    Hazard Ahead: Hypocrisy

    Contributed by Joseph Stapleton on Mar 29, 2011
    based on 4 ratings
     | 12,138 views

    A main excuse for worldly people not to come to church is that the church is full of hypocrites, well there is always room for one more.

    HAZARD AHEAD: HYPOCRISY (All my sermons use illustrations found at www.sermoncentral.com and All scripture is NIV unless otherwise noted) Perhaps one of the biggest reasons given by non-churchgoers is “church is full of hypocrites.” This is true to some extent, but there is always ...read more

    On the second Missionary Journey, the Church in Philippi is birthed with pain and injustice. Yet God used that to birth his Church there

    IC/NR 20-05-07 1. Introduction: I rather like the book of Acts, because it shows the Church in action, warts and all. It is a dynamic book, written as a sequel to Luke’s Gospel. And unlike Luke’s Gospel – we see Luke’s personal reminiscences appearing – in ...read more

    Biblical Servanthood

    Contributed by Chuck Brooks on Sep 21, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,129 views

    As with other traces of worldliness that has seeped into the Church, the preoccupation with self has found its way into the Church as well.

    We live in a very proud and egotistical generation. It is now considered acceptable and even normal for people to promote themselves, to praise themselves, and to put themselves first. Pride is considered a virtue by many. Humility, on the other hand, is considered a weakness. Everyone, it ...read more

    The attitude of servanthood made the New Testament church unique. It is a necessary ingredient for any church and/or believer.

    Church Essentials: Part Six Servanthood - Philippians 2:4-9 We live in an egocentric age where the "what's in it for me" mentality has permeated every aspect of our society and sadly has infiltrated the lives of today's professed Christians.

    Follow The King

    Contributed by Brian Williams on Feb 17, 2025
     | 368 views

    When Christ is the cornerstone of the church and its foundation is the word of God in action, the church will grow and will weather the greatest storms.

    As we spoke about the word “fear” last week, it doesn’t connote running from God because of dread but running to God, clinging to Him, loving, and serving Him. The fear or reverence of the Lord is our response to His love, His majesty, holiness, as well as His wrath. This kind of fear is not ...read more

    Provoking Thoughts From 1 John (12 Of 16)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 10, 2022
     | 2,057 views

    We see many differences in God’s church today when we compare it to the New Testament church.

    For example, I am sure that if the apostle Paul could come back today and see the excellent buildings we worship in, he would marvel over them and see them as a big improvement compared to what they had worshipped in. But, as big a contrast as that might be, there is a greater difference he would ...read more

    To establish that no denomination; its beliefs; or its baptismal practices are from heaven; they have their origins from men. However so sincere they might have been, there can be no salvation in any man-made institutions or in their religious practices.
