    Easter. Have no fear, "The Lost Tomb of Jesus" documentary reinforces the resurrection of Jesus. The resurrection of Jesus is real, factual, effective. (this is short and is a summary, not a full argument)

    Note: We had a full easter musical, so this is a short sumary on the topic. For full details, google the names mentioned. If you have taken a tour of the Holy Land one of the site you probably visited is the garden tomb of Jesus. Who has been there? It is pretty fantastic isn’t it? It really is ...read more

    In this sermon we look at Paul’s arguments in 1 Corinthians 6 about the damaging effects of sexual sin. Then we discuss how to overcome sexual temptation and sin.

    Introduction: A. One Sunday morning, the preacher began his sermon by telling the congregation that he was going to say a series of words, and he wanted them to sing the song that came to mind when he said each word. 1. The first word he said was "rock" They immediately started singing "Rock of ...read more

    August 1989: We need both defensive and offensive weapons in order to be effective Christians. In the end, a strong offense, making a difference in our world, is also the best defense.

    With the opening of the Redskins season only a few days away, I really do need to get something straight, and I thought maybe I could get some help this morning. There is a rule of thumb, a maxim of football strategy, and I cannot figure out how it goes. I need some help. Is it that the best ...read more

     | 11,944 views

    In my arrogance and indignation I have said in effect, "FORGET IT LORD, I'LL DO IT MYSELF!" GOD'S TIMETABLE IS OFTEN NOT MY TIMETABLE. It is not Him that needs to change.

    Part 1 - Genesis 16:1-6 - FORGET IT! I'LL DO IT MYSELF! I remember seeing some shorts to a movie once where a millionaire agrees to pay a couple a million dollars if the wife will sleep with him for one night. What would you do? The answer to that question tests your character. Impatience is ...read more

    Jesus' resurrection does not erase suffering or its effects, but it does overcome our suffering. He engages in all the friendly actions necessary to bring about healing and hope.

    Dawn and I talk while we're driving quite often. Sometimes these turn into our best conversations. We've hashed out many of the world's worst problems in those talks. Talking during travel is one of the world's oldest past times. The Canturbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer is a record of a chat along ...read more

    Like Israel many congregations within the Body of Christ have failed to live in obedience and like Israel have had to undergo the effects of their failure and are in desperate need of revival.

    Revive Thy Work O Lord Ezra 9:4-14 Introduction: Israel had been called to be a light to the world for God. Through continued disobedience the nation brought God’s judgment upon itself. Today the church has been given that task as God’s instrument to reflect His truth. ...read more

    There are many today who are confused about Jesus. The most effective testimony in any court is an eye witness. John is an eye witness and you heard his testimony today.

    In the beginning of the church when the original apostles were teaching and planting churches, including Paul, the New Testament as we have it today had yet to be compiled. The writers of the New Testament were all first generation Jesus followers and their work would not be complete until John ...read more

    The power to effectively witness for Christ comes from dependency on the Holy Ghost, The Word and His Name as explained by Peter after the healing of the lame man at the temple gate Beautiful.

    (Act 3:16) And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.

     | 4,322 views

    It grieves the Holy Spirit when our broken, crazy, noisy world has more effect on our actions than does our experience and knowledge of the love of God.

    A couple of weeks ago I flew out to Minneapolis for just 36 hours to see my godson Ted in The Music Man. If he hadn’t skipped the cast party and come home early Thursday night I wouldn’t have gotten to see him off stage at all. But there we were, at 10:30 at night, both exhausted and happy, ...read more

    The Relevance Of Wonders

    Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Mar 23, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,421 views

    Many churches are asking why they are not growing and why their outreach efforts seem so ineffective. Evangelism is most effective when the proclamation of the gospel is accompanied by a demonstration of signs and wonders.

    Ministry and evangelism can be difficult in a country like America that holds a western worldview. The reason why is because people’s skepticism and unbelief concerning “the unseen” and “the miraculous” can limit church growth. God has bestowed on His people authority and power to see souls saved ...read more

    It is surprising, and sad, that the only testimony (in effect) on Jesus’ behalf during the trial was made, not by any of Jesus’ disciples, nor apostles, nor followers, but by Pilate’s wife.

    Pilate's Wife Matt. 27:11-26 The chief priests with the elders and scribes and the whole council of the Sanhedrin had decided to put Jesus to death. They had Jesus brought before Pilate the governor to pronounce the death sentence. (Mark 15:1; Luke 22:66; 23:1) Pontius Pilate was the fifth ...read more
