    Contributed by Jerry Flury on Oct 15, 2014
    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,039 views

    Christ loved the church and gave Himself for it. But what is the church and what is it supposed be? There are three characteristics which the church must possess - commonality, community and communication.

    What is a Church? Acts 2:41-47 Christ loved the church and gave Himself for it. But what is the church and what is it supposed be? A textbook definition, answering that question, is that a church is a body of called-out believers united together for worship, prayer, study of the Word of God, ...read more

     | 6,365 views

    #7 out of 2 Peter. In 2 Peter 10-13, Peter instructs the believer that a day is coming when Paradise Lost will be Regained.

    PARADISE LOST…PARADISE REGAINED “But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare. Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you ...read more

    Jesus Teaching At The Temple Series

    Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Jul 9, 2016
     | 7,056 views

    Jesus is not asking the Jews to become expert judges of one another– far from it. He is instructing them (and us) to know who it is we should worship; and when we worship, to do so properly without our own views inserted.

    Jesus Teaching at the Temple John 7:1-24 Introduction - The gospel of John screams of the faith that we should have in Christ -- It is the clearest example of living life FOR the one who redeemed you and I - Today we will see two different stories played out before us: -- The first deals ...read more

    We Interrupt Your Slumber For This Important Announcement

    What is signified by the birth of John the Baptist?

    We Interrupt Your Slumber for this Important Announcement! Luke 1:67-80 It had been a long time since Israel had heard the voice of God speaking through one of His prophets. It had been 400 years since Malachi, the last of the prophets had spoken. This prophet had spoken of a restoration of ...read more

    Don't Offend My Children, Or Else

    Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Sep 21, 2021
     | 1,589 views

    Even as Jesus suffered offense at the hands of others, every Christian shall likewise suffer. How we respond to this offense is important.

    Don't Offend MY Children, or Else! Mark 9:38-50 It is a bit odd that this week’s gospel text from the lectionary begins with John’s response to what Jesus had just said. It is poor practice to start in the middle of a paragraph. Before we can analyze this text, we need to ask: “What was John ...read more

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

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Nov 14, 2025
     | 103 views

    The closing message looks at the Reformation along with the incompleteness and deadness. The Reformation was wrought with many problems that stunted the movement. That is considered, and we finish with a look at the promise given to Abraham.

    20. The Kingdom Parables – The Fifth – The Hidden Treasure – Part 4 of 4 This interesting Parable has been examined in regards to meaning, to its matching church, and to Church History as can be done for all these Parables of the Kingdom. This last message is looking at the reasons why the ...read more

    In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus delivers teachings that challenge the status quo and redefine the principles of God's kingdom. Among these teachings is the command to love our enemies—a call that transcends human understanding and reflects the transformative nature of God's love.

     | 1,022 views

    Many of us have heard this phrase of Live, Love and Lead like Jesus. Many a times this becomes a cliche and we don't go beyond the obvious meaning of those words. Dr. Madana Kumar dives deep into this phrase and brings out the full implications of doing this in real life.

    Living, Leading and Loving Like Jesus All of you are familiar with Lead like Jesus. So it is safe to assume that you have heard the words “Live, love and lead like Jesus” many times. The Lord has laid it on my heart to examine this statement a bit more this morning. Living like Jesus is a ...read more

    Seven Reasons Why The Resurrection Of Christ Is So Important

    Contributed by Benjamin Utomo on Apr 15, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,796 views

    The resurrection is not only a fundamental part of the Gospel, but it is the glue that holds every part of the Gospel together. Without it, Christians are believing in vain and are without hope.

    Opening: Unlike other religions, Christianity is based on Christ Jesus: His incarnation to be a Man, His life and teachings, His death and resurrection, His ascension to heaven, and His second coming.  Christ is the center of Christianity. No Christ, no Christians, or no Christ’s followers! ...read more

    What do you do when you are in a difficult place in life? You seek the Lord because He has some great news for you. His grace can empower you to rise up above whatever has brought you down.

    HAVE YOU HEARD THE NEWS? ISAIAH 40:27-31 Have you heard the news? My boyfriend just proposed to me and we are engaged. Take a look at this ring he bought me!

    A look into what the Bible says about "the beginning"

    What makes a good story? For me, I am not an avid reader. I average reading probably only one book every three years or so. It takes me a long time to read a book, usually. Most often when I have a hard time reading a book it is because I have a hard time getting into reading that book, and it ...read more

    Contributed by Charles Payne on Jul 4, 2025
     | 195 views

    As we reflect on the birth of the United States this Independence Day, many feel a tension between celebrating liberty and grieving the stain of slavery that existed at the nation’s founding. That grief is valid.

    INDEPENDENCE DAY MESSAGE — JULY 4 INTRODUCTION Today, as we celebrate the birth of the United States of America, we remember not only the courageous acts of our Founding Fathers, but the deep convictions that stirred their hearts and shaped this nation's founding. This was not a mere revolt ...read more
