    What kind of salvation did people get that is supposed to take them to heaven when they die but doesn’t take them to church while they are alive?

    Psalm 27:4-One thing I have desired of the Lord, That will I seek: That I may dwell in the house of the Lord All the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the Lord, And to inquire in His temple. ************************************************************************ After attending church one ...read more

    What does it mean to serve as Christ did?

    If I were to ask you to describe yourself in one word; if I were to ask what one adjective best sums up your identity, what would you say? If you met someone for the first time, and they asked, "What are you?" how would you answer? What single term would you give in response to that question? You ...read more

    We Will Testify To Jesus No Matter What You Threaten

     | 1,051 views

    Jesus was the stone rejected by Sadducee and Pharisee alike, but His presence is the foundation stone for the Church He left behind to continue His mission.

    Saturday of Easter Week It’s remarkable that the same Sanhedrin council who, six weeks earlier, had been able to condemn Jesus to death for blasphemy, and then proceed to bribe or blackmail the Roman procurator to execute Him seems powerless in our first reading. They have brought the apostles to ...read more

    The major challenge facing people should have been what to do with all the leisure time provided by our technological advances. Instead, technology has been more of an enemy than an ally. It only enabled us to do more. Thus, most people are busier than ev

    Habakkuk wonders why God is slow in answering his prayers and why He delays in punishing Judah's evil. He is surprised that God will use the even more wicked Chaldeans as His rod of punishment.

    The God of creation is the same God we have today. All Scripture references are from the NASB.

    It is easy to say in the Sunday School environment that God is unchanging – the 50 cent theological word for that is “immutability.” But the fact that we live in an ever changing world, where quite literally everything is changing around us, whether it be knowledge, the culture, our attitudes, our ...read more

    How does a church with a sense of expectancy act

    Living in Expectation Acts 1:9-26 My daughter is reading a book that appears to be a popular book in the homes of mothers who are expecting today. It has a catchy title and I’ll bet some of you have seen it, too. It’s entitled, “What to Expect when You’re Expecting.” Isn’t that a great title? ...read more

    An attitude of envy can be a destructive force in any life. Envy is a serious danger, for it can make us unclean & unspiritual & rob us of our salvation. It is not a desirable trait to have in our lives.

    MELVIN NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK TEXT: 1 Corinthians 13:4; 1 Timothy 6:6-10 Last Sunday, in my sermon "Love Is Kind" I said, "The Apostle Paul comes close to being the composer of a great love song in ...read more

    God's Blueprint For The Church

    Contributed by Steve Hereford on Jun 29, 2007
    based on 6 ratings
     | 5,348 views

    What is the church to do? If you ask modern church growth experts they would say we are to become more appealing to reach the lost. But what does the Bible say we are to do? Join Pastor Steve as he shares "God’s Blueprint for the Church."

    John MacDuff said, "The gods of the unregenerate soul are the world, self, and sin" (Grace Gems). He’s right! But in the seeker-sensitive church those three words have been ignored. We are told that the church today needs to be "light on doctrine" (quoted in an article on the Seeker-Sensitive ...read more

    Does God Ever Withdraw His Favor?

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Mar 15, 2022
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,278 views

    There is a belief in the church that when a Born-Again Christian sins or walks in disobedience, God withdraws His favor and blessings to punish them.

    This belief is rooted in the Old Testament, where a relationship with God was conditionally based upon behavior. The Hebrew words translated as ‘favor’ are ‘ratson’ and ‘ratsah.’ The word ‘ratson’ is translated as favor, goodwill, acceptance, desire, pleasure. It most often represents God ...read more
