     | 11,548 views

    Thousands of books have been written in response to that age old question; what's the meaning of life?' Nearly all of them are wrong but there is an ancient book, written by the inspiration of God that tells us the answer to that most perplexing question!

    Today we are going to talk about a question that has perplexed even the most intelligent people on earth for thousands of years. It's a question that has been widely debated by scholars and philosophers and yet simply ignored or even scoffed at by scientists and atheists. That question is "what is ...read more

    We are told to have salt in us. Salt was used in the ancient world, and occasionally today, to preserve meat from corruption. So if we have spiritual salt, we will be preserved against that kind of corrupt thought and behavior.

    Thursday of the 7th Week in Course 2019 St. Hilarius Today we have a rare treat because of the late date of Ash Wednesday and Easter. We get the rare festival of St. Hilarius, about whom I will speak in a moment. By now, most years, we are deep into Lent, and so the saints’ days are suppressed in ...read more

    When Christians Try To Predict The Future Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Nov 7, 2024
     | 853 views

    The ancient phrase "examine the liver" tells of a Babylonian way to try to predict the future. We can shake our head at that, but there's a way we do the same thing today.

    “EXAMINE THE LIVER”: This was an ancient Babylonian process to try to discern the future. - Ezekiel 21:21. - I’m quite confident that I’ve never heard a sermon on this obscure phrase in this obscure corner of the Bible, but I think it’s interesting and sets up an important point about prophecy ...read more

    Who Is That Baby In A Manger?

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Dec 24, 2017
    based on 2 ratings
     | 13,469 views

    By looking at Isaiah's ancient prophecy, we get to know better who Jesus is: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace. Each title reveals more of Christ and how he can change our lives.

    Isaiah 9:2, 6-7 Who is That Baby in a Manger? Did you know that, in the midst of the destruction of Hurricane Irma, babies were born? A woman in Coral Springs gave birth to a daughter on her bathroom floor, assisted by her mother until emergency workers arrived. A Miami woman gave birth just hours ...read more

    The Rights And Wrongs Of Christmas – Part 2 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Dec 5, 2025
     | 184 views

    Part 2 of RIGHTS and WRONGS of Christmas, will look at how Christians can relate to Christmas in the quagmire of pagan beliefs. We look at family gatherings, carols, what churches can do in their services. This can be a very hard time for decision-making in a family, more so if there are children.

    THE RIGHTS AND WRONGS OF CHRISTMAS – PART 2 In this Part 2 we will end with two more WRONGS of Christmas and then do the RIGHTS of Christmas. [7]. PRESENTS AND GIFT GIVING This is a very, very vexed problem because the practice has become so entrenched, that if Christians refuse to ...read more

    We Are God’s Temple

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Oct 5, 2015
     | 5,615 views

    The key to God’s temple is our faith. It keeps us close to God because the Holy Spirit will live in us just like God lived in the temple in ancient Israel. The Holy Spirit assures us that in our relationship with Jesus we can do what he did.

    The passage from 1 Corinthians 3:10-11, 16-23 is a continuation of Paul’s discussion with the church at Corinth, but the focus is now on the necessity of unity among believers. When Paul refers to the body as a temple, he was referring to the Corinthian church as a whole, and as the temple of ...read more

     | 15,545 views

    Sometimes circumstances seem to contradict the fact that God is watching over our lives and guiding its events for our good. How can you respond to the forces of doubt that gather to smother the flame of your faith? Learn from a lady who had 2 crises.

    WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE YOUR FAITH HAS BEEN SHORTCHANGED 2 Kgs. 4:8-37 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A district attorney in a rural court appeared before the judge with accusations against the prisoner.

     | 17,641 views

    This is the story of a mother who couldn’t have a child, then had a miracle birth, followed by the child’s death, and a mother’s grim determination to hold onto God until God should bring her child through. She got in the vortex of the supernatural.

    “TAKE HIM TO HIS MOTHER” 2 Kgs. 4:8-37 INTRODUCTION A. MOTHER HUMOR: What Mom’s Say 1. “Keep making that face and it’s going to freeze that way,” Moms used to say to kids. I knew times had changed when I heard one Mom warn her scowling daughter, “Keep ...read more

     | 3,439 views

    How can we let our light shine and "not let our left hand know what our right is doing"? This sermon explores that question by looking at traditional acts of piety and their practice.

    The Invisible Disciple Matt. 6:1-6 & 16-18 6/10/07 PSCOC Introduction: False impressions. What does a holy person look like? What defines a pious, devout, religious person?

    Relating To Jesus Outside Religion Series

    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,641 views

    Helping ourselves and others relate to Jesus not as one who started a new religion… nor who can be known merely through religious tradition… but who defies religious confines… and who seeks relationship.

    Intro – One of the more interesting dynamics in my own process of having ‘holy conversation’ is when someone asks what I do. When they discover I’m a pastor… I’ve seen all sorts of things go off. Discomfort with their behavior, discomfort with what they then expect from me, or even just ...read more

    The Church Is One Foundation And Jesus Christ Her Lord.

    Contributed by James Linders on Jun 3, 2015
     | 3,295 views

    The church of God is a unified body and has a primary objective. The body of Christ (Church) can NOT be subjected to man-made traditions and denominations, and MUST be led by the spirit of God. Man is ONLY an overseer and NOT the head of the church.

    Acts 2:42 “They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.” BEFORE Jesus departed from His disciples, to return to His heavenly kingdom, He gave them a FINAL instruction:"Go and make disciples of ALL the nations, ...read more

    People have been giving to God from tradition to fear to attempted manipulation. Truthfully, God doesn't need our money. And we only honor him when it's given cheerfully.

    At the beginning of last year, I issued everyone a challenge. That challenge was to trust God with your finances more in 2014 than you have been. The first six months were great. The response to the challenge was accepted. Then we lost two families. Both families were faithful givers and the ...read more
