    How to be gracious toward others.

    Today, we will conclude our series on "Finding Freedom In Forgiving Others." In doing so, I want us to think together about how our Savior tells us that we, as His followers, are called to live differently than the world.

    Nothing can compare to the love God has shown us in Christ.

    John 3:16 is, perhaps, the most familiar verse in the Bible. Here in the United States many people can quote the verse. Of those who cannot quote it, many are at least familiar with the reference, if only because they have seen it displayed so often in the end zone of football stadiums. Yet, I am ...read more

    Salvation is the gift of God to us in Christ.

    When the Scripture tells us that Jesus is the "one and only," it is saying that there was no one else like Him! 1. Jesus Is The One And Only Son! It has been said that a son is sure to resemble his father. Surely, this was true of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Jesus was God come in human form to ...read more

    God grants us a wonderful opportunity through faith in Christ.

    On television or radio, it is not uncommon to hear a pitchman tell you that the particular opportunity to purchase whatever product he is promoting is "the greatest opportunity ever offered!" You know that isn*t the case, however, because the next week you will see the same product offered with new ...read more

    Heaven awaits those who have trusted Christ as their Savior.

    John 3:16 tells us that when a person comes to God through faith in Jesus Christ, he "shall not perish, but have ETERNAL life." The word "eternal" refers not only to length of life but depth of life! It not only has to do with how long I live, but to how well I live! 1. Eternal Life Is Eternal In ...read more

    Believers are called to come together as a learning community.

    In Acts chapter 2, we read about the birth of the New Testament church on the day of Pentecost. We are told of how God moved through a sermon Peter preached.

    Believers are called to come together as a caring community.

    Last week, we made note of the fact that as a Christian community, we are called to learn together. We pointed out that this was a key element associated with the life of the early church, who "devoted themselves to the apostle’s teaching." Now today, I want us to think on yet another ...read more

    Believers are called to come together as a worshipping community.

    As we have been looking to Acts 2:42-47, we have been talking about how we as Christians are called to live in community with other believers as a community of faith. In doing so, we have recognized key elements which contribute to a local body of believers living together as a community of ...read more

    based on 7 ratings

    Believers are called to come together as an evangelistic community.

    Our passage does not specifically tell us that the early church devoted themselves to evangelism, although we may conclude that they did, indeed, share the message of the Good News with those who did not know Christ. What we are told is that they devoted themselves to learning ("to the Apostle’s ...read more

    Where do I begin when it comes to financial giving to support God’s work?

    Church growth experts have said that there are four things that can work to prevent a church’s growth: 1) A lack of desire to grow; 2) A lack of adequate leadership; 3) A lack of space; 4) A lack of finances. If there is any one of these factors that might hinder the continued growth of our ...read more

    How does God want me to grow in my giving to support His work?

    God’s plan is for you to give your tithe to the support of His work through your local church. But we need to understand that giving a tithe is only the beginning. God’s plan is for us to grow in our giving. In Malachi 3:8, we are exhorted to give both "tithes" and "offerings." God wants us to ...read more

    What purposes does God work out in our lives when we give financially to support His work?

    1 Chronicles 29 tells the story of how David and the people of Israel took up an offering for the construction of the temple which David was told by God would be built by his son and successor, Solomon. It is a beautiful story of what happens when Gods people give generously to God’s work. I once ...read more

  • The Importance Of Our Church's Vision

     | 14,380 views

    Whether or not a church has a God-given vision for how it is to partner with God in its work is eternally important.

    In the first part of Proverbs 29:18, we find a familiar portion of Scripture. Most Christians are familiar with the quote from the KJV: “Where there is no vision, the people perish.” The translation in the NIV gives us insight as to why people with no vision perish: “Where there is no revelation, ...read more

Was Instituted In The Midst Of Fellowship - v. 26a It should therefore remind us of the importance of the fellowship of believers.

    A sermon exploring the Biblical truth behind a favorite carol of Christmas.

    The composing of this Christmas carol had its beginning with a Christmas eve service in 1818, in the village of Oberndorf in Austria. When it was discovered that the organ in St. Nicholas Church would not function and the music planned for the Christmas Eve service could not be used, Father Joseph ...read more
