    Through Small Group Bible Study Series

    Contributed by Tim Smith on May 28, 2015
     | 5,245 views

    We are to order our priorities around those of Jesus and arrange our lives in the example of Jesus. The challenge of doing this in the face of the world is monumental to say the least. The answer to living the life Jesus calls us to live in small groups

    Small Groups James 5:16, Hebrews 3:13-14 When I graduated from seminary and moved back to New Orleans, my best friend from college called me and invited me to go to a restaurant on Old Metairie Road where they had installed a sand volleyball court.

    One of the hardest struggles we as believers face is the illusion that God is silent and passive, even though it seems like this is the case so very often. But he works on what we might call “Yahweh Time.”

    Yahweh Time (Isaiah 64:1-12) 1. Can you be on those perennial late persons and still succeed in life? 2. A British man named Steve Cleary was in his early 50's, retired from the Royal Navy, and had started a second career. However, he just couldn't seem to get to work on time.

    Comedian Mark Lowry wrote what has now become a classic Christmas song entitled Mary, Did You Know. This message answers his question that yes, Mary did know that her son was the face of God.

    Mary, You Did Know! Luke 1: 39 – 56 The big news this week has been The Voice finals. Yes, a young man by the name of Jordan Smith captured America’s attention (and their votes) with a stirring rendition of the now classic Christmas song Mary, Did You Know. Smith closed the ...read more

    At a point during the cause of our lives we are faced with situations that are overwhelming. We find ourselves in a place where it seems we are stagnated, we are not making progress. We feel that we need help and assistance which is not forthcoming.

    AUTHOR: BOLA FOLAKEMI PRAISE JOHN 5: 1-11 “Some time later, Jesus went up to Jerusalem for one of the Jewish festivals. Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool, which in Aramaic is called Bethesda and which is surrounded by five covered colonnades. 3 Here a great number of disabled ...read more

    Today, our world is facing a terrible disaster and too many Christians are running in the wrong direction. I believe that it is time to become "spiritual first res-ponders" and start running toward the disaster. Thanks to Pastor Ben Gutierre

    “GO HOME” Mark 7: 4 When we see disasters, on the news, we most often remember the masses of people running FROM the disaster. But we also notice those who are running toward the trouble. We see the first res-ponders who rush in or people rushing home to do what they can to save their ...read more

    When God is about to do significant things for you or through you, you’ll face significant opposition. Every door that God will open for you won’t come that easy; it will bring an avalanche of spiritual attack with it.

    The church faces many difficulties and obstacles while serving the Lord. While these are unavoidable, we do not have to allow them to defeat us. We must maintain our focus on the Lord and follow the vision He has provided.

    A Vision of Purpose Ephesians 3: 20-21 The church at Ephesus was dear to Paul. His ministry among them spanned three years. The church there began with just twelve believers (Acts 19:7), but through faithful effort they experienced amazing growth. Knowing the success in Ephesus, Paul desired them ...read more

     | 5,867 views

    Chances are, at some point the adversity you face today as an individual has brought you to the place where you have asked yourself a form of this question. “Why does a good God let these bad things happen?”

    Years ago, a large church I was on staff with at the time did a series called “Elephant in the Room” • Prior to the series, the church was polled to narrow down the top things that were on people’s minds that it seemed nobody wanted to address. • We even rented a live Elephant in a cage out front ...read more

    The Great Commission Convolution Of Same Sex Marriage

    Does the Bible teach that the only way it can help all people face tomorrow in the power of God’s love is by becoming a diverse and inclusive congregation – multiracial, multigenerational and multicultural – offering a warm, non-threatening environment to all?

    The enemy has been very successful seducing churches to choose a different path to fulfill the Great Commission by becoming “Open and Affirming / Welcoming” rather than becoming places of supernatural transformation. Many churches see themselves as a place that, no matter where one is on their ...read more

    How Do You Handle Problems?

    Contributed by Lola Olanrewaju on Sep 14, 2017
    based on 1 rating
     | 21,548 views

    Life is a series of problem-solving opportunities. The problems you face will either defeat you or develop you depending on how you handle them. We need to realise that God wants to use problems for good in our lives.

    I came across a sign post sometimes ago which says: "Be kind For everyone you meet is fighting a battle." “Fighting a battle” in this context means facing one problem or the other.  There are people including Christians facing the problem of bereavement, joblessness, barrenness, sicknesses, ...read more

    These three young men stood up for God, and so were used in amazing ways to impact the greatest king who ever lived. They refused to do what was convenient and safe and rather entrusted themselves to God in the face of death.
