     | 6,557 views

    As believers can we cry foul when we feel our 'rights' have been violated? What about when we feel violated by those within the body of believers? What is our 'right'? What is our course of action? Do we have one?

     | 5,280 views

    Not everyone who claims to be a teacher has received appointment from God.

    “Certain persons, by swerving from these, have wandered away into vain discussion, desiring to be teachers of the law, without understanding either what they are saying or the things about which they make confident assertions.” [1] Ultimately, it is not the one who is the most polished speaker who ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 6,523 views

    Who should be baptised? Why should one be baptised? These are questions that must be answered by each one calling himself or herself after the Name of the Son of God.

    “As they were going along the road, they came to some water, and the eunuch said, ‘Look, there is water! What is to stop me from being baptized?’” [1], [2] Baptism is truly the water that divides. It is an unfortunate fact of ecclesiastical history that the rite has ...read more

    What Shall I Do With Jesus? Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Nov 3, 2012
    based on 4 ratings
     | 24,209 views

    The preacher, the Christian and the outsider all must answer the same question--What Shall I Do With Jesus? Each of us must answer; we cannot evade. For salvation and for service, our answer reveals who we are.

    “What shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ” [1] Almost every message I have heard from this text was directed to lost people. That is certainly appropriate. However, in our study today, I want to consider how this question applies not only to the lost, but also to each of us who bear the ...read more

    A sermon on James and how God "gives the test first then gives the lesson."

    I want to speak to you today about learning to endure. Now this is sort of a re-entry message. And we have learned to endure some things. And I don’t want to act like we endure so much because, really, I want to say with the apostle Paul, “Our light affliction is but for a ...read more

    The correct 1) Message (Acts 1:1-2), 2) Manifestation (Acts 1:3), 3) Might (Acts 1:4-5, 8a), 4) Mystery (Acts 1:6-7), 5) Mission (Acts 1:8b), and 6) Motive (Acts 1:9-11).

    As school ends, and summer begins, it means that kids have a change of pace. Instead of day to day studies and supervision, there tends to be more unscheduled time in new locations. If those new locations include a summer camp, it gives a testing opportunity to see if those lessons made a ...read more

    “The word of the LORD came to me: ‘Son of man, behold, I am about to take the delight of your eyes away from you at a stroke; yet you shall not mourn or weep, nor shall your tears run down.
