    Parable Of The Good Samaritan Series

    Contributed by L Lee on Sep 15, 2010
     | 6,675 views

    Are we being the good neighbor that God wants us to be?

    Parable of the good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37) On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. "Teacher," he asked, "what must I do to inherit eternal life?" {26} "What is written in the Law?" he replied. "How do you read it?" {27} He answered: "'Love the Lord your God with all your ...read more

    The Place Of The Skull – The Scarcity Of Essentials (7/12) Series

     | 2,472 views

    We are living unprecedented times. We ask ourselves what would Jesus do? This good question can be misleading. Rather we should ask, what did Jesus do? He was born into an era of injustice, violence and pain. He was the victim of abuse and injustice. What did He do?

    Message by Gabi Faria Introduction It is my understanding that you have been in a message series called a Reflection on the 12 stations of the cross. Just last week my sister preached (worship leader preaching, preacher can’t sing, my voice would disconnect our network with Jesus!) on the Via ...read more

    A Personal And Purposeful Peace

    Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Oct 12, 2020
     | 3,320 views

    Jesus gives personal and purposeful peace. See how Jesus did that for his disciples on Easter evening and continues to do so to this day.

    Last week we met two of Jesus’ followers on their way from the city of Jerusalem to a village named Emmaus which was about a 7 mile roundtrip. If you missed that message, you can go back and listen to it. It was Easter afternoon when those two disciples decided to leave Jerusalem. There were ...read more

    If I believe in my heart that Jesus’ return is real soon, then I have an obligation as your pastor to instruct you as to how the Bible says we should live as we approach the end

    Introduction I don’t think I am wrong when I say that this generation has moved further away from God than other generation in modern history. And because of that my view regarding the timing of the end times has changed. When I first got here at Bala Chitto in 1994, I believed with all my heart ...read more

    Cut It Out

    Contributed by Jeff Hatos on May 29, 2019
     | 3,235 views

    What should we do when confronted by those who say a particular part of the Bible is wrong? Do we defend that area or cut that part out of the Bible?

    Cut It Out 2 Timothy 3:14-17 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; And that from a child thou hast known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. ...read more

    Examining the heart of a cheerful giver

    A CHEERFUL GIVER. Our theme verse for this series is 2 CORINTHIANS 9:7 which says that God loves [delights in and is honored by] a cheerful giver. Therefore this series is not only to learn what God’s Word teaches us about what to give but in how to give as well. My prayer is that as ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 3,942 views

    Why is the Book of Mormon not the word of God?

    The book of Mormon is a book that claims to tell the history of 3 groups of people from ancient America, two groups, the Nephites and the Lamanites, that came from the city of Jerusalem around 600bc before the Babylonians destroyed the city. The third group, the Jaredites supposedly came from the ...read more

    Grace or Law? What did Jesus do with the Law and what, if any, obligation do we have to it today?

    Good Morning! Today we will be looking at Matthew 5:17-20 as we continue our series RED: Teachings From the Words of Jesus.

    God’s Healing Mercy

    based on 1 rating
     | 6,904 views

    The key to getting healed or unstuck in our lives is to do what God tells us to do-even if it doesn’t make sense. We must listen to God’s instructions in our hearts. We must find them in his word. There will be something that God will want us to do.

    Jesse spotted Meagan through the window of a café, squeezing lemon into her glass of water. For a couple of minutes, he watched. The restaurant had a retro look, a throwback to diner days with soda counters and silver-rimmed tables. Two men in an adjacent booth said something to her; she ignored ...read more

    Compassion is an essential element for a Christian. No compassion is equal to hate, which might be equal to murder.

    Compassion: Without it you are Guilty of Hate Kelly Durant I Jn 3:14-18 Compassion is sympathy for the suffering and a desire to help! Do something! They say that giving a beggar a piece of bread is a civil duty, but to give him a bread with butter on it, now that is compassion! Compassion is a ...read more

    Are You Plugged In?

    This message was given in a very public setting when our church met on a Sunday morning, not in our building, but at the local public park, inviting all at the park to join us in worship.

    Did you notice and really comprehended the words of the songs we sang earlier? All these songs dealt with seeking and longing to touch and to connect and be used by and with Jesus. Do we long to be with Him? To we seek to be connected with the Almighty? Do we really have power to live the life the ...read more

    The Solid Truth Concerning Salvation

     | 2,819 views

    Faithful servants of Jesus Christ like the apostle Paul and those who have followed him over the centuries were obedient to His call to proclaim the gospel despite hardships and opposition. We are to be just as faithful to the LORD in proclaiming the Gospel message as they had been.

    At the end of the book of Acts, the apostle Paul is under house arrest in Rome awaiting a hearing from Caesar at his request. He is to appear before Nero and give an account of his work, teaching, and testimony concerning the Lord Jesus Christ and the salvation from sin He provides to all ...read more
