    Break The Cycle Of Spiritual Osmosis

    Contributed by Antonio Silveira on Jun 4, 2011
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,189 views

    Don't let anyone deceive you. Associating with bad people will ruin decent people. The Bible gives us a good indication about the effects of associating with what is called “bad people”. Some kind of Osmosis happens.

    1 Corinthians 15:33 (God’s Word Translation) Don't let anyone deceive you. Associating with bad people will ruin decent people. (New Living Translation) Don't be fooled by those who say such things, for "bad company corrupts good character.” (International Standard Version) Stop being ...read more

    The greatness of a church is not measured in how many come into the church but in how many go out in ministry. The church gathers; then the church scatters. The church must go outside its walls to reach people who need the Lord. The effectiveness of our c

    The local church at Ephesus had a rich history of strong Christian leadership from Paul, through Timothy to John. They had been very effective in keeping their doctrine pure. But, in their zeal to keep themselves doctrinally pure, they left their first l

     | 7,301 views

    Having spent much time dealing with the end times, Paul shifted his focus mid-way through the closing chapter. He sought to ensure the church developed and maintained a healthy culture in order to remain effective in the midst of trying times.

    The Heart of a Healthy Church 1 Thessalonians 5: 12-15 We are getting close to the conclusion of the first letter Paul wrote to the Thessalonian church. He has covered much with them – seeking to encourage, admonish, and challenge them in their faith. Thessalonica was not a perfect church, but ...read more

    Cold Christianity

     | 7,850 views

    I believe that today there are so many people who claim the name of Christianity who are so accustomed to the coldness of their faith, they have become relaxed in it. This morning, I want us to examine the effects of staying too long in “Cold Christianity.”

    Cold Christianity Scripture Reference: Matthew 24:4-14 Preached at Mount Zion Baptist Church on August 4, 2019 Delivered by Rev.

    Jesus has given us same assignment of the apostles, to go, to pray and witness. It may appear impossible. To be faithful we need equipped, and encouraged, empowered. I want to share how you can be equipped, empowered and effective in the greatest commission.

    Revelation is a beautiful book to close out the Holy Bible, John in time of great persecution, addresses Christians who face severe resistance and rejection. Apostles were all martyred, only John is left alive, and he’s in prison, isolated, maybe wondering what will happen, will I see this promise ...read more

     | 4,571 views

    One of the effects the Covid-19 virus has is causing faith leaders to wonder about their spiritual and civil responsibilities. Currently we find ourselves trying to stand on faith yet be responsible and obedient to the laws and those that have rule over us.

    United Leadership A message to the Leaders of the Body of Christ. By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. Prelude: - My heart is concerned about somethings I saw happening within the Body of Christ of this past weekend.

    Caricature Or Reality (Part 1)

    Contributed by John Telgren on Feb 23, 2017
     | 5,566 views

    In order to pray, worship and serve God effectively, we need to understand who he is. This begins with an understanding that he is first of all holy. Only when we get a handle on his holiness can everything else fall into place.

    Do you know what a caricature is? You see them all the time when you pick up a newspaper. You often have political cartoons where the details are not true life representations. Prominent features are often exaggerated and non-prominent features are diminished or eliminated altogether. If you go to ...read more

    Sometimes we need an analysis of how we view ourselves in order to determine if we are actually humble or not. This sermon contains an mini-quiz to that effect and also the testimony of John Piper in an article from 2010 where he was struggling with pride

    Luke 14:1-11 (read from the Bible and have congregation follow along) Luke 14:11 NIV “All those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.” Humility … humility in relationship to God comes from knowing that God is God and we are not ...read more

     | 4,015 views

    This Epistle was designed to produce pain in the Corinthian believers—and Paul felt very apprehensive about its effect on them. It was painful to him to write it, and he was well aware that it must cause deep distress among them to be scolded in this manner.

     | 10,296 views

    The devil gets to us most effectively through the gateway of our minds. On the battlefield of life we must have our heads protected to ward of our enemies deadly blows. The helmet protects our thoughts but it also perfects our thoughts.

    Intro: Do you ever think about what you think about? No. Usually we just think. Turn to a friend and tell them the last thing you thought about last night before falling asleep and the first thing you thought about this morning. Sometimes we have very little control over our thoughts; they ...read more

     | 5,673 views

    Jesus tells us not to judge: 1. Because of the boomerang effect (vs. 1-2). 2. Because of our spiritual blindness (vs. 3-5). 3. Because God wants us to bless other people (vs. 5-6).

    Why Does The Resurrection Matter To Us?

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jun 9, 2021
     | 3,664 views

    Why should we be so concerned about proving that the resurrection of Jesus really took place? Sadly, many Christians can tell you the details about the resurrection while never thinking about the way that truth effects their daily lives.

    Last Sunday we learned many of the truths about the resurrection. We all saw how the Apostle Paul proved the truth of the resurrection through the testimonies of 100s of people who saw the resurrected Christ first hand. But you might be asking, “Why does of any of it matter? Why should we be so ...read more

    End Of Your Prayer Is The Beginning Of Your Prayer Life Series

    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,312 views

    Living a prayer life is as important as the effective prayer time we have with God. Prayer is more than a ritual, it is building a relationship with the most important being in the universe. That’s why this topic is important than all other prayer teachings.

    Our prayer life is examined by our fruitfulness in life. A sponge soaked in oil when it is squeezed spills out oil, and a sponge soaked in water, when squeezed, give out water. What goes inside comes out. If through prayer you have allowed God to work out in your life, godliness and spiritual gifts ...read more
