    Self Service Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Aug 28, 2006
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,315 views

    As Christians we desire to do things for the Lord. But sometimes we are really just doing them for ourselves. Learn how to spot self service and your attitudes while serving.

    Most Christians understand that belonging to the Lord means we serve Him and will do things that He tells us to do. We like to think that we do it because we are so thankful for what He has done, or because Jesus commanded us to preach the gospel and make disciples or because we see the example of ...read more

    Driven To Denial Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Nov 28, 2018
     | 4,595 views

    Although there were clear warnings, Peter ignored those and denied Jesus. We may tend to be critical, but we have been guilty of failing to heed the warnings of the Spirit. Warnings left unheeded are of no value.

    Driven to Denial Mark 14: 66-72 The long night of pain and suffering for Jesus had begun, and the difficulty continued to mount. He suffered in agony, praying under a heavy burden in the Garden of Gethsemane. After His prayer had ended, Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, led a multitude, sent by ...read more

    Philadelphia: The Church With The Open Door

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Feb 9, 2020
     | 6,366 views

    Like Smyrna, the Lord offered only encouragement for Philadelphia, with no rebuke. They were a people of little strength, and yet they held great potential. Christ promised to open doors no man could close. He reminded them of His preeminence and the security of their future.

    Philadelphia – The Church with the Open Door Revelation 3: 7-13 Philadelphia is the sixth church addressed by Jesus. Like Smyrna, Jesus offered no rebuke, only encouragement for their faithfulness and endurance in the midst of opposition. Jesus knew they were a people of “little strength,” and yet ...read more

    An Honest Word About A Horrific Place Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Feb 14, 2018
     | 6,531 views

    Most people believe in existence beyond the grave, with the majority assuming everyone will eventually wind up in heaven, or some place of euphoric bliss. Heaven is reserved for the saved, but hell will be a reality for those apart from Christ.

    An Honest Word about a Horrific Place Mark 9: 42-50 As I studied this passage, I was reminded of the common attitude that permeates modern society. We live in an age when most believe that truth is relative, rather than absolute. Most believe in existence beyond the grave, with the majority ...read more

     | 3,002 views

    The report Timothy brought back of the Thessalonian believers put new life into Paul. The believers were standing strong in faith and love. They were longing to see Paul and Silas too. The report is so encouraging they pray day and night for the church.

    The chameleon is an unclean creature. Christians should avoid its characteristic of changing opinions to suite our environment.

    THE CHAMELEON When the new nation of Israel was getting ready to go into the land that God had promised them, their leader, Moses, gave them instructions on how they should live as God’s people. God wanted them to prosper, but for this to happen, they had to avoid certain animals that could harm ...read more

    Laodicea is nothing more than a “room temperature” church. It has become just like its environment

    The Letter to the Church in Laodicea Rev. 3: 14-22 The book of Revelation is often viewed as a strange book full of mysterious symbols that are difficult or impossible to understand. Yet the Bible states just the opposite! The word "revelation" means "to unveil" or "to ...read more
