    Sin Is A Disgrace To Any People

    Contributed by Melvin Newland on Jul 12, 2015
    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,198 views

    Now it would seem ridiculous to ignore sin & Satan completely, so they don’t. But what God calls sin in the Bible isn’t necessarily what they consider to be sin. And the idea of a real Satan is hard for some to accept.

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK ILL. As many of you know, before Ethel & I moved here to Flint Ridge, we lived in Brownsville, TX. And while we were there I was part of the Ministerial Association. Unlike some ministerial groups, it was not a formal organization, ...read more

    Who Are Your Friends?

     | 15,579 views

    Everyone needs friends. The reason the Toy Story franchise is so popular is because everyone can relate to the idea of having friends who stick with you no matter what. But for followers of Jesus this definition doesn't go far enough.

    Randy Newman wrote a song called, "You Got a Friend in Me". Most folks recognize this song as the theme to the popular Toy Story franchise. According to Randy a real friend is someone who loves you and sticks with you even through your worst troubles. This is a great definition of what a friend ...read more

    THE IDEA OF GOD'S PROGRESSIVE REVELATION THROUGH TIME IN THE REDEMPTION STORY IS INTRODUCED BY PAUL IN THE TEXT. WE EXPLORE HOW GOD COULD NOT SHOW THE AMAZING TRUTH OF REDEMPTION ALL AT ONCE TO MAN BUT NEEDED THE WHOLE OF HISTORY TO WRITE THE STORY TO US

    A Starter Or A Finisher

    based on 1 rating
     | 18,279 views

    This message is based on Philippians 3:13 where Paul describes someone running in a race and actually finishing it. The idea coming from this message is that we are all running in a sprint individually that we must complete in order to run in the relay.

    A Starter Or A Finisher Scriptures: Genesis 19:17,24-26; Philippians 3:13; Matthew 24:5-13 Two weeks ago, before the ice storm last week, I told you that I was pressing on. I was pressing on regardless of my past failures and missed opportunities. I told you that once Jesus laid a hold on me I ...read more

    4 Christmas Questions.

    Contributed by Robert Walderman on Dec 18, 2014
     | 3,582 views

    When standing next to a young girl looking at Christmas tree ornaments, she turned to her mother and asked in puzzled tone why one ornament read, 'Jesus is the reason for the season.' Could it be she had no idea of the Christ of Christmas.

    On the Christian Church’ calendar, the weeks leading up to Christmas are called, ‘Advent.’ It is a time to reflect and prepare for the celebration of Christ’s birth. Over the next few weeks ending at our Christmas Eve service, I want to talk to you, appropriately enough, ...read more

     | 21,378 views

    Today we are going to learn that the name "Adonai" is different from most of the other names for God because it describes a relationship with God and not just characteristic of God. We are all born with the mistaken idea that we are owners. We talk about

    Purpose: To extol the lordship of God over our lives. Aim: I want the listener to see themselves as God's slave.

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Jun 4, 2011
    based on 6 ratings
     | 5,776 views

    Deuteronomy 22:10 (NLT) says “You must not plough with an ox and a donkey harnessed together.” The idea here is that there are certain things that are totally INCOMPATIBLE. They were never meant to be placed in the same yoke. What about dating?

    Genesis 24 – THINGS THAT DON’T GO TOGETHER – Part 3 The engine of a Fiesta in a Ferrari! Pickles and icecream. There are certain things that definitely DON’T go together. Aluminium foil and microwaves (Julie rediscovered this recently). Children and cancer. Wouldn’t ...read more

     | 10,566 views

    We know in farming & agriculture that long before a harvest is reaped there has been some ploughing of the soil. Any farmer can tell you that the idea of reaping a crop without ploughing the soil is ludicrous! Is it any different with the soil of the hear

    Bunbury Sun am 17/07/2011 “The call of the ploughman” Intro: *** Yesterday at the in-laws I did something I had never done b/4 ….. at least not w/ a machine. I ploughed some ground for my father in-law w/ a rotary hoeing machine. At first I found it quite a task to control & ...read more

     | 9,357 views

    A skeleton for a church anniversary sermon. Our story is obviously unique to us, especially since we are mission work overseas, but my approach could spark ideas on how to tell your church’s story in your unique way.

    Through Faith Alone Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Oct 9, 2017
     | 4,666 views

    The concept that we are saved by grace alone through faith alone is a solidly Biblical teaching. Last week, we looked at grace, this week we will examine the idea of faith alone. Both grace and faith are exclusive and must stand alone.

    Through Faith Alone (Romans 3:23-28) 1. I had a good time visiting Dale and Katie Daniels and Mary Ann Bolinger in Warsaw/Winona Lake area. I went from there to Luke’s house. But the GPS had me go too far south and then took me back north. It got me there, but it was complicated and probably ...read more

    Crowns Anyone!

     | 8,315 views

    I want you to remember that part of that exciting anticipation is His promise to reward His servants for a job well done. Tonight, I want you to see that Scripture not only supports the idea of eternal rewards, it spells out the specifics.

    Crowns Anyone! 1 Corinthians 3:10-14NASB Bob Carlyle, who sang Butterfly Kisses a few years back, also sang these words in the song Heaven: “Sometimes this tired old world starts bringing my heart down, but you gotta bear the cross if you want to wear the crown.” To have ...read more

    Going Overboard About Our Possessions Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Sep 18, 2013
     | 3,927 views

    The main idea shared here is "don't go overboard about things you'd throw overboard." The message looks at how often only a life-threatening situation can cause us to let loose of our possessions.

    MAN OVERBOARD: Don’t go overboard about things you’d throw overboard. - Jonah 1:5. - This trip was undertaken for financial reasons. They didn’t just set sail because they wanted to see the ocean for a while. They did it because there was money to be made. They didn’t ...read more

    Matthew 5:43–48 continues Jesus' teaching on love and humility, a part of the Sermon on the Mount. After commanding believers not to seek revenge in the face of insults, Jesus expands the idea of love to include one's enemies.

    Sermon on the Mount - Matthew 5:43-48 (Loving Enemies) MATTHEW 5:43-48 43 You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' 44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 that you may be children of your Father in heaven.
