    "Mary's Christmas"

    Contributed by David Henderson on Dec 29, 2014
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,634 views

    When we look back at the life of Mary I see 2 extreme points of view that have surfaced. 1. Many believers have chosen to worship Mary. 2. Others have chosen to completely ignore Mary. The scripture does not support either approach.

    Mary’s Christmas Luke 1:26-38 Most of us recognize that Christmas can actually be one of the most stressful times of the year. For pastors and their families things do not usually slow down—instead things just get busier. For many in the church and community there are those feeling ...read more

    The Unavoidable Consequences When Following Christ Series

    Contributed by Guy Glass on Oct 10, 2014
    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,370 views

    AS WE CONTINUE OUR SERIES IN THE BOOK OF PHILIPPIANS, WE APPROACH THE END OF CHAPTER 1, AND IT IS HERE, THAT PAUL REVEALS TO US THAT THERE IS AN INEVITABLE PROCESS FOR FOLLOWING CHRIST. THOSE WHO SEEK TO SERVE THE LORD WITH THEIR WHOLE HEART CANNOT AVOID IT, AND ARE EXPECTED TO THRIVE THROUGH IT.

    THE UNAVOIDABLE CONSEQUENCES WHEN FOLLOWING CHRIST PHILIPPIANS 1:28-30 IN NO WAY ALARMED BY YOUR OPPONENTS—WHICH IS A SIGN OF DESTRUCTION FOR THEM, BUT OF SALVATION FOR YOU, AND THAT TOO, FROM GOD. 29 FOR TO YOU IT HAS BEEN GRANTED FOR CHRIST'S SAKE, NOT ONLY TO BELIEVE IN HIM, BUT ALSO TO ...read more

    Fisher's Of Men...no Bait Required

     | 20,656 views

    This is the foundation of how the Church grows. For years I’ve been bothered by the GIMMICK VS. GOSPEL approach to ministry in general and evangelism in particular. It seems we don’t think God’s gospel is quite good enough to reach folks,

    Some thoughts in this message are from the archives of C.H. Spurgeon who preached in the 1800’s TITLE: FISHERS OF MEN….NO BAIT REQUIRED SCRIPTURE: ST. MATTHEW 4:18-20 / ST. MARK 1:17 Since my return to Ardmore, Deacon Cooley and a few other brothers have taken me out fishing. I ...read more

    Rapid Advance Of The Gospel Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Aug 6, 2024
     | 805 views

    Thessalonica was a wonderful testimony to a rapid advance approach to ministry. Paul mentions being there three sabbaths (Acts 17:2). There were many who were won to Christ and built up in faith in this short time before the team, Paul, Silas and Timothy moved on.

    My wife and I took part in a nine-month ministry training program called Rapid Advance. The name of the training came from this chapter and from a summary of how the Gospel moved in the book of Acts. Paul did not spend his years of ministry planting a single church and trying to perfect it. He ...read more

    Cherry-Picking The Word Of God

    Contributed by John Gaston on Jan 8, 2025
     | 841 views

    We must approach the Bible without preconceived ideas. We should let it speak for itself. The Holy Spirit never contradicts Himself. If a scripture contradicts our theology, our theology is probably wrong. As Jesus said, "The scripture cannot be broken."

    CHERRY-PICKING THE WORD OF GOD 2 Timothy 2:15 INTRODUCTION A. HUMON: 5 TIPS TO FIND A GOOD HUSBAND 1st TIP: Find a man who loves you & is loyal. 2nd TIP: “ “ “ ‘s fun & makes you laugh. 3rd TIP: “ “ hard worker, makes a good living. 4th TIP: “ “ ...read more

    In Colossians 3:1-2, the Apostle Paul offers profound wisdom on how we should approach life as followers of Christ. Let us explore these verses together and discover how we can live transformed lives by setting our minds on things above.

    Living Transformed Lives: Setting Our Minds on Things Above Colossians 3:1-2 Introduction: Dear brothers and sisters, as we gather today, let us turn our hearts and minds to the eternal truths found in God's Word.

    "Body Talk" Series

    based on 100 ratings
     | 11,232 views

    Paul is trying to get his readers to take a holistic approach to faith and to recognize that we don’t just honor God with our words, or our songs, or attitudes, or our spirits – but honoring God also has to do with how we manage our bodies.

    “Honor God with your body,” says the Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 6:20 (NLT) I don’t know how many times I’ve read through and studied 1 Corinthians over the years – dozens, hundreds? I’ve preached on it and led Bible studies through it. But as I was reading it again this week, this ...read more

    How's Our Faith?

    Contributed by Paul Norwood on May 7, 2018
     | 5,046 views

    As summer approaches, we get check-ups on our home and car air conditioning systems but perhaps we need a "faith" check up. The question in the sermon title is asked rhetorically and then we examine Peter's faith (along with ours) from Luke 22:31-34.

    I. Welcome II. Introduction With blooms everywhere and temperatures in the 80’s, we know summer is just around the corner. As school lets out and the temperatures push higher, there are certain things that might need some attention. I know I’ve already had my home A/C checked and, before taking a ...read more

    The Fatherhood Of God

    What we know about human fathers and what we have experienced as children will affect how eagerly or apprehensively that we approach the concept of the Fatherhood of God. If we had a great human father we gladly embrace the biblical picture of God as our heavenly father.

    Jesus Our Model For Prayer Series

    Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Apr 17, 2016
     | 4,022 views

    When we approach our Heavenly Father in prayer we need to understand that He knows us better than we know ourselves. For that reason we need not be afraid to bring before Him our doubts and fears as well as our questions about faith and life.

    Jesus our model of prayer Matthew 6:5-14 Prayer 5 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others.
