    The Foolishness Of God

    Contributed by Melvin Newland on Jul 2, 2002
    based on 134 ratings
     | 20,679 views

    The world can put up with many church members with no problem at all. If you don’t make waves with your faith the world will tolerate you. You can go to church once in a while. That doesn’t bother anybody. But ...

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER CENTRAL CHRISTIAN CHURCH BROWNSVILLE, TX A. There is a familiar passage of scripture that I want us to consider this morning. It is found in 1 Corinthians 1:25. "For the foolishness of God is wiser than man’s wisdom, & the weakness of God is stronger than man’s ...read more

    Pursuing Purity In An Impure World Series

     | 32,346 views

    We can con our coworkers, fool our friends and family, play charades with church members, and even deceive ourselves, but we can’t masquerade before the Lord because He sees right through our masks.

    Pursuing Purity in an Impure World I remember seeing a cartoon that shows a pastor and his wife deep in conversation. The wife says, “Today let’s do something different. Why don’t you be charming at home and grouchy at church?” Ouch. That really doesn’t apply to me…because I’m often grouchy in ...read more

    The Godly Portrait Of Marriage, Pt. 2 Series

    based on 15 ratings
     | 4,693 views

    Can you imagine how different our marriages would be if every community, every church member, lived to bring glory to God? Men, if we set the example, I’m sure that “Desperate Housewives” would be devoted housewives!

    One day the Pastor and his friend from church were sitting on the Pastor’s porch, and the friend said, "Pastor, I’ve got something to tell you. I’ve never told this to a soul, it’s extremely difficult to tell you this now, but my wife and I have had a fight almost every day for the past 30 years of ...read more

    Sermon #4 of 6 sermons in a series entitled "I’m in!" which focuses on the ways members of a local congregation will participate in the life of the church. This one deals with stewardship issues. Ideas borrowed from Southeast Christian Church, Louisville,

    CHEERFUL GIVERS II Corinthians 9:6-15 CHCC: January 25, 2009 INTRODUCTION: So far in this series we have addressed the issues of worshipping together, studying the Bible together, and serving together.

    You Have All You Need

     | 6,392 views

    Rather than comparing ourselves to the rich man or Lazarus, congregation members are invited to see themselves through the five brothers of the rich man. Jesus’ parable reminds us we have all we need, God’s Word.

    Luke 16:19-31 Grace and Peace to you from our Lord and Savior Jesus, who is the Christ I want to start off today’s message with a little pop quiz for you.

    Finding Your Place Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on May 10, 2009
     | 5,858 views

    How do you get a sense of well being, identity and purpose? Is it by how you feel inside and how you compare to others outside? Paul gives us some wonderful advice on how to deal with this as a member of the body of Christ.

    Last time we talked about how to respond to God’s mercy—by making ourselves available to God by putting ourselves on the altar as a living sacrifice, shunning the molding of the world on our character externally, while embracing the transformation of our character internally by the presence of the ...read more

    Nit Pickers And Drop Givers

    Contributed by Rev Ken Shedenhelm on Jul 6, 2013
     | 3,144 views

    The love we sow is the love we will reap. One of the marks of the church is the love which members show to one another, We are called to love one another as Christ loves us, and Paul speaks to this in his letter to the church at Galatia.

    As Christians, we are called- even commanded- to love one another as Christ loves us. This is a daunting task, but it is also the seed we must sow. The good news is that we can do it- if we become new creations in Christ, we can show His love to others in meaningful and concrete ways. This morning, ...read more

    Way Back Into Love

    Contributed by Je Layugan on Feb 15, 2021
     | 5,316 views

    Relationship can be very complicated. Family members hate each other, siblings rival, friends unfriend each other, lovers quarrel. Christians are not exempted of these realities.  In any relationships, the key is to find your way back into love.

    # LOVE IS A PRIORITY, NOT AN ACCESSORY 1 Corinthians 13:1-3 1 If I speak (our words) in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 And if I have prophetic powers (when you operate in what God has given you), and understand all mysteries and all ...read more

    Each one of us is a member of God’s body the church. God is building His church and the gates of hell will never prevail against it. Let us stand firm on God’s promised and His faithfulness and be united as a church.

    Today, the seventh Sunday after Easter is observed by many all over the world as Pentecost Sunday to commemorate the day when the Holy Spirit of God was made manifest to the disciples and believers in the early church. In order for this to happen we read in Acts 2:1, “When the day of Pentecost ...read more

    Consequences Of Forsaking The Lord

    Contributed by Phillip Smith on Oct 11, 2025
     | 263 views

    All members of society suffer from the evils all around us. Why does God allow suffering and persecution to the righteous? Consequences for evil doings must be endured. Spiritual Blindness and Spiritual Adultery against God are some of the causes.

    Evils come upon everyone. Some believe it is a part of life. Leaders speak of these evil behaviors as nothing to be alarmed over. Murders and other vicious crimes happen daily. Many more occur at different times compared to others; perhaps more are occurring here recently. 2 Timothy 3:13. 13 But ...read more
