Within, Without Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Dec 11, 2008

Paul and John Mark, a study in maturing relationships. John Mark starts out young and conflicted; he is insecure around the powerful Paul; but Paul grows to accept him and think of him as useful.

The Scripture texts I will be using today are scattered through several chapters in the Book of Acts, plus other locations in the New Testament. And so instead of simply reading passage after passage, let me put together a vignette, a character sketch, in order to make the life of John Mark ...read more

What Makes Us Worthy?

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Jun 23, 2018

What does the Apostle Paul mean when he says we can come to the communion table "unworthily"?

Normally when I minister the first question I ask is “How is the blessed of the Lord?” I’m not going to do that today. I am going to make a declaration. You are the blessed of the Lord.

The Need For Church Revival: Recover

Contributed by Chuck Brooks on Oct 22, 2020

Trans-Generational Value

Contributed by Larry Wilson on Jun 26, 2014

Though necessary, I often find it hard to preach sermons to the women of our church in relation to their role as wives and mothers. Paul had a better idea. Much of such preaching could be done without the pastor. The aged women were to teach the younger!
