    The Battles Chosen Series

    Contributed by Bob Marcaurelle on Mar 3, 2016
     | 4,430 views

    Message four in this exposition of First Timothy describes the gnostic error in the early church that was distorting the New Testament faith. Preaching against them our purposes are to purify the faith and to lead false teachers to Christ

    Message 4 THE BATTLES CHOSEN B. The Faith Protected “Command certain men not to teach false doctrines any longer.” (1:3) “Fight the good fight, holding on to faith”(18,19). Paul uses strong words. He doesn’t tell Timothy to suggest that false teachers stop, ...read more

    The bible speaks often about the heart. It is more than the blood-pump in our chests, it is all-encompassing to our lives. This lesson looks at some if the ways "heart" is used in scripture.

    1. Last week we spoke of the relationship of our actions and our hearts -- our actions show our hearts 2. The Bible has much to say about the heart a. Can be deceitful (Jeremiah 17.9) b. To be used fully for God -- Deuteronomy 6.4-9 c. Impacts our appearance A merry heart makes a cheerful ...read more

    Living The Blessed Life.

    Psalm 1 does not teach the duty of obedience so much as it invokes affection for the Torah. In Psalm 1, the righteous are not those who obey the Torah, but are those who delight in the Torah.

    Living the Blessed Life. Psalm 1:1-6NKJV The desert is abundant with life, but there is a stark contrast between plants that are near water and plants that are in the drier parts of the landscape. Those plants near the water display abundant growth. Those plants that are near the water display ...read more

    Today’s text presents us with two touchy topics----- lust and divorce. All one has to do is look at the news, newspapers, and internet news outlets and see that there is fodder for discussion about these topics everywhere.

     | 4,182 views

    Praise is the right thing to do for all who experienced the grace of God in any measure. Isaiah says, In that day, the whole company of God’s redeemed people will celebrate God with songs of praise. The present trials will end and all will rejoice in the coming Messiah!

    Sermon: Get Ready To Sing Again! Scripture: Isaiah 12:1-6 “In that day you will sing: “I will praise you, O Lord! You were angry with me, but not anymore. Now you comfort me.

    The Gift Of Amnesia.

    Contributed by Howard Strickland on Mar 4, 2022
     | 1,417 views

    God’s word shows us the worse of humanity, but it also shows us His redeemed. It gives us a picture of Eden. It also shows us a picture of hell. And then, after the fall of Adam. God’s word shows us the—Abraham’s, Noah’s, Moses’, Esther’s, Ruth’s, Daniel’s, Elijah’s, Etc.

    The Gift Of Amnesia. James 1:22-25AMP Amnesia could be a gift to those who would like to forget the last 5 or 10 years, maybe even the last day or two. Only bad thing about that is, you might just do it all again. Lol. For every believer, Amnesia isn’t a gift at ...read more

    There is so much we can learn from the story of Ruth.

    “Now it came to pass, in the days when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehem, Judah, went to dwell in the country of Moab, he and his wife and his two sons.” Ruth 1:3-4. The name Bethlehem means, “House of Bread.” But because of the famine, there was ...read more

    Fathers, Be Careful

    Contributed by David Nolte on Jun 21, 2021
     | 1,924 views

    The responsibility of fatherhood demands that we be careful

    There is a world of difference between being careful and being full of care. Being careful is being responsible, alert, prudent and watchful. It positively says, “Why worry when you can pray?” Being full of care is being anxious, fretful, worried, and restless in the mind and spirit. It ...read more

    This passage which we have taken for our contemplation has many life values to learn. But let me share with you three practical life lessons.

    Theme: One Dies for all Text: John 11:45-57 Greetings; The Lord is Good and his love endures forever. Joke: “A frog had fallen in love with human girls. No human girl touched him.

    Conflict between the monarchs and the spiritual leaders was a time-old problem. The spiritual could be arrested for condemning the political leaders, and systems. Politicians saw the religious leaders as a threat to their survival and existence.

    King Saul started well, but ultimately shipwrecked his faith. God's Word is given to us so that we may learn and avoid the pitfalls of the enemy.

    Slipping by Degrees Text: 1 Samuel 13:5-14, 1 Samuel 15:1-35 OPEN WITH PRAYER AND THANKSGIVING One of the saddest things to see, at least to me, is someone who - by all appearances seemed to be a Christian, fall into sin and apostasy. Not let me make that clear… I said, someone who “seemed” to ...read more

    A Confrontation About Resurrection Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jun 20, 2018
     | 5,554 views

    The Sadducees came to Jesus with a question regarding resurrection. This is quite interesting since they did not believe in resurrection. His response revealed much about God's provision for us and life after death for the saved.

    A Confrontation about Resurrection Mark 12: 18-27 Those who embrace Jesus as the Christ, having received Him as Lord and Savior, all agree on an essential element of His existence – His glorious resurrection. Had He not risen from the grave, He would have been like all who came before Him. We ...read more

    A study in the book of Psalms 14: 1 - 7

    Psalm 14: 1 – 7 So, how good are you? 1 The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none who does good. 2 The LORD looks down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there are any who understand, who seek God. 3 They have ...read more

    The Debate About Divorce (Part 2) Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Feb 28, 2018
     | 3,718 views

    Jesus was asked of the Pharisees regarding divorce, not necessarily desiring to learn from Him. Unfortunately most approach the issue this way today. Their minds are already made up. We need a biblical perspective.

    The Debate about Divorce (Part 2) Mark 10: 1-12 Today I hope to conclude the passage we began to consider in our last study. I am well aware that this is a very sensitive and somewhat contentious issue. Likely everyone here has been affected by divorce in some way or another. I too know the hurt ...read more
