    Let Us Put Away Sin From Our Churches Series

    Contributed by Bruce Landry on May 23, 2005
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,852 views

    The Body of Christ here on Earth has been stained with sin. We are called to put away sin from our presence, and if we truly are of the "Body of Christ" we will strive to put sin out of our midst.

    Let us Put Away Sin within Our Churches We sometimes criticize others unfairly. We don’t know all their circumstances, nor their motives. Only God, who is aware of all the facts, is able to judge people righteously. John Wesley told of a man he had little respect for because he considered him to ...read more

    We need to work on building better families.

    What is marriage and the family? What am I doing to promote a better family? What effort am I investing to build my family? Is my family life just aimlessly drifting?

    Ministry can be messy, but Jesus can be glorified in us. Church conflict is inevitable. In the conflict we must look for God’s power.

    Healing Heart Wounds Part 3 - Betrayal & Deception Series

    Contributed by Dr. Jonathan Vorce on Aug 18, 2018
     | 9,089 views

    Betrayal is a demon spirit. We know this because it acts the same, uses the same phrases and its patterns are the same anywhere in the world. Anyone, who is NOT paying attention spiritually, can fall prey to this demonic spirit.

    Psalms 41:7-9 7 All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they devise my hurt. 8 An evil disease, say they, cleaveth fast unto him: and now that he lieth he shall rise up no more. 9 Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his ...read more

    The Ministry Begins Series

    Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Jun 16, 2014
     | 5,813 views

    Jesus is shown by Mark as a servant who acts immediately when God commands. As John prepared the way, Jesus' obedience to the Father is clearly demonstrated. The example then before us is simple: When God speaks, we must respond!

    The Ministry Begins Mark 1:1-15 - Today will begin our study of the Gospel of Mark; runs for couple of months -- Expository method of preaching: verse by verse, examining context & meaning -- Very important to discover God’s word in this way (tackle even the tough stuff) ∆ ...read more

     | 4,654 views

    Jesus gives us the profile of a legalist.

    Last time, we looked at verses 37-44 at the profile of a hypocrite given by Jesus in response to a criticism from a Pharisee. After Jesus finished addressing the Pharisee, the scribes pointed out He had also insulted them. Jesus basically responded by saying, “If the shoe fits wear it!” Jesus ...read more

    The pharisees and Scribes used this woman as a pond in their scheme. In this one move, they could condemn the woman, turn the crowd against her and turn them away from the influence of Jesus. One slip of the tongue would be the end of Jesus. Yet Jesus offered a new beginning to all!

    The lesson today is one of that was avoided by the early Church and was even left out of some early manuscripts. This is Jesus second discourse in the temple.

    I Made A Mistake, I Am Not A Mistake Series

    Contributed by Rev. Matthew Parker on Dec 29, 2025
     | 108 views

    This is the sixth talk in a course called "Trauma and Transformation, Level 2". This advanced course takes a bio-psycho-socio-spiritual approach to healing. Both Christians and non-Christians are in attendance, so the homily is presented with that in mind.

    I like this image, because it represents God as parent, God as mother, God as Father. It’s a healthy way to see God, to feel God, if we can separate it from our own experience with imperfect parents, or of h being imperfect parents. We’ve been talking about a lot of things in this course that ...read more
