    As a Christian, by what standard do you measure your leadership choices?

    As a Christian, by what standard do you measure your leadership choices? By God's? By your own? By the world's? Do you make your leadership choices according to strength, money, loud music, catchy slogan or jingle, empty words, emotions, popularity? Or do you choose your leaders ...read more

    Who Cares? Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Aug 22, 2021
     | 2,218 views

    Has our prosperity made us so oblivious and so apathetic that we are no longer willing to leave our pleasures long enough to protect and heal the nation that so many others have sacrificed to give us? Even if America has reached that point, we Christians must rise above the apathy around us.

    [NOTE: The beginning of this sermon is referring to flooding that occurred where I live in western North Carolina.} Wow! What a week, amen? Life can come at you from out of nowhere and turn on a dime, can’t it? Last Sunday we gathered here to worship and had no idea how our little corner of ...read more

    Divine Appointments

    We seemed to be governed by appointments. Appointments are good tools, but do we forget we have divine appointments. There must be more to life than "I WANT TO BE HAPPY."

    DIVINE APPOINTMENTS By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com HEAR THE CRY OF THE PEOPLE: ALL I WANT IS TO BE HAPPY! THERE COMES A LEADER THAT WILL BRING HAPPINESS FOR 3 ½ YEARS… BEWARE.

    Christians have a blessed hope on which they can govern their lives by, Jesus is returning and He expects them to be about their assigned task when He comes back.

    Hope of Christ's Coming Act 1:9-11 Holds a truth not spoken of much these days, "He [Jesus] was taken up before their very eyes... they were looking intently up into the sky as He [Jesus] was going up, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them.

    Joseph’s Spiritual Promotion Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Feb 4, 2020
     | 3,717 views

    Joseph had been promoted politically to the highest position in the Egyptian government, but his father would promote him to a higher position spiritually – in God’s nation, Israel.

    Joseph’s Spiritual Promotion (46:1-50:26, esp. 48:1-20) 1. Sometimes promotions are not measurements of success. 2. The boss called one of his employees into the office. "Rob," he said, "you've been with the company for a year. You started off in the mail room, one week later ...read more

    What if the wrong people end up in charge, in control of our government, your work, your school or whatever organization you are involved with? How will you respond?

    We’re in an election year again. In the midst of the Pandemic, the Democratic National Convention occurred virtually this week and dominated all the major TV networks. As expected, the speakers at the Democratic Convention relentlessly attacked the incumbent president, and true to form, he ...read more

    Realistic Reminders Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Nov 17, 2020
     | 2,185 views

    We need reminders to keep us realistic about human social behavior, about our tendency to accommodate our own sin, and about the nature of government leaders.

    Realistic Reminders (Proverbs 28:11-16) 1. Everyone is forgetful at times. The difference is often this: some people remember they are absent-minded, others forget they are absent-minded. 2. One of my favorite original jokes is also true: I read a book about how to remember, but forgot what it ...read more

    When The Church Is Scattered

     | 3,703 views

    Studying the response of the first church when persecuted can encourage a proper response to disruption of services in the modern church in the West.

    “And there arose on that day a great persecution against the church in Jerusalem, and they were all scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles.” [1] Fairmeadows Church met at seven o’clock each Wednesday evening for a prayer meeting. One evening, rather than going ...read more

    Elders And Deacons

     | 7,199 views

    The New Testament provides instruction on how the Lord wants His Church to be governed. Two offices are to be found in each mature congregation - Elders and Deacons. This is a brief look at these two offices.

    1. When Paul wrote his Letter to the congregation at Philippi, he addressed it to “all the saints in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, including the overseers and deacons” (Philippians 1:1). This verse (with others from the New Testament) indicate that when completely and Scripturally ...read more

    Jesus Always Follows "Kingdom Rules” Series

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on May 9, 2017
     | 8,408 views

    This is the third message in the series on Faith. There are rules that govern how we are to live in the kingdom of God and they should be – no, must be – the foundation for how we think and how we make decisions.

    Growing in faith is a process. Sometimes I think we forget that. When we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we are born into a kingdom that we know very little about. That’s why we must grow in our knowledge and understanding of “kingdom rules” if we are to properly live and function in our new ...read more

    Handling Shameful Sin In The Church Series

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Aug 25, 2015
     | 5,278 views

    Too often churches of today overlook the sin and sinful lifestyle of a person because they are a leader in the community, government, or business. So the Corinthian church needed to wake up and learn something.

    Tonight’s passage is a continuation of last week’s passage. The subject is church discipline. To recap, there was sexual immorality in the church at Corinth. A man was either married to or living with his step-mother. He was known in the church and known in the community. His sin ...read more

    Government says taxation, environmentalists say population, politicians say legislation, taxation and education. All of their strategies are wrong. The gospel and truth of Jesus says the solution to our problems is transformation.

    Intro: The government is looking for ways to save entitlement programs and the only place they look is more taxation. The environmentalists are looking for ways to save the planet and the only thing they can come up with is lower population. Politicians are looking to solve our illegal alien ...read more
