Church Divided, Denominated, Disobedient!

Contributed by Greg Nance on Jan 12, 2013

God’s word calls the church to high standards. Division and denominationalism should be unacceptable based on what the Bible clearly teaches.

Trials make us evaluate what matters most. Questions about life and eternity help us center our hearts and minds and focus our hopes in God’s eternal plan.

All of us face trials. The Bible is filled with stories about people undergoing trials and teachings about how to respond when we face trials and troubles in this life.

Forgiveness: The Power Of Letting Go Series

Contributed by Greg Warren on Apr 22, 2013

Forgiveness of others is essential for receiving forgiveness from God. It's also important for experiencing joy, discovering peace, and reconciling with our past.

I’m so glad that I have finally found a church where everyone is good to everyone all the time and no one ever gets their feelings hurt or does mean things to one another. I hope you detect the sarcasm I am using to make a point here. The truth is that we face the potential for hurt ...read more

How To Judge Not

Contributed by Greg Nance on Apr 27, 2013

Don't judge me! Who are you to judge me? Popular ideas in today's culture need biblical guidance. Let's look a bit at what this is all about and how God wants us to understand and act regarding judging others.

Matthew 7 Jesus' words: do not judge, are perhaps the most popular words of our culture today. How do you judge not? Particularly, how do you judge not as Jesus taught us? This command in the sermon on the mount is couched in front of another command that seems very much like a judgment call. ...read more

Confessing Faith In The Name

Contributed by Greg Nance on May 22, 2013

What a great message we find in the early chapters of Acts. This is our history as followers of Jesus Christ. Our call is to faith and confession in the Name of Jesus.

(Read Acts 3-4 with slides) Lesson: Sharing the gospel is part of the churches identity. It doesn’t matter what the world says we should do, we answer to a higher authority and we must not be silent.

(Read Acts 5 with slides) What does it take to ruin a church? What does it take to stop God? Acts 5 gives us two stories about threats to the church, one from the inside and the other from the outside. First. The threat from the inside produced two deaths and great fear upon the whole ...read more

Submit Yourselves to God 4 What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you? 2 You want something but don’t get it. You kill and covet, but you cannot have what you want. You quarrel and fight. You do not have, because you do not ask ...read more
