    Marks Of The True Church: Truth Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Feb 17, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,790 views

    Christians are to be immersed in the truth as they are sanctified in this life. We are immersed in truth as we immerse ourselves in the Word of God and as we invest ourselves in the congregation wherein the Spirit of Christ has placed us.

    “Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth.” [1] Truth is in short supply in our world. Tragically, truth has been largely sacrificed for what has come to be known as “truthiness” in our world today. Perhaps that has always been the case, but it is certainly apparent that this is the case ...read more

    A Lesson In Evangelism From Philip And The Ethiopian Eunuch

    Contributed by Paul Green on May 18, 2022
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,330 views

    When Philip introduces the Ethopian Eunuch to Jesus – he does it God’s way. Philip wasn't an Apostle like Peter, a missionary like Paul, or a pastor like Timothy. He was a deacon, a servant of the church, an ordinary, average man who just couldn’t keep God to himself.

    There was a man on a business trip and when he checked in he was given one of the middle seats on the airplane. He was tired and he all he wanted to do was sleep, so he got a little bit irritated when the young girl sat next to him started to ask questions: “Mister, do you brush your teeth?” “Yes,” ...read more

    Discerning God's Voice: Does It Honor God?

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Oct 2, 2024
     | 759 views

    As God's creation, our lives are supposed to point to the glory of our Creator. God calls us to live for His glory. And it's in His glory that we find our greatest purpose.

    Let's start off today talking about art. I am no artist but I appreciate art. When we look at a piece of art, we don't marvel over the canvas that it's painted on, or the type of paint that is used. We marvel over the artist. I am amazed how an artist can paint his thoughts on a ...read more

    Thyatira — When Faithfulness Is Subverted Series

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 31, 2026
     | 237 views

    Thyatira warns that faithfulness can be redirected when tolerance replaces discernment and Christ’s authority is quietly shared with other voices.

    By the time we arrive at Thyatira, something has already changed in us. Ephesus taught us that love can cool without rebellion. Smyrna taught us that faithfulness can be costly without being fragile. Pergamum taught us that proximity to power can quietly rearrange loyalty. So when we come to ...read more

    In Ephesians 5:15-17, God shows us through the Apostle Paul shows us how to use biblical wisdom to discover the will of God. He shows us how to discover this through: 1) Understanding (Ephesians 5:15), 2) Occasion (Ephesians 5:16), 3) Action (Ephesians 5:17).

    Ephesians 5:15-17 [15] Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, [16] making the best use of the time, because the days are evil.
