    Real Homeland Security

    Contributed by Jeremy James on Nov 21, 2004
    based on 9 ratings
     | 2,251 views

    Security does not come from the things of the world but instead it comes from faith in God.

    In the passage Jesus is being arrested and Peter in anger and defense of Jesus draws his sword and hacks off one of the soldier’s ears. Peter was doing everything in his power to protect the person he loved. He was protecting Jesus, he was protecting his way of life, and he was securing ...read more

    How do we and the church find our direction?

    Hebrews 11:8-10, 13-16 Last week we came to understand that we must understand our purpose if we are to ever be what God wants us to be.

    An Easter Sunday Sermon from 1991, based upon John 20:1-18.

    What is there to say on this on this Easter Day? There is an ancient liturgy of the Church, a saying from our grandparents in the faith, so to speak.

    A scholar once said: "Matthew through John gives us the Gospel (good news) of Jesus Christ¨ The Acts of the Apostles give us the Gospel of the Holy Spirit¨ But it is in Romans that we are given the Gospel of God¡¨

    INTRODUCTION: What we have been learning so far in this series is mainly on the subject of church doctrine (A highly oversimplified look at the last few weeks would be this) „X The Doctrine of Sin is that we are all guilty of sin, all in need of a Savior „X The Doctrine of Righteousness is that ...read more

    Jesus did not condemn a woman caught in adultery, for himself to be condemned by God.

    The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery to Jesus, in order to have a basis for accusing him. They asked him, "Teacher, this woman was caught in adultery. In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?" Why did they bring this to ...read more

    The fourth of the seven last words of Christ on the cross.

    Matthew 27:46, ?Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? That is to say, My God, my God why hast thou forsaken me?? This scripture really made me think. It made me think because of the statement mentioned by Christ Himself about the Father. And it is an interesting statement because if you think about ...read more

    Any Christian who strayed away from the Lord is considered a "prodigal son". Are you one of them?

    Luke 15:11-25 Topic: Am I a prodigal son?

     | 3,662 views

    The body of Christ is linked together by the proclamation of truth, and only as strong as the weakest declaration of truth. The body of Christ faces the same barriers, and struggles, regardless of location, the big difference is not God, it is not the ba

    COMING TO GRIPS WITH THE MESSAGE 1 John 1:5-10 This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. 6If we claim to have fellowship with him yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth. 7But if we walk in the light, as ...read more

    based on 31 ratings
     | 4,009 views

    Some of Jesus greatest words and works happened at the table. Some of the greatest evil words and works happened there too.

    In today’s lesson there are two main things I’d like us to notice: A lot of exciting events of Jesus ministry happened around the dinner table, and, Evil is conniving, but God’s will wins. First, from the salvation of the sinful woman in Luke 7 to Zaccheus’ house in chapter 19, Jesus was known ...read more
