    The Devil Goes To Church Too Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Mar 21, 2019
    based on 3 ratings
     | 15,077 views

    Satan’s aim is to destroy our faith and to destroy our church. If he can destroy our faith, then we’ll destroy our church for him. And if he destroys the church, our faith will follow.

    The Devil goes to church … did you know that? He has his favorite pew. He has his favorite hymns. He loves to see a church stuck in a rut because that’s a dying church. He loves a divided church because constant conflict keeps the church distracted from what it’s supposed to be doing. He’s ...read more

    The Redeeming Word

    The Word of God is living & powerful, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul & spirit, joints & marrow, & is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

    I was watching TV the other night when a commercial came on. The narrator said these words, "We all know words have power." That got my attention. I heard that and I couldn't help wonder to myself, "Do we really?" Do we really know how powerful our words can be? Do we know ...read more

    Biblical preaching always leads to DECISION, sometimes to DISTURBANCE, and, as is the case in America today, often to DIVISION. Good applications for not worshiping Man/Pope, etc. Powerpoint at website.

    The Living God Acts 14:1-19 Powerpoint at: http://www.gbcdecatur.org/sermons/LivingGod.html We just celebrated Easter and how one claiming to be God proved it by rising again from the dead. And if John Paul II comes back to life following his death then that will be more evidence than just his ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 4,306 views

    There must come a time of godly division when we accept or reject Jesus. John, in this part of his gospel, is pushing his readers to consider their belief about Jesus.

    You may remember this Sunday as the Sunday that Church was no longer safe. (Use video camera). Once in a while, for special occasions and things, we have video taped our worship time and there has been a camera on my face up here. What would happen if we took the focus off the front of the ...read more

    Jesus prayed that we remain in unity, but from the beginning there have been divisions. What creates unity? Let’s find out in John 15:1-8.

    Discrimination and division make us sick and ill-grown church. Today, Jesus the saviour of the humanity, invites each one of us to involve ourselves wherever humanity suffers.

    Jesus will never ever unfollow you! (Twentieth Sunday in Ordinary Time) Isaiah 56:1, Isaiah 56:6-7, Romans 11:13-15, Romans 11:29-32, Matthew 15:21-28. Reflection Dear sisters and brothers, Let me start the reflection for this Sunday quoting from an article. “One case of a tragic ...read more

    Marks Of The Messenger (Part 1) Series

    Contributed by Troy Walliser on Feb 23, 2023
     | 2,261 views

    We must resolve today, as a church, as a people, as individual Christians, that we will boldly proclaim the gospel, regardless of the response, regardless of the division it brings - we will boldly proclaim it.

    Marks Of The Messenger Acts 14:1-28 Have you ever walked into a movie after it’s already started? Or perhaps you started watching a television series halfway into the season and you’ve missed a lot of the character development and plot lines that preceded that particular episode?

    Harmony And Fire

    Contributed by Joshua Blackmon on Nov 19, 2022
     | 2,339 views

    Luke 12:49-53 is paradoxical. Jesus is the Prince of Peace, but in this passage, He says He is bringing division. This sermon explores how this fits with the overall message of Luke.

    Harmony and Fire I. TEXT: Luke 12:49-53 (NRSV) “I came to bring fire to the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! 50 I have a baptism with which to be baptized, and what stress I am under until it is completed! 51 Do you think that I have come to bring peace to the earth?

    This message deals with the fact that the church belongs to God not us. The church must work together and work in unity and not allow divisiveness to enter in. My powerpoint slides used a background from a model that was built from legos.

    “Lego My Church” 1st Corinthians 3:9-16 You may have heard of the Crystal Palace Exhibition. It opened in London in 1851 and the purpose of it was to display some of the inventions of the day.

    Matthew 20:1-16 teaches God's generosity, faith and obedience, letting go of grudges and envy, and working together in God's kingdom. How can we apply this parable to our lives today?

    Introduction: Good morning, brothers and sisters. Today, I would like to share with you a message from the Word of God based on the parable of the workers in the vineyard found in Matthew 20:1-16.

    GOD told Abram to pack his belongings and to “GO to the Land I will give to you”. Abram obeyed GOD, but the journey wasn’t easy. Abram had conflict, strife, uncertainty, etc. But he remained trusting in the LORD outside of his comfort zone.

    Satan neither rests nor ceases his wickedness and intrusion into every human institution. We are not ignorant of his schemes. Here we consider Education decay, Satan’s part in Religion, the wedges of Division, and Prayer in Schools.

    WE ARE NOT IGNORANT OF SATAN’S DEVICES OR SCHEMES – PART 2 We will continue the examination of the means Satan uses to bring destruction on people and nations.

    Mary is a regrettably divisive person; some honor her too much, others not enough...yet she is one truly "blessed" and "full of grace" (Given as a Mothers Day sermon).

    Mary the mother of Jesus has regrettably become a divisive figure. Some Christians come dangerously close to worshipping her. Mary is not the “Queen of Heaven”, yet she is worthy of honor, and we should not take her willingness to serve God lightly. In an over-reaction to the ...read more

    Is God Listening?

    Prayer opens heaven’s ear and renews earth’s heart—reviving believers, healing divisions, and proving again that God still listens when His people pray.

    Dr. Ralph D. Nichols of the University of Minnesota once told of a moment every public speaker dreads. He was addressing a high-school commencement when suddenly a child began to cry. Then another joined in. A small boy galloped up and down the aisle chased by another. With sinking heart, Dr. ...read more
