     | 10,086 views

    The cross is the central symbol of Christianity. It reminds us of humankind’s sinfulness and of God’s love and power to save us.

    based on 94 ratings
     | 11,520 views

    Life is hard, unfair, and sometimes just plain messy! It requires sacrifice! This is true even of God, who sent His Son as a Sacrifice -- a lamb -- who would pay the price for the injustice, sinful messiness of humanity.

    Isa 53:1-12 1 Who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed? 2 He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him. 3 He was despised and ...read more

Maynard Pittendreigh Senior Pastor Isaiah 49:1-11 Listen to me, you islands; hear this, you distant nations: Before I was born the LORD called me; from my birth he has made mention of my name.

    Several years ago, I heard a Christian friend, Fred Thompson, speak to a group of Christian men about discipleship. He reminded them that the Great Commission exhorts God’s children to make "disciples" not merely converts. He also reminded them that the

  • Bathroom Scale Christianity

     | 4,902 views

    Pentecost 17: It is uncomfortable to consider the shortcomings of our faith life. This message focuses on The advice that the Epistle of James gives us to make our faith vital and active.

    There is one device in many homes that is despised. It is often ignored and hidden away because we just simply don’t want to deal it. When we use it, it can have a wonderful or terrible effect on us. Is it the lawn mower? No! Is it the microwave oven? No! Is it the vacuum cleaner? No! It’s the ...read more

  • Doctrine And The Christian Life

    Contributed by James H Boyd on Feb 20, 2003
    based on 64 ratings
     | 5,046 views

    In this article, I want to look at what the Bible itself says about doctrine, and present a balanced look at the vital role that Bible doctrine plays in the Christian life.

    Jesus answered them and said "My doctrine is not mine, but His that sent me." (John 7:16) But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine. (Titus 2:1) Mention the word "doctrine" among church circles, and you will get a variety of different responses. On one hand, there are those who treat ...read more

    We are plagued with doubts. But these words from Romans are designed to rid our souls of doubt.

    Romans 8:31-39: DOUBT-FREE CHRISTIANITY Have you noticed how often the word “free” appears at the grocery store? Everything is free! What I mean is this – you can buy milk that is fat-free. There are egg-beaters that are cholesterol-free. Special fruits and vegetables are pesticide-free. ...read more

    based on 74 ratings
     | 3,596 views

    I have often been asked by christians "why if the Bible doesn’t mention smoking, how can it be wrong" I believe this message answers those questions.

    What’s Wrong With A Christian Who Smokes? Text (1Cor. 3:16-17) (A) Would Jesus Smoke? Honestly can you imagine Jesus inhaling a cigarette? Can you picture the Lord blowing smoke in your face? NO! Jesus is our example of what a Christian should be. (ILL) My great-grandmother used to say, "If God ...read more

  • Dreary-Free Christianity

    Lots of reasons to be dreary. But there are even more compelling reasons to rejoice.

    Romans 5:1-5 DREARY-FREE CHRISTIANITY This past week with the warmer weather, I was finally able to clean out some of my garage. It’s not such a bad place to be when the weather is decent. One thing I was finally able to get rid of is a pile of dirt that always sits right next to my car. All ...read more

    You are worse off than you think. But, you are also better off than you think. Do understand this is to rid yourself of confusion.

    CONFUSION-FREE CHRISTIANITY (Romans 5:12-15) Confusion is a big problem in our world today. Perhaps one of the best examples of confusion I have ever seen is this past week, on TV.

  • Wearing The Christian Label

    based on 58 ratings
     | 8,708 views

    A label is used to identify certain things relative to which it is attached. Even so, the label "CHRISTIAN" should tell the world a great deal about us.

    WEARING THE CHRISTIAN LABEL “Then Barnabas departed for Tarsus to seek Saul. And when he found him, he brought him to Antioch. So it was that for a whole year they assembled with the church and taught a great many people. And the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.” Acts ...read more

    based on 37 ratings
     | 7,664 views

    Is it right to say that Jesus is the ONLY way? Unless you deny the Word, you better preach the truth and He is the truth and the only way!

    Christianity Is Exclusively Inclusive It is often said that Christianity or at least some sects of Christianity are too exclusive or intolerant in that they do not accept any other faiths as valid and even reject other sects of Christianity. There is a lot of truth in that accusation. The ...read more

  • Christian Toolbox Basics

    Contributed by Jim Twamley on Apr 2, 2003
    based on 45 ratings
     | 12,021 views

    I like to think that every Christian is born again with a spiritual toolbox. In your Christian toolbox are some basic tools. We all need to become experts in using these tools if we want to become mature Christians.

    CHRISTIAN TOOLBOX BASICS Let me see the hands of everyone who has a toolbox. (interview people “What do you have in your toolbox?” - (next person) “Do you have anything different in your toolbox?” “Why do you have a toolbox?” “What would your life be like without your tools?”) I like to ...read more
