    Break The Cycle Of Spiritual Osmosis

    Contributed by Antonio Silveira on Jun 4, 2011
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,998 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

    What has Christ called us to do as a church and as individuals who are part of the church? How can we be more effective at fulfilling what Jesus calls us to do not only with our words, but by living our life in obedience to Him?

    The Great Commission Matthew 28:18-20 Slide Intro During the month of November we focus several weeks on missions. We heard last week from Craig Parro from Leadership Resources, one of the missions we support. They do a great work in training up pastors and leaders around the world to preach ...read more

    Jesus tells of 3 servants who were given valuable "talents". Why was the Master in this parable pleased with the first two servants, but angry with the 3rd? And how did the "value" of those talents effect the decisions of each of those three men?

    based on 15 ratings

    He was ROAD WORKER AND A PROPHET. He knew the road ahead. Jesus described him as "MORE THAN A PROPHET". What is he getting at? He goes on to describe him in effect as a council ROAD WORKER, PREPARING THE ROAD for Jesus to come.

    Part 3 - Matthew 11:7-11 - THE GREATEST ROADWORKER WHO EVER LIVED! My sister and her husband Pete are on a holiday working their way through OUTBACK PLACES in Australia.

    The fact of Christ’s soon return should have a great effect on the manner of our behaviour and perspective in life. Knowing that nothing on earth is permanent; that this is not our real home should dissuade us from materialism which leads a soul astray.

    Prayer Of Rest Series

    Contributed by Paul Green on Jul 14, 2009
    based on 34 ratings
     | 17,125 views

    Rest is not only vital to our spiritual lives, it is imperative if we are to be effective. Through the prayer of rest, God places his children in the eye of the storm. When all around us is chaos and confusion, deep within we know stability and serenity

    The Prayer of Rest Matthew 11:25-30 The story is told of a lady who became very angry at the pastor. When she finally caught up with him, she said, "I called you all morning at the church and dropped by to see you in the afternoon on Tuesday and you were not there."

    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

    "Little" Israel Vs "Monster" Global Terrorism???

     | 2,671 views

    Rather than focusing on "Little" Israel's effective, pro-active methods in neutralizing the terror threat in it's land, this message dwells on the theme of it being a "source" (John 4:22) of a greater victory over a far more dangerous problem...SIN!!!

    Gaal Driven Out Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Mar 21, 2020
     | 2,200 views

    There is nothing surprising about what is related here. The drunken celebration of the previous night had left Gaal and his men both mentally and physically unprepared for any kind of effective military activity, and Abimelech and his army easily defeated them.

    Chapter 43 Gaal Driven Out [Judges 9.34-9.41] Scripture: Judges 9:34-41 (KJV) 34 And Abimelech rose up, and all the people that were with him, by night, and they laid wait against Shechem in four companies. 35 And Gaal the son of Ebed went out, and stood in the entering of the gate of the ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,460 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.

    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.”

    Humility 2016 Part 2

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on May 4, 2016
     | 3,480 views

    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

    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.

    Why Does The Resurrection Matter To Us?

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jun 9, 2021
     | 3,514 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

    This promise is for believers in Jesus Christ. In effect, Paul says that if you don’t LOVE God, you can’t claim this promise. If you don’t LOVE God, everything isn’t someday going to work out for “Good”.
