     | 8,541 views

    You and I are living in the age of the church or the age of the Holy Spirit, as some people like to speak of it. In this age, God is calling out a people to his name from both Jews and Gentiles to compose the church.

    Don't Be A Show Off

    Contributed by Jeffrey Sims on Dec 14, 2018
     | 6,846 views

    This could be used as a stewardship sermon and hopefully would get people to realize that their is more to being a Christian than just filling a pew. Hopefully this sermon compels people to look beyond the superficial and truly look to their heart.

    (a note about the opening illustration; It is not my own but i don't know where I actually found it originally, it is tucked away with some notes I have.) There was a man who called a church and asked if he could speak to the Head Hog at the trough. The secretary said, "Who?" Then ...read more

    Establishing A Covenant Series

     | 3,806 views

    When a church begins growing, and when people of differing backgrounds come together, it can result in chaos without established rules. Properly communicated expectations within a membership covenant can hold people accountable.

    If and when we begin sharing our faith and as we begin gaining spiritual territory for the Lord, then our church will grow as more and more people are added. This means we will be in charge of leading those who are new to our fellowship; and when people of differing backgrounds come together, it ...read more

    Our passage contrasts the difference between people & God. People are temporary & they change. By contrast, God & His promises are sure. His promises never fail for His Word endures forever.

    ISAIAH 40: 6-8 [ADVENT I SERIES PART III] A VOICE OF CONTINUANCE [ Psalm 103:15–17; James. 1: 21-25; 1 Peter 1:23- 25] The voice has just told us that fallen humanity will be visited by the eternal God who will indwell His people.

    This story teaches us about the heart of God. He loves people who have lost their way and people who are broken. This story is about redemption. It’s about restoration, but it is also about responsibility.

     | 5,144 views

    Two stories from Mark 7 illustrate the mystery of answered prayer: God adapts his glorious plan to the requests of ordinary people, even when granting the requests is greater than people can imagine.

    THE MYSTERY OF (UN)ANSWERED PRAYER—Mark 7:24-37 Many people have had the experience of praying—passionately, even desperately—and not receiving the answer they were seeking. That can be confusing, even troubling, and we naturally ask, “Why?” Was God not listening? Is he not able to do what we ask? ...read more

     | 2,608 views

    In Ephesians chapter one, Paul gives us some keys to a meaningful and effective prayer life. The main key has to do with other people. The simple fact is that Paul prayed for people other than himself!

    Alba 1-22-2023 HOW TO PRAY FOR EACH OTHER Ephesians 1:15-23 Here are some prayers that children have prayed: Debbie, age 7, prayed, Dear God: Please send a new baby for Mommy.

    Bad things have happened to people many times over the years. There were some people who spoke to Jesus about a recent event. His reply wasn't something they expected to hear.

    Esther lived within the Persian Empire, an environment hostile to the Hebrew people. Although their situation seemed dire, God had a plan to preserve and prosper His people. The opening passage provides insight to the culture in Persia.

    The Decadence of the King Esther 1: 1-9 The opening chapter of Esther reveals the ungodly condition of the society in which God’s people were dwelling. It was a culture that possessed and promoted unbridled lusts and insatiable appetites. The people within Media and Persia had one goal in life: ...read more

    Lesson #17 [id3] The Priesthood Of Christ Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Oct 19, 2020
     | 3,882 views

    The book of Hebrews was written for the Jewish people. According to Old Testament teaching, these people were raised with firm convictions that a priest was necessary to their relationship with God. The priest served as a go-between or an intercessor between man and God.

    20 Tom Lowe Lesson #17 [ID3] The Priesthood of Christ (HEBREWS 5:6-10) Text (NIV) 6 And he says in another place, “You are a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.” 7 During the days of Jesus’ life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions with fervent cries and tears to the one who ...read more

    God’s kingdom is at work in this world, but many people fail to take advantage of their opportunities. Instead of entering the kingdom, some people only ask questions about it. Salvation is not a theory to discuss; it is a miracle to experience.

    Solomon built his temple. The worship at the temple by the people of God almost immediately needed to be reformed. Amos and other prophets called the people back to God. The reformation continued with Martin Luther and continues in the church today,

    1 Kings 5:1-5; 8:1-13 “God’s Presence” INTRODUCTION “Reformed and Always Reforming” is a phrase that catches the spirit of our Reformation commemoration. We remember that five hundred years ago the Church had strayed away from the gospel of Jesus Christ. It had become deformed and, as a ...read more

    Jesus showed mercy to lepers, prostitutes, adulterers and associated with people society treated as people to be avoided. Jesus sought out those who were down and out. When they met Jesus, their lives were transformed.

    There is something very gratifying about being accepted by people of high social status.
