    Four-Part Harmony Series

    Contributed by Troy Borst on Feb 10, 2016
     | 8,601 views

    The Apostle Peter commands us to “live in harmony” with the people around us which means we are sympathetic, loving, compassionate, and humble when we want to be and especially when we don’t want to be and the people we deal with don’t deserve it.

    FOUR-PART HARMONY 1 PETER 3:8-17 INTRODUCTION The passage that we are going to read today has at minimum about 10 different sermons in it. This morning I am going to preach all ten sermons to you so get comfortable! I locked the doors and ordered in lunch. The passage is rich with meaning ...read more

    The Power To Meet Needs

    Contributed by Leonard Davis on Mar 4, 2016
     | 9,627 views

    People may genuinely want to help others and because God is left out, they set out to do it in their own strength. It doesn’t take long when dealing with material wealth and/or material resources that limitations are soon reached.

    THE POWER TO MEET NEEDS John 6:5-11, 26-31, 47-51 You’ve heard of having too much month at the end of the money. Our resources can run out before all the needs are met. For a lot of people this is an ongoing experience. They are like the person described in the song Sixteen Tons – ...read more

    Contributed by Alexander Shaw on Oct 9, 2015
     | 4,498 views

    Jesus would have us exercise loving non-judgmental leadership and bless those around us.

    As A Leader Are Your Eyes Clear And Wide Open? In Luke Chapter 6 at verse 37 Jesus had been speaking quite briefly, and simply, but obvious and challengingly, about giving. Last week’s piece dealt with that one verse. You can almost imagine these disciples sitting there listening in ...read more

    Thanksgiving is a time when we pause to celebrate and give thanks to God for everything he has given us, and the best way to give thanks to God is to pray.

    Thanksgiving was approaching, and a family had received a Thanksgiving card with a painting of a Pilgrim family on their way to church. Grandma showed the card to her small grandchildren and observed, “The Pilgrim children liked to go to church with their mothers and ...read more

    Answer Ten: Don't Judge Or Compare Ministers Series

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jul 21, 2015
     | 5,524 views

    Some in the Corinthian church were judging the gifts of believers and preachers. This answer takes off from Paul’s ninth answer about letting God be the judge of ministers.

    Some in the Corinthian church had made the mistake of judging, boasting, and priding themselves in their superior gifts and achievements. They were judging the gifts of believers and preachers. They were usurping the authority of God alone to gift and to judge men. In reality, they were nothing ...read more

    Joseph practiced forgiveness as a means of breaking bad blood between he and his brothers.

    Walter White’s story is told in the AMC series entitled Breaking Bad, and begins with Walter standing in the middle of the New Mexico desert without his pants on. It’s quite dramatic, and the viewer is wondering how in the world he got there. The next scene flashes back to three ...read more

    Dos And Don'ts Of Salvation

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Mar 22, 2021
     | 3,084 views

    A defibrillator can’t save someone while it’s in its cabinet. It has to be taken down and operated. In the same way, Jesus’ death and resurrection don’t save a person unless a person makes use of them. A person has to respond to them. There are some 'dos' and 'don'ts'.

    In recent years something new has appeared on many high streets: defibrillators. Defibrillators can be life-savers if someone suffers a heart attack. They aren’t only on high streets, of course. I like to do ‘Park Run’ (when it’s happening!) and lots of Park Runs have defibrillators. You often ...read more

    Whether it is serving someone in dire straights or simply serving others as we have opportunity - servitude is the mindset of the Christian life.

    Building Up One Another Serve One Another Galatians 5:13 Introduction John Wesley wrote, “One of the principal rules of religion is, to lose no occasion of serving God.

    Again Paul writes in, Ephesians 4:2TPT With tender humility and quiet patience, always demonstrate gentleness and generous love toward one another, especially toward those who may try your patience.

    The Human Chameleon. Ephesians 4:1-3, 14-16 In a world of smart phones, text messages, Facebook, and e-dating, many are creating virtual relationships which mask a person’s true identity in an attempt to protect themselves from the reality of real relationship.

    Glow 7– Rock And Role Ministry Series

    Contributed by Joseph Rodgers on Apr 10, 2019
     | 6,459 views

    Why do people get upset over the mention of the name Jesus or Christian? The reason is found in our text today. Peter explains that for some people Jesus is a stepping stone and to others He is a stumbling stone.
