Has God Rejected Israel? (Part 1 Of 3) Series

Contributed by Eddie Snipes on Sep 2, 2002

Part 1 of 3 Many claim that the church is now Israel. After examining the scriptures, we cannot draw that conclusion without denying the accuracy of the Bible. This section examines the New Testament promise that God has not forsaken Israel and the Old T

(Part 1 of 3) It is often argued that the futurist view of prophecy is a modern view, therefore it has less merit. This is partially true. Even though we can find 1st and 2nd century writings that agree with the futurist view point, it was not the focal point during the Reformation Period and did ...read more

Peter - Man Of Bold And Courageous Faith

Contributed by Ray Ellis on Jul 13, 2003

If You Want To Walk On Water, You Gotta Get Out Of The Boat

Contributed by Deborah Westbrook on Aug 13, 2008

God loves those sitting in the pews, but you’re denying yourself a more personal and profound relationship with Christ if you don’t get up and DO something. Take that leap of faith and grow closer to God than ever before.

Matthew 14:22-33 Jesus Walks on Water Our Scripture this morning begins where last week’s ended.

Addressing The Realities Of Life Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Mar 23, 2015

Being human is generally a good thing. The temptation in our day is to manipulate or engineer human nature and deny its realities. But a church is about real people, redeemed by Jesus, but fully human — even more human — because of that redemption.

Addressing the Realities of Life (I Timothy 5:1-16) 1. Some people have a sanitized view of life. Life, however, is often less glamourous. 'Cash, check or charge?' I asked, after folding items the woman wished to purchase. As she fumbled for her wallet, I noticed a remote control for a ...read more

What Is The Trinity? Series

Contributed by Sean Harder on Jan 16, 2013

Death And Life? Series

Lesson 19: Positive Basis: Death Of The "Old Man” Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Jul 27, 2018

When we are born again we are called upon to “put off” the old garments of the natural life, the natural man. We are to deny the ways of the “old man.” (The “old man” is by nature corrupt, and by nature follows “the deceitful lust.”)

Poor are owners of Poverty. God commands to have concern for POOR, needy, widows, oppressed and aged. They are poor because they are deprived of their privileges, cheated, defrauded by the powerful. B How often we are disheartened to see how justice is denied to the poor and needy.

Staying On Track (Part 2) Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Sep 14, 2020

Message deals with current deception "Progressive Christianity" while expounding Philippians 3:19. Many young Evangelicals are being drawn into the Progressive Christianity error which denies Christ as only way of salvation and supports ungodly lifestyles.

We are at a crucial time in our nation, and the best response we can have to all that’s going on around us is to seek the Lord. As Christians we should vote responsibly. We should be light and salt.

Setting Our Minds On Divine Things

Contributed by Charles Mallory on Sep 12, 2024

Jesus taught his disciples to set their minds on divine things such as denying themselves and taking up their crosses to follow him. He added to that statements about "losing" our lives and to not be ashamed of the Gospel. What does all this mean?
