    God has work for us to do in His vineyard--the Church. Are we willing?

    When the Romans used to attack a city, it was sometimes their custom to set up at the gate a white flag, and if the garrison surrendered while that white flag was there, their lives were spared. After that, the black flag was put up, and then every man was put to the sword. Throughout our lives, ...read more

    You can tell from the text of my sermon today I am going to preach about the tongue.

    Perhaps some are assuming the reason I am preaching on this subject is because some members in the church are mis-using their tongue in the church. But if you think this you are absolutely wrong!!! God as my witness as I stand in this pulpit before you and the God I love and serve…I AM ...read more

  • Lesson 21. The Discipline Of The Tongue (James 3:1-12) Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Apr 3, 2021
     | 4,589 views

    From his discourse on idle faith, James proceeded to discuss the idle speech. The failure o bridle the tongue, mentioned earlier (1:26), is now expanded. As disturbing as those who have faith with no works are those Christians who substitute words for works.

    1Not many of you should become teachers, my fellow believers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly. 2We all stumble in many ways. Anyone who is never at fault in what they say is perfect, able to keep their whole body in check. 3When we put bits into the mouths of horses ...read more

  • Rapid Advance Of The Gospel Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Aug 6, 2024
     | 223 views

    Thessalonica was a wonderful testimony to a rapid advance approach to ministry. Paul mentions being there three sabbaths (Acts 17:2). There were many who were won to Christ and built up in faith in this short time before the team, Paul, Silas and Timothy moved on.

    My wife and I took part in a nine-month ministry training program called Rapid Advance. The name of the training came from this chapter and from a summary of how the Gospel moved in the book of Acts. Paul did not spend his years of ministry planting a single church and trying to perfect it. He ...read more

     | 3,696 views

    Paul is helping us understand how our thought process can dominate our actions and how to address recurring idle thoughts.

    Matthew 22:1-14 What are you looking at? Where do you return when your mind is not occupied by some current demand? Our thought process is dominated, isn’t it? We tend to think about a pet project, a pet peeve, a lingering hurt, some secret desire that we keep coming back to (even though we ...read more

     | 1,883 views

    Paul has a warning for those who are IDLE AND DISRUPTIVE, which suggests that worship services in the early church were often interrupted by unruly members, and the Thessalonian church was no exception.

     | 1,095 views

    What is Laziness? It is being unwilling to work or being idle. Here is where Paul admonishes the church against laziness.

    There were a few people falsely teaching the Thessalonian church that being as Christ was returning soon, people should stop working, lay aside any responsibilities, quit planning for the future, and just sit back and wait. Be that as it may, their absence of action just drove them into ...read more
