    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jul 30, 2014
     | 5,858 views

    "for Thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory forever. Amen!" Whoa! We know this is true but why is it in some Bibles and not others? Are there some Bibles that are better than others? Were errors made? Should we fight over them? Lord please help us!

    Over the last five weeks we have been taking a look at The Lord’s Prayer and today we come to the end of verse 13 which says … Matthew 6:13 “For Thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.” That is a grand statement! I love getting to that part of the ...read more

    These verses could be considered a summary of the core expectations of supernatural living. If we love the way Christ loves us we should be willing to love others. If we have experienced God's grace we are able to, and should want to, pass it on to other

    ROMANS 12: 14-21 [CHRISTIAN RELATING SERIES] THE RESPONSE OF GRACE [Luke 6:27-33] [Last week we learned that God calls us to supernatural living which is having our outer life transformed by the inner life being conformed to Christ-likeness.

    Jesus Is Invited By A Pharisee Series

     | 4,899 views

    When you invite others to experience Jesus, we demonstrate our submission to Christ. How? Because when we invite others by telling them what Christ has done for us, we demonstrate to them Who it is that has changed our life.

    Jesus is invited by a Pharisee Luke 7:36-50 Invitations, Part 5 Introduction - On the heels of our Advent study, we continue with our Invitations series - It is important that you and I understand the power of an invitation -- Whether it’s an invitation to a ballgame, to a BBQ, or even ...read more

    What do you want? That is a question life asks of us and the question God asked Solomon in IKings 3:5. Solomon answered wisely. On the other hand, Cain, Balaam, the Rich Young Ruler, Judas, and others in the Bible chose a course that led to destruction.

     | 19,381 views

    All of us do it. We compare ourselves to others and by doing so we expose ourselves to one of two things----pride or low self esteem. neither is healthy. Paul teaches us in this passage to keep our eyes on the prize not on other people.

    THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS “The Comparison Trap” Philippians 3:12-4:1 One of my heroes in the NT is the apostle Paul. If anyone had the right to brag, it would be him. Think about it... • Jesus appeared to Paul when he was traveling on the road to Damascus. They had a conversation and then Paul was ...read more

    What kind of life do we lead when we put ourselves first, and others last? What kind of world encourages us to tread all over others and always be first? What would Jesus say about the first and last in society?

    Prelude, Purpose, Plan What kind of life do we lead when we put ourselves first, and others last? What kind of world encourages us to tread all over others and always be first?

    There are lots of bad role models in this world . But Jesus called us to be role models of His way of life for others. So, how do I become the kind of role model he wants me to be and how can I make a difference in the lives of others?

    When God tells you to go and work in His vineyard, He is telling you less of self more of God’s needs. He is telling you get out of your comfort zone, go and reach out to others, go and minister to others.

    In Matthew 21:28-31, Jesus told an interesting parable on Christian service and the kind of attitude to service that pleases Him. A father approached two of his sons and told each son to go and work today in the vineyard. In other words, go and occupy for me in my vineyard. Same assignment, same ...read more

    In the book of Galatians Paul does everything he can to establish that any other Gospel other than faith in Christ is no gospel at all. In so many areas of life we have many good options. When it comes to the gospel there is only one way.

    When You Hit A Wall, Look For A Door

     | 6,618 views

    As we grow older we will face walls, walls that old age all by its self produces. Some may be walls that we may have thought that were only for other people, like the wall of “Old Age.” Old Age is for others and not me.

    “When You Hit a Wall, Look For A Door” Gen 18:11-14 11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age; and it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women. 12 Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also? 13 And ...read more

    A sermon written for the Church that meets at Market Street a Community of senior citizens. Discussing the fruits of the Spirit. Patience may be the most difficult fruit to bear and yet if the Christian is patient with others as God is with us we can help hold the door of salvation open to others.

    The Power Of Community Series

    Contributed by Brian Williams on Jul 28, 2025
     | 307 views

    In community we share our joys so others can rejoice with us, and we share our burdens and sorrows with others because God didn’t create us to do life alone (1 Cor 12:26; Gal 6:2).

    I just read a headline in Deutsche Welle news which read “Germany sees uptick in people living alone.” Single-person households are already the most common household type in Germany, making up over 40% of the total. Loneliness is most common among those under 30. But this trend isn’t unique to ...read more

     | 2,594 views

    Spiritual self-awareness as a believer in Jesus means living in tune with God. It does not mean seeing others with eyes, listening to others with ears, and then responding with a judgmental attitude based on what we see and hear. None of us are as righteous as we think we are.

    WHICH ONE AM I? LUKE 18:9-14 #SpiritualPride INTRODUCTION I was reading and listening in the Gospel of Luke the other week and a parable of Jesus smacked me right in the heart. I am going to share the parable with you today and see if it smacks you as well. The passage comes right after a ...read more

    "examine Yourself Before You Take The Lord's Supper"

    Contributed by Barnabas Park on Jan 17, 2021
     | 4,815 views

    As we take the Lord's supper we are called to examine ourselves, not others. We also need not only examine our sins but also repent from sins and forgive others as we remember His grace that forgives us our sins.

    "Examine Yourself before You Take the Lord's Supper" 1 Corinthians 11:23-29 "For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, 24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, "This is my body, which ...read more
