    Christians Must Be Prepared To Suffer For Christ

    Contributed by John Gaston on Jan 3, 2019
     | 5,763 views

    The Prosperity movement has given Americans a wrong view of God -- that He won’t let Christians suffer. But the truth is that suffering is a vital part of Christianity. Suffering should be viewed as a blessing, a cause for rejoicing, and a sign of future reward.

    CHRISTIANS MUST BE PREPARED TO SUFFER FOR CHRIST Matt. 24:9 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: MAGIC AT THE PASTRY SHOP 1. Two broke and hungry best friends, Dave and John, went into a pastry shop. Dave suddenly whisks three cookies into his pocket with lightning speed. The baker didn't notice. Dave ...read more

    Part 7D is a continuation of the functions we observe in the church in its infancy, and corresponding gifts that enable and empower the functionaries to perform in their various roles.

    Humility 2016

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Apr 20, 2016
     | 6,544 views

    Humility is disdained by this world but the Kingdom of God and the citizens of Heaven are those who are contrite and humble. Sometimes we need to examine ourselves to see if we are prideful or humble. Hopefully this sermon helps us with that examination.

    Luke 14:1-11 (read from the Bible and have the congregation follow along) Luke 14:11 NIV “All those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.” Humility … humility in relationship to God comes from knowing that God is God and we are ...read more
