    Contributed by John Oscar on Mar 5, 2018
     | 6,040 views

    Using Jesus reaction in the temple, the idea of being a consumer of a religion versus a worshipper of God is explored.

    Consume or Worship Gospel of John Series CCCAG March 4th, 2018 Scripture- John 2:13-22 Illustration- How many people here had a dad that was the disciplinarian of the house?

    Dramatic monologue, as if the speaker were "Dives" ... an appeal to move beyond "cool" and distant religion into compassion.

    Takoma Park Baptist Church, Washington, DC January 26, 1986 I am Dives; and I have come to you today only because for this brief moment the unbridgeable is bridged, the chasm is spanned. I can speak to you only for a little while, and even then I am not certain that I can fully get through to ...read more

    Prophetic signs in religion, politics, nature, society, and mission show that Christ’s return is near.

    Introduction – Bad News and Good News This morning I have bad news and I have good news. We’ll spend a little time with the bad news, but most of our time with the good news. Is that all right? The quality of life for the future is a cause for concern. With the multiplied problems facing our ...read more

    A Lady once came into my office and said, she did not believe in religion or that church mattered.

    Faith That Is Part of Life “ Early in the morning they left for the Desert of Tekoa. As they set out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, “Listen to me, Judah and people of Jerusalem! Have faith in the LORD your God and you will be upheld; have faith in his prophets and you will be successful.” 21 After ...read more

    Open Your Eyes And Your Ears

     | 14,086 views

    Normally when we think of spiritual blindness in the Word of God we equate it with the lost or the hypocritical Pharisees. In our text God charges His peole with unparalleled spiritual blindness. It is time for God’s people to open their eyes and see.

    OPEN YOUR EYES AND YOUR EARS ISAIAH 42:14-20 INTRODUCTION: An elderly woman stood on a busy street corner, hesitant to cross because there was no traffic signal. As she waited, a gentleman came up beside her and asked, "May I cross over with you?" Relieved, she thanked him and took his arm. The ...read more

    Check Your Motive

    Jesus contrasts the Teachers of the Law with the poor widow. In the former, we see people more interested in themselves than in God; hypocrites, pretending to be something they were not. In the latter, we see a lady who loved God authentically and completely.

    Check Your Motive Mark 12:38-44 In March 2009 Bernie Madoff pled guilty to running the largest Ponzi scheme in history. Bernie’s last name is appropriate, because he literally “made off” with billions of dollars belonging to his investors. A Ponzi scheme is pretty simple in concept: you convince ...read more

    God's Love Is The Key

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Mar 9, 2019
    based on 5 ratings
     | 12,683 views

    What makes Christianity completely different and unique from all the other religions in the world is ‘love’ because it is the only religion where Jesus Christ, who is love Himself, comes to dwell within each willing heart when invited to.

    I am firmly convinced that every human being has an unquenchable longing for love, and to love and be loved, because God is love (1 John 4:8). The love a person feels for another is just a minute shadow of God’s love for EVERYONE! Jesus Christ is the very definition of love itself and the empirical ...read more

    Most religions teach, along with the Bible, that God hates and despises the iniquity of sin and holds every individual responsible for their sin

    PART 2 The Foolishness of God “For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.” (1 Corinthians 1:25) Humans are not sinners because they sin; they sin because they are sinners.

     | 2,988 views

    Babel is revisited when people are led more by fear than by faith. God caused confusion to people who thought they could provide a man made monument of their own religion that would provide them what they desired. They made a religion according to their o

    Faith’s Essential Content Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Jun 3, 2024
     | 1,106 views

    Romans 4:23-25 provides a concise statement of the Christian faith: Lordship of Christ, his sacrificial death on the cross, and his resurrection. Salvation depends on believing these essentials. Religions that proclaim Jesus as a good teacher or prophet but deny these tenets are false religions.

    Intro We have been examining Abrham’s faith as a model for the kind of faith God is looking for in you and me. Abraham’s faith was a saving faith. After describing his faith, Paul says in Romans 4:22: “And therefore ‘it was accounted to him for righteousness.’” Paul has grounded his teaching on the ...read more

    The Holy Spirit convicts us of any form of dependency other than Jesus Christ. Jesus said to the Pharisees, "You hypocrites; as it is written: ‘These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.

     | 4,862 views

    Those who assume positions of influence and leadership must be willing to pay the price to hold such positions. In this lesson we'll explore the price Peter paid in Antioch when he played the hypocrite and was rebuked by Paul.

    There are people in this world who possess the natural ability to lead and command the respect of others. Whether you call it charm, charisma, magnetism, or whatever, such people wield a powerful influence on those who look up to them as the embodiment of all they would like to become ...read more

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 18, 2023
     | 1,160 views

    The world sees the Church as divided, fighting, greedy and hypocritical. Christ sees the Church as the unity of the Spirit. We look at Heresies and False Teachers; facing Tribulation in the world, and our wrestle against Evil Princes and Demons.

    ASPECTS OF THE CHURCH - ITS TURMOIL, CONFLICT, STRUGGLE AND ENDURANCE – PART 1.
