     | 8,347 views

    We are a part of this world's injustice and brokenness, and need to repent, for we have too often attempted nothing or have given ourselves to pointless activity. "Only what you do for Christ will last" and that is guaranteed by His risen life.

    There are just too many things that are not the way they ought to be, and I don’t like it! Are you with me? There are too many things going on that should not be going on, and when I hear about them or experience them, it disturbs me. I don’t like the brokenness I see in this ...read more

    Contributed by William D. Brown on Dec 10, 2008
    based on 6 ratings
     | 13,197 views

    God has given us His Word and we’re to be careful not to try and make His Word fit what we may have heard down through the years just because we may have heard or been taught certain things about the Bible according to what Grandpa may have said.

    RIGHTLY DIVIDING THE WORD: 2ND Tim. 2:15 Today I’ll talk for a little while about rightly dividing the WORD. And let me say here at the very beginning that I’m certainly not a Bible scholar by any means, but I do believe that God has given us His Word and we’re to be ...read more

    based on 28 ratings
     | 18,669 views

    One of the major controversies that separate churches to this day is the role women play in ministry. For me, this topic has become a blessing rather than an obstacle.

    Women of Valor Intro.: Many women have had a profound impact on history, society and the church. Although tradition, experience, and practice, have often excluded women in light of certain passages attributed to Paul, he commended women who served as leaders in the church and often relied on them ...read more

    Some instances and obstacles the Church must deal with Today.

    In the Church today, as a Pastor and Preacher there are times we are faced with hinderances to the worship service.

  • Diversity In The Church

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Mar 11, 2012
     | 5,654 views

    Leadership in the congregation is to reflect the Lord’s choice rather than seeking diversity as defined in the world.

    “The saying is trustworthy: If anyone aspires to the office of overseer, he desires a noble task. Therefore an overseer must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not a drunkard, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, ...read more

Moses had basically been given control of all the ...read more

  • A Greeting Of Grace Series

     | 7,755 views

    Although Paul was imprisoned, he sought to encourage the church at Philippi. He urged them to focus on Christ and His grace. Like Paul, we need to encourage others while keeping our focus on the Lord. He must be central to all we do.

    A Greeting of Grace Philippians 1: 1-2 Today as we begin to move through this precious epistle, verse by verse, I want to remind us of the context in which it was written. Paul is bound in a Roman prison, awaiting trial, facing accusations regarding his faith. He is no longer free to go and come ...read more
