    Remember The Sabbath Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 21, 2021
     | 4,089 views

    I want to change your thinking when it comes to God’s command for one day of rest. I want you to think more about what you are commanded to do rather than what you are not commanded to do.

    We are in a series featuring the Ten Commandments. We began with an overview of the scene when the Ten Commandments were first given in Exodus 19. And now we find ourselves examining the fourth commandment. Today’s Scripture “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor, ...read more

    Sharing Ministry Together

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 13, 2021

     | 5,774 views

    When the volunteer workload is placed on the shoulders of just a handful of people, then these individuals get burnt out; and since they can’t do everything, then a lot of needs go unmet. Ministry is something to be shared among all believers.

    I wish to begin our message by sharing a personal account contributed by a pastor who was serving at a church in Washington State during the wake of the Mount St. Hellens eruption. This pastor said, After Mount St. Helens blew up in May 1980, [the] church needed cleaning up. Ash was in the ...read more

    Our Inheritance In Jesus Alone Series

     | 2,639 views

    What Paul is wanting the church in Ephesus to know - and for us to know as well - is that we have a wonderful and glorious identity in Christ. Unfortunately, there are many believers today that do not understand or live into their God-given birthright as adopted children of God.

    Dr. Bradford Reaves Crossway Christian Fellowship Hagerstown, MD, USA www.mycrossway.org View this and other messages at: https://mycrossway.churchcenter.com/channels/8118 Today we’re in Ephesians Chapter 1, verses 11 through 14.

    Worrying about tomorrow does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow but it robs today of its strength.

    Don’t Worry About Tomorrow By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. PRAYER SCRIPTURE: - Matthew 6:34 “Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof”.

    Bearing Much Fruit!

     | 3,594 views

    Jesus said, if you remain in Me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing. Imagine living so close to Jesus that even your prayers become prophetic utterances because they are given in His name and will!

    If You Remain in Me John 15:1-8 Online Sermon: http://www.mckeesfamily.com/?page_id=3567 As time unfolds, providing us with the opportunity for retrospective contemplation over weeks, years, and decades, we often find ourselves questioning the impact we've had on the world around us. ...read more

    Lazarus represents the church a Royal Priesthood the 5-fold ministry called to perform the duties of reconciliation but had become sick and Jesus said, Lazarus was DEAD.

    Nowhere To Run, Nowhere To Hide! Series

    Israel acted as if God did not see their heart and their attitude. God saw all the meeting and plans with Egypt. God saw the attitude towards His word. How strange that so many people think that they can hide from God.

    Sermon: Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide! Scripture: Isaiah 30:1-14 NLT “What sorrow awaits my rebellious children,” says the Lord. “You make plans that are contrary to mine. You make alliances not directed by my Spirit, thus piling up your sins. 2 For without consulting me, you have gone down to ...read more

    The Pollution Scheme Series

     | 3,941 views

    The salvation from sin that God bestows through His Son, Jesus Christ, is likened to water. The devil can sometimes muddy the water and cause pain and confusion, as he attempts to pollute the living water within us.

    Jesus calls the quickening gift of the Spirit “living water” because mere human nature is . . . barren of all virtue by the crimes of the devil. - Cyril of Alexandria(1) In reference to the arrival of the Messiah, the prophet Isaiah declared, “For waters shall burst forth in the wilderness, and ...read more

     | 896 views

    Though we are hopelessly lost in the storm of sin and powerless to save ourselves, God in His mercy sent Jesus Christ — fully God and fully man — to rescue us through His perfect obedience, sacrificial death, and victorious resurrection.

    God’s Rescue Plan Romans 3:10-12; Psalms 14:1-3; Colossians 1:19-20; Hebrews 10:23-25 Picture yourself lost at sea — no land in sight, tossed about by relentless waves of indifference, selfishness, and rebellion.

    Message 14 - 1 Thessalonians Chapter 5:19 – Do Not Quench The Holy Spirit; Do Not Grieve Him Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jan 5, 2023
     | 3,697 views

    This important message is a fundamental teaching about the Holy Spirit. We will examine the work of the Spirit in a believer’s life, and look at ways we can quench the work of the Spirit within. We look at a number of ways we can grieve the Spirit God gave us.

    MESSAGE 14 - 1 THESSALONIANS CHAPTER 5:19 – DO NOT QUENCH THE HOLY SPIRIT; DO NOT GRIEVE HIM This message is an extension of the previous one. We are now going to consider the quenching of the Spirit in fuller detail. {{1Thessalonians 5:19 “Do not quench the Spirit.”}} (NASB) Here is a ...read more

     | 2,609 views

    Jesus wants us to be so connected to Him in this way – that His peace protects our minds and hearts against the invasion of anxiety.

    We have been doing a series of messages from the Gospel of John and today we are in John 14. In the beginning of this chapter, Jesus had just finished telling them that He is the only way, the only truth, and the only life and that the Father has been working through Him to accomplish His work and ...read more

    Just A Misunderstanding - Or - Just Being Contentious?

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Nov 3, 2023
     | 1,069 views

    We examine the CHORUS of a great old hymn that a few say is not doctrinally correct. Are those critics misunderstanding what the words mean, or are they being contentious? We carefully look at the work of Calvary in the message.

    JUST A MISUNDERSTANDING - OR - JUST BEING CONTENTIOUS? [1]. A HYMN CHORUS UNDER THE SPOTLIGHT There would be none of us who is without misunderstanding when it comes to biblical issues. We may try with God’s help to grasp a passage of scripture but sometimes it is not within our reach. Then ...read more
