    Contributed by Charles Jones on Feb 2, 2019
     | 5,914 views

    Having ambition is good but when you use it to stand well in the sight of others and greed is in your heart, that ambition added with greed can lead to deceit and hypocrisy.

    The Ekklesia - The Movement: Lies, Innuendos and The Truth Acts 5:1-11 Text v. 4 Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.

    God would rather have a small church that is pure than a large church whose commitment is watered down. With electricity, the larger the connection(wire), the more power can flow through it. This is true of the purity of the church.

    What Are You Holding Back

    Contributed by Walter Troup on Apr 13, 2019
     | 16,498 views

    What keeps you from giving everything to God? Check out two sets of people who were following Christ and made two different decisions about their lives, causing two different outcomes.

    This morning I want us to look at two sets of people: one set held nothing back from God, and God used them to change their world and ours too. The other set, not so much. Because they kept something back from God, their lives came to a quick end. Before we look into the lives and circumstances ...read more

     | 8,463 views

    Dynamics and Dimensions of Offering in New Testament context. For majority of Christians, the word 'offering' quickly invokes thoughts of money... but offering in true scriptural perspective is hardly ever about funds colection on a Sinday church service.

    Majority of Christians have been wrongly churched to be just about as materialistic as the unbelievers however this sermon isn't about money but rather targeted at attacking money-centric error with the subject matter of 'offering' and to dismantle those, in Jesus’ name. To diismantle is to ...read more

    Seeking God and having the ultimate relationship with Him requires complete honesty. Covering our faults and failures is no good to anyone. This message challenges the hearer to examine how honest he/she is with the Lord, himself and others.

Wait, it did happen.... Wait....it does happen......Wait.....it happens all the time. More on that in a ...read more

    When Ananias and Sapphira hatched the plot to deceive the apostles and the church they never suspected that their infamous deed would be retold over the centuries to follow. May it be a lesson to us all.

    The Blame God Game - A 2 Part Message

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Jul 18, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,284 views

    God is love. He disciplines His children. Many believe that means He ‘punishes,’ or ‘scolds’ or ‘spanks’ with severe means in the best eternal interests of the Born-Again Christian.

    How do you reconcile the merciful goodness and love of God with pain, sorrow, sickness, and suffering? The Blame God Game first started in the Garden of Eden when God commanded Adam to “work it and take care of it.” He then told Adam that he was “free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you ...read more
