    Contributed by Scott Coltrain on Sep 5, 2002
    based on 38 ratings
     | 8,606 views

There has never been a great deal of disagreement among brethren over this matter. Christians generally agree that it is right to contribute to a general fund to ...read more

I hope we all have come here for the same reasons. We are hungry for God. It is important that we study God’s Word closely. ...read more

    The Discipline Of Delay

    Contributed by Mark Wood on Jan 13, 2007
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,699 views

    Dr. Wood used this sermon to inform the congregation that often God uses delay in order to discipline us or steer us in the direction that He intends for the good of His kingdom.

    John 11:1–46 INTRODUCTION: Too often, we worry when we should wait, and we resist when we should resign. Often God’s delays are explained in that God wishes to teach us our need of patience (see Hebrews 10:36). In our text, Lazarus was on his deathbed and yet Jesus delayed (see vv. 1–6). ...read more

    What is the role of the Holy Spirit in the life of a believer in Jesus? You may have some preconceptions that steer you in the wrong direction as to the Spirit’s real purpose.
