    "for Thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory forever. Amen!" Whoa! We know this is true but why is it in some Bibles and not others? Are there some Bibles that are better than others? Were errors made? Should we fight over them? Lord please help us!

    Over the last five weeks we have been taking a look at The Lord’s Prayer and today we come to the end of verse 13 which says … Matthew 6:13 “For Thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.” That is a grand statement! I love getting to that part of the ...read more

    7 Truths About the Church Ephesians 5:25-32 Introduction: What is the church? Is it a building? Is it an event? Does church begin when the doors are unlocked on Sunday morning?

    There is probably no more appropriate book in the Bible to the western church than 1 Corinthians. The early church was by no means perfect. However that is no excuse for not living a life surrendered to the sanctifying work of Christ.

    ntro: While we were in Myrtle Beach SC my wife of course wanted to go shopping. So I could spend time with here I went and actually found something that would be useful for us to think about as we begin the New Year. A little sign said cherish yesterday, dream for tomorrow, but live for today. ...read more

    God’s message of love is for all people regardless of race, culture or physical descent.

    Romans 11:1-24 Introduction: A. What, if any, place does Israel have in God’s world plan? B. This question is answered in various ways by Christians. 1.

     | 16,306 views

    This message presents an overview of the types of leaders that God wants for the church.

    George Bernard Shaw is quoted as saying, “Some people see things as they are and say why. I dream things that never were and say why not?” Many churches across America are in desperate need of visionary leadership. Leaders who refuse to settle for the way things are and are willing to press on ...read more

     | 873 views

    Are we really seeking God's truth or defending our theologies and traditions?

    The irony is that the most avid defenders of His sovereignty deny Him the right to create a plan of salvation that allows man free will to accept or reject His plan thus opposing His sovereignty. The most avid defenders of free will deny God the right to keep that which He saved until the end ...read more

    Is Official/Formal Church Membership In A Local Church According To Scripture? – Part 4 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on May 7, 2025
     | 277 views

    This is the final part and we look at a numbers of issues here as well as two statements from Internet sites on why membership is important. Over and over I am opposing this notion that commitment is connected with official membership. It is judgemental and untrue. I hope this is of some value.

    IS OFFICIAL/FORMAL CHURCH MEMBERSHIP IN A LOCAL CHURCH ACCORDING TO SCRIPTURE? – PART 4 We have been looking at some passages of scripture from Paul’s writings and in vain, do we look for even the slightest suggestion that a church has official membership that discriminates among the Christians ...read more

    If we don't handle bitterness & hostility differently than the way the world handles them, then we have not learned what it means to be a Christian.

    Words That Cause Stumbling Series

    Contributed by Ron Tuit on Sep 11, 2015
     | 3,927 views

    The word "doctrines" has almost become a "dirty word" in many Christian circles. Often times when people hear a difficult teaching, or "doctrine", they become disenchanted and at times even divisive. Jesus spoke to this tendency in John 6.

    “Words that Cause Stumbling” John 6:59-64 Last week we ended with these verses from John 6:56 "He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him. 57 "As the living Father sent Me, and I live ...read more

    How do we view others around us?

    Go through the optical illusions: (slides 1-6) The eyes can be deceiving. The brain may tell us one thing while our eyes see another. Dog: How do we respond? (7) Most of us warm to animals.
