    We can learn from Paul the importance of relying upon Jesus. We can rely on Him to provide us the life testimony that He desires to be put in front of His people at the appropriate time and place.

    Title: The Law, The Christian, and the World… Scripture: Acts 24 I would like to use some scripture to use as a sort of prelude to Acts 24. Then, with that in our minds, we’ll be better able to understand a short discussion on Acts 24. (2 Timothy 3:1b-5) There will be terrible times in the last ...read more

    Shaken, Not Saved Have you ever had an experience that has left you a bit shaken? Losing a loved one? Been involved in or seen a terrible accident? When someone close to us has been diagnosed with a life threatening illness? — all of these experiences can shake us up. How about when God’s word ...read more

    · What do you think of our church? (Opinions will vary greatly person to person…) · More importantly, What do you suppose Jesus Christ thinks of our church? Do you remember the old E.F.

     | 18,169 views

    This message emphasizes the need for prayer. However, it is not just about prayer itself, but about the need for us to continue in prayer. Being steadfast is a vital characteristic of our prayer lives.

    "pray, Pray, PRAY!" Luke 18:1-8 PRAYER… INTRODUCTION: ILLUSTRATION: There’s a magazine cartoon that shows a little fellow kneeling beside his bed for his bedtime prayer. He says with some measure of disgust, "Dear God, Uncle Jim still doesn’t have a job; Sis still doesn’t have a date for the ...read more

     | 5,782 views

    The Christian life is a life filled with joy no matter what the circumstances or "happenings" around us. Paul’s letter to the Philippians is an encouragement to us as to what that life looks like or could look like.

    PURE AND SIMPLE JOY In the midst of our hectic schedules and frantic efforts to finish our tasks, do you ever stop and wonder if something is missing in your life?

     | 4,125 views

    "In the realm of reality, we need also a “shield” for our protection against doubts, uncertainties, negativism, or even false teachings that bombard us in all angles."

    “For we did not follow cleverly devised stories when we told you about the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ in power, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. He received honor and glory from God the Father when the voice came to him from the Majestic Glory, saying, ‘This is my Son, whom I love; ...read more

    Do we really make a difference in this world? Has the church become insignificant today? Churches have a high calling to honor God in their attitudes and actions.

    Hebrews 10:23-25 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so ...read more

    A good friend is a good find. Developing positive friendships are the crowning jewels in our life. Someone once said, “A friend is a present you give yourself”. How should we choose our friends and how can we tell if we have a good one?

    FRIENDSHIP INTRODUCTION: There are different levels of friendship. We have people in our life who are acquaintances, people we like but only see once in a while, usually at a function. Then we have closer friends who we get together with on occasion. We might not see them too often but our level ...read more

    Marks Of The Faithful Church

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Jul 16, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,940 views

    With what God has entrusted to us, are we faithful not only as individuals but as a church toward God. Are we willing to faithfully pursue Him and walk with Him no matter what! God put the church in the world; Satan tries to put the world in the church. Be faithful!

    Opening illustration: I wonder what Christ or even the apostle Paul would say if they were to visit our churches today. What a beehive of activity! Committees, programs, entertainment without end. But worship is often downplayed, services are cut back, prayer meetings are eliminated. Some call ...read more
