    The Church Boss Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Apr 11, 2010
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,497 views

    If Christ is the head of the church, no bullying can ever be justified to bring about the result a leader desires. We must permit the Spirit of God to rule the church, and not mere mortals.

    “I have written something to the church, but Diotrephes, who likes to put himself first, does not acknowledge our authority. So if I come, I will bring up what he is doing, talking wicked nonsense against us. And not content with that, he refuses to welcome the brothers, and also stops those who ...read more

    The Weapon God Supplies Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Nov 8, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,594 views

    The words of the Word are the sword God has given to each Christian to defend the territory assigned. We must learn the Word and employ the Word, if we will successfully resist the evil one.

    “Take … the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.” God’s Word is the sole weapon provided to His people to enable them to fulfil His charge to stand firm on the ground that He won through sacrifice. Whenever we think of the Bible, we seldom think of it in militaristic terms. However, ...read more

    Messiah Was Presented, But Few Were Ready Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Dec 6, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,675 views

    It is startling that so few people anticipated the Advent of God’s Messiah. However, few look for His presence today; and few will be anticipating His return.

    LUKE 2:22-38 MESSIAH WAS PRESENTED, BUT FEW WERE PREPARED “When the time came for their purification according to the Law of Moses, they brought him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord (as it is written in the Law of the Lord, ‘Every male who first opens the womb shall be called holy to the ...read more

    Lesson 2 : Truncated History Series

    Contributed by Rolland Bouchard on Dec 10, 2009
     | 5,391 views

    A very truncated look at the history of christianity. This message presupposes that many people believe restoration history bypasses the reformation and catholicism. However, it is unhealthy to not acknowlege our past. Instead we ought to embrace it.

    HISTORY: Very, Very Truncated. “In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, 2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe.” Hebrews 1:1 In trying to better ...read more

    A meditation on the meaning of Christ’s sacrifice as we prepare to share at the Lord’s Table.

    MATTHEW 26:26 “THIS IS MY BODY” “As they were eating, Jesus took bread, and after blessing it broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, ‘Take, eat; this is My body.’” “The Body of Christ,” mumbles the priest as he places a wafer on the tongue of each worshipper.

    How Could Anyone Betray His Best Friend?

    Contributed by Bruce Montgomery on Mar 24, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,551 views

    Judas’ betrayal of Jesus serves as a wake-up call of how close we can come to God’s kingdom and still be lost.

    The person you are today will determine the rewards you will receive tomorrow.

    INTRODUCTION: Although all Christians have been saved by faith, Christ will still judge them for the “deeds [done] in the body…whether good or bad” (II Corinthians 5:10). How well or poorly we do here might indeed determine our status in heaven for all eternity. God is seeking a bride who can sit ...read more
