    Jesus miracle of feeding the 5,000 demonstrates some of the Steps of Salvation found in Romans 8:28-31: This miracle turned away some followers, but not those He had chosen.

    This is not a gimmick. There are no hidden charges, No purchase necessary. It’s a free gift that actually is free.

    We’re living in a day and time when one frequently receives a card in the mail, a message on the radio or a commercial on the television advertising “something for nothing”. Upon closer examination of the offer one usually finds it is a gimmick to get you to purchase something else or has ...read more

    The church tries all sorts of gimmicks to quell falling numbers, but God simply wants us to get back to the basics... Faith, Hope and Love.

    Faith, hope and love. In AD 50 Corinth was one of the most important cities, commercially of the day, controlling much of the shipping between the East and the West.

     | 19,901 views

    This is the foundation of how the Church grows. For years I’ve been bothered by the GIMMICK VS. GOSPEL approach to ministry in general and evangelism in particular. It seems we don’t think God’s gospel is quite good enough to reach folks,

    Some thoughts in this message are from the archives of C.H. Spurgeon who preached in the 1800’s TITLE: FISHERS OF MEN….NO BAIT REQUIRED SCRIPTURE: ST. MATTHEW 4:18-20 / ST. MARK 1:17 Since my return to Ardmore, Deacon Cooley and a few other brothers have taken me out fishing. I ...read more

    Our culture tells us to always look for the new and improved; the latest is always the greatest. Pastors are always on the lookout for new methods, new gimmicks, and worst of all, new doctrines. The Bible is full of warnings to God’s people that the popul

    Jesus came to do 2 things: save the lost and build His church. But how was He going to build His church and what tool did He give us to use to help Him do that?

    What we have here is a perfect balance. Sometimes a church will put all emphasis in one direction and doesn’t balance out.

    We do not need parlor tricks or cute gimmicks to follow & obey God, what we need is faith that He has already done what He said He would do. He rescued Noah and his family because they obeyed His word. In fact … Noah shows us how God responds to our faithfulness!
