    The Weapon God Supplies Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Nov 8, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,484 views

    The words of the Word are the sword God has given to each Christian to defend the territory assigned. We must learn the Word and employ the Word, if we will successfully resist the evil one.

    “Take … the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.” God’s Word is the sole weapon provided to His people to enable them to fulfil His charge to stand firm on the ground that He won through sacrifice. Whenever we think of the Bible, we seldom think of it in militaristic terms. However, ...read more

    based on 18 ratings
     | 5,872 views

    Jesus said “No one comes to the Father except by me.” It is clear then that not all religions are equal; that not all religions are true; and that not all religions lead us to God. Those that reject Christ lead us away from him.

    In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to you, Lord, my rock and my redeemer. Amen. (Psalm 19:14) In our pluralistic society today, we often hear people say that what someone believes in isn’t as ...read more

    In our pride, we hesitate to take a donkey as a role model, but the donkey of Palm Sabbath has something to show us. That donkey was literally Christopher--"Christ-bearer."

    Donkey Matthew 21:1-11 3/20/2005 2348 words 1 When they had come near Jerusalem and had reached Bethphage, at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples, 2 saying to them, "Go into the village ahead of you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her; untie them and bring ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 9,214 views

    In this series we are looking at the 5 Solas of the Protestant Reformation. This message is based on the 5th Sola. Everything we do is for the glory of God and God alone. This is where we find our purpose in life.

    “Who will get the Credit?” Romans 11:33-36 It has been said that history repeats itself. Now I believe that to a point but I think that it is more accurate to say that people repeat the same mistakes in the same choices and the same decisions others have made before them and that’s why history ...read more

    Strait And Narrow Minded

    The narrow gate is not quite as attractive as the wide one, because you have to leave a lot of old baggage at the door. No carry-ons are allowed.

    I was a pastor in New Jersey when the General Assembly gave our Presbytery a couple of pretty controversial amendments to consider. There were two main issues. The first was the elimination of the “fidelity and chastity” language from our ordination standards. The second one was the lordship of ...read more
