    Getting Inside Society Without Letting Society Get Inside Of You Series

    Contributed by Art Campbell on Nov 12, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,694 views

    How can we infiltrate our culture without letting it’s values infiltrate us? Daniel and his friends faced this issue...

    One of the questions thoughtful Christians often ask when we’re trying to live incarnationally – putting flesh on the gospel – is how far should we go in accommodating ourselves to our culture? What’s OK for a Christian to do and what’s not when we’re trying to reach people where we are? For ...read more

    A Call To Quietnes

    Contributed by Lew Slade on Feb 15, 2007
    based on 9 ratings
     | 4,316 views

    Being quiet before God is as important as being busy for him.

    The Call to Quietness I have to say that I am very glad that our gospel reading today skips over the horrific story of the beheading of John the Baptist, and rather moves on chronologically from last week. We read then how Jesus sent out the twelve disciples in ministry for the first time. Today ...read more

    Everyone has areas of their lives that need to be made new.

    I came across some interesting statistics a few years ago. Someone went to the trouble to research what people do with their time, & came up with these results: If we live to be 75, most of us will have spent 3 solid years, 24 hours a day, acquiring an education - grade school, high school & ...read more

     | 48,586 views

    Jesus uttered seven short phrases on the cross before he died. This sermon briefly examines the fifth word that Jesus uttered, which was a word of suffering, found in John 19:28.

    Introduction It is often profitable to study the last words of dying men. Many sermons have been preached on the last words of Jesus. As he hung on the cross on that first Good Friday he uttered seven short sentences or phrases. We usually call these “the seven last words of Christ.” For the ...read more

    What About Hebrews 6:4-6? Series

     | 9,874 views

    In this day of modern preaching on eternal security, does a Christian ever reach the place of backsliding and becoming apostate? Let’s study it out.

    Heb. 6:4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, 5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, 6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing ...read more

    Now the question – was Mary really Jesus’ wife and mother of Sarah, the child Jesus supposedly fathered to establish a royal bloodline to rule the earth?

    Many women were also there, looking on from a distance; they had followed Jesus from Galilee and had provided for him. Matthew 27:55 (NRSVA) The DaVinci Code movie will be released this week. The fact that it coincides with Mother’s Day does not surprise me. Part of the conspiracy theory of ...read more

     | 4,115 views

    How is your life wired? Jesus paints a picture of God\’s character to show us how differently we are wired and how much we are in need of a Savior.

    A few years ago I thought I was pretty smart. We were putting in a hot tub and some people said - you should have it installed by a professional. "I don’t need no professional!" I responded. Well, we got the thing in okay- after hefting it sideways and rolling it on some very flimsy hand trucks or ...read more

    Hold fast to the Word, for we stand under the judgement of God’s Word. Do not compromise at all cost.

    Holding on to the truth is of vital importance. - It is a matter of life and death, blessing or suffering, reward or judgement. - Jesus emphasizes this need to the two churches. - They performed well in many ways but not in the guarding of God’s truth. We need to (1) HOLD FAST TO THE TRUTH - ...read more

    Sometimes reading the Bible can be difficult. Why should we even read it? If if we convince ourselves to open it, where do we start.
