    Paul Preaches The Gospel Series

    Contributed by Freddy Fritz on Jan 4, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 954 views

    Acts 13:13-52 shows us that the unchanging gospel is rooted in God’s faithfulness and must be boldly proclaimed to all, no matter the opposition we face.

    Introduction I am preaching through the Book of Acts in a series titled “Turning the World Upside Down.” Imagining the gospel's astonishing impact in the first century isn't easy. There were a little more than 500 Christians worldwide at the time of Jesus' resurrection (see 1 ...read more

    God has been a problem a solver since the beginning of creation.

    Text: “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivers him out of them all” (Psalm 34:19). I am sure that you have said or you have heard someone say, “I have a problem or I have a multitude of problems I am dealing with.” What is being said is that there are situations of ...read more

    Live Until You Die, Die Until You Live

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Mar 23, 2009
    based on 15 ratings
     | 8,279 views

    We admire those who pursue life goals as long as they can; but our calling is to die to self. It will mean a change of values and of attitudes, but it will give us true life.

    I’m pretty sure that we can make a case for living until we die. It would not take a lot of effort to convince one another that we can approach life with gusto, squeezing every ounce of juice out. There’s a strong compulsion in us to extract all the value and the vitality we can get out from ...read more

    Struggling To Know Who We Are Series

     | 11,963 views

    Like Hosea's children, we name our selves by our sad history, by our isolation, and by our alienation. But in Christ our Brother all these defects are remedied.

    A good many of us, I would guess, are less than happy with our names. What Mom and Dad decided to call us before we had a voice in the matter. Well, I suspect a good many of us would like to change. Some of us just refuse to use our real names. We go by Butch or Bud or Sissie or some such ...read more

    Paul prays for the Church that God would be glorified in and through us

    Have you noticed how the more you want something the more likely you are to pray for it? And to pray for it consistently. That means if you want to know what someone is really passionate about, see what they pray for regularly. Well Paul is about to let us in on the great desire of his heart. ...read more

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Dec 27, 2022
     | 1,530 views

    Paul shares his inner thoughts and heartfelt desire with the Thessalonians. His testimony was blameless as he laboured for the believers at Thessalonica, but he always encountered opposition. We look at walking with God.

    MESSAGE 2 - 1 THESSALONIANS CHAPTER 2 - PAUL RECOUNTS HIS TIME IN THESSALONICA AND SATAN’S OPPOSITION THE PERSONAL RECALL {{1Thessalonians 2:1-2 “You yourselves know, brethren, that our coming to you was not in vain, but after we had already suffered and been mistreated in Philippi, as you ...read more

     | 5,791 views

    The world is reacting with anger, fear, or pride over the elections. That is not surprising. What is surprising is that the civil war has entered some churches. This is a topical message on how to deal with it.

    Introduction: The civil war is brewing. Did you see the young lady on the news? She was one of those marching in protest to the election results. And a reporter caught up to her to ask some questions. What she said was downright scary. She said that what we need is a revolution in order to ...read more

    There are four basic things that determine a person's world view and how they interpret their lives. This message looks at what Jesus has to say about the human heart.

    What’s Shaping Your World View 9/3/2017 Psalm 1:1-6 Mark 7:20-23 If I told you, because the Cleveland Browns were undefeated the last three games so they will most likely win the Super bowl, what would your reaction be?

    The docility of Mary is the opposite of willfulness of her sister Martha (Self-will run riot)

    Recently I read about a Sunday school class for three-year old’s. Their lesson for the day was the story of Jesus’ visit to the home of Mary and Martha. Afterwards, the teacher asked, “What would you do if Jesus were coming to your house today?” One little girl quickly replied, “I would tell my ...read more

    Being Servants And Stewards Of God Series

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on May 16, 2022
     | 2,953 views

    We can learn from the words of Paul to his accusers the perspectives we need to adopt in the face of opposition in ministry. Paul understands where his authority comes from, knows to whom he is accountable, and trusts in God's final appraisal of his works.

    1 Cor 4:1-5 Being Servants and Stewards of God We have covered the first 3 chapters of 1 Corinthians over the last 10 weeks. Today is our 11th Sunday on this book. • I believe by now we have an idea of the problems the church in Corinth is facing. • Surely this is not a happy thing for Paul, who ...read more
