings Of Titus #1

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 24, 2022
     | 2,784 views

    Paul writes to Titus who is on the Island of Crete. Paul and Titus had both been on this island preaching the gospel together.

    However, the book of Acts never mentions that Paul and Titus were on the Island of Crete together. This is because the book of Acts does not give a complete list of everywhere Paul went on his missionary journeys. Paul left the island of Crete, and now he is writing back to Titus to give him ...read more

    knowing Jesus in every way

    In the verses we have just read, we see where Jesus has been teaching His disciples. He is teaching them in the form of parable, when the multitude grows large and wants to listen to them. Jesus then wants to take His disciples across the sea so that they could do some studying by themselves. They ...read more

     | 10,869 views

    Now let me ask you a question, When it comes to your relationship to God as an individual, to our relationship with God as a church, what would you say is our greatest need?

    Intro: Once again I stand here before you and as always I’m lead to a message to preach or was lead into a direction to speak. My wife asked me why don’t you pray on doing a message about Mercy. At first I kind of said well it does not usually work that way of me forcing a message or just to try ...read more

    The Cornerstone Of Worship Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on May 23, 2020

     | 11,179 views

    The cornerstone of Christian worship is The Lord's Supper. But sometimes this foundational part of church is buried by other stuff. What could bury Communion and how can we avoid that danger?

    On Sunday July 4th, 1848 a cornerstone was laid for the Washington Monument. It was made of pure white marble weighing 24,500 pounds and had been dragged through the streets of Washington from the railroad station to the site. It was a dramatic event - attended by a crowd of about 20,000 people. ...read more

    Welcoming The Repentant Sinners (September 8, 2013)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Mar 3, 2021
     | 1,919 views

    Do we rejoice with God and the angels of heaven every time another sinner repents? In Luke 15 , Jesus tells three parables and all three parables end with a celebration. But, not everyone comes to the celebration.

    Luke 15:1-10 GNB One day when many tax collectors and other outcasts came to listen to Jesus, (2) the Pharisees and the teachers of the Law started grumbling, "This man welcomes outcasts and even eats with them!" (3) So Jesus told them this parable: (4) "Suppose one of you has ...read more

    Christmas 2020-"unprecedented!"

    "Unprecedented!" This Christmas is less the Currier and Ives picture that we imagine and more the stark reality that is life.

    Unprecedented! “Unprecedented" is the word elected as the People's Choice 2020 Word of the Year. "Unprecedented" beat out "pandemic" by a small margin, according to John Kelly, senior research editor at Dictionary.com, and is defined by the site as "without ...read more
