    Making A Name For Ourselves

    Contributed by Mitch Davis on Jul 10, 2007
     | 5,404 views

    It is natural, when living in the flesh, for people to want to make a name for themselves. We want to “stand out” among our peers: academically, socially, behaviorally, athletically, etc. Christianity, however, teaches just the opposite.

    Making a Name for Ourselves Theme: Whose name are we trying to promote: ours, or God’s? INTRODUCTION A. It is natural, when living in the flesh, for people to want to make a name for themselves. 1. We want to “stand out” among our peers: academically, socially, behaviorally, athletically, etc. 2. ...read more

    The law could never justify, but instead brought condemnation.

    The Curse of the Law Galatians 3:10-18 July 11, 2007 Galatians 3:10 (NLT) But those who depend on the law to make them right with God are under his curse, for the Scriptures say, "Cursed is everyone who does not observe and obey all these commands that are written in God’s Book of the Law." ...read more

    A short Psalm, it somehow captures all the elements about worship and puts the worship of God in a different perspective than the usual.

    Nowhere in scripture will you find a better “model” for worship than Psalm 113. A short Psalm, it somehow captures all the elements about worship and puts the worship of God in a different perspective than the usual. A.

    This is the 10th study in the study "Hope In The Darkness". This study looks at being prepared when Jesus returns.

    LIVING IN PREPARATION 1 Peter 5:1-14 As we finish our study in 1 Peter we are encouraged to live our lives in preparation for the return of Jesus Christ. God has left us here for a reason.

    God's grace through Christ Jesus unto us all---some grafted in opened the door; it is our belief and strong convictions to the truth in the faith of Christ Jesus that keeps us.

    A Wise Use Of Time

    based on 7 ratings
     | 9,062 views

    Three negatives negated, and three positives endorsed. Redeeming the time. The Holy Spirit and the word of Christ. An exhortation to praise and thanksgiving.

    A WISE USE OF TIME. Ephesians 5:15-20. Despite popular opinion, the Christian “life” or Christian “walk” is not a style of living or a level of morality that we must first attain before we can ever be recognised as true Christians. On the contrary, the Christian “walk” or the Christian “life” ...read more

    What Exactly Is A "Layman?"

    Contributed by Mark H. Stevens Thd on Jan 24, 2014
     | 8,779 views

    The Church is very ineffective because it is Clergy Driven and not driven by ALL believers with a passion for souls!

    One problem I have found in the modern church is that we have made the church a CLERGY run entity. God meant the church to be driven by ALL of the saints. We are a body of BELIEVERS and BELIEVERS are supposed to CAST OUT DEVILS, PREACH THE GOSPEL, and LAY HANDS on the sick. (James 5:16 and Mark ...read more

    This short study attempts to explain what it means when we are told that God hardens Pharaoh's heart

    God explains the mission to Moses...you are going to go back to Egypt and do all these wonders and Pharaoh's heart is going to be hardened. By whom? By God. We may read that and it may make us feel a little uneasy. We may feel like that is not fair...God is predicting that He will harden ...read more

    The Trial Of Our Christian Faith

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Sep 10, 2015
    based on 2 ratings
     | 4,381 views

    When we talk to the genuinely curious, we show God’s love. We show that we want to be with God and want others to be with him. We will love the things and people that he loves. We will hate the things and people that he hates. We will love others.

    The reading we heard from John 5:30-47 a few minutes ago takes place during a “trial”, but it was not held in a courtroom. Jesus had just healed the paralyzed man at the pool of Bethsaida, and the healing took place on the Jewish Sabbath. The Jews had strict rules about what could and ...read more

    Teaching Through Healing

    based on 15 ratings
     | 6,723 views

    To be amazed is not the same as being converted.

    TEACHING THROUGH HEALING. Mark 1:21-28. As we re-read Mark’s Gospel - as we must, from time to time - we find it to be a Gospel of two halves. The first half tells of Jesus’ presentation to the people as an authoritative teacher (Mark 1:21-22), who also happened to use healing (or more ...read more
