    How Christians Ought To Behave

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Feb 18, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,517 views

    God knows best. He gave Jesus Christ to be the Savior for everyone who believes in Him. To receive the full benefits of his salvation, you should fully surrender to God. Decide not to do your will, but God’s will. Then you will be close to God and experience his power.

    Sermon – How Christians ought to Behave (Walk Upright in a Fallen World) Romans 12:1-10 “And so, dear brothers and sisters,[a] I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you.

    The story is told of a boxer who was in the fight of his life. From the very first round, he was getting hit from every direction you can imagine.

    • After the first round, he returned to his corner with his nose bleeding. But his manager wanted to encourage him so he said, “Good fight champ, he never laid a glove on you!” • After the second round he returned to his corner with his nose still bleeding and now he had a black eye. But again, his ...read more

    Christmas Makes For Pure Christians Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 15, 2021
     | 1,853 views

    The reality of Christmas is that God’s grace does not produce Christians who are cavalier about sin. My message in three words is simple: Don’t drift downstream.

    It just seems the holidays are meant for laziness. The week between Christmas Day and New Year’s Day is meant for sleeping in and for resting. Yet, I want to challenge your message during this “week of rest” - The reality of Christmas is that God’s grace does not produce Christians who are ...read more

    Death From Christians Perspective Series

    Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Nov 22, 2021
     | 3,180 views

    Some deaths people treat as a “tragic end”, but for some deaths, people say “well-earned rest”. Our judgments are not true because those are based on outward known deeds. Death reveals mysteries.

    Message for Memorial Day – Theme: DEATH in Christian Perspective Text: 1 Corinthians 15:56 The Diagnosis A woman accompanied her husband to visit a doctor. After his check-up, the doctor called the wife into his chamber. He said, "If you don't do the following, your husband will surely ...read more

     | 5,501 views

    People who feel a deep emptiness or a great deal of self-doubt can also feel as if their identity is being stolen

    I have always been a 'car guy.' I have had a serious interest in them for as long as I can remember. I also worked in the Automobile Industry and wrenched on so many vehicles I owned over the years that I have lost count. Countless years ago, when I was a teenager, I had a car that was ...read more

    Am I A Whitewashed Christian?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Oct 14, 2022
     | 1,385 views

    A Christian is one who follows Christ and has taken on the instructions, directions, guidance, and characteristics that Christ gave to us. Secondly, what is whitewashed? It is the concealment or covering of flaws, failures, blemishes, or unpleasant facts.

    This is the story of two men who prayed. Undoubtedly many have read or at least heard of this story. So why did I title this sermon "Am I a Whitewashed Christian? Well first, let me ask this, what is a Christian? A Christian is one who follows Christ and has taken on the instructions, ...read more

     | 4,896 views

    A look at the Believers authority and protection in Christ

    Whenever I am asked “can a Christian have a demon?” my usual response is to ask “why would they want one?” A great debate has taken place through the centuries within Christianity as to whether or not a genuine Born-Again Christian can be demon possessed. The argument revolves primarily around the ...read more

    The Do Nots Of Christian Living

    Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Jun 20, 2018
     | 3,207 views

    We dear ones are called to Holiness not just good enough to get by. That’s a pretty high standard for any of us and God knows that so He gave us some help and identified behaviours and actions that we need to purge from our character.

    The Do Nots of Christian living Leviticus 19:1-2 Leviticus Chapters 15 through 18 Matthew 22:34-40 Many people see religion as a waste of time. I would be one to agree with them.

    How The Resurrection Affects Christianity

    The resurrection of Jesus was a work of God established before the foundation of the world was set in place and has an enormous impact on our life today.

    1 Corinthians 15:1-11 Chicago Tribune journalist, Lee Strobel, had been on an incredible quest to disprove the resurrection of Jesus. A “just the facts” type of guy, Strobel figured debunking God would not be that difficult. This was a man who worked in a newsroom with a printed banner ...read more
