    Why You Shouldn’t Speak In Tongues

    Contributed by John Gaston on Nov 7, 2017
    based on 1 rating
     | 11,382 views

    The arguments against speaking in tongues today, if applied to other Bible doctrines, would have all orthodox Bible believers crying foul. The truth is, these arguments are not true to the Scriptures or Early Church experience, and should be rejected.

    WHY YOU SHOULDN’T SPEAK IN TONGUES INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. We’re on our way somewhere! Not just to a normal place like the grocery store or to the bank. We’re on our way to heaven! 2. Have you ever been up a really tall building? A small boy, with his father, was in an elevator going up the ...read more

    The Spirit Of Judgmentalism Series

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Nov 8, 2021
     | 1,335 views

    A popular mantra today is to exaggerate how we should apply Jesus’ caution against judgmentalism, by not even righteously judging evil lifestyles. Let's look at what Jesus actually taught about judging.

    A popular mantra today is to exaggerate how we should apply Jesus’ caution against judgmentalism, by not even righteously judging evil lifestyles. “Judge not, that you be not judged… Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? …” ...read more

     | 4,005 views

    Today we will examine the Scriptures and see how the first Christmas was observed and I hope we will walk away with six principals we can apply in our lives as we seek to celebrate the birth of the Savior this year.

    How do you celebrate Christmas? How did you observe this holiday last year? Did you purchase presents for your loved-ones? Did you serve dinner in your home or were invited to a friend or family member’s home for dinner? Did you attend a church service? Now someone at this point may be ...read more

    Locust Buffet

     | 7,282 views

    God spoke to Joel to tell the people to renew, return to the Lord and rend their heart. The same message applies to us today. What are the Locust storms in our lives. Are we living whole-heartedly for god or is it time to return?

    In 1915 a plague of locusts covered Palestine and Syria from the border of Egypt to the Taurus Mountains. The first swarms appeared in March. These were adult locusts that came from the northeast and moved toward the southwest in clouds so thick they obscured the sun. The females were 2.5 to 3 ...read more

    Christmas sermon looking at the song "Rudolph" and applying his experiences to our lives and understanding how God loves us, how He invites us to join His work, and how He desires to bless us.

    Navigating The Ebb And Flow

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Dec 24, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 607 views

    Jesus shared words to help John's disciples navigate change, as they were dealing with the loss of their leader. He also addressed the change of grace over legalism. This passage can be applied to change within the church.

    I have entitled our message this morning, “Navigating the Ebb and Flow.” The expression “ebb and flow” is an idiom used to describe periods of highs and lows, and growth and decline, just like the rising and falling of the tides. It is essentially the idea that life is not always constant, but ...read more

    19. The Kingdom Parables – The Fifth – The Hidden Treasure – Part 3 Of 4 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Nov 14, 2025
     | 19 views

    The Parable of the Hidden Treasure and its true meaning have been considered in the past two messages. Today we examine the church at Sardis and see how strategic that is to the Protestant Reformation. Sardis means “escaping” and that applied to the Reformation.

    19. The Kingdom Parables – The Fifth – The Hidden Treasure – Part 3 of 4 This study continues. We expand on some of the previous material and then open up a study on the church that matches the fifth parable. There is a challenge in looking at that Revelation church. [H].

    BIG GOALS FOR GOD’S PEOPLE Philippians 3:14 I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

    Now this is interesting. Demon possession, evil spirits cast out, people being healed and a prophecy from the distant past saying this applied to Jesus. Why aren't all people healed today when they come to Jesus?

    Matthew 8:16-17 - "MY SPIRITUAL BATTLE FOR A PANADOL" - Matthew 8 - Part 6 Demons! There was a time when I told the Lord that I would do whatever He wanted me to do EXCEPT CAST OUT DEMONS and do weird stuff like that with the occult.
