    The teaching method of education has changed drastically in America, and I am glad it has.

    For example, it use to be for us to make a good grade on our report card we had to have a good memory. For example, in homiletics in college we were assigned to take a test on: • Memorize 10 of these • Memorize 13 of these • Memorize 25 of these And if you had a good memory you made “A” in ...read more

    What kind of first impression of the Christian faith do we leave with those that we meet? If like Paul, we proclaim ourselves as followers of Christ, how loud would our proclamation be if it were under punishment of death?

    Sermon Title: The Truth about the Teaching Text: 1 Timothy 1:1-11 Date: July 13, 2003 AM Context of Scripture: I have given this morning’s message the title, “The Truth about the Teaching”, because oftentimes it is not only the teaching that is important but the reason why we teach and the reason ...read more

    based on 8 ratings
     | 3,787 views

    Dr. Wood used this sermon to show his listener that the first church was totally consumed with God and they did great things in His power. Unbelievers cannot understand the happenings of Christianity until they give their heart and life to Jesus Christ.

Another definition: - To excite or Stimulate - To fill with High Spirits or fill with enthusiasm We will see a type of intoxication like never seen before.

    There comes a time when you are ready to graduate, fly solo, go out and do a ministry apart from the nurturing Christian environment in which you grew. Joshua gives us some help on prospering and remaining faithful.

    The Bible records 4 specific places where God changed the names of individuals. We have been given the name "Christian". Like Abraham, Israel,Peter & Paul, our new name bears a responsibility to live up to that name.

    Some of us are living in a way that was not Jesus’ plan for us. The Christian walk is not one of patching up our old lives. Nor is it adding some commands to our old lives. Jesus’ plan for us is to have a brand new life.
