    Have You Took Up Your Cross

    Contributed by Jimmy Haile on Jul 24, 2011
     | 5,554 views

    What Does It mean to carry cross.

    Luke 9:23-25-Then He said to them all, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it. For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole ...read more

    Living fully committed to Christ as Paul was when he said, "I am not ashamed of the Gospel," changes our lives.

    “Seven Words That Will Change Your Life” Romans 1:16 Illustration: A lady was out hitting all the local garage sales when she came across an old needlepoint picture that read, “Prayer Changes Lives.” She bought it, took it home and began to look for just the right place to hang the new picture. ...read more

    To lay out the vision and strategies for becoming a church where everyone belongs to a small group that loves them and will help them grow in their love for God and others.

    I was watching a show the other night with my kids called the Suite Life of Zack and Cody. Part of the episode was a re-enactment of The Wizard of Oz story line. Dorothy’s house had landed on the wicked Witch of the West and Dorothy had started on her journey to Oz along the yellow brick ...read more

    Preaching Of The Cross

    Contributed by Phillip Smith on May 24, 2024
     | 1,078 views

    The Apostle Paul said he was not an elegant speaker; he did not desire to use flattering words to draw attention to the cross. It is a shame too many preachers today feel they must use flattery or jokes to attract or keep an audience.

    I have heard many preachers over the span of my life. My father said they began attending church assemblies on Easter just a few days after my birth. Over sixty years have I been in an assembly hearing preaching. Think about the number of years and the many preachers you have heard. You have heard ...read more

    Paul proclaims that we are all one in Christ.

    Galatians 3:1-9, 23-29 “Unified" INTRODUCTION The struggle between Paul and his gospel of grace and the Circumcision Party and their demand for works continue. Last week the Circumcision Party attacked Paul’s credentials as an apostle. They said that Paul really wasn’t an apostle because he ...read more

     | 9,715 views

    One of the principal objectives of this letter was to correct the problems which had arisen in the Corinthian church; the first one the apostle mentions is the divisions which existed there. He urges the members of that church to come together and . . . .

    This study is taken from our ongoing series of "Fabulous Friday Morning Bible Studies" and describes the transformation of Saul from a coat watcher to the Arch-nemesis of the church, the problem of Simon the Sorceror during the Samaritan Revival, and Phil

    Acts 8 Verse 1-3 “THE ARCH-NEMESIS OF THE CHURCH Dr. Luke wants to make certain that the reader is aware of Saul’s presence and attitude regarding the mob execution of Stephen.

    It’s worth following Jesus—even if it brings mistreatment—because, in the end, there will be victory.

    THE BIG IDEA: It’s worth following Jesus—even if it brings mistreatment—because, in the end, there will be VICTORY. Think about how absurd Christianity sounded back when it was brand new (in the first century): Christians worship a man who was executed as a criminal and who they claim came back to ...read more

    To deal with problems here below we need Power from on High. This sermon is only for people who want the power of God.

    Lu 24: 49 Jesus said: (And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.

    The Weapons Of War

    The battle is spiritual -- it is against the devil and, his hordes of demons, the powers of darkness and sin. We will all be tested -- everyone of us marked with the sign of the cross and confessing Jesus Christ as Lord are ENEMIES of the devil.

    One of my favorite movies is “The Godfather” by Mario Puzo. This movie, about a family involved in organized crime,contains some very powerful lessons about the twisted thinking of those whose lives are controlled by Satan. One memorable scene shows a meeting called to make peace after a war ...read more

    Unity Of The Body Series

    A wise Christian leader once said, "In essentials, unity; in differences, liberty; in all things, charity [love]." For any church to succeed there must be unity.

    Unity In the Body Text: Eph. 4:1-6 Introduction 1. Illustration: There can be union without unity: tie two cats together by their tails and throw them over a clothesline. There you will have union, but certainly not unity! 2. A wise Christian leader once said, "In essentials, unity; in ...read more

    Paul gives us a clear look at NEW LIFE - He exposes it, explains it, and emphasizes it.

    This week, I read about a man who was selling an old warehouse. The building had been empty for months and needed repairs. Gangs had damaged the doors, smashed the windows, and thrown trash everywhere. As he showed a prospective buyer the property, he took pains to say that he would replace the ...read more

    Entrust Your Time On Earth To The Triune God - Confirmation Series

    Contributed by Peter Schmidt on May 23, 2005
    based on 14 ratings
     | 6,988 views

    This focuses more on the Confirmation aspect of this Sunday than the Trinity aspect. The basic thrust is how much better it is for these confirmands to follow the Triune God than the devil.

    Confirmation – Trinity Sunday II Corinthians 13:11-14 Did you know that there were confirmation classes in the Bible? Of course, they didn’t look exactly like ours. They didn’t have a blue book filled with a lot of “What Does This Mean’s” and “This Is Most Certainly True’s.” But even in the early ...read more

    How To Find Satisfaction: Romans 12:1-8

    Contributed by James Lee on Dec 3, 2013
     | 5,417 views

    Adapted from a sermon by Brian Atwood. Even with their limitations, Rhinos live a pretty satisfied life. We don’t have to know the future. Who cares that we can see only thirty feet ahead? Whatever’s at thirty-one feet needs to care that we’re coming.

    Have you ever thought about rhinos and their limitations. You see, rhinos can run thirty miles an hour, which is pretty fast when you consider how much weight they’re pulling. They’re actually faster than squirrels, which can run up to twenty-six miles an hour. And even then ...read more

    Hebrews tells us that, if we've been Christians for any length of time, we ought to be teaching. But how do I do that, and why should I bother?

    The comic strip “Peanuts” (by Charles Schultz) often had a Biblical theme to it. In one of his comic strips, Lucy and Linus were staring out the window watching it rain and Lucy says… "Boy! Look at it pour. What if it floods the whole world?" Linus says: "It won't. In Genesis ...read more
