    In this passage of Scripture, God is placing judgment on a sinful world. How long will today's Christians just sit idle on the seat of do nothing before they band together and pray for repentance and deliverance?

    In this passage of Scripture, God is placing judgment on a sinful world.

    Don't Let Anyone Defraud You Of Your Reward Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Mar 29, 2019
     | 3,510 views

    Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you. Such a person also goes into great detail about what they have seen; they are puffed up with idle notions by their unspiritual mind.

    Titus ministered in an area where the culture influenced the Christian community with immorality, independence, and idleness. These same character traits exist in our culture as well - placing Christians on opposite sides when they don’t need to be.

    Wouldn’t it be great if everyone in the church was like you? I’ve heard it said before that “church is great – except for all the people.” The fact is, the church is the people – imperfect members of the human race who came to Christ from various backgrounds and dysfunctions. Sometimes I wish ...read more

    There grows a tendency to lazy idleness in the church and in the families today. Apathy will destroy any spiritual grow. The harvest is before us... what role do you have? That's the preacher's job?

    WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO? THERE STANDS BEFORE US A GREAT HARVEST… By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com Luke 10:2 Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his ...read more

    Did The Tribulation Just Begin?

    Contributed by Michael Stark on May 2, 2020
     | 5,907 views

    In these times of lockdown, some have begun to imagine that the Great Tribulation just began. Rather than focusing on such idle speculation, the Word of God would encourage us to shine brightly in difficult times to turn many to righteousness.

    “Now concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need to have anything written to you. For you yourselves are fully aware that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. While people are saying, ‘There is peace and security,’ then sudden destruction will come upon ...read more

    Exploding Manhole Covers Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 31, 2003
    based on 7 ratings
     | 3,673 views

    A series of exploding manhole covers in Washington is compared with the series of unexpected and disruptive events in Paul’s life. Surviving becomes a matter of one’s vision of where we have come from and where we are going.

    It all started in Georgetown. On M Street, in broad daylight, a manhole cover suddenly exploded into the air, flying six feet straight up and landing with a heavy clatter. There were no injuries, but there were fiery flames, an acrid smell, cars dodging one another, pedestrians pumping ...read more

     | 13,531 views

    We’ve all experienced potholes in the road of life that either slow us down, delay our journey or sometimes totally disrupt it. Potholes are anything in life that keep us from moving forward.

    Potholes Mark 8:27-35 Bumpy streets are so commonplace in New Orleans that residents have taken some extreme measures to draw attention to particularly bothersome potholes. There was the birthday party in New Orleans East for a 5-foot-wide pothole on Cannes Street. They had cake, balloons and a ...read more

     | 470 views

    Is there any such thing like the right type of anger in Christianity? Absolutely! There is the anger that leads to sin and has dire consequences and gives glory to the devil and there is the type of anger that disrupts satan’s work and give God the glory and honor.

    This is our second part in our three part sermon entitled "Dangerous Christian" Of course this is speaking on a spiritual plane of our position in Christ, and the authority through that relationship, to disrupt, confuse and dismantle the kingdom of darkness.

    1 John 5:4-5 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

    You can learn from observing people. It is amazing that King Solomon could see this much from his palace. Solomon was observing people who were working hard, and he observed that their inward motive was envy. We could find this type of person very commonly.

    You can learn a lot from watching people. You could be at the Atlanta airport at the busiest airport in the world or at a quiet rural restaurant and you will find a variety of people. We can become students of people. Knowing what makes people tick and learning from others is wise. We are ...read more

    Did you know that there are times that the church should be noisy? Not from idle talking and milling around during worship—but a church should be noisy just like the remnant was. A church should be noisy when it’s working.

    1. Initial celebration (3:10-11) 2. Individual hesitation (3:12) 3. Ideal harmonization (3:13) One time there was an old farmer who wasn’t much into modern conveniences. As a matter of fact, he didn’t have much contact with the outside world at all. He thought that everything he needed was right ...read more
