    Calverton Baptist Church, Silver Spring, MD: Worship involves four dimensions: UP toward God, our help; DOWN from our pride; IN toward a caring unity; and OUT toward a world in need.

    When I was in college, I had a math professor who would write a problem on the board, and then with a few deft strokes of his chalk, write the answer: X equals 12. Somehow, no matter what the problem, it seemed as though X always equaled twelve. But how did he get that? From long and complex ...read more

    Let’s talk about depression. That is something all of us have experienced at one time or another, and I believe it is important for us to understand just what it is, and how it affects our walk as Christians. First of all, what is depression? Let me give you a very simple definition. It is a ...read more

    Based on Rev 22:12-end and John 17:20-26. The invitation at the end of Revelation is made to the Great Feast, and we as a church should set aside pride and in unity reach the lost with the Gospel of Christ.

    I fear in my heart all the time whether my service for the Lord turn out to be dead works that Day! Walking before the Lord in humility everyday will preserve me from the danger of being pride.

    No matter how great and splendid our spiritual works are, if they are originated from a self-centred heart with selfish motives, Bible says they will be burned up on that Day before the Lord! (1 Corinth 3:12-15). Many people might have been blessed through them, but they will be dead works and will ...read more

    This message looks at some tactics the enemy will use to discredit God's people. We can fight back through prayer. Daniel actually stood for his faith while on his knees in prayer.

    In our second message from this series, I mentioned how when we live according to biblical principles, working “as to the Lord and not to men” (Colossians 3:23), that we will receive God’s favor and be promoted to a place of prominence. I also cautioned that those who are favored by God are hated ...read more

     | 5,656 views

    Sin is more than an outward act, sin is a STATE OF MIND. Sin is much like a dandelion you can fight it your whole life and it tends to spring up again and again. Sin starts as a seed of thought and roots from there.

    PLAYING GAMES WITH SIN... Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com TEXT: Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

    Many battles are won in our minds! Temptations are first overcome in our minds because that is where the battle is and that is where the victory also is. Hiding God’s Word in our hearts is a great weapon to fight temptations.

    based on 24 ratings
     | 11,676 views

    There is a cost to be paid for everything we do in life, even in our spiritual lives. We explore this concept using King Jehoshaphat and his decision to turn the battle over to God and let God fight it for him.

    Last week, we spoke about our having problems and how those problems will undermine our walk with Christ if we let them. I reminded you of just how important it is to stay on top of the storms in your life, and that you can only do that by fully relying, not on yourself, but on Jesus Christ to ...read more
