    What “Love Your Enemy” Is. . . And Isn’t: - Matthew 5:44. a. It is not excusing their actions, - Often those who are our enemies have done things to us that have hurt us. Many people misunderstand Jesus’ command to forgive as a call to excuse their actions. - ...read more

    Contributed by James Snyder on Jan 14, 2013
     | 4,293 views

    When God wants to do a work of significance, He calls a man, uniquely prepares that man for His work and anoints that man with power for the work at hand.

    (Luke 1:5-25) Introduction: The most maligned person, from the Devil’s standpoint, is the man-husband-father. This Trinity represents to the devil, God’s authority in the home and society. Therefore, every man walks around with a target on his back. There are more single-family homes ...read more

    There is a high value placed on knowledge or understanding. As a body, we must pay the price to understand 5 key truths.

    Understand Pt. 2 – Saved People I. Introduction Last week I mentioned that there is a high value placed on knowledge and understanding in the Word.

    The Greatest Giver

    Contributed by Martin Wiles on Mar 22, 2012
     | 6,425 views

    In spite of all the ways we give, we can never be the greatest giver. That place is held by God alone.

    Lessons from Simon the Cross Bearer, the man that carried Christ's Cross to Golgotha.

    In Luke 23:26, we read: “When they led Him away, they seized a man, Simon of Cyrene, coming in from the country, and placed on him the cross to carry behind Jesus.” I want to comment on this situation and make points that we can apply to our lives today. First, let's understand ...read more

    The Crown Of Suffering Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Dec 19, 2018
     | 5,029 views

    The scourging Jesus endured would have been unimaginably horrific, but His suffering was from over. Following the merciless beating, Jesus was then subjected to ridicule and mockery. All of this was done for you and me!

    The Crown of Suffering Mark 15: 16-21 Our last study ended with a gripping statement: And so Pilate, willing to content the people, released Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged him, to be crucified. It doesn’t reveal much detail. We are merely told that Jesus was ...read more

    An inspiring teaching on the purpose and power of fasting from the New Testament perspective. It also features a helpful guide for effective fasting.

    A few weeks ago I received a call from a young minister of the gospel who wanted to know my view on the subject of fasting. He explained that he attended a Christian conference recently where the guest preacher got him confused about fasting. According to him the preacher made a mockery of ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 14,623 views

    Taking care of the facilities God has blessed us with is important. The condition of God’s house often is a reflection of God’s people who gather there. If the house is in disrepair, the surrounding community would think the people who gather there are in disrepair as well.

    Today we begin our renovation campaign of “Building in Faith.” Taking care of the facilities God has blessed us with is important.

    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,947 views

    When we picture Christ, we always picture him as the Son of God who started working AFTER he was born on Christmas. But according to the Bible, Jesus was working long BEFORE he was born on Christmas.

    The Miracle Of Forgiveness

    Contributed by Mark H. Stevens Thd on Jan 4, 2017
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,472 views

    They say "To err is human and to forgive divine"...a lot of truth in this statement. It really takes the power of The Lord to help us truly forgive one another.

    Mark 2:7-11 (Wey) "Why does this man use such words?" they said; "He is blaspheming. Who can pardon sins but One--that is, God?"... Jesus asked them, "Which is easier?--to say to this paralytic, 'Your sins are pardoned,' or to say, 'Rise, take up your mat, and walk?' But that you may know that the ...read more
