    based on 1 rating
     | 9,597 views

    Paul's advice to the Colossians is still appropriate for us today: Build your faith on Jesus alone, reject any subtitutes or add-ons, and stay away from unhelful squabbles and judgments over non-essentials.

    Colossians 2:6-10, 16-19 Accept No Substitutes (Outlines in MS Word are available if needed; e-mail me at kerry.n.haynes@gmail.com) Paul lived in a time--much like today--when there was a lot of interest in spirituality. Some people were into worshipping angels. Others were coming up with ...read more

    Where Are You Among The Ten?

    Contributed by Luther Sexton on Feb 28, 2019
     | 10,288 views

    If there is one sin that is most prevalent today, it is the sin of ingratitude. God does so much for us. Our indebtedness to Him is enormous and yet we rarely or at least infrequently offer thanks for what He has done.

    A King-Sized Comforter

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on May 21, 2017
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,528 views

    Moments before Jesus' arrest, the Lord took time to explain to his disciples the coming Holy Spirit. For those followers of Jesus and for us, the Holy Spirit reminds us that God is for us, God is with us, and God is in us.

    John 14:15-21 A King-sized Comforter Jesus shares today’s scripture with his disciples over the Last Supper. He knows his arrest is imminent, that he will soon be nailed to a cross, so all of his words here carry a weighty importance. He wants to reassure his disciples, to help them to keep going ...read more

    We’re wrestling against powerful evil forces.

    WRESTLE - “Though sometimes it is used to define a form of recreational sport, here it describes the sharpness of your encounter with the enemy. Paul uses it to convey the notion of a bloody and lasting war between the Christian and his opponent.” Wrestling is not a team sport, but primarily as ...read more

    If we don’t live the Gospel, how will people believe that Christ also lives? People must see that we are real, before they will believe that Jesus is.

He’s been up here before, of course: many of you remember when he was a shepherd in our Christmas pageant a ...read more

    Walk In The Spirit Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Feb 9, 2023
     | 6,475 views

    We know that it is not by might, not by power, but by my Spirit says the Lord, but we set out on our walk with the Lord by sight and might. We need Romans 8 to keep us walking by faith. The right way to walk with God is by the Spirit of God.

    We can put walking in the Spirit of God in a Shakespearian way. To Be (spiritually alive) Or Not to be (spiritually alive) That is the question. And what better way to propose an answer to that question with the chapter from Romans that tells us about the Spirit filled life. Romans Chapter 8 ...read more

Chapter 3 gives an account of the various groups who took part in this rebuilding effort. By now, the enemies of Judah had noticed and were not happy. 1 The Words of the ...read more
