    Jesus addressed the grave disappointment some will encounter as they stand before Him, seeking to gain entrance into His kingdom. These were certainly sincere in their efforts, but they were not found worthy to gain access to the kingdom.

Matthew 7: 21-23 As we continue to study the Sermon on the Mount, we come to the portion of the message where Jesus addressed the grave disappointment some will encounter as they stand before Him, seeking to gain entrance into His kingdom.

    The Identification Of Worship Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Oct 27, 2019
     | 11,656 views

    As Jesus talked with the woman at the well, He revealed much regarding worship. Through their conversation we discover there are two distinct types of worship - Religious worship and Righteous worship. All worship will fall into one of these categories.

    The Identification of Worship John 4: 19-24 This is a portion of a very familiar passage of Scripture. I’m sure that most of us have heard the account of the woman at the well many times. She was a woman who was shunned and rejected by those who knew her. She was an outcast of society due to the ...read more

    Every Word From The Mouth Of God

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jan 15, 2020
     | 7,394 views

    The phrase "it is written" is used seventy-two times in the Bible and even four times when Jesus is being tempted by the devil in the wilderness. (The evil one used it once, too.) Why did Jesus and the apostles lean so heavily on Scripture? Is it really so important?

    Every Word From the Mouth of God Please stand as we read our newest memory Scripture together … 1 Peter 4:10 “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.” And our memory refresher verse(s) for today is(are) … 2 ...read more

    Fire Of The Contentious

    Contributed by Terry Laughlin on Aug 27, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,393 views

    A contentious spirit is like fire which burns up all that is good, and puts families, friends and co-workers at odds. This spirit finds a small fire of strife, kindles it and keeps feeding the issues which cause distrust, hatred or malice.

    Fire Of the Contentious The Negative Influences of a Person Who Seeks Strife The King James Bible tells us “As coals are to burning coals, and wood to a fire; So is a contentious man to kindle strife.” (Proverbs 26:21) “Contentious” (?????? ma?ôn) means to be argumentative, a person who is ...read more
