    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,743 views

    A message of practical application of the principles shown us when Jesus encountered Satan on the Mt. of Temptation. One of a series about what Jesus said and did during His ministry on earth.

    How Jesus Dealt With Temptation Matt. 4:1-11 It is always wise to define terms when a subject or topic is under consideration.

    The Church at Smyrna was a suffering church. They had experienced past afflictions and were going to encounter sever trials so they are encouraged to endure. A suffering church needs to look to their Lord and look to their future.

    Lessons from a Suffering Church Revelation 2:8-11 8 "To the angel of the church in Smyrna write: These are the words of him who is the First and the Last, who died and came to life again. 9 I know your afflictions and your poverty-- yet you are rich!

     | 3,226 views

    In marriage, we are going to encounter conflict at some point. And at some point, we're going to fight dirty. And we will be both on the receiving end and the giving end of these dirty tactics.

    When encountering a tribulation, it is a great opportunity to grow as a believer. I want to focus on four key words that hopefully will cause us all to view problems and tribulations with a little different perspective.

    The Four “P’s” of Tribulation James 1:1-12 Introduction: 1. What is the purpose of a thermometer? It is used to take the temperature of something. What if someone gave you a spiritual thermometer to take your spiritual temperature (1 to 10)? Would it show you red hot, on fire ...read more

    As we live in-between for God we will encounter storms. Some from our own making, some from following God. The key is how we respond in the midst of them.

    Boot Camp

    Using the Boot Camp metaphor would lend itself to Moses being a leader ----much like a drill sergeant. In this episode Moses encountered the unhappy campers in the their exodus from Egyptian captivity.

    BOOT CAMP Text: Exodus 17:1- 7 Anyone who was ever in the military is familiar what with the term Boot Camp. When a veteran hears the term Boot Camp, they can recall not only the branch of service that they were in, but also how intense the training was for them when they ...read more

    Faith, The Opposite Of Idolatry Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 20, 2013
     | 5,987 views

    Herod Antipas is a good example of one who is faithless, who worshiped an idol tied up with himself; true faith is a "break with all idols to turn to a living God in a personal encounter."

    Thursday of 25th Week in Course Lumen Fidei Luke 9: 7 - 9 7 Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done, and he was perplexed, because it was said by some that John had been raised from the dead, 8 by some that Eli'jah had appeared, and by others that one of the old prophets had risen. 9 ...read more

    Ruth had encountered much since her devastating circumstances in Moab. No doubt, Bethlehem had exceeded her wildest dreams. On this Boaz was in town among the elders, securing her redemption.

    A look at how the disciples encountered Christ post resurrection, and how this speaks into the present day filled with hopelessness and apathy, and how as modern disciples the torch has passed to us to continue the work

    In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen. As we continue to journey through our Easter Season, the Gospel continues to speak to us about the impact that the Resurrection had upon the disciples. Last week, the Gospel focussed on Thomas and his disbelief, and this week, we continue by ...read more

     | 2,983 views

    Acts 14 contains a record of where Paul and Barnabas ministered after they left Cyprus. They worked in Asia Minor, encountering success but also persecution. But no matter what, they never gave up.

    Introduction: Acts 14 records several events during the first missionary journey of Paul and Barnabas. Some of these events are almost hard to believe but they happened! Once they reached a stopping point, they retraced their steps and returned to Antioch of Syria, reporting all that the Lord had ...read more

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Dec 27, 2022
     | 1,623 views

    Paul shares his inner thoughts and heartfelt desire with the Thessalonians. His testimony was blameless as he laboured for the believers at Thessalonica, but he always encountered opposition. We look at walking with God.

    Beware Of Hypocrisy Series

    Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Aug 25, 2025
     | 258 views

    In His encounter with Pharisees and Scribes, Jesus discusses the characteristics of hypocrisy. To His disciples He notes the promises of hypocrisy with a stern warning. And yet, in the gospel, we find great hope for hypocrites.

    It seems like nearly every month (maybe even more frequently if we look hard enough), we receive news about some Christian leader who fails morally, gets caught, and is removed from ministry. Whether it’s pastors, professors, performers, or politicians - failure happens. We see hypocrisy ...read more
