  • The Truth And The Elevator Speech Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Dec 16, 2012
     | 3,392 views

    In a culture convinced that all truth is relative, we should be able to say words that will attract others to our way of life and lead them to Christ and the Church.

    Fourth Sunday in Advent 2012 Verbum Domini If the Word of the one true God, Jesus Christ our Lord, refused to disclose the day and hour of the end of the world, how is it that so many were convinced that an obscure Mayan rune, from a civilization long ago destroyed, could have accurately predicted ...read more

    Contributed by Thomas Clawser on Feb 27, 2004
    based on 54 ratings
     | 10,446 views

    Some experts believe that Sunday School is on the decline. They suggest that the SS hour has been added to the church service (2:00 hour services now common, often with 1:15 devoted to music) therefore SS is unnecessary.

    Chances are, you don’t know Edward Kimball. He lived over a hundred years ago. He was a Sunday school teacher in Boston, where a young teenager became part of his class. The young man was a country boy. He didn’t know the ways of the city or of the church. But, he came to Kimball’s Sunday ...read more

  • Should We Change The Way We Do Church?

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Jan 23, 2023
     | 3,635 views

    The decline in North American Christianity is prompting various efforts to revise the way we do church. Some of these efforts are clearly counterproductive. Acts 2:42-47 reveals eight practices that must be incorporated in any church model.

    Should we change the way we do church? That question is being asked by a lot of people in America. Something is not working as it should. Almost everyone agrees on that. For the first time in U.S. history, church membership fell below the majority according to a Gallup poll conducted in 2020. This ...read more

  • The Lions In Daniel's Den Series

    Contributed by David Dykes on Oct 15, 2006
    based on 38 ratings
     | 66,808 views

    Daniel gives us a great example of how we ought to live and behave. Just as he was a child of God living in a foreign, pagan culture, you and I are children of God living in a culture that is becoming less and less Christian with each passing day.

    INTRODUCTION The title of this series from Daniel is “Turning Chaos into Character.” In chapter one, Daniel refused to eat the king’s rich food. He went on what I call the “Daniel Diet.” In chapter two, the king saw a vision of a multi-metallic statue representing Gentile Kingdoms. Here in chapter ...read more

  • Greet One Another Series

    Contributed by Dan Raymond on May 25, 2016
    based on 3 ratings
     | 14,183 views

    Surprisingly, greet one another with a holy kiss is the second most repeated one another command. This culturally out of place command is far more relevant to our culture than we might first realize. We need to focus on the "greet" and not the "kiss."

    Greet One Another With a Holy Kiss Romans 16:16 I want to start this morning with a little quiz. Now I've already told you that the command to love one another is the most frequently repeated one another principle. It appears no less than nine times in the New Testament. Here's your one question ...read more

  • The Foolishness Of The Message Of The Cross

    Contributed by Anitha Jabastion on Jul 23, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,737 views

    Was Paul saying that the message of the cross was foolish? Paul was a Jew brought up in a Roman town and was greatly influenced by Greek culture. When he preached Christ, Paul found that each of these cultures had its own particular challenges when the gospel was concerned.

    1 Corinthians 1:21-25 - For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe. For Jews request a sign, and Greeks seek after wisdom; but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a ...read more

  • As In The Days Of Noah

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Feb 21, 2025
     | 608 views

    The days of Noah serve as a prophetic warning for our time. The moral decay, spiritual complacency, and rejection of God’s truth seen in Noah’s generation are evident today. Jesus said that just as the flood came suddenly, so will His return be.

    AS IN THE DAYS OF NOAH By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Matthew 24:37-39 "But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, ...read more

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Feb 24, 2025
     | 402 views

    Grace is a divine privilege, not a license to sin. While God’s grace is abundant, it is not endless for those who continually reject it.

    Cultural, personal, or circumstantial obstacles are bound to stand in the way of anyone who wants to become mature in Christ.

    Cultural, personal, or circumstantial obstacles are bound to stand in the way of anyone who wants to become mature in Christ. Yet, without maturity we cannot become all that God wants us to be.

    This is a sample ceremony for a Christian younglady’s "coming of age" celebration which most hispanic cultures celebrate.

    Consecration of a Quinceañera If you cannot find 14 fourteen girls or if you don’t want to have a "court of attendants", it is appropriate to have the quinceañera stand alone with her parents. It is suggested that the following objects be used in the ceremony. 1. A Bible (preferably with a ...read more
