    Priority Of Concern Series

    Contributed by Wayne Mock on Feb 4, 2011
     | 5,774 views

    People can have many priorities. Jesus expects His followers to have priorities based on His value system, not the value system of the world.

    There are many things in life about which we can be concerned. We can be concerned about the weather – when will it be warmer? We can be concerned about the economy – especially if we are being directly affected by the recession. One’s health is also a matter of concern to many people. This ...read more

    Immature and legalistic believers can be very nitpicky, so how far does God expect us to bend when we encounter these situations?

    Romans 14:11-23 Introduction: A. Where do we draw the line in being sensitive to other’s interpretations of the Bible or to their traditions when they conflict with our own? How do we handle those things the Bible is silent on? B. Do we have to change our lifestyle or beliefs on some matter ...read more

    Palm Sunday text that teaches that we must expect to encounter the risen Christ this day and even find Him in the most unlikely of places and faces.

    Why do you pray if you don’t expect God to hear and answer? Faith is the key to approaching God in a way that pleases Him.

    Jesus' entry into Jerusalem while seated on a donkey demonstrates that he is not the Messiah that the people expect. Jesus is a Messiah who comes in love and rules by love.

    Is It Really Legalism?

    Contributed by Scott Coltrain on Mar 31, 2017
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,765 views

    In many modern churches, legalism is no more than acknowledging that the Lord has given to His Church a body of legislation that He expects to be taught and obeyed.

    During my decades of Christian ministry, the terms “legalism” and “legalist” have progressively been bandied-about within modern churches and their preachers/pastors. These terms have, primarily, been used to describe and condemn those Christians and churches that believe that there is more to ...read more
