    The Kind Of Person God Protects Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Feb 17, 2021
     | 6,154 views

    Many of the promises of God's protection or provision in the Bible are actually conditional. They absolutely don't apply to anybody and everybody. Jesus shows us in John 6 exactly what kind of people can expect His protection and provision, and what kind of people can't.

    Psalm 91 has always, from very early in my Christian life, been one of my favorite Psalms, because it speaks so beautifully and certainly of the Lord’s protection. I mean, just listen to it—it’s makes for beautiful poetry as well as for comforting thoughts—“He who dwells in the shelter of the ...read more

    The Pastoral Challenge

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Oct 24, 2022
     | 3,891 views

    Timothy was not technically a pastor; he was actually Paul’s “delegate.” Nonetheless, he approximated the pastoral role in that he was a shepherd. Timothy faced a number of challenges, as do modern pastors who are serious about the Word. Let’s look at a few of them.

    The Pastoral Challenge (I Timothy 4:6-16) 1. At a recent pastor’s retreat each minister in attendance was asked the following question: “How many people does it take to replace a burnt out light bulb?” The answers were as follows. 2.A Reformed Pastor responded, “None. If God wants the bulb ...read more

    "the Power Of Discipleship & Evangelism."

    Contributed by Dr. Jerry Hulse on Jan 19, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,987 views

    The power of evangelism is one of the most effective ways of reaching out to a world in search of answers with some looking for a reason to live. You cannot give what you do not have, and, to be a successful soul winner, you must know the value of what you are presenting to others.

    SCRIPTURAL REFERENCES (Matthew 28:19-20) (19) “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and the Holy Ghost:” (20) “Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I ...read more

    Jesus is the Prophet of whom Moses spoke. His first advent set in motion the fulfilment of God's redemption of sinful man.

    “The LORD your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you, from your brothers—it is to him you shall listen—just as you desired of the LORD your God at Horeb on the day of the assembly, when you said, ‘Let me not hear again the voice of the LORD my God or see this great fire any ...read more

    The Characteristics Of A Godly Man

    Dear friend, being born male is just the beginning. It takes a lot of hard work and courage to become a true man, especially one who follows the teachings of God. To truly understand what it means to be a real man, we need to examine the differences between being a male and being a mature man.

    SCRIPTURAL REFERENCES (1 Corinthians 3:11) "When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things." (Proverbs 23:24) "The ...read more

    To conquer jealous comparisons before they conquer you, humble yourself and exalt the Savior.

    An urban legend has Microsoft’s Bill Gates speaking at a COMDEX computer expo several years ago. Supposedly, he was comparing the computer industry with the auto industry.

    4 of 6. The apostle Peter encouraged the Churches to bolster/strengthen their faith in Christ, in order to provide an abundant entrance to God’s kingdom. God’s people are obligated to further their faith. ?What does ‘Furthering Your Faith’ involve or entail? Furthering Your Faith involves...

    Heads Or Tails

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 8, 2009

     | 5,144 views

    The old argument between Paul and James, faith or works, is really two sides of the same coin. Both are needed for a church’s life to be whole. Preached on a Sunday when members were asked to sign up for various ministries.

    The funny thing about arguments is that two people can use all the same information and can come out on exactly the opposite ends of the argument. Two different people, just because they are different personalities, can read the same data, hear all the same pros and cons, examine all the same ...read more

    "Commission"

    Jesus had a commission from the Father, which He fulfilled perfectly. We also have a commission, but ministry opportunities aren’t always pretty.

    I call the Gospel of Mark the ‘guy’s gospel’. It’s full of action from the very start. It is descriptive. Jesus sleeps in the boat during a storm, we’re told by Matthew Mark and Luke, but only Mark mentions that He’s sleeping on a cushion (4:38). All four Gospel writers tell of His feeding ...read more
