    Living God's Way

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,292 views

    Living in accord with God's commandments not mans rules.

    "You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men. "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a ...read more

    Two

    Jesus, with pinpoint, laser-like clarity cuts through all the red tape and fine print and says there are two pinnacle principles that serve as the hinge pins on which the kingdom swings.

    Two I. Introduction Do you ever think about the type of person Jesus was? I am talking about personality wise. When we think about each other that is what we do . . . mild, direct, intense, aloof, or warm. But when we think about Jesus we often stop at thinking about who He was and not what He was ...read more

    The church faces many difficulties and obstacles while serving the Lord. While these are unavoidable, we do not have to allow them to defeat us. We must maintain our focus on the Lord and follow the vision He has provided.

    A Vision of Purpose Ephesians 3: 20-21 The church at Ephesus was dear to Paul. His ministry among them spanned three years. The church there began with just twelve believers (Acts 19:7), but through faithful effort they experienced amazing growth. Knowing the success in Ephesus, Paul desired them ...read more

    The Power Of The Blood

    Contributed by Jerry Flury on Aug 30, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 14,862 views

    A scarlet thread runs through the Bible teaching this most central truth that there is power in the blood of the Lamb of God. Redemption, forgiveness, sanctification, accessibility, and victory through His blood for those who receive His sovereign grace.

    The Power of the Blood 1 Peter 1:18-23 Many like the French philosopher Voltaire and President John Adams are critical of biblical Christianity calling it a “bloody religion” or "a religion of gore" because of its teachings and emphasis on the power of the blood of the Lord Jesus ...read more

    The persecuted church in Philadelphia is part of the true Israel

    Unto the Church in Philadelphia, Write Revelation 3:7-13 Introduction Philadelphia was the sixth church which Jesus addresses in Revelation. It was noted for its rich volcanic soil which was good for the raising of grapes. But the presence of volcanic soil also meant that the area was subjected to ...read more

    Going For Life Change

     | 6,537 views

    The Pharisees did not experience life change because they had a different belief. Don't replace the relationship with a religion. Don't make the outward more important than the inward.

    RECAP – John 20:24-28. We saw last week how Thomas finally saw Jesus alive and uttered the most profound statement of faith – “My Lord and My God!” (1) LET GO of our Agenda – don’t cling on to the demands we set. (2) CHOOSE to have faith - faith is a choice ...read more

    God chose that through Isaac and not Ishmael that Christ would be born.

    The Life of Abraham, Part 14: Isaac Shall Be Heir Genesis 21:8-21 Introduction The birth of Isaac was a time of great joy. But the birth of Isaac also would have important implications. I would suppose that Hagar and Ishmael rejoiced in the birth as well, at least outwardly. But is would not be ...read more

    Making Sense Of The “sinses” Series

    Contributed by Guy Glass on Jun 26, 2015
     | 3,921 views

    WHEN WE CONCLUDED OUR LOOK AT THE END OF PHILIPPIANS CHAPTER ONE LAST WEEK, WE NOTICED THAT PAUL WAS APPEALING FOR OUR ONENESS AS FOLLOWERS OF CHRIST. HE OPENS CHAPTER TWO WITH FOUR REASONS WHY WE SHOULD LIVE IN HARMONY – CLOSE HARMONY WITH EACH OTHER.

    MAKING SENSE OF THE “SINSES” PHILIPPIANS 2:1-2 PHILIPPIANS 1:27-2:2 ONLY CONDUCT YOURSELVES IN A MANNER WORTHY OF THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST, SO THAT WHETHER I COME AND SEE YOU OR REMAIN ABSENT, I WILL HEAR OF YOU THAT YOU ARE STANDING FIRM IN ONE SPIRIT, WITH ONE MIND STRIVING TOGETHER FOR ...read more

    Can The Dead Hear?

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Jan 12, 2015
     | 6,136 views

    When the heart goes out of our faith, then the life goes out of our church. A vital congregation has its source in God.

    Nobody wants to be a part of a dead church. Not even Jesus! In the last book of the Bible, the book of Revelation, we find Jesus speaking to the church in a city called Sardis, and you know what he says? He says: “I know your works; you have a name [for] being alive, but [actually] you are ...read more

    Rubbing People The Wrong Way

     | 5,747 views

    Jesus asks us the same question he asked Peter long ago at the shore of the Sea of Galilee; namely “Do you love me?” What he is really asking is “Do you love me more than anyone or anything else?

    There was once an evangelist named Billy Sunday. He was the Billy Graham of his generation. He was conducting a crusade in a particular city, and in one sermon he said something critical of labour conditions for workers in that city. After the service, several businessmen sent him a message which ...read more

    Conflict Resolution God’s Way

    based on 3 ratings
     | 8,581 views

    If we remember the words of Jesus, especially when we are in conflict with our fellow man, we will change the world. Loving our neighbour fulfills any and every other divine command, for genuine love does no harm to its neighbour.

    There was a church where the pastor and the minister of music were not getting along. As time went by, this began to spill over into the worship service. The first week the pastor preached on commitment and how we all should dedicate ourselves to the service of God. The music director led the song, ...read more

    Paul gets a clear vision of Christ and abandon all that he was for (1) a Personal Knowledge of Christ (2) a Personal Position in Christ (3) the Personal Power of Christ (4) a Personal Perfection in Christ (5) a Personal Possession of Christ.

    Subject: Five Pressing Desires Text: Philippians 3:1-15 Introduction: Paul, who is the writer of our text, provides a plan for the Philippians Church as they move forward to become the best that they could be for Christ. Rather than be complacent with where they were, they needed to set their ...read more

    Is Jesus What You Expected?

    based on 2 ratings
     | 8,662 views

    Jesus' sermon in his hometown synagogue might not have gone as you would expect. But Jesus shows us that his Word is sometimes welcomed, other times rejected, but ALWAYS powerful.

    Expectations. “Do you really think that we’re going to get all that snow that they say we’re supposed to get?” “Have you heard about the frigid temperatures that are predicted?” “Do you think that they’ll cancel school?” The expectations, the anticipation and the excitement was hard to escape. ...read more
