What's A Preacher To Do? Series

Contributed by David Owens on Jun 20, 2022

After Paul's customary, brief introduction, he moved right into the challenges facing Timothy in his ministry in Ephesus. We can distill Paul's advice to Timothy down into four directives.

Introduction: A. Ministry can be a challenge for ministers and for members – How’s that for an understatement? B. But imagine seeing this “want ad” for a preacher: 1. “Must have experience as a shepherd, CEO, office manager, educator, salesman, diplomat, referee, writer, theologian, politician, ...read more

The Memorial That Disappeared Series

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Jun 11, 2021

The story of Elijah and the prophets of Baal is a classic. What we sometimes forget is that a memorial, an altar to the LORD, was already there before Elijah came! The rest of the story is gripping!

Introduction: The days of Elijah were some of the best and some of the worst in Israel’s history. One of the highest points took place when God responded to Elijah’s prayer in a way that nobody could deny. Not only did this take place in the presence of pagan prophets, the event also took place ...read more

Team God

Contributed by Je Layugan on Jan 6, 2021

Elijah (meaning “My God is Yahweh”) challenges the 450 prophets of baal (and other prophets) in a “my God, your gods face-off". Like Elijah, teaming up with God when facing battles in life will be a win-win situation.

STORY PRELUDE Elijah confronts King Ahab and challenges baal. He sets the basic rule of the face-off, that is to use woods and a bull to be consumed by their gods as they call them. Though he seems alone, Elijah is on the offense. In his turn to call his God, he prepares the Lord’s altar using ...read more

NOT A REAL CHRISTIAN Have you ever had someone tell you that you’re not really a Christian or not saved? Maybe because, they said, you don’t belong to the right church or you celebrate the wrong holidays or whatever.

Lessons From The Seven Churches

Contributed by Jeff Hagan on Apr 28, 2022

Revelation was written to seven specific churches at a specific time in a specific place for a specific reason. However, what lessons can we learn from this valuable book of the bible?

1. Ephesus: The Ephesian church is commended for its works—the preaching, perseverance and serving by the early disciples (Revelation 2:1–3). Even they had to discern between false teachers and teachers of the Truth. However, the church was told that "you have left your first love" ...read more

Un Falso Testigo Que Dice Mentiras

Contributed by James Dina on Aug 7, 2020

Ser un falso testigo es actuar como un agente de Satanás; completamente bajo el control del diablo, un falso testigo vierte mentiras y se convierte en un insulto social. Los falsos testigos serán castigados.

UN FALSO TESTIGO QUE DICE MENTIRAS "El falso testigo no quedará impune, y el que exhala mentiras no escapará" (Proverbios 19:5) La lengua mentirosa dice mentiras, pero el falso testigo hace cosas peores: puede decir la verdad, pero en ausencia de otro testigo (para testificar ...read more

How Are We To Know The Truth?

Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jan 9, 2023

The emphasis of Second John chapter 2 is on the basics of following Christ, of truth and love, and to warn against false teachers. We are not to just read the Word of God, but we are to obey it as well.

When a believer knows how to walk in the truth, he or she should know how to act, should know what to do, is willing to learn, and is determined to do so. In verses 1-3: The “elder” is John, one of twelve disciples. He also is the author of the Gospel of John, the three epistles, and the book of ...read more

Is It Too Good To Be True

Contributed by David Nolte on Oct 18, 2021

Many of the most attractive offers are just too good to be true.

We are bombarded by advertisements, commercials and infomercials. They come by way of mail, newspapers, text messages, email, radio and television.

Danger: Disguised, Deadly Deceivers! - Matthew 7:15-20 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Nov 18, 2024

It is God’s design that we follow leaders. But the false ones deceive and lead away from the narrow road to hell. The way to see past the sheep’s clothing to the actual fruit is by watching for the things that come from the heart and that are not a part of the act.

Matthew 7:15 Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. 16 By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears ...read more

Dead Theologians

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Nov 30, 2023

Not all dead theologians are in the grave.

You can quote the written Word of God from Genesis to Revelation and go to Hell. You can have the Living Word of God, Jesus, and go to Heaven. Unless you are filled with the Holy Spirit of God who gives life to the written Word, you will go to Heaven defeated and fruitless while giving the wrong ...read more
