    Pastors - Their Biblical Calling

    Contributed by Mario Bruni D. D.. on Jul 16, 2016
     | 6,644 views

    Let us now examine the most Biblically undefined office, the Pastor. This office over many years of church history has been run down, despised, overlooked, traditionalized, glorified, idolized, and even cherished, but always misunderstood.

    Pastors “And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers.” Ephesians 4:11 Let us now ...read more

    Jesus Christ is God in the flesh, God in the Spirit and God in the Word. I can not accept nor should you dear Christian that we dethrone Jesus Christ from His glorious position as King of Kings and Lord of Lords to become a member of an amalgam of lesser

    Jesus the Love of God: John 15:1-17 How do we tell the world that Jesus is the full expression of Gods love?

    You Choose

    Futuristic promises are recorded in God's Word. Satan doesn’t want the saints to believe such promises for trusting in them removes the anguish caused by them. So then, how does one stand in an upright position when everything seems to go against thee?

    “You Choose” “The Lord will make you the head, not the tail. . . you will always be at the top, never at the bottom.” Deuteronomy 28:13 I can remember hearing this statement from my childhood. The severity of this statement wasn’t clear to me at that time. To be ...read more

    Authentic Christianity

    The church was never meant to be a “secret society” or an “exclusive group of elites.” We were never meant to exist for Sunday! We were never meant to be a club of positive thinkers who would tell each other how good we are.

    Authentic Christianity INTRODUCTION: If you want to know what someone is all about, just listen to what they say. Jesus once said: “Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaketh”. The Living Bible puts it this way: “Whatever is in the heart overflows into speech”. Sometimes I ...read more

    Suffering comes to everyone. In fact there is not one person who can escape the sting and pain of suffering. However, when we understand the possible sources of our suffering, then we are in a position to move ahead in life as we seek God’s purposes.

    The Source Of Our Suffering 1. Suffering May Be Caused By the Activity of Satan… Job 1-2 a. Satan desires to destroy us physically. b. Satan desires to destroy us emotionally. c. Satan desires to destroy us spiritually. 2. Suffering May Be Caused by the Activity of Ungodly People… Rom. 1:28-32 ...read more

    Paul describes the spiritual blessings Christians have in Christ. He prays that Christians would realize the lofty position to which they have been called. He describes the absolute reign of Christ & His triumph over the would-be powers of the age.

    Intro In 1886, Robert Louis Stevenson wrote the allegory/novel, “Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Jekyll and Hyde are one and the same man, but one character is good & the other is evil Acting on the theory that it was possible to separate his character into good & evil, Dr. Jekyll created ...read more

    Being negative is easy; it requires no work because it comes natural. All you have to do to fail is nothing. On the other hand being positive isn’t as easy; it requires work. Optimism in the face of adversity is difficult and is hard to find in this day a

    based on 5 ratings
     | 21,784 views

    Making His way toward the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus declared that He was the True Vine. Those abiding in Him would bear much fruit. Jesus took time to describe the significance of His position as the Vine and the great care afforded the branches.

    The True Vine John 15: 1-5 We have come to the last of the I Am statements recorded in John’s gospel. Along with the previous statement when Jesus declared He was the Way, the Truth, and the Life, these comments followed their intimate time within the Upper Room. Jesus and the disciples are at ...read more

    Rev. Mike Moseley helps us dive deep in Chapter 2 of 1 Peter by examining Jesus' critical role as the Cornerstone of our faith, and challenges us to see our need to place Him in the sole position of authority in our lives.

    Matthew 17:19-20 – Why Don’t I Have Enough Faith? Series

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Oct 8, 2014
    based on 1 rating
     | 9,989 views

    Is faith just optimism draped in impotence? Jesus faith is positive and powerful? Is their faith a bonsai faith, kept small and so stunted that it is inept; dwarfed by the enormity of circumstances that are in need of a miracle? How could this be? Midget faith is not mustard seed faith!

    Matthew 17:19-20 – WHY DON’T I HAVE ENOUGH FAITH? Why are some people healed and others not healed? Is it my faith that is deficient? Jesus is asked a similar question by His disciples when they had not been able to heal a little boy. In Matthew 17:19-20 (NLT) they ask “Why ...read more

    Demonstration Of Royal Service

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Apr 24, 2012
     | 7,004 views

    Jesus had so little time left for the disciples to learn that the way to glory is through service and not through position and authority. How could Jesus get the message across forcibly enough so that they would never forget the truth? This is what led

    Three weeks in John 13. Just before tonight’s passage, as recorded in Luke 22 and Mk. 10, the disciples had been arguing over who would hold the leading positions in the government Jesus was about to set up. The discussion was heated. They were caught up in the ambition for position and ...read more

    Under Angelic Protection Series

     | 4,751 views

    You may have observed the additional security being provided by the government for those who are in high positions, especially if there is a threat to their life. However, as children of God we need to be reminded that our protection comes not from men, but from God Himself.

    Under Angelic Protection We read in Psalm 91:11, “For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.” (ESV) Psalm 91 in its entirety portrays most vividly the protection of God that is available to all those who take refuge in God and make Him their dwelling place.

    We can get so busy in DAILY MENIAL CHORES that we forget the beauty of an intimate relationship with God. Mary is found 3 times at Jesus' feet. At Jesus' feet is more than a position. Choose the good part.

    What does a minister do when he arrives at a church and many are unsaved and in leadership positions? Bringing the world’s methods into the church will cause tension. The controversial matter of women in leadership roles looked at. There must be good elders in support.
