    Contributed by Jerry Rittenhouse on Mar 5, 2019
     | 5,036 views

    Opponent #2 is harder than our first fight. Our first attempt to FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH was with People and their Problems. But today, our second opponent is the fight we have with SELF. This is a harder match.

    Exam Time Series

     | 5,097 views

    In Paul’s day the early church met in homes and had a meal (agape feasts) that was followed by the Lord’s Supper. One of the many problems in the church was the abuse of this event. Paul had a word of rebuke for them.

    EXAM TIME I CORINTHIANS 11: 17-28 INTRODUCTION: Exam time can be pretty intense. As we prepare for that moment we can get pretty anxious. This passage concerns the observance of the Lord’s Supper. A key verse is “v.28”. In Paul’s day the early church met in homes and had a meal (agape ...read more

    Judge Not, But Discern Wisely Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Dec 15, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,025 views

    Jesus warned about the problems associated with criticizing others, and of the need to do some spiritual self-examination before passing judgement. He then said that we need to use discernment when dealing with some people.

    This morning, we are going to look at the problem of judging others. The definition for the word “judge” that applies to our passage means, “to form a judgment or opinion” and to “decide upon critically.”(1) The key word here is “critically,” for when we judge others we are often being “critical” ...read more

    Live In Harmony

    Last week, in the first part of First Corinthians chapter one, we saw that Paul was thankful for how God's grace was making a difference in the lives of the Christians at Corinth. Yet, it was a church full of problems.

    Alba 1-19-2025 LIVE IN HARMONY I Corinthians 1:10-17 Today's message is Live In Harmony. Here is something that was in Readers Digest. This person said, “To save money, I suggested to one of my grown sons that we all live together in one house. I could tell he didn’t think it would be ...read more

    Correcting Our Double Vision Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Oct 13, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,886 views

    This message addresses the problem of spiritual double vision; being focused on the things of God and the things of the world simultaneously. Jesus talks about treasure in heaven or earth; being full or light or darkness; and pursuing God or money.

    I have entitled our message this morning, “Correcting Our Double Vision.” Double vision, according to Yale Medicine, is understood as being when someone sees two of the “same” image instead of one.(1) But today, I want us to think of double vision as seeing two “separate” images at the same time. ...read more

    The False Prophet Balaam: When Opportunity Knocked, He Answered Series

     | 632 views

    The king of Moab had a problem: Israel was near his territory. He called on Balaam to come and curse Israel. This king gave Balaam what might be considered the opportunity of a lifetime. How did Balaam respond?

    (Edited from and based on a message preached Sunday evening, 2-16-25 at New Hope Baptist Church of Fulton, MO; this is not an exact transcription.) Introduction: The story of Balaam is, or at least used to be, one of the saddest in the entire Bible. It seems he knew the One True God and could ...read more

    25 The Book Of Galatians – Chapter 6:6 - Message 25 – Should Any Or All Pastors Be Paid? A Look At Payment Of People In Christian Ministry And Sharing Good Things Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Apr 4, 2025
     | 421 views

    We examine the tricky problem of church finances and what is paid to pastors and church workers. Who are those who genuinely do the work of the Lord? I quote from an excellent sermon on gospel support as well.

    25 THE BOOK OF GALATIANS – CHAPTER 6:6 - Message 25 – SHOULD ANY OR ALL PASTORS BE PAID? A LOOK AT PAYMENT OF PEOPLE IN CHRISTIAN MINISTRY AND SHARING GOOD THINGS [A].

    Great Christians Like John Stott and St Augustine of Hippo had no problem believing that Genesis 1 and 2 were about the why and not the how of the world being made. Yet recently Christians have increasingly embraced 6 day creationism. What should we believe?

    Many of you will have heard of the Big Bang Theory. The idea that the universe began from nothing when matter exploded into existence. But do you know who came up with the concept? [take suggestions] In 1927 the idea was first proposed by Fr George Lemaitre a Belgium Roman Catholic Priest. Many ...read more

    Running ourselves to death is nothing new to God, who created everything with a precaution in mind-or perhaps an antidote-to exhaustion: Sabbath Rest. Wouldn’t you like to emerge from a Sabbath day refreshed and ready to tackle the most important things o

    It is obviously a scheme of Satan to keep us running in circles until we’re exhausted and totally uninterested in discipleship.

    One moment we can be happy and soon life brings circumstances that can trouble us. If not careful we will let everything become so intense that we will lose our joy. God did not create us to live a stressful life but to enjoy every moment of our day.
