The Work In Berea Series

Contributed by John Lowe on May 1, 2017

Paul believed that the Jews had first claim to the Gospel, for Jesus was first and foremost their Messiah. He had been born a Jew and had come to fulfill the Jewish Scriptures. So, no matter how bitterly Paul might be persecuted by the unbelieving Jews

What Do I Get Out Of It???

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Sep 5, 2017

The phrase "What do I get out of it" seems to embody the reason for church attendance for many people who claim Christianity as their faith today. Is the body of Christ, the church, supposed to be a vehicle to make me happy for my own sake?

Please open your Bibles to Romans 12:3-8 which we will read in a few minutes. Why on earth would anyone want to join a church? You don’t need to officially join a church to be saved and joining a church doesn’t save you. So, what’s the big deal? With that in mind let’s go ahead and read: Romans ...read more

Creating A Refuge Series

Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Jan 7, 2022

Claiming new spiritual territory is difficult. All who seek to follow Jesus in faithful obedience while walking in hostile territory need a place of refuge. It’s up to the body of Christ to create that safe haven for both ourselves and others.

Conquering the land, or claiming new spiritual territory, involves grueling spiritual labor. We will encounter resistance, or even minor persecution, when sharing the message of salvation in Jesus Christ; and we can grow weary if we do not have times of refreshing. We’ve got to find a safe haven ...read more

All Things Work Together For Good

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Feb 14, 2022

This promise is for believers in Jesus Christ. In effect, Paul says that if you don’t LOVE God, you can’t claim this promise. If you don’t LOVE God, everything isn’t someday going to work out for “Good”.

Alba 2-13-2022 ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD Romans 8:28 In Robert J. Morgan’s book, The Promise, he tells the story of John Peterson.

Christianity And Other Religions: Many Roads Or Exclusive Path?

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on May 3, 2021

A common objection to exclusive faith in Jesus Christ is "What about other religions?" How can Christians claim to have the exclusive truth when there are so many other religions? It's a very important question.

The Flesh Is Willing

Contributed by G W Bill Elliott Jr on Nov 21, 2019

Wait… the title of this story is “The Flesh is Willing”, yet this scripture claims it is weak… and it was Jesus who actually said it… so, that must be right! See… the flesh is very willing to do things, to get involved, to perform or get into action… to a fault.

Matthew 26:41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

Be A Forerunner!

Contributed by Neal Gracey on Nov 22, 2022

Why do many believers who claim to have faith in Jesus Christ lack the confidence to trust Him? What is your role to play in this life here on earth? Are you living up to what God has called you to do?

The Perfect Promise

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 6, 2021

Jesus promised forgiveness in general to all who had a part in His crucifixion, but to the dying thief next to Him He made a very personal and precise promise that can be claimed by all who will, like this thief, turn to Jesus in faith.

Jonathan Swift made the well known statement, "Promises and pie crust are made to be broken." This attitude has prevailed through much of history, and the result has been that many have been rich in promises, but poor in performance. Many centuries ago Ovid suggested that men ought to ...read more

Cold Christianity

Contributed by John Daniel Johnson on Aug 18, 2019

I believe that today there are so many people who claim the name of Christianity who are so accustomed to the coldness of their faith, they have become relaxed in it. This morning, I want us to examine the effects of staying too long in “Cold Christianity.”

Seek God's Preservation In All Things Series

Contributed by Bruce Landry on Nov 16, 2002

We will walk and see Israel in need of preservation in two areas this week. Area one was a lack of water, imagine that in an arid region as the Middle East. The second is in battle, let us see the directions that we can claim for our lives through this.

Get A Life Series

Contributed by Brad Dyrness on May 3, 2002

People know about God, listen to people talk about God, and even claim to be Christian. Yet many still feel far from God. A relationship with God is like drinking coffee. How do we move from doing to being?

Sermon for Pentecost Sunday, intended as the first of three on the Trinity, all based on John 14. The Holy Spirit does not abandon His church, but if we are not obedient before claiming His support, we may forfeit His power. And if we do not acknowledge

If you believe you’ve been abandoned, you have two choices: either you can indulge in something that may soothe you temporarily, or you can watch for the power that will lead you out to success. If someone that matters to you has walked off and abandoned you, you can either pretend ...read more

Tc2fc

Contributed by Guy Glass on Aug 20, 2004

TC2FC -- What looks at first glance like a chemical formula, is in reality a simple truth, recorded in simple fashion – “To Claim This Community For Christ”. I believe that the fall of the city of Jericho gives us valuable insight regarding this truth.
