Lesson 32. In Physical Needs (James 5:14-15) Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Apr 3, 2021

I will attempt to show from 1 Corinthians 12:9[1] and 28[2] and Galatians 3:5[3] that gifts of healings were intended for the church in Paul’s day and our day. However, the New Testament does not talk about THE gift of healing.

Lesson Text – James 5:14-15 (NKJV) 14. Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. 15.

On Membership Part Two Series

Contributed by Ken Mckinley on Jul 17, 2023

the Bible clearly teaches that Christians are members of the Body of Christ. But is local church membership Biblical? We examine this in this study. This is not a typical sermon, but more of a Bible study lesson for our congregation.

In doing some serious study on membership and what that looks like in the Church at a local level one encounters a potential problem. It just isn’t there. That’s not to say it is bad, wrong, or sinful to have formal membership rolls, as having such is very practical and quite helpful to local ...read more

False Security

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Dec 4, 2023

Their white garments, and golden crowns seem to indicate that these 24 represent the redeemed. The question is which redeemed? Not Israel because they aren’t saved until near the end. Not the unsaved because that happens after the 7 year tribulation.
