     | 161 views

    The 21st century believer is bombarded on every side — temptations, anxieties, cultural pressures, distractions, spiritual deception, and the subtle erosion of biblical conviction. Into this battlefield Paul gives us a clear command to pray in the Spirit.

    Go! And Pray in the Spirit Introduction – Gripped by a Call to Battle Church, if there were ever a time when the people of God must awaken to the reality of spiritual warfare, it is now.

    Creation Series

    Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Jan 6, 2012
     | 13,804 views

    Through Genesis 1:1-5, we see the answers to: 1) Who Created What? (Genesis 1:1), 2) Where did God Create? (Genesis 1:2), 3) How did God Create? (Genesis 1:3), 4) Why did God Create? (Genesis 1:4), 5) When did God Create? (Genesis 1:5)

    The beginning of a meal, date, year, job or a life in general can be daunting, yet exciting time. For the beginning of Scripture, Luther said of this book, “There is nothing more beautiful than the Book of Genesis, nothing more useful,” and he regarded the opening verses as “certainly the ...read more

    Assurance Of Salvation

    Many people view Christianity as dry and lifeless. It doesn’t have to be that way it is a life changing experience and should be viewed with zest and exuberance because we have that assurance of Eternal Life.

    “Salvation and Assurance” Ephesians 2:1-9 There was a man named Thomas Johnson. During a week of meetings at his corps in St. Joseph, MO, he was the center of attention, laughing, smiling, joking, never a serious moment. After the final meeting given by the speaker, Major David Thomas, he gripped ...read more

    based on 54 ratings
     | 6,982 views

    Part 3 of 3 Many claim that the church is now Israel. After examining the scriptures, we cannot draw that conclusion without denying the accuracy of the Bible. This section looks at the promised and fulfilled inheritance of Israel.

    Israel Inherits Promises of Old (Part 3 of 3) For every curse against the sin of Israel, God follows it with a promise if they repent. It is frequently claimed that once Israel rejected Jesus as their Messiah that God cut Israel out of His plan. From this point of rejection, those who believe this ...read more

    Funeral sermon for Henry Allen, who had lingered in weakened condition for many months, and who had become distanced from everyone, particularly his family.

    7 Ways To Serve One Another Series

    Contributed by Jim Luthy on Dec 12, 2001
    based on 59 ratings
     | 23,581 views

    So how do we rightly relate to one another in our small groups? I have found there is no reason to "reinvent the wheel" in responding to this question. Dietrich Bonhoeffer, in his classic work, Life Together, explains 7 ways to serve your small group.

    Last week, I used an illustration to show that Jesus should be the center of our small group meetings. He is the real leader of the small group. He is alive. He comes to us in the person of the Holy Spirit. And he is Lord. But lying underneath this goal of our gathering is the reality that we ...read more

    based on 174 ratings
     | 12,831 views

    Why do we have so little impact on our world? Why are we so much like the world, and so un-like our heavenly Father? The second half of Philippians ch 1 challenges us to get our priorities right - the Gospel is all that matters!

    Introduction Imagine this. You’ve become a missionary. You’ve gone to a foreign country that hasn’t heard the Gospel. You try not to be a foreigner, you try and fit in with them. You take on their customs and habits. You wear their clothes, eat their food, learn their language. You love ...read more
