    Overcoming Church Problem #1: Disagreements & Divisions Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Feb 21, 2023
     | 2,904 views

    Of all the problems in the church at Corinth, what was the first problem the Apostle Paul chose to address? Immorality, a false gospel, getting drunk at Communion, licentiousness? Nope! Division! Disunity! Why is this so important?

    Did you know that I was personally baptized by none other than Charles Swindoll? Perhaps I should say Dr. Charles Swindoll! Yes, the same Charles Swindoll who is daily on Christian Radio and is the founder of the Insight for Living radio broadcast, who has written about 70 very popular Christian ...read more

    Even in the midst of opposition Paul rejoiced because the Gospel was being preached.

    1) Last week we spoke of the Gospel being advanced when we go through difficulties in our lives. When the Gospel advances we advance. When Paul was able to process his problems through acceptance and surrender he was able to receive divine power and perspective. 2) This week we will be ...read more

    Idols

    Contributed by Je Layugan on Oct 17, 2023
     | 2,288 views

    Everyone is a fan of something or someone, but we must exercise caution and be mindful of the dangers of idolatry. Because a simple admiration or desire can turn into idolatry. Idolatry is often a good thing that becomes a god thing. That will eventually create a barrier between us and God.

    To become a fan is generally fine. “Everyone is a fan of something or someone, but we must exercise caution and be mindful of the dangers of idolatry. Because a simple admiration or desire can turn into idolatry. Idolatry is often a good thing that becomes a "god thing". That will ...read more

    As we know Pentecost is about the birthday of the Church. Our marching orders for the Kingdom following the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ are to be Spirit filled, Spirit fed and Spirit led as we go and make disciples!

    John 16:7-14 Nevertheless I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.

    When things seem to be going well.....BEWARE....this is exactly the time when satan lulls us into a sense of false security...only to spring his wicked traps.

    The Ideal God Series

    I would suggest that (today) modern man certainly knows how to look for, find and worship the false gods of this world without having to use a hammer or chisel.

    THE IDEAL GOD Text: Exodus 20:1 thru 6 There is a Bible story (found in the book of II Kings) that illustrates for us what can happen when the people of God look for (or try to create) THE IDEAL GOD. The story is about a very young king, named Hezekiah, and how he brought the backsliden nation ...read more

    Myths Of Salvation

    Contributed by Tim Hinrichs on Jan 31, 2013
     | 6,792 views

    There are many myths Christians believe about how to be saved. As we look into the Scripture we see these myths revealed as false and the only way to salvation through the cross of Christ.

    What is a myth? A story about someone or something that some claim to be true but is usually a fable. In Minnesota we have the stories of Paul Bunyan and Babe the blue ox. There is the belief in Poland that if you sit on a cold stone surface you will get sick and in America, many believe that if ...read more

    Avoiding The Distortions

    Contributed by Colin Thornby on Nov 6, 2010

     | 3,325 views

    Just like the Sadducees, we can selectively read scripture and so make false and disastrous assumptions about Christ and his call (Luke 20:27-40)

    One of the curious things about religious people is that they can develop very fixed ideas about what is right and what is wrong. Sometimes these are bolstered by appeals to their religious texts, sometimes it is based on experience, or a sort of philosophical position. Jesus interaction with the ...read more

    Many take comfort in the false hope that the Lord is not aware of their evil, while the Child of God is comforted by believing that the Lord is aware of all things in our lives at all times.

    The Stigma Of Being Holy Series

    Contributed by Kevin Hall on Nov 26, 2012
     | 5,328 views

    There are so many thoughts of half truths pertaining to our own orthodoxies that many get a false sense of what makes us a peculiar group of people to the rest of the world.

    “The Stigma of Being Holy” I Peter 1:16 Over the past few weeks we have interacted with the subject of Stigmas. We’ve talked about the Stigma of what it meant to be Christian. Last week Pastor Chad spoke about the Stigma of a Missionary. So to conclude this Stigma series I want ...read more
