Concealing The Word Of God

Contributed by James Dina on Mar 14, 2021

The counsels of God, His truths, must be revealed. It is a dangerous thing for any man to conceal the Word of God, either in his opinion or in his practice. Speak the truth to one another in love.

CONCEALING THE WORD OF GOD "For I have not concealed the words of the Holy One." (Job 6:10b) "Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost has made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he has purchased with his own ...read more

The Word Became Flesh Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 24, 2021

Who ever heard of the guest getting more and greater gifts than the one whose birthday is being celebrated? Only at Christmas does this happen, and that is why it is such a joyous birthday.

Everybody in the world has a birthday. It doesn't make any difference if they are rich or poor, black or white, or educated or uneducated. Everybody has one in every age. Methuselah had 969 of them before he died, and that was the world record until Jesus came. Jesus only had 33 birthdays ...read more

In this passage, Solomon is acting as a teacher instructing his students about life. He concludes with his observations about the purpose of life; and in his closing remarks we find four words of wisdom that can be applied to graduates.

Today is our Graduate Recognition, and I feel led to share from a passage in Ecclesiastes. This book is believed to have been written by Solomon, since Ecclesiastes 1:1 says that these are “the words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem.” To get started, I think these words can ...read more

Speaking Words Of Faith Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Nov 18, 2021

Words can change how we think, act or dress; and even determine what we do with our life. This message looks at what the Bible has to say about taking control of our thoughts and speaking words of faith and words of life.

Spoken words program your heart either to success or defeat. Words . . . carry faith or fear, and they produce after their kind. - Charles Capps(1) To get started this morning, I want to talk about the power of words; and a good example of words can be seen in the news media. You hear a lot of ...read more

A Word Concerning Confrontation Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Dec 1, 2021

Most of us have, at some point, desired to get even with those who have wronged us. There is something within our human nature that desires to “return the favor.” These attitudes are contrary to God's will for our lives.

A Word Concerning Confrontation Matthew 5: 38-42 As we continue our study in the Sermon on the Mount, we come to a passage that we all have heard a portion of quoted many times in our lives: An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth. This is often quoted in anger, or in a desire to repay a wrong ...read more

Words: Consider The Source Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Aug 31, 2021

Seriously, though, there is a difference. God’s Word has power to propel us through life in Godliness, the word of man has some power, and the word of agitators can have a good dose of negative power. When it comes to words, we need to consider the source.

Words: Consider the Source (Proverbs 29:18, 19, 21, 22) 1. None of us doubt the power of words. This story illustrates it. 2. A group of Frogs were traveling through the woods, and two of them fell into a deep pit. All the other Frogs gathered around the pit. When they saw how deep the pit was, ...read more

The Word Became Flesh

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Dec 24, 2024

At the beginning of John's gospel John makes many striking claims about Jesus. One is that he was Logos, the word. Another is that he became flesh. Isn't 'the flesh' bad? Why did Jesus take on flesh? And should we do anything?

At Christmas, Christians think of the fact that Jesus, though he was God, became man. But John expresses things differently. Rather than saying that God became man, John tells us that THE WORD – in Greek, Logos – became FLESH. John starts his gospel by talking about ‘Logos’ – the word. John ...read more

Jesus Last Words

Contributed by Lee Houston on Mar 14, 2023

While Christ was on the cross, he was doing his greatest work; he was uttering some of his greatest words. Luke 23:34 records one of his last statements: “Then Jesus said, ‘Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.’”

Subject: Forgiveness Central idea: Jesus final loving instructions for us Specific purpose: to persuade the congregation that Christ died for each of them.

Jesus used the Word of God to testify about truth; how about us?

open your Bibles to Mark 12…… Take a quick look again at v12…… Eventually, Jesus was crucified on a cross, but sadly, many missed the point of Jesus being a sacrifice for man’s sin as planned by God.

Being Read By The Word

Contributed by John Gaston on Apr 26, 2023

Kierkegaard once said, "When you read God’s Word, you must constantly be saying to yourself, ‘It is talking to me, and about me.’” Is the Word challenging you? Convicting you? Bringing your life into alignment with God?

I’m only fifty five.” 2. “Fifty five?” says Saint Peter. “No, according to our calculations, you’re ...read more
