  • Was The Early Church Socialist, Even Communist? Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 13, 2021
     | 1,522 views

    Some commentators and politicians who belong to the Superficialist School of Bible Interpretation really mess up when they say Christians should be socialists because the early Church was.

    Jesus told His disciples, "Blessed are you poor" as Luke records it, and Matthew writes "Blessed are the poor in spirit." Filled with the Holy Spirit, the early Christians, or many of them, decided to take Jesus literally. They pooled their resources, as Luke records in the Acts ...read more

  • God Loves A Cheerful Giver

    Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Apr 18, 2021
    based on 1 rating

    The “tithe” is not our money; it’s God’s. When we refuse to trust the church in handling the tithe, and feel that we know the best use for it, then this is contempt for God and His Spirit, and we are treading on dangerous ground!

    I remember when my wife and I first got married that she would tell me stories about the Christian camp she attended as a child, because camp meant so much to her growing up. One of the songs they sang at camp was called, “God Loves a Cheerful Giver,” which was about Ananias and Sapphira; and I ...read more

     | 3,491 views

    Ananias and Sapphira sold a piece of land and gave part of the money to the apostles. But there was something not quite right about this and it became clear very quickly. This is another outline from a mini-series on Acts I preached several years ago.

    Introduction: the early church faced a significant problem: taking care of new converts and their needs. The last verses of Acts 4 describe how people sold things they owned and gave the money to the apostles to help meet these needs. Barnabas, a Levite of Cyprus, even sold a piece of land and gave ...read more

  • Two Kinds Of Appearances

     | 1,962 views

    For many today, life is all about appearances. We live in an age where people want to APPEAR one way but the reality is the opposite of their appearance.

    Illus: During the Oscars in Hollywood in 2004, the actors and actresses tried to give the impression that they cared about poverty. Listen, if they really cared about the poor as they pretend to care, instead of buying those dresses that some of the actresses paid hundreds of thousands of dollars ...read more

    Having ambition is good but when you use it to stand well in the sight of others and greed is in your heart, that ambition added with greed can lead to deceit and hypocrisy.

  • The Blame God Game - A 2 Part Message

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Jul 18, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,173 views

    God is love. He disciplines His children. Many believe that means He ‘punishes,’ or ‘scolds’ or ‘spanks’ with severe means in the best eternal interests of the Born-Again Christian.

    How do you reconcile the merciful goodness and love of God with pain, sorrow, sickness, and suffering? The Blame God Game first started in the Garden of Eden when God commanded Adam to “work it and take care of it.” He then told Adam that he was “free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you ...read more

     | 16,179 views

    What keeps you from giving everything to God? Check out two sets of people who were following Christ and made two different decisions about their lives, causing two different outcomes.

    This morning I want us to look at two sets of people: one set held nothing back from God, and God used them to change their world and ours too. The other set, not so much. Because they kept something back from God, their lives came to a quick end. Before we look into the lives and circumstances ...read more

    Matthew 7:21-23 (KJV-BRG) Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and ...read more
