     | 3,552 views

    Salt was scarce in the Near East in Jesus' day. It symbolized the bonds of friendship, peace and love between people. It is another example of the great commandment that Jesus gave us to love one another.

    Contributed by Matthew Tarkington on May 11, 2022
     | 2,260 views

    "Do not fear" is one of the most common commands in the Bible. Why? Because it's the greatest tool of the enemy to steal you from your identity and your authority.

    Express Kindness

    Contributed by Chris Cuthbertson on Jun 7, 2024
     | 1,240 views

    Not every act of kindness pays ; it doesn’t always turn out to be profitable. In fact, often times kindness costs us something. But it is fulfilling, it is commanded, and it’s an important attribute of love.

    June 5th 2016 Seaford Christian Church (Homecoming) Express Kindness Luke 8: 40 – 56 I heard about a woman who had just cashed her income tax return check, and as she was standing at a bus stop a man went over to a poorly dressed man, whispered something in his ear, and handed him some money.

    Luke 4:31-41 - What Authority Really Looks Like

    Contributed by Carl Willis on Apr 12, 2024
     | 1,207 views

    The authority of Jesus teaching caused the demons to reveal themselves in protest. The authority of Jesus' command causes sickness to immediately cease. How does that same authority operate in the lives of believers today?

    Today we're going to deal with two topics that can be somewhat controversial within the church: the demonic and healing. We're going to dive into the Word of God, lay some proper foundation today, and let's pray first because that's where we need to go. Father, we come before You. ...read more

     | 240 views

    This sermon exposes the vanity of human boasting and the futility of satanic pronouncements when God has not commanded them. It reminds believers that God’s Word alone stands supreme above all voices.

    Showing kindness to others is not only God’s command, but it also is the character of God. Perform acts of kindness toward strangers who cannot repay you and do it in Jesus’ name instead of your own.

    Israel was commanded to pile 12 stones after they crossed over Jordan as a memorial to God’s deliverance. What kind of rocks are we piling up as a memorial for future generations should Jesus tarry?
