    Decide To Grow In Faith Series

    Contributed by Wayne Mock on Feb 18, 2011
     | 6,820 views

    Decisions have much to do with growth in Christ. Growth in Christ has much to do with decisions. Decide to grow in Christ by: 1) Being a good example; 2) Being Forgiving; and 3) Serving faithfully.

    Much emphasis is given to the need for one to make the decision to accept Christ as both Savior and Lord. Behind such a decision is the necessity of faith – a loving belief and trust in the Lord. This belief and trust, this faith, includes confessing Christ as Lord and repenting of one's ...read more

    Jesus paid it all.

    We’ve looked at the Principle of Applied Priesthood - how we must develop a sacrificial, submissive, sympathetic faith as we come before God and make requests on behalf of others who do not have a right relationship nor a good standing with God themselves. We then looked at the Principle of ...read more

    As we look at our church, our community and as we look beyond at the culture and nation in which we live a couple of questions come to my mind that relate to our church family. [1] Are we really a family? [2] An even more telling question: Do we even want

    LIVING IN CHRIST – We’re Family!  Ephesians 2:11-22 NIV 11 Therefore, remember that formerly you who are Gentiles by birth and called "uncircumcised" by those who call themselves "the circumcision" (that done in the body by the hands of men)— 12 remember that at that time ...read more

    The Good Samaritan

    Contributed by Nigel Heath on Jun 28, 2011
     | 8,947 views

    Is it is always right to give to those who ask without asking questions? Is there ever a time when it is right to pass by on the other side? Do we have the courage to be honest with ourselves when our beliefs and practise are in conflict with each other

    6.2.11 GOOD SAMARITAN Lk 10:25-37 INTRO Afghanistan: Recently we heard the story of how Private Martin Bell, 24, of 2nd Battalion The Parachute Regiment, was fatally wounded as he attempted to reach a comrade who had been injured in an explosion.

    based on 4 ratings
     | 13,336 views

    Quitting is often the easiest course of action when you encounter hardships in your life, but Quitting should never be an option for the Christian when doing the Lord’s Will. Persistence must always be our course of action.

    QUIT THINKING ABOUT QUITTING TEXT: 1 CORINTHIANS 15:58; Hebrews 12:1-2 TITLE: PERSISTENCE INTRODUCTION: Anyone and everyone that has ever attempted to faithfully serve the Lord and to live a life that honors Christ has met continual opposition, disappointments, and discouragements. These often ...read more

    The late Leonard Ravenhill said "Are the things your living for worthy of Christ dying for?" We need to recommit ourselves to focusing on what really counts in life.

    “FOCUS” “Are You Real?” by Donny Granberry Today I want to begin to help each one of us to gain a new “FOCUS!” In the first segment, we will “FOCUS” on our Faith, or we will go back to the beginning. The great English Evangelist, Leonard Ravenhill, ...read more

    “You did not chose me but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in my name He may give you” John 15:16.

    Theme: You are a chosen vessel of Christ Text: Acts 10:44-48; 1 Jn. 5:1-6; Jn. 15:9-17 The root of many problems in the life of believers is the lack of knowledge concerning their identity and their abilities.

    Practice Makes Perfect

    Contributed by David Crank on Sep 12, 2011
    based on 15 ratings
     | 13,215 views

    Your personal best requires that you take on the mindset of an athlete. An athlete runs to win. They exercise disciplines for the win when the door opens for opportunity. They sacrifice for what they believe in.

    Everyone has heard the phrase “Practice makes perfect” or at least I think they have. It’s such an old adage, I’m not sure if anyone knows who said it first. Regardless of who coined the phrase, the Bible is full of wisdom concerning this very notion of practice and results. ...read more

    God's blessings don't come as a result of the work we put in, but rather are totally dependent on God's grace.

    Studies In Genesis: Chapter 28 Series

    Contributed by Edward Hardee on Oct 16, 2011
     | 6,310 views

    This is a study of the book of Genesis. Genesis and Revelation are two of the most disputed books in the Bible. The premise of this study is the foundation of creation.

    Note: When doing a study on a book in the Bible you use a lot of resources. The major influence for me on this study of Genesis is The Genesis Record by Henry Morris. Title: Jacob at Bethel Jesus made a reference to Jacobs ladder that we read of in chapter 28. Where was this recorded in the ...read more
