    Biblical Eldership: The Government Of God

    Contributed by Ed Warfield on Mar 4, 2008
    based on 7 ratings
     | 4,619 views

    A properly functioning eldership provides plurality in leadership, unity of purpose and a system of checks & balances. Biblical eldership is kingdom government & ultimately it’s about understanding & becoming the person God wants each of us to be.

    Biblical Eldership: The Government of God Intro.: It’s not always easy to be objective about the structure and government of the New Testament Church. We are influenced by the teaching we’ve had. So it’s often difficult to approach the subject with an open mind. But, we need to seriously examine ...read more

    Why Do We Fear Series

    Contributed by Kevin Ruffcorn on Jan 4, 2010
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,626 views

    With Jesus in our boat, we have no need to fear. God’s presence and power in our lives stills our storms and calms our fears.

    Matthew 8:23-27 “Why Do We Fear?” INTRODUCTION You probably know this already, but our crystal balls don’t work very well. A year ago who would have thought that we wouldn’t feel any more secure flying than we did in the days after 9/11? Who would have foreseen that we’d be pouring troops ...read more

    It's All About Me Series

     | 10,056 views

    We live in a "me centered" world and that creeps into the church and I try to make spiritual things about what I want.

    Allow me to begin with a little test. (I did an illusion called "What Next" where the dots on a card change and the audience is fooled.) Isn't it true that our eyes play tricks on us and we can be easily deceived? Here are some Bible passages that warn us of this. 2 Corinthians 11:2-4 2I am ...read more

    Mockery Spirit!

    Contributed by Bala Samson on Jun 7, 2014
     | 6,857 views

    God abhors mockery! Behind the mocking spirit is the devil! Do not give in to the instigations of the devil and mock at each other.

    Mockery! Genesis 21:9 “And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had born unto Abraham, mocking.” Loss of civility and a sense of decorum and decency was what all of us witnessed in India during the recent election campaign, where the politicians went about wagging ...read more

    The Incredibly Destructive Emotion Of Self Pity

    Contributed by Peter Pilt on Apr 30, 2019
     | 4,514 views

    Self Pity is one of the most destructive and yet most prevalent emotions that people struggle with.

    Self Pity is one of the most destructive and yet most prevalent emotions that I encounter in life as a Pastor talking to people. In the bible Elijah had a bout of Self Pity and ultimately it was this that took him out of leadership 1 Kings 19:14-16 14 And he said, “I have been very zealous for ...read more

    Moving In The Opposite Spirit— 6th Sunday In Ordinary Time

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jan 27, 2019
     | 4,632 views

    A “Manual” for Escaping Our Vicious Cycles through non-violence is what the Sermon on the Mount has been called; to transform the adversary - and, in the process, to be transformed ourselves.

    1). Mary Lou Kownacki relates the following tale: It seems that in a certain village a snake had bitten so many people that few dared to go into the fields. Finally, it was taken to a wise person who tamed the snake and persuaded it to practice the discipline of nonviolence. When the villagers ...read more

    "Full Of Use"

    Contributed by Gerald Roberts on Sep 1, 2016
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,249 views

    The word Onesimus means "useful" and that is what we become when we are repaired, when we forgive, when we do not give up, and when we encounter the Gospel.

    “Full of Use” Philemon vs 11 1. Duct tape is “full of use” consider the not so obvious uses of duct tape. • In case your car overheats, and a hose is busted, duct tape is a temporary form of repair. • Repair cracked windshield/window. • For emergency ...read more

    The Parable Of The Mom And Two Children

    Contributed by Nickolas Kooi on Sep 13, 2017
    based on 1 rating
     | 9,047 views

    The Parable of the Two Sons retold in a modern way for children. This is set up as a play, but can easily be told as a story or sermon illustration. The modern context helps create a gateway for children to see themselves in the story.

    The Parable of the Mom and Two Children Narrator: There once was a Mom who had two children (The mom walks out and waves to people). Narrator: Her oldest daughter, Emily, loves sports (The reader pauses and lets Emily walk out. They wait five seconds. She walks out and waves to the ...read more

    The Water And The Temple Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 2,625 views

    Those are the healing waters that can always save those who are soaked with them, precisely because this sacrament is the visible sign of the power of Christ, who is the real minister of every baptism.

    Tuesday of the 4th week of Lent 2020 Water I always recommend to those who can make pilgrimage that they take a week or more with a Christian guide in the Holy Land–Israel and Jordan–so that they can understand the people and places we read about in the Sacred Scriptures. The Christians living in ...read more

    Prayer, Politics, Isaiah And Hezekiah Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 14, 2020
     | 1,236 views

    God took those pottery shards and put together, in the end, a beautiful mosaic, our Gospel tells us, of Joseph, Mary and Jesus.

    December 17 of the 3rd Week in Advent 2020 Today’s Gospel makes no sense unless we know something about the history of God’s relationship with the chosen people, Israel. Genealogies in Scripture always mean more than we modern Americans understand. They always point in some way to the Lord, and ...read more

    Turn Away From False Alliances And Rely Only On The True God Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jun 20, 2020
     | 1,828 views

    God subjected Himself in the person of Jesus Christ, the God-man, to ridicule and torture and death, so that after rising from the dead, He could form a people.

    Tuesday of the Twelfth Week in Course 2020 If a far-seeing leader in the Middle East back in the centuries before Christ had wanted to found a city or territory for his people, he would have chosen a place with natural defenses, like the island of Tyre in the Lebanon area. Tyre survived as a ...read more

    The Gestures Of Worship Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 23, 2011
     | 2,760 views

    Profound bows, joining of hands for prayer, and striking our breast are all important adjuncts to our worship.

    Feast of St. James July 25, 2011 Spirit of the Liturgy Some of the apostles have paired feasts–Ss. Peter and Paul, Simon and Jude, Philip and James the Lesser. We would expect James and John, blood brothers, to be treated in this way, but they each have their own festival day. I think that ...read more

    Shall We Have Justice For The Elect?

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 14, 2022
     | 694 views

    If even a corrupt judge will wither under incessant pleading, can we not expect the most just of judges, God, will give us what we really need?

    29th Sunday in Course 2022 We should all remember the story of the Israelites wandering in the desert around Sinai for forty years. That was God’s way of purifying them before bringing them to the land of promise, Canaan. As they moved around, they ran into various other nomadic tribes, and one of ...read more
