    Kingdom Lost - Kingdom Gained

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Oct 29, 2000
    based on 137 ratings
     | 8,289 views

    Jeremiah tells the people of Israel that they are in grave danger of God’s judgement because of their infidelity but there is hope if only they would return to God in repentance and faith.

    KINGDOM LOST - KINGDOM GAINED In business life there has to be a financial year-end when there’s stocktaking. That’s what Jeremiah had done for the nation of Israel - and he didn’t like the result. There was more loss than profit. The Old Testament prophets were often quite blunt in announcing ...read more

    Knee Bowed And Body Bent Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Nov 19, 2000
    based on 97 ratings
     | 9,263 views

    Since body language communicates our real feelings, we must pay attention to how we present our bodies to God -- in the words of James Weldon Johnson, "knee-bowed", ready to submit our wills to His; and "body-bent", ready to work for things that matter.

    You may not speak a great many foreign languages, but there is one language other than English at which most of us are proficient. That is body language. Whether our mouths can pronounce strange sounds or whether our eyes can make any sense out of different alphabets, we can see body language. ...read more

    Thoughts On Building Temples

     | 6,110 views

    We were moving into a building project in Brisbane and this was a look at David’s instructions to Solomon to build the temple

    HE WALKED ACROSS THE DUSTY STONY GROUND, KICKED A ROCK AND BENT AND DREW IN THE DIRT. HE LOOKED AROUND AT THE DESOLATE LAND SCAPE AND DOWN AT THE CITY BELOW AND WONDERED IF HIS DREAM WOULD EVER BE A REALITY. WOULD IT REALLY HAPPEN, SOMEDAY WOULD THE PEOPLE OF GOD WORSHIP ON THIS GROUND? WOULD ...read more

     | 7,455 views

    We need to see the real person of Christ , not a stained-glass window version, for he was the Eternal Son becoming the Emptied Servant and is now the Exalted Lord.

    THE ADVENT HYMN TO CHRIST The Advent season has come around again. What does it all mean? To the world in general and to us? For those in the marketplace of commerce, it’s a time of expectation of the cash till ringing, with everyone who can buying presents. For the man and woman in the ...read more

    Their conclusion was this: "He saved others, but He can’t save himself!" That was their conclusion, a logical conclusion, but a false conclusion.

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK (REVISED: 2016) TEXT: Matthew 21:1 11; Luke 19:39 40; John 12:19; Mark 15:25 32 A. Next Sunday is Palm Sunday, but since so much happened during His last week, we're going to look at Palm Sunday today. Then next week ...read more

    Jesus is the exclusive and universal Savior.

    Cary Grant, the movie star, once told how he was walking along a street and started to pass by a man who began staring at him with a look of excited recognition. The man said, “Wait a minute, you’re... you’re — I know who you are; don’t tell me... uh, Rock Hud... No, you’re....” The famous ...read more

    Gideon moved from being a defeatist and doubter to being a doer.

    TAKING A STAND Judges 6:1-22 In the mountains of East Tennessee, there is a beautiful little church with a strange name. On the sign out front the name is artfully written: “Compromise Church.” There is a story behind the name. The church had been built early in the 20th century and the ...read more

    For Christians, Thanksgiving is a day to acknowledge that everything we have is a gift from God, & to lift our hearts in thanksgiving to Him. But we're not very good at saying "Thank you," are we? .

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK (Revised: 2014) A. Many holidays have two different celebrations or connotations - one worldly, & the other, Christian. The world celebrates Easter with Easter bunnies & ...read more

    A Work In Progress Series

    based on 97 ratings
     | 7,943 views

    When the real Jesus is seen, he presents problems -- either he is too difficult for us to accept, or he is offensive to our sloppy ways of doing church, or we are just too tired of churchiness -- but his words of life revive our weariness.

    I notice that they’ve revived one of the old-time television shows. We can once again see, “To Tell the Truth”. The idea of “To Tell the Truth” is that three people come out, and they all stand and give a name – the same name. Then someone reads a few sentences about the person who actually has ...read more

     | 118,312 views

    It was not just once that Jesus prayed this prayer. Again & again He prayed, "Father, forgive them for they do not know what they are doing." But I wonder if we understand what He was praying for?

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK (REVISED: 2016) TEXT: Luke 23:32 34; Acts 3:17 19 ILL. Jamestown, VA, was the first permanent English settlement in the new world, & some of their religious practices were rather interesting. For instance, they had 2 ...read more

    How Should We “Make Much of Our Ministry” as Paul Did – Rom. 11:13 When people are genuinely empowered and excited about their ministry they tend to make it a labor of love rather than an obligation to complete.

     | 42,174 views

    In this new year, we need to focus on: 1. Personal development. 2. Building relationships. 3. A life of service.

    One of the positive effects of the recent tragedy our country experienced is that people appear to be shifting their priorities. People are centering their lives more on home and family rather than jobs and careers. We are looking again at the value of relationships, and even our relationship ...read more
