    What Makes Us Worthy?

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Jun 23, 2018
     | 11,691 views

    What does the Apostle Paul mean when he says we can come to the communion table "unworthily"?

    Normally when I minister the first question I ask is “How is the blessed of the Lord?” I’m not going to do that today. I am going to make a declaration. You are the blessed of the Lord. You are the son and the daughter of God Almighty. Everything in heaven is available to you. You are healed. Your ...read more

    Paul's Thorny Trial - Was It Sickness Or?

    The issue of the Apostle Paul's thorn-in-the-flesh has been hotly debated for centuries.

    "And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of satan to buffet me, lest I be exalted above measure" (2 Cor 12:7 NKJV) Some have held that this "thorn" was an eye disease that God ...read more

    Twenty-Eighth Sunday In Ordinary Time; 28th Sunday B Rich Young Man

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Oct 9, 2021
     | 1,325 views

    By the apostles leaving all of that, we can see that Jesus relativized all of the central institutions of his society.

    The rich young ruler is not boasting; he is just speaking as a devout Jew. Not all Christians are called to literally give away their possessions, but all disciples are called to give up everything by way of detachment; that everything we have ultimately belongs to God. Spiritual poverty means to ...read more

    Persecution Not Prestige

     | 304 views

    Someone failed to tell the Apostles that they were to be the head and not the tail or they would not have suffered so much and only to be executed.

    Deuteronomy 28:13 And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them: 14 And thou shalt not go aside from ...read more

    Not much is known of Gaius, he was probably a faithful member in one of the churches of Asia Minor. The Apostle John conveys his own appreciation for Gaius by calling him “beloved,” 4 times in this one chapter. For the Apostle John to ask about Gaius’ hea

    The Book Of Galatians – Chapter 2:11-21 - Message 5 – Paul Reprimands The Apostle Peter Publicly Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Feb 17, 2023
     | 1,638 views

    How do we deal with others in reprimand? How do we deal with serious problems in the church and in Christian lives? It is difficult. In this message Paul had to reprimand Peter publicly because Peter failed in the very matter Paul was fighting against.

    THE BOOK OF GALATIANS – CHAPTER 2:11-21 - MESSAGE 5 – PAUL REPRIMANDS THE APOSTLE PETER PUBLICLY We are continuing the series in Galatians, following the letter that deeply impressed Paul’s heart because the gospel he preached was being mangled.

    Thaddaeus – A Disciple With A Question Series

    based on 19 ratings
     | 14,209 views

    While there are times when Jesus became a little frustrated by the questions the disciples asked, He never got to a point where He told the disciples to stop asking questions because having questions is part of our growth as disciples.

    Message John 14:22 Thaddaeus – a disciple with a question Most of us have had experiences with five year olds – five is the year of questions. Generally these questions tend to fall into one of three categories. • There are the easy questions … “What makes peanut butter?” “When can I go to ...read more

    Peter is often depicted as a weak and unreliable disciple, but was that really his problem... or was there something else that lay behind his denials of Christ in the High Priest’s Courtyard?

    OPEN: Nearly 30 years ago on October 30, 1974, Muhammad Ali and George Foreman squared off in the boxing ring in Zaire. Ali had dubbed it “The Rumble in the Jungle.” Foreman was heavily favored, and was considered to be the hardest puncher in heavyweight history. Foreman was fairly confident he ...read more

    The Faith Of A Doubter

    Thomas is called the doubter, but he is also the confessor, who made a remarkable confession like no other and did a marvelous work as far east as India.

    Intro When Jesus appeared to his disciples after his resurrection what happened and what did he say? Goal I hope that we can learn that doubt is a normal and natural part of a life of faith. Plan We will look at Jesus’ appearance to ten of the eleven remaining disciples and then to ...read more

    Do You Love Me?

    based on 4 ratings
     | 17,610 views

    Jesus asks Peter this question three times. It is the only time in scripture where Jesus asks anyone, "Do you love me?" It is an important question that determines our ultimate destiny.

    Do You Love Me? What are some things that you love? How does your love of these compare with your love for Jesus Christ? There’s a song in our songbook that goes: “The things that I love and hold dear to my heart are just borrowed they’re not mine at all. Jesus only let me use them to brighten ...read more

    We don't witness because we see only downsides; yet many will go to their graves without faith unless lay people preach the Gospel by word and deed

    Monday of 10th Week in Course 7 June 2010 You Will Be My Witnesses Why do we hesitate to boldly share our faith with those we meet? I think the reason is that we see only personal downsides to the action. Elijah spoke the word of God to the king of Israel. We’ve forgotten the king, but we ...read more

    I Believe In The Holy Catholic Church Series

     | 11,456 views

    The church of Jesus Christ is catholic, i.e. "universal". All of every age, race, and station stand in need of the means of grace which it alone supplies.

    The most misunderstood part of the Apostle’s Creed is the phrase we are considering today. I have had sincere people tell me that they do not repeat this part of the creed because they think that it means the Roman Catholic Church, and if they had wanted to be Catholics they would have ...read more
