    The 5th in our series on 1st Thessalonians. In this sermon we discuss how we as Christians should remain faithful to the Lord.

    Hold the Line Text: 1st Thessalonians 3:6-10 By: Ken McKinley (Read Text) Before we get too far into this sermon lets re-cap a little bit, so that we can get the context of this passage.

    The Temple Incident

     | 4,580 views

    Jesus actions in the temple demonstrate that we have a responsibility to reach out and not just to make things comfortable for ourselves.

    The story we read today is an interesting one. It’s one that doesn’t really fit with the picture of Jesus that we usually think about. How does a loving Jesus, who goes around teaching good morals, fit with this violent figure who disrupts a market place, stops temple worship and causes chaos. If ...read more

    Good morning, beloved family, friends, and visitors. We are here today, gathered in this sacred space, in the presence of God. We are here to learn, to grow, to find comfort and hope in His word.

    We have many church shoppers and hoppers these days, who do not have full understanding of what church really is or perhaps they are looking for a perfect Church. Let me assure you, there are no perfect churches, because there are no perfect people.

    BE THE CHURCH! Romans 12:3-13 Introduction: When I ask you what is a Church, you may answer in one or two ways: A church is a building where Christians go to worship. Or a group of committed believers of Christ, figuring out how best to live out their faith. When people come to church, they come ...read more

    People won’t care what we say, if it is just words, with no actions...

    1 Corinthians 13 1 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am ...read more

    Living In The Light (John 3:19-21) Intro: A. Conflict. We hate it, but everyone faces it. There are personal conflicts that we may have with other people.

    What can I do next? Acts 4:32-35 1. Early Christians greatest desire was to Remove poverty, of widows and orphans • So they sold houses land then gave all those Gains to church • Vs 34; 34There were no needy persons among them.

    Man’s view of the church is often very different from the one Jesus demonstrated and Paul described.

    I can stand anywhere in my back yard and see my church. It sits rather majestically at the apex of our little town. Its stained glass windows chronicle its founders. Inside, a huge chandelier hovers over our pew. I don’t know who appointed us to sit in that particular pew, but it must have been ...read more

    As we celebrate the Feast of Pentecost we appreciate the ministry of the Holy Spirit, without Whose presence in it, this church, every church, would only be a gathering of people.

    When times are tough, pray in faith, because you are fogiven. Persevere with hope, because God is faithful. And provoke one another to love, because Jesus is coming. These core values of faith, hope, and love will keep the church on track.

    Not too long ago, a real estate listing in Dallas had the simple headline: “Converted Church.” In other words, what had once been a church facility is now somebody’s house.

     | 6,400 views

    God wants His church to grow and He commissioned us to evangelize, and if the church is doing its job it should grow, but numerical growth in itself is not evidence that God is blessing. It’s important to remember that the goal is to try to restore the church of the 1st century in its principles.

    Let the Church Be the Church Acts 2: 36 – 47 A newspaper reporter was doing a story on growing churches, and in preparation for that story he interviewed a number of preachers. I want to share the questions asked of these preachers and then give you my answers to them. One of the questions he ...read more
