    Worship at the Lord’s Table may either be focused on Christ, or on the individual participating. Paul cautions against trivializing the Lord’s Table to suit oneself.

    1 CORINTHIANS 11:17-20 THERE MUST BE FACTIONS “In the following instructions I do not commend you, because when you come together it is not for the better but for the worse. For, in the first place, when you come together as a church, I hear that there are divisions among you. And I believe it ...read more

    The only life that glorifies God is the life of a Doer of his Word. Everyone else are just deceiving themselves.

    DOES YOUR LIFE BRING GOD GLORY? James 1:22-25, "But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

    The Pair Are Tempted Into Sin Series

     | 6,666 views

    Up to this point, God’s voice is the only one we have heard; creating and commanding. Now another “voice” is heard, the voice of Satan, the deceiver. Eve was deceived when she ate, but Adam was not; he sinned with his eyes wide open.

    Be careful! Be on guard against false teachings and teachers. These are warnings Jesus makes as we wait for Him to come again. Luther fought against the false teachings of his time, and we must within ours as well.

    10.27.24 Mark 13:5–11 (EHV) 5 Jesus began by telling them, “Be careful that no one deceives you. 6 Many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am he,’ and will deceive many. . . .

    Do You Want To Go Away?

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Aug 4, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,501 views

    As the message delivered by Jesus transitions for followers to embrace Him as Master, many chose to leave. The Lord questioned His disciples, asking, "Do you want to go away as well?" Peter answered for all who will follow the Saviour, asking, "Lord, to whom shall we go?"

    “Jesus said to the Twelve, ‘Do you want to go away as well?’ Simon Peter answered him, ‘Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.’” [1] Christ will never compel anyone to remain as one who is counted among the faithful. If a person is determined to “quit” pretending that ...read more

    Revival: Stronger Than Ever - Where To Turn In Your Darkest Moment Premium Sermon

    Contributed by PRO Premium on Oct 9, 2023
    based on 3 ratings
     | 655 views

    This sermon explores where to turn during our darkest moments, using a personal anecdote from the pastor's childhood as a metaphor for finding oneself in unexpected and challenging situations.

    One of my most vivid childhood memories is of an afternoon in sixth grade, when a friend and I decided to swing on a newly-installed bar hanging over the walkway on our way out of school. The bar was about 8 feet off the ground, just low enough for the two of us to reach if we jumped. So on the ...read more
