    This is part 3 in a series that will give our churches some good direction in being the kind of Jesus had in mind. In this message we look at 4 qualities of the kind of church Jesus had in mind.

    "Keep Going!"

    based on 86 ratings
     | 15,266 views

    Speaking to those who are ’sure’ in their faith (not mature, but sure), Paul directs our attention to the Israelites in the wilderness who thought the same thing. We are invited to examine our faith journey.

    Bibliography: Finding Christ, Finding Life: covenant & community Tonight I am speaking to those who are sure in their faith.

     | 4,101 views

    God’s direction for your life can be summarized in several ways; our text suggests we are to engage in several processes to fulfill God’s intent for our lives.

    The Winds Of Change

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Feb 23, 2019
    based on 6 ratings
     | 16,863 views

    The natural winds of the Earth are a type and shadow of the various facets of God moving in the supernatural realm. The direction of the natural winds represents spiritual seasons and movements of the Holy Spirit on earth, including the storms of life.

    “He makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth; he sends lightning with the rain and brings out the wind from his storehouses.” (Psalm 135:7 NIV) The natural wind is the motion or flow of air or other gases that compose the atmosphere of the Earth. God created the atmosphere around the Earth to ...read more

    Are You A Fan Or Follower?

     | 17,471 views

    A call to authentic discipleship inspired by Kyle Idelman's smallgroup study, Not A Fan, this three-point expository sermon identifies three marks of genuine Christ-followers: denial, dedication, and direction.

    Fan or Follower? Scott Bayles, inspired by Kyle Idleman Blooming Grove Christian Church: 8/10/2014 How many of you know what the letters DTR stand for?

    God wants you to realize, to know and to have the confidence as a child of God, as you depend on your relationship with Jesus, to not look at your situation as impossible. But with Him leading and directing the way everything is possible.

    Dependence Day Illus. Jerry Flurry A visitor to the White House when Lincoln was president was with Lincoln for three weeks as his guest. One night, soon after the Battle of Bull Run, this visitor could not sleep. Suddenly he heard a low voice proceeding from the room where the president slept. ...read more

    Regaining Our Purpose Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 5, 2021
    based on 2 ratings
     | 9,295 views

    If a church has lost its purpose, then that congregation will be deprived of direction and momentum. Understanding our purpose will enable us to stay on the right path, in order to remain faithful and fruitful in our kingdom efforts.

    I wish to begin by sharing a verse from the book of Proverbs. Proverbs 29:18 wisely cautions, “Where there is no vision, the people perish” (KJV). The American Standard Version says it like this: “Where there is no vision, the people cast off restraint.” Vision, or rather purpose, establishes ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,707 views

    There are many people whose words are sharp and deadly like arrows. These words when hurled at us cause deep pain, but the psalmist encourages us to not be in dread of these deadly arrows that are directed towards us.

    Protected from arrows Psalm 91 - Study 16 - Protected from Arrows We read in Psalm 91:5-6, “You will have no fear of the evil things of the night, or of the arrow in flight by day, or of the disease which takes men in the dark, or of the destruction which makes waste when the sun is high.” (BBE) ...read more

    Everyone's life is lived with an arc. Jesus and the salvation He gives is the spark that changes the direction of that arc. Ten lepers were healed. The one that returned to thank Jesus had his life transformed!

    God Exists

    Contributed by Dennis King on Sep 8, 2021
     | 3,870 views

    The interaction of all Earthly facets and our perfect positioning within the universe proves we are engaged in a divinely led, interlocking cohesiveness. All this is still being directed by the will and the spoken word of our God.

    God Exists How well do you know your Creator? Do you really believe in our Creator and all that He is? Did God create everything or are we living in chaos by random chance? If we simply look around us at all that “nature” offers, we see evidence that everything indicates there has to be a creator. ...read more

    Be Focused On People, Not Property Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Oct 30, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,253 views

    It is important to note that the church is comprised of people. It is not a building. If we fail to remember this fact, we might make the mistake of directing our energies into preserving property instead of rescuing those who are perishing.

    In Matthew 16:18, we read where Jesus said to Peter, “You are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.” When Jesus stated that He would build His church “on this rock,” He was not referring to the location where they were standing, and He ...read more
