    Chaos In Chaotic Times – This Is Our World Now Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 17, 2022
     | 2,729 views

    The minds of politicians generally, and of public/civil servants and advisors, are so scarred by God-rejection, and humanism, and demonic influence, that they are incapable of knowing the mind of God in decency, honesty and moral effectiveness in decision making. Chaos is here.

    CHAOS IN CHAOTIC TIMES – THIS IS OUR WORLD NOW There is a hymn that I hope is still sung despite all the inferior stuff that today passes as church music, and here is the first stanza – God, whose almighty word CHAOS and darkness heard, And took their flight: Hear us, we humbly pray, And where ...read more

    Worship And Justice

     | 1,363 views

    We deplore the loss of morality, the loss of civility, the loss of social stability - and yet how many of us recognize that those are only the deeper symptoms of a greater loss, the loss of our sense of accountability before God?

    Judah, the Hebrews’ southern kingdom, was big on denial. By 740 BC, when Isaiah began to preach, the brutal and ambitious kingdom of Assyria had amply demonstrated their intentions and abilities. They were bent on conquering Egypt, the prize of the Mediterranean, and had to conquer everything else ...read more

    Peach Of Peace Series

     | 5,544 views

    To most people peace is simply "the absence of strife." If there are no wars, we say the world is at peace; or if we aren’t fighting with our neighbors, we have neighborhood peace. But peace in the scriptures is far more than that.

    False Truths Series

    Just like the other pieces of trash we have dealt with over the past few weeks…like pride, strife, sexual immorality…we have to roll up our sleeves and get to work cleaning this mess up

    False Truths Proverbs 12:22 The LORD detests lying lips, but he delights in people who are trustworthy. Anybody in this room ever steal anything? If you have kids you know they are prone to steal…first they don’t even know that they are stealing… A REALLY DUMB THIEF Any thief knows that the ...read more

    Jacob’s family life is almost continual strife. As great Jacob became, he will see him transform before our eyes in the weeks to come. From a scheming manipulator to a humbled man, Jacob transforms by the grace of God.

    We continue our series, My Crazy Family, only it is the Tailgate edition. It gets even crazier today. Great things can come from broken families. Jacob is a complex character – he’s truly a piece of work. For much of his life, this much was true of Jacob – Jacob always put Jacob first in every area ...read more

    Happy Birthday, Church

    Penetcost is perhpas the most significant day on our calendars. The celebration of the birth of the Church is just as important as Christmas and Easter. So why do so many churches overlook it, in spite of celebrating other civil holidays?

    I love to study history. I enjoy memorizing dates. How many of you here this morning like history? Regardless, there are certain dates in history that we remember aren’t there? For example, if I say 1492 – we all know what happened in 1492. Columbus sailed the ocean blue. What about October ...read more

     | 5,932 views

    Humanity is the same as before and Jesus addressed the needs by responding to racism, bearing arms,socialism, infanticide, government relations and civil disobedience, and world religions. The scriptures make clear what attitudes He wants us to have.

     | 5,449 views

    We are not to dwell in our lives before Christ, but I is good to cognitively think about what our lives apart from Christ were. If we seriously consider it, then we will not so quickly be pulled back into such turmoil and strife.

    “Of Life Before Accepting Christ”Ephesians 2:1-3 A Life of Death… A Life of Sin… A Life of disobedience under God’s wrath… Donald Grey Barnhouse, led the son of a prominent American family to the Lord.

    Unity

    Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Oct 23, 2021
     | 7,025 views

    The unity of followers is one of the most important - and yet problematic - charisteristics of the disciples. Jesus prayed for it the last night he would be with his chosen disciples. Yet since then the church has been characterized in the eyes of the world as riddled with division and strife.

    Fire Of The Contentious

    Contributed by Terry Laughlin on Aug 27, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,317 views

    A contentious spirit is like fire which burns up all that is good, and puts families, friends and co-workers at odds. This spirit finds a small fire of strife, kindles it and keeps feeding the issues which cause distrust, hatred or malice.

    Fire Of the Contentious The Negative Influences of a Person Who Seeks Strife The King James Bible tells us “As coals are to burning coals, and wood to a fire; So is a contentious man to kindle strife.” (Proverbs 26:21) “Contentious” (?????? ma?ôn) means to be argumentative, a person who is ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,608 views

    Is distrust causing problems between you and other? You are not the first to have this problem. It almost caused a civil war after a great conquest had taken place. A closer look may help us to avoid a similiar situation.

    It's Ed Instead Almost a Tragedy Assumption and Presumption Joshua 22:1-34 vs. 34 34 And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad called the altar Ed: for it shall be a witness between us that the LORD is God. {Ed: that is, A witness} (KJV) 34 Y los hijos de Rubén y los hijos de Gad ...read more

    The Ministry Of Marriage

    Contributed by Rodney Fry on May 29, 2022
     | 2,238 views

    For thousands of years, the concept of marriage as a commitment between one man and woman has served as the foundation of home life and social order; but in the last few years, those foundations are being destroyed in the civil arena. This is disturbing, but not exactly new.

    The Ministry of Marriage Scripture: Romans 16:3–4 Greet Priscilla and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus. They risked their lives for me. Not only I but all the churches of the Gentiles are grateful to them (NIV). Introduction: For thousands of years, the concept of marriage as a ...read more

    The fourth reaction to Jesus’ claims comes from the religious and civil authorities. It paints a clear picture of men in every generation who reject or oppose Jesus. That’s because what Jesus says is tragic for all unbelievers.

    We have been studying the reactions of the people to Jesus’ claims for the past 3 studies. Tonight, we are going to look at a fourth reaction.

    James asks his readers where their continual desire to fight amongst themselves comes from. And his answer is surprising. Rather than point his finger at an outward cause of their strife, he tells them it is because of each of their individual selfishne
