    Seared Beef Or Sacred Cows

    Contributed by Craig Benner on Dec 27, 2020
     | 2,376 views

    I am sure that we have all heard the term "sacred cows". How does a christian respond to such a situation? Is there a biblical answer? I believe that there is, so let us dive into this sermon.

    Sacred Cows and Seared Beef CALF WORSHIP A heathen (notably Egyptian and Canaanite) practice, in which statues of bull calves were worshipped as symbols of fertility and physical strength. Contrary to the second commandment this was copied by the Israelites and by Jeroboam after the division of ...read more

    We are faced with many questions regarding baptism, especially for those that have been lifelong followers of Christ and yet were never baptized or have been informed that their baptism was not Biblical in some way. What are we to make of these things?

    We are faced with many questions regarding baptism.

    Lazarus is a symbol of disappointment to many of us. We can relate to Martha and Mary as they say “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died. There is Lazarus in everyone’s life. Inside of us is a silent question, when I’m in pain where are you God?

    UNSHAKABLE FAITH John 11:1-44 It is a common knowledge that there is nothing in this world that can be considered as permanent. Even the world that we are living is being shaken by numerous Earthquake every day. This proves that everything in this world can be shaken. But there is verse in the ...read more

    Strange Case Of The Cursed Fig Tree

    Contributed by John Gaston on Nov 10, 2021
     | 4,910 views

    Christ cursed a tree for not having fruit when it wasn't the season for figs. The real symbolism represents God's expectation that we be fruitful and 4 reasons are given why God's expectation is reasonable. Then 3 types of fruit we must have are identified.

    STRANGE CASE OF THE CURSED FIG TREE Matthew 21:18-22 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Barbara Albright, a young woman, was discussing her dating life -- or lack thereof -- with her mother.

    The Forgotten Tree

    Contributed by John Gaston on Dec 15, 2021
     | 3,269 views

    The Christmas Tree has become the main symbol of Christmas; baby Jesus has little connection to it. God's Christmas Tree is the Cross of Calvary. God hung His gift on it -- His Son Jesus. I put up a 5-ft. cross with Christmas lights on it.

    THE FORGOTTEN TREE 1 Pet. 2:24 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. In one Dennis the Menace cartoon, Dennis rushes into the living room. His mother is standing there with her mouth open and Dennis is holding a large box. 2. He announces with a loud voice, “We’d better tell Santa Claus to forget about ...read more

    When The Enemy Comes To Accuse You

    Contributed by Charles Jones on Jul 21, 2022
     | 8,915 views

    In these verses, we see a clear revelation of one of the greatest promises ever given to the human race the promise of salvation, the forgiveness of sins. When we trust Christ for our salvation, our sins are forgiven and we receive Christ’s own righteousness, as symbolized by Joshua’s new clothes.

    When The Enemy Comes To Accuse You And the Lord said unto Satan, The Lord rebuke thee, O Satan; yea, the Lord that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a brand plucked out of the fire?—Zec 3:1-10. v.2 Text As we look at our text the Israelites were engaged in rebuilding the Temple, ...read more

    Sin is the cosmic problem. It is the reason for the existence of the good news. And biblically speaking, without the emergence of sin in Genesis 3, we don’t have Genesis 4 through Revelation 22. The Scriptures tell the story of how God deals with the p

    Unity is vital to any church, but the Bible does not teach unity at all cost. Part 1 of this series examines the Biblical concept of Unity through the truth of scripture.

    Unity and Sound Doctrine (Part 1) Scriptural unity is founded upon sound doctrine and a local church cannot have true unity without building its foundation on the truth of God’s word. A good example of this is explained in Ephesians 4:11-16 11 And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some ...read more
