    The Blessing Of Community Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Feb 12, 2017
    based on 1 rating
     | 9,986 views

    The early church took full advantage of the community developed within the body of Christ. As Christ designed the church, He intended for us to benefit from one another while we each contribute to the welfare of the entire body.

    The Blessing of Community Acts 2: 44-47 The verses we have read offer insight into the makeup of the early church. This was a very exciting time in the lives of those within the church. The early believers had only one thing on their minds – to serve the Lord in such a way that would honor Him and ...read more

    Leaders must be aware of how they live life. Conduct, ethics, habits, actions all reflect the inner life we have with God. Our ethics show us what our theology is.

    Laodicea: Wealthy And Yet Bankrupt

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Feb 16, 2020
     | 6,608 views

    The church in Laodicea enjoyed financial prosperity and the finer things in life. However, Jesus saw a church that had succumbed to complacence and apathy. They were wealthy, but facing spiritual bankruptcy.

    Laodicea – Wealthy and yet Bankrupt Revelation 3: 14-22 Today we come to the seventh and final church Jesus addressed in the book of Revelation. The church in Laodicea had been heavily influenced by the culture in which it was situated. The people there were very wealthy, creating an attitude of ...read more

    We are in a series of sermons called, The Seven Practices of a Healthy Christian. This week we’re focusing on “Why Christians are different” by examining our giving.

    Part One (This message is in two parts as the offering separates it.) This morning I want to talk about, “Why Christians Are Different.” We are different in many ways from the rest of the American population but one of the ways we are different is in how we use our money.

    An Exhortation Of Expectation Series

     | 3,906 views

    Having shared his heart and burden for the church, Paul now shifts his focus to the lives expected of believers. They were no longer their own, and were expected to live in a way that honored and glorified the Lord.

    An Exhortation of Expectation 1 Thessalonians 4: 1-8 In the previous chapter Paul devoted a substantial portion of this letter revealing his heart and desire for ministry. In case there was any doubt, Paul assured them of his love and devotion for the Lord and His church. He presented a ...read more

    A Greeting To The Saints

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Sep 16, 2018
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,612 views

    At times the church faces challenges from without, but often the greatest danger may come from within. If we are to combat the struggles associated with false doctrine, we must be settled in the Word.

    A Greeting to the Saints 2 Peter 1: 1-2 This second epistle of Peter is very similar in tone and intent to the second epistles of Paul. In large part, the second epistles were written to follow up on the first, and particularly to combat apostasy and false doctrine. Having written the first ...read more

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Aug 18, 2021
     | 3,962 views

    Jesus uses the word blessed nine times in these opening verses. Clearly there is a significant emphasis on being blessed. He reveals the presence and assurance of blessing to those who follow Him.

    The Beatitudes of Christ (Part 1) Matthew 5: 3-12 Our text begins the great discourse of Jesus, His preaching of The Sermon on the Mount. His powerful message began with what has become commonly known as the “Beatitudes.” The term beatitude comes from Latin and literally means “happiness or ...read more

    The Beatitudes Of Christ (Part 2) Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Aug 25, 2021
    based on 2 ratings
     | 3,775 views

    While many of the blessings Jesus speaks of appear to be contradictions, we must remember that God’s economy is much different than ours. The world views blessings based upon circumstances or material possessions. The Lord speaks of blessing in regard to our relationship with Him.

    The Basis of Blessing (Part 2) Matthew 5: 3-12 Today I would like to continue our study on the passage that is commonly referred to as the Beatitudes. Remember this is a Latin term that literally means “happiness or bliss.” Our Lord uses the word blessed nine times in this discourse. He is clearly ...read more

    So many today are living for themselves and for their honor and glory. Paul teaches, “For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain". We need to understand that life is never about us, but about Jesus!

    Intimacy With God

    Contributed by Warren Curry on Dec 19, 2024
     | 714 views

    Intimacy is more than knowing about someone... it's actually knowing them and being known by them.

    Have you ever considered yourself a man/woman who has intimacy with God? I know, the term intimacy brings to mind certain images/thoughts we might reserve for husbands and wives, but intimacy with God ought to go further and deeper than that.
