The Battles Chosen Series

Contributed by Bob Marcaurelle on Mar 3, 2016

Message four in this exposition of First Timothy describes the gnostic error in the early church that was distorting the New Testament faith. Preaching against them our purposes are to purify the faith and to lead false teachers to Christ

Message 4 THE BATTLES CHOSEN B. The Faith Protected “Command certain men not to teach false doctrines any longer.” (1:3) “Fight the good fight, holding on to faith”(18,19). Paul uses strong words. He doesn’t tell Timothy to suggest that false teachers stop, ...read more

Perspective is a certain point of view in understanding or judging things or circumstances. Our number battle is in the mind. The only way to combat the onslaught of Satan’s temptation is to view our human experience with a balanced perspective on life.

Invited But Not Ready

Contributed by Dr. Jwt Spies on May 13, 2021

Being ready when the Lord comes

I want to start this dialog, this interchange and this discourse off by asking a question, my question is, have you ever invited someone out for a day of pleasure and relaxation?

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Jul 19, 2023

Romans 12 has two important commands for each and every believer. Paul gave two of them in the first two verses.

Introduction: Paul’s letter to the Romans is a classic piece of Scripture. Alva J, McClain and perhaps others noted how Paul made four basic divisions: condemnation, salvation, vindication, and exhortation. Chapter 12 begins the final section and indeed begins with a word of exhortation to these ...read more

I Saw The Light

Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 23, 2025

Jesus, the Light of the world, entered our darkness at the cross and proved in the resurrection that light always triumphs.

When you refuse to bow and trust Christ, He joins you in life’s furnace and brings deliverance, testimony, and transformation.

A Church Full Of Deacons Series

Contributed by James Lee on Dec 4, 2015

I would like to thank Pastor Jerry Shirley for sharing this series on Acts. It has been a blessing as well as a great help. I have used these for our church, as I spend my days caring for my dying father.

A Church Full of Deacons Acts 6:1-6 If I were to ask what are the two offices in the church, what would you say? The real answer is Pastor and Deacon.

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Jun 1, 2010

While Kevin Costner starred in a movie called DANCES WITH WOLVES, Steve Irwin was wrestling with crocodiles in real life. I’m sure WRESTLES WITH CROCODILES is his Indian name or at least needs to be. John the Baptist has his own crocodiles to wrestle.

Part 2 – Matthew 11:7-10 – WRESTLES WITH CROCODILES! He was nicknamed “THE CROCODILE HUNTER”, and he was a unique man with a smile as wide as fun itself and Australian to the core. You couldn’t help but remember STEVE IRWIN! He and his wife Terri owned and operated ...read more

As Jerusalem's wall is dedicated, four critical points are shown to us: Each person is valuable to God; Everything done for His kingdom is remembered; Spiritual growth requires time to pass, and for people to be led; God should always be praised.
