    The Politically Incorrect Message For Wives

    Contributed by Paul Fritz on Jun 16, 2008
    based on 27 ratings
     | 4,138 views

    In Eph. 5:33 there is one command for men - love, but twelve directives for women to respect their husbands. Even if this is an unpopular passage it must be preached.

    The Politically Incorrect Message for Wives (Eph. 5:33) One old church member said, "There are two sides to every question in our household: My wife’s side and the wrong side." Or as one man said, "The average man lays down the law and then accepts his wife’s ammendments." Yet, let us take ...read more

    As terrible a thing it would be to have received God’s grace in vain how much worse to have never sought to accept the gift at all!

    Our Knowledge of Grace 11/02/08 AM Text: Hebrews 13:25 INTRODUCTION: The hymn we just sang “Amazing grace” captures a concept that conveys wonderful hope and comfort to the Christian.

    no matter who we feel about others, in the Kingdom of God, we need each other

    A person has only one body, but it has many parts. Yes, there are many parts, but all those parts are still just one body. Christ is like that too. Some of us are Jews and some of us are not; some of us are slaves and some of us are free. But we were all baptized to become one body through one ...read more

     | 8,354 views

    There is really one answer to a divided church and that is THE CROSS. It is the cross that reveals the love of God.

    Up to this point in the first chapter of 1 Corinthians we have been discussing the divided church. There is really one answer to a divided church and that is THE CROSS. So that is our focus this evening. Paul emphasizes in verse 17 that words of human wisdom are not the answer for a divided ...read more

    Preaching Of The Cross

    Contributed by Phillip Smith on May 24, 2024
     | 1,061 views

    The Apostle Paul said he was not an elegant speaker; he did not desire to use flattering words to draw attention to the cross. It is a shame too many preachers today feel they must use flattery or jokes to attract or keep an audience.

    I have heard many preachers over the span of my life. My father said they began attending church assemblies on Easter just a few days after my birth. Over sixty years have I been in an assembly hearing preaching. Think about the number of years and the many preachers you have heard. You have heard ...read more

    God’s grace offers healing and new life to discouraged, sinful hearts—not by our efforts, but by looking in faith to Christ, our only remedy.

    Some of us walked in today with sand in our souls. The week felt long, the road uneven. You’ve prayed, but the words sounded thin. You’ve tried to keep a sunny outlook, but the clouds rolled in anyway. Discouragement can be a quiet snake in the grass—one nip of cynicism, a bite of bitterness, and ...read more
