    Second in a series from 1 Timothy. This message deals with the role of women in the church.

    Note: I’m indebted to Ray Stedman for the title of this sermon - it was just too good to pass up! Read 1 Timothy 2:8-15 (NIV) Questions to ask: 1. Should this be applied universally for all believers at all times? 2. Is it a complete handbook for church behavior? 3. Was Paul a chauvinist? ...read more

    Our nation is on moral decline. God will continue to bless America and bring healing to our land only if we continue to seek Him.

    Accepting Each Other

    Contributed by Tony Grant on Oct 3, 2005
    based on 65 ratings
     | 15,246 views

    The problem is believers do not agree about many aspects of the faith; the solution is to accept each other and bear with each other.

    Accepting Each Other Romans 14:1 (09/21/05) 2404 words 14:1 Welcome those who are weak in faith, but not for the purpose of quarreling over opinions. According to a fable, one day Abraham was sitting by his tent door when he saw coming along the way a very old man. With true Bedouin ...read more

    we can be confident in sharing the gospel with our friends and neighbours because we know that God has already called out people to hear and respond when they hear the good news of salvation.

    I want to finish this part of our series on Acts by reflecting on the way God continued to encourage and support Paul in his preaching of the gospel, despite the great opposition he faced. God’s empowering was such that many people came to believe in Jesus. Paul was able to keep going despite the ...read more

    How does a Christian deal with Halloween in a way that glorifies God?

    Halloween can be a troubling holiday. Many of us carry fond memories of Halloweens long ago, back when we were growing up. Many of us remember it as innocent fun—a special day just for children.
