You Hold The Key

Contributed by Curtis Kittrell on Aug 30, 2001

One can see from these examples of binding and loosing that it means more than declaring something lawful or unlawful by preaching. It also means to confirm the truth by power as Christ and the apostles did.

You Hold the Key "I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven." -- (Matthew 16:19) Matthew 16:19 a [thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven] Not to ...read more

Dream Generously Series

Contributed by John Harvey on Mar 20, 2006

I don’t want to preach to you about tithing. I want to encourage you to live a generous life! Jesus said more about money than anything else.

A minister was speaking about all the things money can’t buy. “Money can’t buy happiness, it can’t buy laughter and money can’t buy love” he told the congregation. Driving his point home he said, “What would you do if I offered you $1,000 not to love your mother and father?” A hush fell over the ...read more

At the first Council of teh Church, held in Jerusalem it was affirmed that the preaching of the gospel brings freedom because the gospel is all about the grace of God, the freely given forgiveness won by Christ on the cross.

What are the guiding principles that govern our life together? They’re the sorts of questions that arise out of today’s passage from ...read more

Meet Me At The River

Preached on the Sunday of ’Christ the King’, this sermon addresses the question-What do we understand when we call Christ King? How does his Kingdom impact our lives?

"Do You Hear What I Hear?”

Contributed by Chris Mccall on Jul 16, 2009

As we have been noticing, the message of REPENTANCE was preached very much by Jesus Himself! He always gave stern warning as to the results of a life that does not heed to true repentance in their life!

Remember the song that says; “Do You Hear what I Hear?” Today I want to finish this series with that thought. My prayer is that I can communicate in such a way that it will reach into your heart & perhaps change things forever! Get this; READY OR NOT, JESUS IS COMING SOON! I. Church of Sardis… ...read more
