    Every Member Matters

    based on 4 ratings
     | 24,185 views

    The scripture reveals the significance of every member within the body of Christ, the church. We all are important to God; and should in like manner be important to one another in Christ.

    The story deals with a rather old fashioned lady, who was planning a couple of weeks vacation in Florida. She also was quite delicate and elegant with her language. She wrote a letter to a particular campground and asked for reservations. She wanted to make sure the campground was fully equipped ...read more

     | 5,095 views

    Background and Introduction: We can change our world: [1] Because the church belongs to Christ. [2] Because the Word of God works. 1. We must stand on God’s Word. 2. We must stretch for His Word. 3. We must share His Word.

Acts 11:19-21 Grayson Baptist Church - Feb. 10, 2012 *I like what Mark Twain said about change many years ago: “The only person who likes change is a wet baby.” (1) *I like that saying, but it’s not always true is it? -- No. Some change is good! This is especially true ...read more

    Is the Lenten season Biblical or does it spring from church tradition? Is it good, neutral or harmful? Just trying to answer these questions ....

    Traditions... Body Bags: Israel's major airline, El Al, recently rejected a plea by ultra-orthodox Jews with a priestly heritage to fly inside body bags. Why would someone want to do this? Ritual law states that a priest who enters a cemetery becomes religiously "unclean." A ruling by a ...read more

    How To Judge Not

    Contributed by Greg Nance on Apr 27, 2013
     | 4,589 views

    Don't judge me! Who are you to judge me? Popular ideas in today's culture need biblical guidance. Let's look a bit at what this is all about and how God wants us to understand and act regarding judging others.

    Matthew 7 Jesus' words: do not judge, are perhaps the most popular words of our culture today. How do you judge not? Particularly, how do you judge not as Jesus taught us? This command in the sermon on the mount is couched in front of another command that seems very much like a judgment call. ...read more

    Are we to be separated by denomination or in unity as Christians?

    You are not one in one million. You are one in 6-and-a-half billion. There is nobody else like you on the face of the planet, and there is nobody else like you in this body. You are a unique member of the body of Christ.

    INTRODUCTION Open your Bibles please to Romans, chapter 12. I’m preaching through the book of Romans verse after verse. If you did not bring a Bible look there in the pew rack and you should find a copy of the Bible and also maybe somebody beside you will offer to share his or her copy. We ...read more

    Doomsday Shadow

    Contributed by Robert Sickler on Nov 5, 2014
     | 4,580 views

    What is happening in Christendom today is not an aberration in the history of the church, nor is it irrelevant in respect to what will happen tomorrow. What we do today will have a major impact on the Christianity of our children and our grandchildren.

    DOOMSDAY SHADOW ILLUSTRATION As the pastor was summing up the messages and information portion of the morning service he remarked that all church leaders and administrative personnel needed to attend a meeting Thursday evening. It was imperative that they attend. When Thursday evening rolled ...read more

    What were the shepherds really like in Biblical times?

    And in the same region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with fear. And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you ...read more

    God challenges His people to be authentically devoted to Him.

    I voted to close the church; not intentionally, not maliciously perhaps, but carelessly, thoughtlessly, lazily, indifferently, I voted. I voted to close its doors that its witness and its testimony might be stopped. I voted to close the open Bible on its pulpit . . . The Bible that had been given ...read more

    Alive But Dead Series

    Contributed by Martin Holland on Oct 19, 2012
     | 4,945 views

    It is amazing how we can commend ourselves for this or that, but perhaps God has a different perspective about us. This is what the Church thought versus what God knew to be true.

    Alive but Dead Rev. 3:1-6 In our study of the church God has said: • Remember your first love • Persecution is only for a little season • The World is where Satan sits • Watch out for the doctrine of Jezebel Point: It is not what we think about the church that counts, but it ...read more
