    "Don't Be Ignorant" 1 Cor. Pt. 10 Series

    Contributed by Michael Mccartney on Aug 20, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,682 views

    We are not to be ignorant to the truth about holy and unholy lifestyles. God will judge sin as He did in the Old Testament and He will hold us responsible for the way we act as Christians. Christians are to glorify God in everything that they do!

    “Don’t be Ignorant” 1 Cor. pt. 10 Opening Illustration: From Wingclips.com “Get Smart” Swordfish scene where he talks of being alert but ignorantly keeps running into things with the car he is driving. Thesis: We are not to be ignorant to the truth about holy and unholy lifestyles. God will judge ...read more

    The Futility Of Wealth Series

     | 9,689 views

    Materialism ensures that we can never fully enjoy the blessings of God

    “He who loves money will not be satisfied with money, nor he who loves wealth with his income; this also is vanity. When goods increase, they increase who eat them, and what advantage has their owner but to see them with his eyes? Sweet is the sleep of a laborer, whether he eats little or ...read more

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jan 23, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,763 views

    Studying the response of the first church when persecuted can encourage a proper response to disruption of services in the modern church in the West.

    “And there arose on that day a great persecution against the church in Jerusalem, and they were all scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles.” [1] Fairmeadows Church met at seven o’clock each Wednesday evening for a prayer meeting. One evening, rather than going ...read more

    A Church Without Walls

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,904 views

    A study of the first congregation of the Lord provides us with the example of a church without walls. The members did gather for worship, but they were compelled to penetrate their world to tell others of Jesus. We must do the same in this day.

    “There arose on that day a great persecution against the church in Jerusalem, and they were all scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles. Devout men buried Stephen and made great lamentation over him. But Saul was ravaging the church, and entering house after ...read more

    Christ receives even thieves and robbers when they receive Him as Master over life.

    “After this [Jesus] went out and saw a tax collector named Levi, sitting at the tax booth. And he said to him, ‘Follow me.’ And leaving everything, he rose and followed him. And Levi made him a great feast in his house, and there was a large company of tax collectors and others reclining at ...read more

    When The Giants Just Keep Coming!

     | 10,255 views

    Each Christian will face battles throughout the life they are called to live. There will not be one battle, but each of us will face multiple battles, and the situations we face may appear overwhelming as we face our own giants. But God will send a deliverer just when we need that deliverer most.

    “There was war again between the Philistines and Israel, and David went down together with his servants, and they fought against the Philistines. And David grew weary. And Ishbi-benob, one of the descendants of the giants, whose spear weighed three hundred shekels of bronze, and who was armed ...read more

    Imperfect Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,957 views

    If someone is looking for perfection in the Bride of Christ, they are not likely to find it. People focus on an ideal symmetry, but God gives His perfection to imperfect. We will be perfected at the return of our Saviour.

    “He had no form or majesty that we should look at him, and no beauty that we should desire him.” [1] Most of us don’t have to look very far to find things we don’t like about ourselves. Young women are trained by society to starve themselves in order to achieve a look they imagine will bring ...read more

     | 5,940 views

    Praising God in this day is preparation for our eternal occupation of praising the Living God. Our praise will no longer be a labour, but a source of eternal joy.

    “After this I heard what seemed to be the loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, crying out, ‘Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God, for his judgments are true and just; for he has judged the great prostitute who corrupted the earth with her immorality, and has avenged on ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 2,127 views

    The message explores biblical reasons for open union with a local congregation.

    “It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that is not tolerated even among pagans, for a man has his father’s wife. And you are arrogant! Ought you not rather to mourn? Let him who has done this be removed from among you. “For though absent in body, I am ...read more

     | 2,060 views

    When those who rule are unjust, how shall the Christian respond? David provides a model for godly response in this 58th Psalm as he encourages the godly to look to the Lord for His deliverance.

    TO THE CHOIRMASTER: ACCORDING TO DO NOT DESTROY. A MIKTAM OF DAVID. Do you indeed decree what is right, you gods? Do you judge the children of man uprightly? No, in your hearts you devise wrongs; your hands deal out violence on earth. The wicked are estranged from the womb; they go astray ...read more

    Surprised by the intervention of God, Balaam pronounces one of the great aspirations of all who know and worship the Lord God.

    “Who can count the dust of Jacob. or number the fourth part of Israel? Let me die the death of the upright, and let my end be like his!” [1] King Frederick the Great of Prussia is reported to have once asked his physician to provide proof for the existence of God.

     | 4,529 views

    God promised to send a Deliverer because of our sin. Jesus is that Deliverer. At Christmas we remember the evidence of God's mercy to broken humanity.

    “Now the serpent was more crafty than any other beast of the field that the LORD God had made. “He said to the woman, ‘Did God actually say, “You shall not eat of any tree in the garden?”’ And the woman said to the serpent, ‘We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden, but God said, “You ...read more

    Worship Is A Matter Of Who, Not How!

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Mar 18, 2022
     | 2,472 views

    In worship, God is more concerned that we focus on Him than than we should be overly concerned about the mechanics of what we are doing.

    “After this the Moabites and Ammonites, and with them some of the Meunites, came against Jehoshaphat for battle. Some men came and told Jehoshaphat, ‘A great multitude is coming against you from Edom, from beyond the sea; and behold, they are in Hazazon-tamar’ (that is, Engedi). Then Jehoshaphat ...read more

    Jesus encourages His disciples to pray. We have a right to ask great things of God, knowing that He will do what glorifies His Name.

    “[Jesus] told [the disciples] a parable to the effect that they ought always to pray and not lose heart. He said, ‘In a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected man. And there was a widow in that city who kept coming to him and saying, “Give me justice against my ...read more

     | 2,010 views

    We who follow Christ are responsible to present the message of grace at every opportunity. Many will dismiss our message as foolish talk. We must honestly present the truth to such people, refusing to give up our stand for the truth.

    “As [Paul] was saying these things in his defense, Festus said with a loud voice, ‘Paul, you are out of your mind; your great learning is driving you out of your mind.’ But Paul said, ‘I am not out of my mind, most excellent Festus, but I am speaking true and rational words.
