     | 3,473 views

    A Biblical look at how Christians can respond to our Government’s handling of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.

    WHEN THINKING ABOUT THE CONCEPT OF WAR, CARL VON CLAUSEWITZ, IN HIS EPIC BOOK "ON WAR" WROTE, "WAR…IS AN ACT OF VIOLENCE INTENDED TO COMPEL OUR OPPONENT TO FULFIL OUR WILL."

    The Probelm With Carry-Ons Series

    Contributed by Curry Pikkaart on Mar 20, 2014
     | 7,104 views

    The problem with carry-ons is that they restrict our Journey's freedom and hamper its progress.

    “The Problem with Carry-Ons”” Zech. 3:1-5; Matthew 8:1-17 When we travel by air, we often cram as much as possible into a piece of carry-on luggage. While it may save time and the frustration of checking and retrieving baggage at the airport, it also slows us down. Because ...read more

    God is sovereign. His rule is never restricted and His Word is never bound.

    Hello everyone! Good morning. I hope everyone is doing fine and keeping well, not just physically but spiritually, in our walk with the Lord. • Let’s listen to Him again, from Acts 12 today.

    Why Does The Government Do More Than The Church To Help The Poor? Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jun 26, 2015
     | 5,298 views

    This passage on the care of widows opens up a larger question: what's the place the church should have in the care of the poor (versus the place the government should have)?

    THE POINT OF THE PASSAGE: Taking care of the needy widows was a big deal in the early church. - There was a different societal structure and a lack of social safety net back then. The church stepped in to help. - Unpack some of the passage. - The passage raises a more general question: why ...read more

    What Does The Bible Say About The Christian’s Relationship With The Government?

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jan 25, 2021
     | 3,465 views

    What do Paul and Peter have to say about the Christian and government? Is the church allowed to pursue the violent overthrow of secular governments? What should be our focus if it's not the accumulation of earthly power?

    - We are going to dig into a subject this morning that is challenging. We are going to be talking about church and state. It’s one we don’t talk about particularly often. - As we start, I want to acknowledge up front that these passages are difficult. I want to say that I don’t like everything ...read more

    The Government Of The Promised Son, Part 1 (Isaiah 9:6-7)

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jun 5, 2024
     | 773 views

    Isaiah's writings contain numerous references to the rule and person of God's Messiah. There are two specific passages worth examining. The first deals with His rule as King. The other deals with the righteous kingdom He will create and rule over forever in peace and joy.

    There are verses in the Bible that bring joy and peace to the troubled soul. There are verses which give us the assurance that the promises of God are true and faithful. There are those verses which give us the affirmation that God has given us mercy and salvation we do not deserve, yet in HIs ...read more

    Isaiah presents a series of prophecies that pertain to the person and role of God's Messiah. In Chapter 11:1-9, he describes the character of the future kingdom where the creation will live at peace.

    "THERE shall come forth a Root from the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of its roots. The Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon Him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD.

    How does Palm Sunday introduce a new perfect government, the government of God?

    Intro Christianity teaches that God is love. Jesus showed this throughout his ministry culminating in the epitome of Godly love on the cross. Pontius Pilate is a caricature of all the false gods of the ancient and modern world. Jesus’ Palm Sunday parade into Jerusalem mocks false Roman gods and ...read more

    How To Be A Christian Citizen Series

    Contributed by David Dykes on Oct 30, 2014
    based on 2 ratings
     | 14,525 views

    God has drawn a moral standard, a line. “That’s my boundary. That’s my spiritual fault line. You better move your life to get in line with it.” And too many Americans are saying, “No, I want to move God’s line and change God’s standard to fit my life.”

    INTRODUCTION Open your Bibles to Romans 13. I think sometimes our families are sent by God to keep us humble. I remember when I was pastoring a church in Alabama, and Jenni was a little girl. She saw me get up to preach and she said, “Daddy, what are you doing before you get up to ...read more

    God gave the sabbath command not to restrict us but to free us for rest and faith in Him to provide.

    July 2, 2000 Exodus 20:8-11; Deuteronomy 5:12-15 “Working 24/7” INTRODUCTION A Sunday School teacher was telling her children about the importance of observing the Sabbath Day.

    Spring Cleaning

    Jesus does some cleaning out of the temple to clear out the things that restricted worship of God.

    Spring Cleaning… John 2:13-19 It seems a little strange to me but, it appears to be something that many people have built into their DNA. Mostly women… When the first flowers start to bud out many households enter into spring cleaning mode. Personally, I and many, if not most, men don’t ...read more

    As we move away from COVID restrictions this message was to remind folks why we worship in person

    I never thought I would see the day in Canada that Christians would be unable to come together, in person, to worship. Then again, I never imagined a Global Pandemic either. The joke with pastors is that we all skipped the class on pastoring in a pandemic. I’ve been asked many times if what we are ...read more

    There Was Darkness Over All The Land

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Apr 3, 2021

     | 3,564 views

    The rework of the Easter 2020 message, which was not delivered. Jesus was God in the darkness as He hung on the cross, and He is God in the darkness of these evil days.

    “From the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour. And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, ‘Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?’ that is, ‘My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?’ And some of the bystanders, hearing it, said, ‘This man is calling ...read more
