    Witnessing To Postmodern People

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 29, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 4,347 views

    This message discusses postmodernism. In today's moral relativism, truth is seen as subjective, and it can supposedly change with circumstances. So, how do we share about Jesus who is "the way, the TRUTH, and the life?"

    Our message this evening is entitled, “Witnessing to Postmodern People.” As we seek to understand how to better share our faith in today’s western culture, we must begin with a discussion on modernism and postmodernism. Modernism and postmodernism are eras, or time periods of societal thought and ...read more

    There are days in our life that stand out above others and we will never forget those days as long as we live.

    • We can remember the day we got married In all fairness, some of us men do forget our anniversary, which is not a good thing to do!

    There are so many shocking things happening in our society today that we are continuously getting the "shock treatment.”

    Illus: When hurricane Andrew ripped across Florida, destroying everything in its path, the President sent the National Guard to help the victims of one of the worst tragedies of recent times in our nation.

    Receiving Treasure In Heaven

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Apr 5, 2022
     | 1,566 views

    Our treasure on earth eclipses our desire for "treasure in heaven." Only God can give us a desire for "treasure in heaven." Therefore, we must forsake our treasure on earth and follow Jesus to receive "treasure in heaven."

    You will notice how this passage begins. We are told that Jesus ‘was setting out on his journey’ (v. 17). And we know where that journey will lead. It will take Jesus to Jerusalem, where a cross awaits Him. He has already foretold His death twice in recent days, and He will speak of it again—in ...read more

    The Thessalonians # 9

     | 1,493 views

    Since Paul now is switching from the relationship between himself and the Thessalonian Christians to giving instruction on conduct, “walk,” the word “ethics” comes up since this has to do with conduct.

    The word “ethics” is one of the most important words in the English language. Of the ten most IMPORTANT WORDS in the English language, “ethics” should be ranked toward the top of the list! It is a word that every SCHOOL TEACHER should DRILL into the minds of students. It is a word every SUNDAY ...read more

    Branches - Broken And Grafted

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Apr 11, 2022
     | 2,177 views

    The main thing to learn from Romans chapter 11 is the fact that God wants to restore us to Himself. He wants us, Jew and gentile alike, to be His people and realize how precious a thing He has done for us.

    Alba 3-10-2022 BRANCHES – BROKEN AND GRAFTED Romans 11:11-32 Today is the day we refer to as Palm Sunday. It commemorates the event when Jesus entered the city of Jerusalem at the beginning of that week when He would die on the cross for us. It was a day of celebration. Jesus was being hailed ...read more

    The women go to the tomb to find a dead Jesus, but they are given life and hope instead. We have the same hope and life in Christ alone.

    4.17.22 Luke 24:1–12 1 On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women went to the tomb, carrying the spices they had prepared. 2 They found that the stone had been rolled away from the tomb. 3 When they went in, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 While they ...read more

     | 1,552 views

    Now we come to the last of the ten commandments. Perhaps God saved this tenth commandment until last for a special purpose.

    The Lord, in the previous nine commandments, has told us, "Thou shalt not...”. The tenth commandment deals with the thing what will CAUSE US TO VIOLATE ALMOST EVERY ONE OF THE OTHER COMMANDMENTS, THE SIN OF COVETING.

    Fifth Commandment (5 Of 12)

     | 1,775 views

    Again I want to remind you that God has just delivered the children of Israel from Egyptian bondage. They could not deliver themselves, but God, by His marvelous grace delivered them.

    Now, as a new nation was beginning to be established, God gave these laws to them so they would know how to govern themselves. Why? Because a country cannot exist without regulations and laws. Some people today feel these laws are now archaic. Illus:Those who feel that we are past the age ...read more

    In Romans 12:2 we read, And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

    It seems that one of the easiest things in this world to do is follow the crowd and let others do our thinking for us. The lost world is convinced we are so dumb we can not think for ourselves. For example, we cannot even listen to the president of the United States address this nation on ...read more

    This parable appears only in the Gospel of Matthew.

    The Lord Jesus would often take some unusual things and use those things to teach us a spiritual lesson. In this parable, He used WORK and WAGES to teach us a spiritual lesson.
