    Blueprint: God's Plan For The Church Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Jan 28, 2019

    Does it matter what a church teaches or are all doctrines about God, the church and the Christian life equally true? If all doctrines are equally true, then why did the Apostle Paul write to churches and individuals warning them to beware of false teachers and false teaching?

    Today’s sermon begins a series of lessons that I plan to deliver in the first part of 2019. 1. I’ve titled the series “Blueprint: God’s Plan for the Church.” 2. As I mentioned two weeks ago, there is always a need to return to the basics and strengthen the foundation, and that is something we will ...read more

    Defection, Deception & Destruction Of The Gospel Series

    Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Aug 11, 2018
     | 5,332 views

    In Galatians 1:6–9 we see the dangers of: 1) Defection (Galatians 1:6), 2) Deception (Galatians 1:7), and 3) Destruction (Galatians 1:8-9) of those who would pervert the Gospel of Grace.

    Every culture has unique expressions that can seem foreign to others. For one who is astonished, the British have the expression that one is “gob-smacked.” “Gob” is slang for “mouth.” To be smacked is to be slapped with an open hand. So someone who is “gob-smacked” opens his mouth, claps his hand ...read more

    People assume that God’s leading always takes us to the mountaintop. A valley means you find a way out. That's a wrong assumption.

    Can God speak through an imperfect individual? We are studying the life and "ministry" of Balaam to discover the pertinence of his life to our own lives.

    “The people of Israel set out and camped in the plains of Moab beyond the Jordan at Jericho. And Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites. And Moab was in great dread of the people, because they were many. Moab was overcome with fear of the people of Israel. ...read more

    The Power Of The Holy Spirit

    based on 3 ratings
     | 8,527 views

    No one can stand in the way of God and not be punished. Christianity has nothing to do with the magic and superstition of the world. The power of God’s Word and the power of the Holy Spirit overcomes them all.

    Have you ever wondered what is it like to be commissioned by God to do his work in our world? In the reading we heard from Acts, we see an example of one of the earliest ordinations or commissioning services in the church. Of the five men Luke mentions, four were Jews born outside the Holy Land ...read more

    Stephen was a willing worker for the Church in the days of the Apostles. There were some people, including religious leaders, who didn't like him and made plans to do something to him.

    An Outline for Acts 6:8-15 Introduction: Stephen was one of the original seven men chosen to assist the apostles (see Acts 6:1-7). He was able to more than just assist in distribution of food, as he performed “great wonders and miracles among the people” and even engaged in dialogue with members ...read more

    Those Who Must Be Silenced Series

    Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Oct 14, 2021
     | 2,058 views

    In Titus 1:10–16, Paul first gives a general 1) description of false teachers in the church who are to be silenced (Titus 1:10–13a). He then specifies 2) What the reaction to those should be (Titus 1:13b–14) and 3) Evaluates their lives (Titus 1:15–16).

    Titus 1:10–16. 10 For there are many who are insubordinate, empty talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision party. 11 They must be silenced, since they are upsetting whole families by teaching for shameful gain what they ought not to teach. 12 One of the Cretans, a prophet of ...read more

    The Thessalonians 1 Of 14 (1 Of 2)

     | 1,869 views

    In 1 and 2 Thess. some last days events are dealt with. If we are not careful we can get those events mixed up.

    For example, in 1 Thess. Paul dealt with the RAPTURE OF THE CHURCH. He had this to say in 1 Thess. 4:16-18. We read, “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which ...read more

    In the year 2002, the Catholic church has come under fire by the news media because of the corruption in the Catholic priesthood.

    Those who have studied the history of this church have known something about this corruption for many years. For example, some of the problems today we are hearing about are: (1) THE HOMOSEXUAL PROBLEM IN THE PRIESTHOOD On the Fox News Channel, on “The Factor,” they reported that about 50% of ...read more
