    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,670 views

    1 Timothy 1:18-20 shows us several responsibilities of elders living in God’s church today.

    Scripture Paul stated the reason for writing his First Letter to Timothy in 1 Timothy 3:14–15, “I hope to come to you soon, but I am writing these things to you so that, if I delay, you may know how one ought to behave in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, a pillar and ...read more

    How Beautiful The Feet

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 6, 2022

     | 4,830 views

    Those who carry the gospel have beautiful feet because of their commitment to God, and because they bring good news to the lost. This message will convict believers to share the gospel, and convict the lost that they need Christ.

    When I was in college couples would wear half heart pendants in order to express their affection. Each person wore half a heart symbolizing their incompleteness without the companionship of their significant other. There was one couple, though, that wore a different kind of necklace.

     | 11,888 views

    Many people wonder what they can leave their children as an inheritance. You can give them land, money, possessions and power... but nothing compares to the inheritance that God says is one of the most important. What is that inheritance?

    This sermon series is entitled “Things That Keep Us Up At Night” and we’re looking at the question: “What do I leave my children when I die?” I’m getting to the age where I’ve got to consider writing a “Last Will and Testament.” I have to decide what kind of inheritance I’m going to leave my ...read more

    Heroes Of The Bible: Noah Series

    The Bible is full of heroes! They don't wear spandex or fly around in capes and cowls, but God empowered these heroes and heroines to accomplish some pretty amazing feats. Through their heroism, we can find the inspiration to become heroes of God ourselves. The first hero in our line-up is Noah.

    Heroes of the Bible: Noah Scott Bayles, pastor Blooming Grove Christian Church: 7/11/2021 Note: This sermon was adapted from my book, Holy Heroes of the Bible. If it's a blessing to you, please consider buying my book which includes chapter/sermons on 18 Bible heroes: ...read more

    This Thursday we will be celebrating THANKSGIVING. I am glad we have a day set aside for Thanksgiving.

    DO YOU KNOW HOW THANKSGIVING DAY CAME INTO EXISTENCE? Illus: The crew of the Mayflower had set their sites to land in northern Virginia, however, things did not work out that way.

    Because I Love Him

     | 1,447 views

    Love is a word that we begin to use at an early age.

    But what is amazing about love, is this: • A young boy at a certain age despises young girls • He frowns like he swallowed a dose of castor oil when the teacher makes him sit next to a girl • But at a certain age, something very mysterious begins to happen to him. That same boy that despised ...read more

    God Is A God Of Wrath Attributes Of God (10 Od 10 Sermons)

     | 1,250 views

    As we continue to learn what kind of God the God of the Bible is we will preach about one last attribute.

    So far, we have preached about God's being holy, immutable, love, jealous, orderly, omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent. The Bible reveals all these attributes to us because God wants us to come to know Him. He knows we cannot WORSHIP and SERVE Him if we do not KNOW Him. Now, if I was a ...read more

    :We can become sluggish in our bodies and go to the doctor, and after a thorough examination he might conclude that our bodies are lacking in calcium, iron, potassium, or some other particular vitamin.

    In the passage of scripture under consideration, it seems as though Peter has examined us and has discovered we all have a deficiency when it comes to having the proper attitude toward certain things. One's attitude is how one thinks toward a certain thing. Our thinking can be correct or ...read more

    1 Timothy 2:8-15 teaches us about the behavior of men and women in public worship.

    Scripture In 1 Timothy 2, Paul wrote on the subject of public worship. In verses 1-7, which we studied last week, Paul emphasized the need for a global concern in public worship. Today we are going to study verses 8-15, and see how Paul addressed the respective roles of men and women in public ...read more

    The Body Of Christ

     | 6,014 views

    If we desire to impact our community for Jesus Christ, then we need to be unified. Using the illustration of the church as a human body, Paul shared how a church that is divided will fail to function properly; or perhaps, even fail to survive.

    “A father asked his young son to break a bundle of sticks. He returned a little later to find the boy frustrated in the task. He had raised the bundle high and smashed it on his knee, but he only bruised his knee. He had set the bundle against a wall and stomped real hard with his foot, but the ...read more

    Acts Of The Apostles 34 Of 39

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 14, 2022
     | 1,505 views

    In previous studies, we find all that had been prophesied about the apostle Paul had come to pass. He was taken by a mob that almost killed him, but was rescued by the chief captain who took him away from that crowd.

    He was brought before a council that did not care a thing about justice. When he observed that the council was composed of both Pharisees and Sadducees, he divided the group by stating he was a Pharisee, and a firm believer in miracles and the resurrection. Since the Sadducees did not believe ...read more

    When Paul and Silas left Thessalonica, they left it in a turmoil.

    The Jews that did not believe, showed their jealousy by attacking the household of Jason, who had lodged Paul and Silas, since they could not take their revenge out on them personally. Verse 10, says, "And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming ...read more

    Does God Ever Withdraw His Favor?

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Mar 15, 2022
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,411 views

    There is a belief in the church that when a Born-Again Christian sins or walks in disobedience, God withdraws His favor and blessings to punish them.

    This belief is rooted in the Old Testament, where a relationship with God was conditionally based upon behavior. The Hebrew words translated as ‘favor’ are ‘ratson’ and ‘ratsah.’ The word ‘ratson’ is translated as favor, goodwill, acceptance, desire, pleasure. It most often represents God ...read more
