     | 6,667 views

    What is "church membership" all about? What does it mean? "Just who is a member?"

    SERIES: GENERAL TITLE : THOUGHTS ON CHURCH MEMBERSHIP SCRIPTURE: 1 CORINTHIANS 12:12FF INTRODUCTION: Most of us, for the most part, do not like to be alone all the time. We like being a part of something. Whether that is a group activity or being where other people are, we like being a part of ...read more

    Render to Caesar ...

    Luke 20:20-26 Paying Taxes to Caesar 20Keeping a close watch on him, they sent spies, who pretended to be honest. They hoped to catch Jesus in something he said so that they might hand him over to the power and authority of the governor. 21So the spies questioned him: "Teacher, we know that you ...read more

    Three Absolutes

    Contributed by Greg Aery on Nov 27, 2006
    based on 7 ratings
     | 5,922 views

    In a world of few absolutes, this sermon deals with the discovery of at least three.

    We live in a society of very few absolutes. For instance, there was a day when you could shake the hand of a man and be absolutely sure he would honor his word. In this present day we have men sign contracts and wonder if they will keep their word. However, I do want us to turn our attention to ...read more

    A look at the Wisdom of Solomon literature and a tie into Revelation with a promise that Christ has conquered death and payed the price for our sin.

    Wisdom of Solomon 1:12-15 and 2:23-24 I have to admit that the wisdom books are some of my favorite literature. I don’t know if our members have ever been introduced to the apocryphal/deuterocanoninical books, but if you’ve grown up in the Roman Catholic tradition, they are included in the Bibles ...read more

    What is keeping me from recalling my baptism daily in my life? What is keeping me from loving the Lord my God with all my heart, my soul, my mind, and my strength?

    Questions from the reformers. I want to start my message today with a verse of scripture. Luke 10:37 And he ( Jesus) answered, " YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND; AND YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF." I ...read more

    Leftist Factions Co-opt Rather Than Abolish Holidays

    For about the past two decades, those to the left side of the sociopolitical spectrum have made such a fuss over their hostility towards traditional American holidays and celebrations that the arising disputations have themselves become an anticipated aspect of the close of each year. It was ...read more

    The tussle over paying for contraception has raised our awareness of sin; it should also raise our awareness of the need to repent, confess sin and receive the forgiveness of God.

    Seventh Sunday in Course 2012 “Your Sins I Will Not Remember” There’s a story told about one of the members of our extended family, a man who was a smoker until his first heart attack, and about what he did on this Sunday before Lent. As the story goes, he bought a carton of cigarettes and smoked ...read more

    Contributed by Perry Greene on Oct 10, 2011
    based on 4 ratings

    God honors a humble spirit rather than a boastful one.

    A mild mannered young man came into a counselor’s office ready for a divorce. He complained that his bride was so bossy that she was driving him off the wall. He wanted things to change, immediately. The counselor told him that he needed to build his self-esteem and that this would take time. ...read more

    What The Bible Says About Homosexuality

    Contributed by John Gaston on Oct 1, 2012
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,629 views

    God's timeless revelation -- His Word -- does not change. We live in a day of situational ethics and relative truth. The world is hearing a false message about what God thinks about homosexuality. We must tell them "the whole counsel of God."

    WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS ABOUT HOMOSEXUALITY I. THE CLEAR BIBLICAL PATTERN FOR SEXUALITY Homosexuality is being here addressed because it is the subject of a lot of false teaching and mistruth about what the Bible has to say. You and I can't be pleasing to God if we're practicing sexual sin, that is, ...read more

    Do We Really Love Jesus?

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 13, 2013
     | 3,482 views

    Sometimes we get a wake-up call, like Peter did. Our culture is assailing Christianity. Will we wake up and take action--prayer, fasting and giving?

    Third Sunday of Easter 2013 “Do You Love Me?” There’s an old story about a farmer who had a mule to sell. When the buyer came around to see the mule, he tried several times to get the mule to pull his wagon. The mule would not move. The seller was walking off with his money ...read more

    Society is upside down like a spacecraft in the water, but the Holy Spirit has a way to right it.

    6th Sunday of Easter 2015 To Mom Some of you are old enough to remember the first American flights into earth orbit and toward moon landings, and you remember the first manned spacecraft.

    What The Bible Says About Homosexuality

    We must decide whether we will have the courage to stand by what the Bible says or to abandon it completely and live like the world. To compromise the Word is not an option. It either IS or IS NOT GOD"S WORD!

    God's Ways Are Not Our Ways

     | 9,034 views

    The centurion exhibited faith - he took Jesus at his word. Why do we Christians have such problems in doing the same?

    God’s ways are not our ways As I looked at our Gospel passage today, I was struck by one simply sentence 4 When they came to Jesus, they pleaded earnestly with him, “This man deserves to have you do this, 5 because he loves our nation and has built our synagogue.” The Jews ...read more
