    Seeing The Possibilities

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jan 1, 2017
    based on 3 ratings
     | 14,547 views

    Paul faced much opposition in ministry. He was forced to change his plans on numerous occasions, and yet he chose to see the possibilities instead of the obstacles. We too will face difficulty, but we must maintain our perspective, seeing possibilities.

    Seeing the Possibilities 2 Corinthians 2: 12-17 As you read and study Paul’s letters to the Corinthian church, you discover his ministry there was difficult at best. The church was situated in a city that was morally corrupt, and its influence was showing up in negative ways within the church. ...read more

    Prayer is the greatest tool the Christian has. It is through prayer that we make our petitions known unto God. We will never be any stronger spiritually than our prayer life allows.

    Asking with Expectation Matthew 7: 7-11 We have come to a very familiar and favorite portion of the Sermon on the Mount. We have considered the importance of prayer in previous studies, and yet once again, Jesus emphasizes its importance in these verses. Our Lord understood the importance of ...read more

     | 3,784 views

    Do we make demands of Jesus to do what we want or follow the path Jesus sets for us?

    I want to set the stage before we examine the scripture: Jesus had been traveling, preaching, and teaching for three years with these twelve disciples. Everything he had done was in preparation for them continuing his ministry – and time and time again, it was evident that they were “not getting” ...read more

    Paul urged the believers in Thessalonica to follow the example he had lived before them, walking in a way that would glorify the Lord, revealing the transformation they had received. We too have received this mandate - to walk worthy of our calling.

    Continuing in the Faith 1 Thessalonians 2: 10-12 We have set aside this day to honor our graduates. We are proud of each of you and the commitment you have shown to reach this milestone in life.

    Cleansing The Temple Series

    As Jesus entered Jerusalem triumphantly, He entered the Temple, considering what He saw. Being displeased with much that was going on, He returned on Monday to set His Father's house in order.

    Cleansing the Temple Mark 11: 15-19 In our last study we discussed Jesus cursing the fig tree as He made His way to Jerusalem. While this was a physical act, it had spiritual implications. Jesus cursed the fig tree as He and the disciples were headed to the Temple on what most agree was Monday ...read more

     | 8,073 views

    Immediately following his instruction for ordaining elders in each city, Paul revealed the great need to have elders in place within the churches - false doctrine, immorality, and idolatry. It was imperative the church be able to deal with the many challenges she faced.

    Challenges for the Cretian Church Titus 1: 10-16 Following the charge to ordain elders in every city, and providing detailed instruction regarding the qualifications needed for an elder, Paul revealed the great need within Crete.

    An Introduction To Worship Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Sep 15, 2019
     | 14,707 views

    What is worship? Is it prayer, praise, or preaching? These are elements of worship, but they do not necessarily constitute worship in and of themselves. Worship is an attitude that motivates action, not a mere activity.

    An Introduction to Worship John 4:22-24 Today, I want to lay the groundwork for a series regarding biblical worship. The verses I read are likely familiar to each of us. (Illus. context.) Just as the woman at the well, many today have no concept of biblical worship. I want to spend the next ...read more

    Nahum was written to warn sinners of God’s exacting justice and to encourage believers of God’s unfailing redemptive purpose in advancing his kingdom against all opposition.

    So maybe you’ve heard it said, ‘read your bible’ so you tried and failed. Our hope as leaders is that all of us will pick up God’s word and come to understand the true nature of God. After all, the bible is God’s Word curated over centuries detailing His nature, His will, the meaning of life and ...read more

    Sin hinders our relationship with God, creating division and preventing fellowship. We have no way to restore that which sin has lost, but God provided the means of reconciliation through the offering of His Son.

    Reconciliation: Restored Relationship Romans 5: 8-11 As we continue the series, Understanding Christianese, I want us to take a moment and consider the state of affairs in our nation, and even around the world.
