    Marriage Is Valuable, Divorce Is Dangerous

    Contributed by Scott Turansky on May 24, 2009
    based on 5 ratings
     | 4,992 views

    When asked about divorce, Jesus first speaks about the value of marriage. Then he limits divorce. Unlike our culture which does just the opposite.

    Matthew 19 – The Value of Marriage, the Dangers of Divorce Matthew 19:1-3: When Jesus had finished saying these things, he left Galilee and went into the region of Judea to the other side of the Jordan. 2Large crowds followed him, and he healed them there. 3Some Pharisees came to him to test him. ...read more

     | 7,063 views

    The early church was on fire for God, but it did have its share of problems and opposition. It was how they handled those problems that made them attractive to a lost and dying world.

    A Lesson in Divine Providence Acts 5:12-42 Introduction There was never a dull moment around First Church of Jerusalem! Pentecost came in a blaze of glory. Healings occurred around the city. There were lessons on hypocrisy. The wave of power was building within the Church to a great ...read more

    Faith And Fear

    Contributed by Don Baggett on Nov 30, 2007
    based on 3 ratings
     | 10,816 views

    The opposite of faith is fear. Fear is the fruit of unbelief, and it opens the door of your life to the devil. Sixty three times in the Bible, the Lord used the phrase, “Fear not.”

    Faith opens the door of your life to God. Ephesians 2:8 says that our salvation is comes by God’s grace, through our faith. No one could honestly study the ministry of Jesus upon this earth and miss the fact that He honored people’s faith. Hebrews 13:5 says, “Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 182 views

    Believers don't have to struggle for Divine protection against the enemy and Satanic opposition, but rather strife to ensure that they remain faithful with the Lord at all times.

    If God Be for Us, Who Can Be Against Us Study Text: Romans 8:31 Introduction: - Paul’s triumphant question is not denial of opposition; it is declaration of divine advantage. - Enemies may arise, challenges may persist, but when God is for a person, the outcome is settled in his favour. - ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 90 views

    Following Jesus means trusting God’s timing, standing firm amid misunderstanding and opposition, and finding courage to remain faithful despite pressure from others.

    If you’ve ever felt the sting of skepticism, the squeeze of expectations, or the chill of criticism, you’ll feel the temperature of John 7. Picture the scene: the streets of Jerusalem hum with the Feast of Booths. Families build shelters, memories mingle with meals, and whispers chase rumors ...read more

    Contributed by Freddy Fritz on Aug 12, 2004

     | 8,160 views

    Did Christ in fact descend into hell? This sermon examines the origin of the phrase "he descended into hell" in the Apostles’ Creed, possible biblical support for the phrase, and the biblical opposition to the descent of Christ into hell.

    Introduction As we continue our series in The Apostles’ Creed I would like to examine today what it means when we say that “he descended into hell.” Please listen as I recite the Apostles’ Creed: I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth.

     | 6,072 views

    One of the most enduring images from The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is the Lamp-Post. This sermon uses that image as a springboad into the theme of light in the story of redemption.

    The Light of the Lamp-Post Selected Texts “Not for me” said Peter; “I’m going to explore in the house.” Everyone agreed to this and that was how the adventures began… And shortly after that they looked into a room that was quite empty except for one big wardrobe; the sort that has a ...read more

    If Paul was willing to endure hardship, face death, and live with risk, perhaps there are some small steps we might take to give everything for the gospel.

    Living on the Edge July 16, 2006 II Corinthians 6:1-13 Some years ago, I remember presiding at the funeral of one of the older ladies of the church.
