Your Stuff, Is Yours. Your Neighbor's, Your Neighbor's (Exodus 22:1-15) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Nov 23, 2022

God expects his people to keep their hands to themselves. And God knows that property rights are part of the bedrock of what makes societies function.

One of the main topics discussed among my coworkers over the past year or two, has been inflation. All of us are constantly feeling the effects of it. Everything costs more. We find that we save a little less every month than we used to. We find ourselves reexamining what we buy, and thinking ...read more

The Love Above All Loves

Contributed by Michael Collins on Jan 15, 2023

In this sermon I seek to explore the 4 different kinds of loves that exist today, and how we need to keep God's Divine Agape love at the center of all the 4 loves.

THE LOVE ABOVE ALL LOVES Uses of the Word Love in the world today 1. Eros (Romantic Love) - This is the love shared between a man and woman who are attracted to each other and is quite often connected with sexual behavior. 2.

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on May 4, 2022

We, as believers of God and His word, should be on the lookout for deception in the realm of religion, for we are warned about it several times in the Scriptures. And if it is such a danger, we need to know what forms of deception may be used against us and prepare ourselves.

Sermon: The Danger of Deception Scripture: Acts 5:1-11 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles' feet.

Sermon: The Danger Of Deception Series

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on May 4, 2023

We live in an age where people want to appear one way but, they are just the opposite of their appearance. Hypocrisy pollutes worship. The most beautiful singing, the largest gift and the most radical praise can all be done with the wrong motive.

Depending on where you get your news, from the newspaper, internet, or TV, you most likely have heard of this terrible virus called Ebola. It has been all over the news lately.

Was The Early Church Socialist, Even Communist? Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 13, 2021

Some commentators and politicians who belong to the Superficialist School of Bible Interpretation really mess up when they say Christians should be socialists because the early Church was.

Jesus told His disciples, "Blessed are you poor" as Luke records it, and Matthew writes "Blessed are the poor in spirit." Filled with the Holy Spirit, the early Christians, or many of them, decided to take Jesus literally. They pooled their resources, as Luke records in the Acts ...read more

God Loves A Cheerful Giver

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Apr 18, 2021

The “tithe” is not our money; it’s God’s. When we refuse to trust the church in handling the tithe, and feel that we know the best use for it, then this is contempt for God and His Spirit, and we are treading on dangerous ground!

I remember when my wife and I first got married that she would tell me stories about the Christian camp she attended as a child, because camp meant so much to her growing up. One of the songs they sang at camp was called, “God Loves a Cheerful Giver,” which was about Ananias and Sapphira; and I ...read more

An Outline Of Acts 5:1-11

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on May 5, 2021

Ananias and Sapphira sold a piece of land and gave part of the money to the apostles. But there was something not quite right about this and it became clear very quickly. This is another outline from a mini-series on Acts I preached several years ago.

Introduction: the early church faced a significant problem: taking care of new converts and their needs. The last verses of Acts 4 describe how people sold things they owned and gave the money to the apostles to help meet these needs. Barnabas, a Levite of Cyprus, even sold a piece of land and gave ...read more
