    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Oct 4, 2018
    based on 5 ratings
     | 13,899 views

    Does the Bible prohibit women from being pastors and teachers in the church? Does the Bible say that women can only teach other women and children? Let's try to figure it out.

    If you would, please stand as we say together our memory Scripture for this quarter: Matthew 6:31-33 “Do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. “But ...read more

  • The Whole Counsel Of God

    Contributed by Timothy Shumer on Jun 14, 2003
    based on 7 ratings
     | 4,491 views

    In Acts 20, when Paul gives his farewell address to the Ephesian elders, we really see his heart as a pastor. What was driving him? Being aware of the necessity of being God’s "watchman." How did he accomplish this? "For I have not shunned to declare unto

    Contributed by Sean Harder on Nov 23, 2010
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,779 views

    When we realize that we need nothing anymore, that God has provided everything we really need, we can show our thanksgiving to God by living for Him and helping other people find the giver of life. Like the 24 elders who get off their throne and fall down

    Today we again have a little interlude from all the horror of the judgments. Thankfully God gives us these little breathers throughout Revelation because it is so intense. This is Thanksgiving weekend, and of course we should be the most thankful people of all knowing that we have a saviour that ...read more

  • Miracles For Moses Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Oct 31, 2021
    based on 5 ratings
     | 9,959 views

    God gave Moses 3 miracles to convince the Israelites God had sent him. But these miracles seem (to me) to be fairly unimpressive - a little like "parlor tricks." Why would God ask Moses to use them to convince the Elders of Israel that God had sent him?

    (Sing) “I believe for every drop of rain that falls, a flower grows. I believe that somewhere in the darkest night, a candle glows. I believe for everyone who goes astray, someone will come to show the way. I believe, I believe. I believe above the storm the smallest pray'r will still be heard. ...read more

     | 10,744 views

    What should a Pastor do when he has failed to preach a great sermon? Many Pastors feel guilty, depressed, or discouraged. Some men will even seek a transfer to another church. One man said, ``I have grown to dread preaching, I try to get my elders to prea

     | 1,706 views

    The Prodigal Son has gone away, and has come home again. The Loving Father has permitted him to go, but has watched and waited and welcomed him home again with celebration. Now the Elder Brother wonders why. How could God love like that? Is this really how God loves?

    Lent 4—March 22, 1998 "Openness" Luke 15 1,2; 11-32 A Picture, A Story The sun has already set and daylight has mostly faded and gone. The big house is dimly outlined between tall old trees against the fading glow in the sky. But there is light piercing out into the darkness from the ...read more

  • Still In The Beginning!

    Contributed by Bob Soulliere on Feb 24, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 2,291 views

    For us to continue in the love God has shown us we must pass that love on to others. In Acts 6 we see love being passed on even before there were Elders in the church. In Acts 6 we see the church moving on a road map God had laid out for the new group o

    Still in the Beginning! Back in Dec. I started a series of messages about being in a new beginning, and we still are. We have fallen short of goals we set but not in the spirit of which we set them. Weather, sickness, vacations, travel and priorities have slowed us down. Yes even discouragement has ...read more

    This message provides insight on the current crisis in America, then expounds Philippians 2:25-30. Paul's commendation of Epaphroditus supplies criteria for discerning godly New Testament leadership.

    During the last few weeks our pattern has been to first address current events; then proceed with our study in Philippians. I will continue with that this morning. I. We are living in monumental times. It is a new season with new challenges and new opportunities. Charles Dicken’s line in A Tale ...read more

  • Can A Deacon Deac? Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Sep 19, 2010
    based on 50 ratings
     | 37,357 views

    The Bible tells us very little about what Deacons were and what they did. And when these men do their jobs correctly they can become the most important leaders in the Church. What should a deacon do? And how does he become so important to God?

    OPEN: Back in 1964 Leicester Hemingway (the little brother of author Ernest Hemingway) made a decision. He was tired of following the rules of human governments and so he decided create his own kingdom.

  • Sermon # 43- No Room For Self-Righteousness Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jan 22, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 296 views

    Self-righteous Jonah rejoiced over a plant that gave him shade, but had not compassion on the people of Nineveh who genuinely repented of their sins. There’s no room for self-righteousness, as all of us are sinners saved by God's grace alone.

    We read in Jonah 4:6, “Then the LORD God made a plant grow up over Jonah to give him some shade, so that he would be more comfortable. Jonah was extremely pleased with the plant.” (GNB) As we studied the life of Jonah there are numerous lessons that we have picked up, both for our personal lives, ...read more

  • Growing Deeper Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jan 11, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 5,836 views

    We're at war with Satan, but too often churches ignore the conflict and avoid doing what has to be done to tear down the gates of Hell. What can we do to avoid going AWOL in this great battle for the souls of the lost?

    When I went to Israel, I visited a place about 25 miles north of the Sea of Galilee called Caesarea Philippi. The area lays in the shadow of Mt. Hermon, whose ice caps (when they melt) supply clean fresh springs for the waters of the Jordan River. This abundant water supply made the area fertile ...read more

  • A Runaway Is Found, A Poor Decision Is Exposed

    Contributed by Gregory Fisher on Jul 16, 2018
     | 7,932 views

    Abram and Sarai are desperate for an heir. So desperate, in fact, that they are willing to try anything...and, do. As life spins out of control the impact of their poor choices affects more than just their own relationship. But, God shows up as a searching and seeking God.

    A Runaway Is Found, A Poor Decision Is Exposed, And Faithful People are Tested. Text: Genesis 16: 1-16 16 Sarai, Abram’s wife, hadn’t yet produced a child. She had an Egyptian maid named Hagar.

  • Greatness Through Servanthood Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Nov 8, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,411 views

    The Bible talks less about what makes a great leader than it does about what makes a great servant. What is it about God's leaders that requires them to be servants of others?

    Today we are putting a man's name into consideration as a future Elder. I hadn't actually planned a sermon on Eldership (the sermon series I'm preaching through is something I'm working with other preachers on) but the text seemed to be a good groundwork for understanding what ...read more
