    The Church And The Government: Whose Side Am I On? Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 4, 2021
     | 3,042 views

    You are citizens of two orders, two systems. This world with its necessary institutions, and the order of the kingdom of God with its necessary values. This is not because the two orders have equal authority, but because God is the ruler and owner of both.

Nonetheless, they are packed with keen wisdom from a seasoned pastor about how to live amidst life’s trials.

    Contributed by David Owens on Jun 7, 2021
     | 6,308 views

    The first subject that James addresses in his letter is how to face our trials. His suggestion is shocking: we should welcome our trials with joy. But his reason for the suggestion makes sense when you understand things from God's perspective.

    A. In Max Lucado’s book, In The Eye Of The Storm, he tells a story about a parakeet named Chippie. 1. Chippie the parakeet never saw it coming -one second he was peacefully perched in his cage, and the next he was sucked in, washed up and blown over. 2.

    Every person who has not experienced conversion is under the power and sway of Satan. Jesus owns Christians; Satan doesn’t own Christians. Satan cannot own the body and mind of a Christian, but he can influence you.

    We believe life begins in the womb at conception. It is the only place in the universe where there is a new strand of DNA out of nowhere that is not the mother and is not the father.

    Today, I want to talk about the sanctity of human life and specifically abortion. This morning I want you to join me in a celebration of life. There is a widespread divide regarding the issue of abortion … people are not indifferent regarding this contested issue. Even now, bring the very word up ...read more

    The story of what happened in the Garden of Eden is important – powerfully important. And I want to make you aware at the outset, that this is not just the story of the wrongdoings of two people. No, it’s the story of how the first two people’s wrongdoing affects you and me.

    We’re doing a series on God’s Big Story where we are tracing the central storyline of the Bible. The Bible isn’t a mass of unconnected stories. Instead, it is one story.

    Jesus' Meal With Matthew Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 12, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,364 views

    If the gospel is only successful among one stratum of society, it loses its punch. But if the gospel assembles people from both sides of the track (rich and poor), there is an intrigue to the gospel.

    Jesus kept the wrong company. In the later decades of the nineteenth century, Hell’s Half-Acre was known as the red-light district of Fort Worth. While the area was cleared in the 1960s for the Tarrant County Convention Center, it was, as the name suggests, a rough and rowdy district. In the ...read more

    Reflections

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Oct 25, 2020
     | 6,364 views

    We can have a tendency to focus a lot on our image. Whether it's how we look, how we come across or how we're perceived. And to some degree we should it seriously but we can focus too much on our physical image and not enough on our spiritual image.

    REFLECTIONS We can have a tendency to focus a lot on our image. Whether it's how we look, how we come across or how we're perceived by others, our image is something we take seriously. And in part, that's a good thing. We should be concerned with how we come across and that people ...read more

    "from Every Nation"- The Bible And Race- Pt.3 Series

    Contributed by Robert Walderman on Oct 25, 2020
     | 2,297 views

    Today, as I close out this series, I want us to consider the question: “So with the abundance of such teaching in the Scriptures denouncing racism, why has racism been such a problem for so long?”

    Over the past two weeks we have looked at the Bible and what it teaches about race and race relations. We have seen how everyone bears the image of God and should be respected as an image bearer. We have seen how we are all descendants of Adam and Eve and therefore we are all “family” being part of ...read more
