    If I Lead Will Anyone Follow? Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Oct 11, 2015
    based on 24 ratings
     | 18,710 views

    Every church needs to be led. How does someone with the gift of leadership lead the church the way God wants them to? How can leaders avoid hurting God's church? And how can a leader be sure they're leading the church the way they should?

    OPEN: I once talked with a friend of mine who told about the new preacher his congregation had hired. In the type of church my friend attends they have “pastors” who are placed in the position of running the church. And my friend was talking about the great respect he had for his ...read more

    The Dangers Of Deception (Part One) Series

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on May 22, 2017
    based on 1 rating
     | 13,489 views

    The word 'deceive' in its various forms occurs 87 times in the NIV. Deception is a dangerous thing; both in being deceived as well as being the one doing the deceiving. So let's find out how can we avoid the trappings of falling into either side of it.

    THE DANGERS OF DECEPTION (part one) A man was standing on the street corner looking pitiful in his dark glasses and shabby clothes, holding a tin cup. A kindly man passed by and dropped a quarter in the cup. As he walked away and turned the corner he instinctively turned to look at the blind ...read more

    The Unavoidable Consequences When Following Christ Series

    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,944 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

    Blessed Is The Man

    Contributed by Jerry Smith on Jul 5, 2014
    based on 2 ratings
     | 9,253 views

    Dear Christian, how much grief befalls us because we fail to listen to the Word of God? Because we fail to RECOGNIZE the counsel of ungodly? Because we fail to AVOID areas and thoughts that lead us to sin? Because we think LIGHTLY of sin.

    The process: Ungodliness leads to sin, and sin leads to making a mock at sin. The idea: To start with walking in counsel that is ungodly leads to opening yourself up to outright sin, which in turn leads to feeling comfortable with it and where we eventually become numb to it and begin to laugh at ...read more

    Why Are You Laughing? Series

    based on 2 ratings
     | 9,257 views

    Sometimes we scoff at the idea of the miraculous things God desires to do in our lives! We shouldn't be shocked at God's favor and His doing the impossible! Doubting God is never a “laughing matter”! Doubt is a poison we should do our best to avoid!

    Why Are You Laughing? Continuing with the series, “Questions?” • First week, “Did God Really Say…?” • Second week, “Am I My Brother’s Keeper?” • Both of these were questions asked in opposition to God’s plan and purpose This week, we are going to look a little closer at a question that was asked ...read more

    Overcoming The Evil Decree

    Contributed by Maurice Mccarthy on Jan 20, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 14,028 views

    The future is filled with possibilities both good and evil. There may be some very unpleasant things ahead for you that you can avoid as Jesus taught in Mt 24:20,21. We will examine a very clear example of overcoming the evil decree found in the book of Esther.

    Overcoming The Evil Decree I want to begin by explaining what I mean by an evil decree. An evil decree is something painful and hurtful that may or may not happen unless you take action to stop it. Shortly I will show exactly that from the biblical book of Esther. But as a little background ...read more

    Heading To The Feast Series

    This message looks at Jesus' final observance of the Feast of Tabernacles. Jesus had been avoiding going to Jerusalem since Passover six months before this. We will look at this feast using three time periods designated in the text (beginning, middle, and end of the feast).

    The Treasure Of Scripture Over The Experience Of People: A Warning

    When the rich man in hell begged for Lazarus to be sent back to warn his family about avoiding his fate, Abraham reminded him that they had the Scriptures. Nothing else has ever been used of the LORD other than His Word to convict the sinner.

    Whenever a real man of God stands behind the pulpit and preaches the Word of God (2 Timothy 4:1-5), he is to hold nothing back and never compromise the Scriptures for the sake of feeling, alleged offense, or cultural beliefs. No preacher worth his sacred calling should ever water down the power ...read more

    If That's The Way Christians Act, I Want Nothing To Do With Their God!

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jan 6, 2022
     | 1,745 views

    Lost people often use our failure to live as we ought to justify their rejection of Christ. While we cannot excuse them, we must know that we do offend. Therefore, we require grace to honour God and to avoid giving offence to the lost.

    “Beloved, I urge you as sojourners and exiles to abstain from the passions of the flesh, which wage war against your soul. Keep your conduct among the Gentiles honorable, so that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day of visitation.” ...read more

    Keepers Of The Flame Series

    based on 24 ratings
     | 18,495 views

    God’s desire is for us to be joyful always, to pray continually, and to give thanks in all circumstances. We must avoid every kind of evil and make sure that we allow the Spirit’s flame to burn brightly in our lives as we await His glorious appearing.

    Keepers of the Flame A guy from Wisconsin and a man from Illinois are sitting next to each other on a long flight to L.A. The Illini leans over to the Badger and asks if he’d like to play a game to pass the time. The cheesehead just wants to take a nap, so he politely declines. The flatlander ...read more

    Ignorance Is Bliss -- Not!

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jun 14, 2009

     | 6,654 views

    First Baptist Church of Gaithersburg, MD: We avoid too much information because we know we will have to respond. Some escape into private piety; some escape from knowing themselves. But true bliss comes from knowing how to invest in Kingdom concerns.

    You can buy it anywhere in Pennsylvania Dutch country – a banner, an apron, a towel, anything really – and it proclaims, in pidgin German, “Ve get too soon oldt und too late schmart”. Your preacher this morning is a walking example of that ancient truth. Too soon oldt und too late schmart. The ...read more
