     | 1,833 views

    Let the angels do their work, but beware of the "angel of light" who is spreading error in Jesus' name.

    Colossians 2:18 Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, 19 And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ...read more

    Ordering My Steps In His Word

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Jan 6, 2024
     | 5,742 views

    Every January many of us make decisions to change our lives in the upcoming year. For me, this year will be a re-emphasis on ordering my life according to God's Word.

    I’ve been thinking about this year and the plans that the Lord has on the drawing board for me and for you. I understand clearly that He has a plan for me, I also understand that He can’t “download” the plan into my spirit, and ultimately, my life if I am not ready to receive it and walk in it. ...read more

    Beyond The Upper Room: The Proclamation Of The Church

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 8, 2023
     | 1,457 views

    This message gives a survey of the events leading up to Pentecost and the command from the Lord Jesus to preach the Gospel to everyone. This is an adaptation of a message from the 1995 edition of the Zondervan's Pastor's Annual. It needed no update, for the Word of God is eternal.

    The disciples were made up of men who had been called from their chosen professions to follow Jesus of Nazareth. Having left all, it must have seemed to them that at the crucifixion of Jesus they had lost all. Following the admonition of their Lord, whom they saw disappear into the clouds, they ...read more

    There is tremendous pressure for us to abandon the teachings that have been handed down to us from Jesus and the apostles. The pressure comes from our society in general, which has become so liberal and atheistic. And Paul warns that it can even come from inside the church.

    This sermon looks at the nature of true passion for Jesus which involves suffering. The doctrine of suffering is covered with the teaching of the Apostle Peter on suffering being referred to.

We must ’arm ourselves with the same mind’ - that is a mind that joyfully endures suffering for the sake of God’s ...read more

    When God’s people fail to practice kindness, they fail to be God’s people. Unkindness is as unChristlike as any doctrinal error. Love is kind.

    Christ delivers a message to those who are Christian in name only. Being neither zealous for good works nor orthodox in their doctrine, they are lukewarm and sickening to Christ.

    George Barna makes a living through surveys. What makes him unique is that his surveys are on exclusively Christian topics. Although he does poll populations at large, he also does polling on those who profess to be Christian. For millennia, there have been standard benchmarks of orthodoxy. Yet, as ...read more
