    The Kingdom Within

    Contributed by Howard Strickland on Dec 17, 2006
    based on 24 ratings
     | 7,683 views

    We are a people who have been guilty of looking for the anointing on the outside, but outward appearances can deceive. The Pharisees were great preachers, and keepers of the law, but they looked at Jesus and called Him “Beelzebub.”

    The Kingdom Within! Text: Romans 14: 17-18 (What I’m speaking about this morning, the devil doesn’t want you to ever grasp because he understands that if you do, he will loss his grip on your life.) 17 for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and ...read more

    This morning our focus in on one last appearance, though this one took place after the Ascension, as Jesus radically redirects a rebel named Paul (also known as Saul – his Hebrew name).

    Today we’re wrapping up our series called, “Beyond the Tomb,” during which we’ve studied the various appearances Jesus made between His Resurrection and His ascension into Heaven. This morning our focus in on one last appearance, though this one took place after the Ascension, as Jesus radically ...read more

    John the Baptist was the forerunner of the Messiah appearing at the River Jordan where crowds gathered to hear the Voice of the Prophet announcing Jesus as the Lamb of God and the Voice of God confirming him as his beloved Son

    VOICES BY THE RIVER JORDAN Quite frequently we read in the papers of sightings of unidentified flying objects - UFOs. Quite probably they don’t exist, but just suppose they did. What would those people from outer space make of planet Earth? Well, for sure, they would think it was very noisy. ...read more

    At times it appears that a LOT of things are against us. We may have enemies, and often we’re our own enemy; but since God is on our side, nothing can defeat us.

    Sermon Series on Romans 8> Reasons to be ENCOURAGED Reason #8> We’re on the Winning Team!

    The Roles Of Women In The Church Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on May 20, 2005
    based on 104 ratings
     | 17,125 views

    This is among the most controversial sections in the Bible. Paul appears on the surface to be against women, but if you look at the context there is much more here - and more important issues than how we dress and act.

    There is no doubt that 1 Timothy 2 is among the most controversial passages of Paul’s writings. In this chapter it appears as if Paul calls men to pray and women to shut up - while dressed in sackcloth and ashes - staying home barefoot and pregnant. Although it is short - only 15 verses - it is ...read more

    A carefully crafted, unashamedly Biblical and necessary message on the importance of the principle of modesty as applied to the choices we as Christians make regarding our appearance and the message it communicates about both ourselves and our Lord.

    Modesty For His Majesty Perth Bible Church Sunday AM October 28, 2007 Rev. Todd G. Leupold PREAMBLE: As you can see, I’m taking a little different approach this morning.

    John proclaims the incarnation in the first chapter of his gospel. In the middle of his proclamation John appears as a man, sent, to witness, so that all might believe. We pick up that ministry today.

    John 1: 6-8, 19-28 “It Happened Once” INTRODUCTION There are many perspectives of life. • One group of people sees all of life as happenstance. Things happen for no particular reason, and if there is a god, that god is not actively involved in the everyday situations of life. • Another ...read more

    Contributed by Luther Sexton on Mar 28, 2019
     | 5,342 views

    It has always been the case, whenever any of the servants of God do anything in His cause, and there appears to be a probability that they will succeed, that Satan by his agents regularly attempts to divert their minds and nullify their labors.

    Revival (Section 5) HINDRANCES TO REVIVALS (From Charles Finney’s Lectures) Nehemiah 6: 3 I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down: why should the work cease, whilst I leave it, and come down to you? Nehemiah had journeyed from Babylon to rebuild the temple wall. ...read more

     | 26,639 views

    How do we defeat Satan? It appears we do it by (as a Church) beating down the gates of Hell. But how exactly do that, and what is the objective in beating down those gates?

    When Joe Louis was in his prime he fought "Two-Ton" Tony Galento. Louis was favored to win because 2 Ton Tony loved to fight… but he hated to train. At the first part of the fight, Galento threw his Sunday punch and sent Louis sprawling to the mat. Louis was more surprised than hurt and ...read more
