    This passage presents the seven elements of unity for every church.

    Introduction What is it that unites the Christian church? Is it what verses 2 and 3 have already spoken of? Is it humility, gentleness, patience, forbearance? Is it love?

    We choose darkness, but could choose light in our morality and our language. To choose darkness is to injure ourselves and others.

    Takoma Park Baptist Church, Washington, DC January 25, 1987 For a number of years I have made it a habit to get up at five o’clock; yes, that’s five in the morning. I’ve made it my habit as a part of my set of personal disciplines, because I find that I can get at a number of ...read more

    How much does love really matter in truth telling?

    Introduction It is a simple phrase, a brief phrase, one in which, if it had been omitted, would not have been missed.

  • The Old Self Series

    Contributed by D Marion Clark on Nov 15, 2010
     | 4,365 views

    We cannot go back to the old self, and no where is the distinction between the old self and the new self found than in the area of sexuality.

    Walking in Christ involves three activities - putting off the old self, having the mind renewed, and putting on the new self. What does this look like?

    Introduction How important is what you wear? The answers may range from “it makes no difference at all” to “you are what you wear.” Wherever you stand in the scale of opinion, what you wear does make a statement of what you think, at least about clothing. Our Scripture ...read more

    Verses 25-29 give practical examples of our duties in the new life.

Early Baptists were known as law-breakers. Shurden writes, "They broke the laws in England and they broke the laws in America. And they broke ...read more
