    Purging The Dross Series

    Contributed by D Marion Clark on Apr 26, 2016
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,914 views

    In light of God’s Word, we need to examine how well we are doing in the area not only of providing care for the needy, but of defending their cause and seeing that their voice is heard.

    Isaiah 1:21-26 Purging the Dross 7/9/00 D. Marion Clark Introduction What we come to the Bible for is content. We value the Bible for what it has to reveal to us from God. But then there are times when you just can help but admire the way it is written. Isaiah is the acclaimed writer among ...read more

    Christians need John the Baptist’s " . . . and fire" to burn out the dross of unrighteousness.

    “And fire” The most frustrating struggle - superficial Christians. The most worrisome item - carnal Christians. The greatest challenge - a generation that knows not God. The answer to every one of those items is found in a single key statement of John the Baptist preaching - “Holy Ghost and ...read more

    The psalmist's love, trust and hope is in the Word of God, but he knows that not all people's heart and life are so devoted to God. The psalmist thus reflects upon those who reject God's Word.

    PSALM 119: 113-120 [The Ministry of The Word Series] REJECTING OR ACCEPTING THE WORD / TRUST AND TREMBLE [1 Corinthians. 3:11–15] The psalmist's love, trust and hope is in the Word of God, but he knows that not all people's heart and life are so devoted to God. The psalmist thus ...read more

    Decision Time

    Contributed by Michael Adams on Nov 22, 2018
     | 5,284 views

    This is a revival message, getting the Church right with God. We are in the last days and it is time the Church starts being the Church. Too many churches are going through the motions. They have zero outreach in their own communities. Oh they give to foreign missions but do nothing at home.

    Joshua 24: Decision Time This is a message that everyone here tonight will make a decision. Though it may never be made public God will know your decision. He will know if you as an individual will serve him and if this church, as a whole, will serve him. The word serve is used 413 times ...read more

    The Refiner’s Fire

     | 4,583 views

    In this passage, Ezekiel described the Babylonian exile as being the crucible in which Israel was melted down, and the godly (the silver) were separated from the unrighteous (the dross). The purpose of the refiner's fire is spiritual purification.

    I wish to begin our message with an illustration: There was a dedicated Christian woman who once visited a tourist attraction, which happened to be a working replica of a pioneer village; and one of the manned displays she observed was a silversmith shop. The woman watched the silversmith as he ...read more

    I beleive we need the gift of prohecy above all others in these times, for worshiping in spirit and trurth, for building the church up, fro bringing the holy fire to burn away the dross and to unleash rivers of living waters to our dying nations too peopl

    So what is a prophet? To many people the term prophets conjures up a vision of an weathered haggard person with a more than slightly, no very wild look in their eyes.

    We do not easily submit to all this burning up of dross within us. We do not want to be buried with Christ in his cross and alive with Christ in His resurrection. We naturally resist the death of self. Yet God helps us submit to the refiner's fire.

    Many great saints I’ve known, even in the Salvation army, many are retiring now, and they say that when they retire, they are grateful that God did not show them the entire path all the ups and downs because they would not have been able to handle the thought of it. But step by step, along the ...read more

    The prophet Malachi wrote that the Lord would send his messenger of the covenant, and asks, "who can stand when he appears? For he is like a refiner's fire and like fullers' soap." What is the answer to Malachi's question?

    THE REFINER’S FIRE Malachi 3:1-6 I. Introduction – Malachi says that at his appearing Jesus will be like a refiner’s fire, or launderer’s soap. The Israelites had a question, not unlike a question we might ask. Our main text is in answer to a question from the Israelites: Mal 2:17 - You have ...read more

    Peter had to have the hell burnt out of him. He underwent a process of purgation - the purging of sin. There is nothing redeeming about sin. If you need a good list of what sin is - this is the sermon.

    we are in the third week of a series called “eternity is now in session.” Essentially worth talking about the fact that eternal life doesn’t begin “out there” when we get to heaven, it begins now in God’s purpose is to get heaven into us. It starts with following him. Leaving behind all other ...read more

    God demands holiness and perfection from his children. As saints of God, believers must strive to constantly abide in God's presence and depend wholly on him to attain perfection.

    TEXT: 1 Peter 5:10 "But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you."
