    Unity: Saints, Prepare The Church – Part 5 Of 6 Series

    Contributed by Graham Kettle on Oct 14, 2014
     | 6,822 views

    Saints must build the Body of Christ through active participation/action. Every church worker is vital; if only one slacks off, the entire effort of the church suffers. Whatever your ability, if you are working for the Lord, it is “for the profit of all."

    1. Basics Ephesians 4:12-13 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of ...read more

     | 3,529 views

    Do we live like Christ’s Disciples, or are we tending towards the ‘pagan’ lifestyle? If we are true Disciples, then we have no choice, for we do what the Master requires of us. If we don’t care what the Master says, then we are living more like the pagan.

    Simple sermon on the Foundation for Healing & patterned examples of Healings. There are some responsibilities on our part for Healing!

    “HEALING BY THE BOOK” This morning we’re focusing on “HEALING!” I noticed the “HEALINGS” that Jesus did and one thing that stood out and was patterned in all of them was “FAITH!” But there are a few other things coupled with "FAITH" that bears ...read more

     | 5,208 views

    Most Christians can't share with non-christian why they believe except to say I believe because I believe. Faith is an amazing gift, but God gave answers to why all throughout the universe! WE WANT TO HELP YOU HAVE ANSWERS!

    March 17, 2013 Love does. CONTEND pt.2 // why? Good Morning! Why do we believe?

    The first in a series of sermons devoted to understanding the biblical truth contained in the Apostles' Creed.

    I Believe… Matthew 7.24-27 Introduction What do we mean when we say, “I believe” in the Apostles’ Creed? In the current use of the word belief, there is very little difference between belief and an opinion. You have your beliefs and I have mine. But in the Bible, belief is a much stronger ...read more

    Easter Impact

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Feb 20, 2018
     | 6,596 views

    Mary Magdalene has the biggest “narrative impact” on Easter morningI: “I have seen the Lord." Which speaks of her life-transforming experience.

    John, called the Beloved Disciple, is clearly the hero of Easter morning! He is spiritually superior with love and understanding; runs fastest. Between John, Peter, and Mary Magdalene— all of whom were at the empty tomb on that first Easter morning— only John had faith in the Physical ...read more

    Shouldn’t marriages that are contrary to sound biblical doctrines be rightly, albeit be legally, kept away from the church just as men wittingly keeps out of the ladies in public places and vice versa.

    Evil is not yet unmasked and fully revealed nevertheless it seems evil is being emboldened daily in the West and aimed to contain the church of Christ and to censor pure Biblical doctrines. Indeed, it is alas! These wanton affronts on the Church and on pure Biblical doctrines is akin to ...read more

    See here is a great truth… it is not enough to believe that Jesus exists, or that he lived long ago, or that he was a good man, or even a great man

    Choice John 9 Today we have a very familiar story, but I want to come at it from a different angle. Let’s cruise through the story. Jesus is walking through the streets of Jerusalem, in the middle of a large crowd. He did this because he was hiding. If you look at the end of chapter 8, you ...read more

    The LORD is God alone, and will tolerate no rivals.

    LOVE THE LORD THY GOD. Deuteronomy 6:4-9. One of the core texts in the whole Bible is the Shema (DEUTERONOMY 6:4-5). “Hear O Israel…” is something of a refrain in Deuteronomy, much as Jesus would later often say, ‘he who has ears to hear, let him hear.’ Here we are told who the LORD is, and ...read more

     | 883 views

    Jesus warns that just because we have done "works" for Him doesn't mean that we know Him personally. Be certain of your own salvation and have built your home upon the Rock.

    Dr. Frank Turek, noted Christian apologist and evangelist, has referred to Matthew 7:21-23 as the most terrifying words in all of the Bible. It is a warning against assumption, intentions, works, and false belief, all being evidence that Jesus Himself will use on the Day of Judgment as a warning ...read more

    Walking by sight is something we have all perfected. We believe when we see the proof. However, we are called to walk by faith, believing without the proof. This message is about taking Jesus at His Word and believing.

    Each Christian has likely struggled with doubts at one time or another. God's Word is given not only to reveal the Father, but to encourage us that we are accepted in the Beloved Son as we believe Him.

    “Thomas, one of the twelve, called the Twin, was not with them when Jesus came.
