    Deny Ourselves? Take Up The Cross? Series

    Contributed by Scott Chambers on Sep 27, 2011
     | 7,431 views

    This message is the sixth in a series that deals with some of the difficult sayings of Jesus. This message examines the meaning of denying yourself and taking up your cross.

    Sacrifice is a word that has the ability to send shivers down the spines of the majority of us. Of course Christians have reconciled themselves to the idea that this is a part of following Jesus. I would venture to say that our understanding of the concept of sacrifice is much different than ...read more

Then, as ...read more

    What is the method of baptism seen in the New Testament? You might be surprised to discover that many who do not practice immersion, admit that immersion is the New Testament pattern! So what does the New Testament say? Read on!

    BIBLICAL BAPTISM Calvary Baptist Church May 11, 2003 and November 21, 2010 Recently my 7 year old son was baptized at nearby Lake Tahoe.

    God invites us to follow him. He does not command us to do what he has not done. He sets himself as the example for our actions.

    THE GODS we worship write their names on our faces, be sure of that. And a man will worship something —have no doubt about that, either. He may think that his tribute is paid in secret in the dark recesses of his heart—but it will out. That which dominates will determine his life and ...read more

    As we kick off the season of Lent in 2013 we take a look at the 40 days of temptation of Christ in the wilderness and see what this means to us in our lives for Christ today.

    There is a saying, “In essentials, unity; in non-essentials, liberty; in all things, charity.” This is the first Sunday of the Lenten Season. Lent is a non-essential. Lent is not a Biblical doctrine nor is it a Scripturally mandated activity. On the other hand it is not sinful nor ...read more

    Joy and celebration are taking place in the streets of heaven. He rejoices over all those who repent of their sins and seek to know Him. He wants you to join Him in His joy. He wants you know His great love for you. Rejoice with Him! Come to the party!

    Have you ever thought about why God would create us to have children? He could have created us like the angels who don’t have children. He could have created as many people as He wanted all at once. He could have created a few people and continued to create more as He saw fit to populate His ...read more

    James 5 has a lot to say about the rich and the proper response to abuse by those who are powerful. His wise words are clear and firm, making the path of faith obvious. He pulls no punches.

    Prosperity, Patience and Prayer: this is the outline for James 5. 1. Prosperity: 5:1-6 This is a prophetic oracle against the rich oppressors. Wow! Does that page in your Bible smell a bit like smoke? Here James steps into prophetic mode and writes with an imprecatory imagination of doom and ...read more
