    This is an compelling sermon appealling to all christians to cover up for the shame the church (body of christ)is suffering just as Joseph of Arimateha covered the body of Christ!

    Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Feb 13, 2018
     | 27,914 views

    It is vitally important in those matters on which God directs the actions of man, to know, upon what authority anyone presumes to know God’s desires and commandments, and to express them to others. What authority did the earliest Christians recognize?

    This 13-part series of classes has been many years in the making. About 25 years ago I began in earnest to examine the features, character and characteristics of the church as it existed in its earliest years. As I sometimes do, I kept my notes all along the way, and this series of classes is to a ...read more

    Contributed by Freddy Fritz on Dec 5, 2015
     | 8,912 views

    The question about taxes to Caesar in Luke 20:19-26 shows us the distinction between the authority of the government and the authority of God.

    God Is Not A God Of Confusion

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Sep 7, 2023
     | 2,617 views

    We must not imagine that the confusion roiling western culture is because of God. Having rejected the Lord, civilization is confused, and without hope of being set right without God's merciful intervention.

    “God is not a God of confusion but of peace.” [1] We live in a world that is increasingly confused—confused about society, confused about the role of government, confused about the sexes, confused about God. And I could undoubtedly go on about the confusion that reigns in our world. Confusion ...read more

    Liberal Theology In The Churches – Address Number 2 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 19, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,989 views

    Either what the Bible tells us in its totality is true, or it is to be dismissed as fable and we can discount anything we want to. Those who are liberals in churches and colleges deny parts of the bible and adopt humanism to try to adapt the bible. God is supreme.

    LIBERAL THEOLOGY IN THE CHURCHES – ADDRESS NUMBER 2 SECTION 3: THE ELEMENTS OF LIBERALISM (I am presenting some thoughts on this subject helped by some excellent material by Matt Slick who is founder of CARM, the Christian Apologetics and Research Ministry.

    What is entailed in appointing elders? What rights and authority is conferred in the appointment process?

    “When they had appointed elders for them in every church, with prayer and fasting they committed them to the Lord in whom they had believed.” [1] The New Testament model for a church of the Lord Jesus differs significantly from what has been commonly accepted among the churches of our ...read more

    We have been given authority as believers over the kingdom of darkness. This message exposes the enemy, and helps us to understand our authority.

    Declaring War On The Devil Tonight, I want to talk about the enemy. I believe that if we are to declare war on the devil, we must not only know God, but know who our enemy is. I love history, and I know from just watching many different leaders and generals, who prepare war, that when they ...read more

    Belief and doubt often coexist in the same faithful heart. This sermon shows how God speaks through Scripture, meets us in our questions, and calls us to walk by faith with open Bibles and tender hearts.

    Introduction – When Doubt Knocks A young man knelt before his beloved, ring in hand. “Sweetheart, I love you so much. I want you to marry me. I don’t have a car like Johnny Green.

    What made Zacchaeus become a tax collector? Why did Jesus appeal to him so that he would embarrass himself by climbing a tree to see Him?

    A man went for physical checkup and the nurse asked him how much he weighed. He held his stomach in and replied, "160 lbs."
