    What Is A Disciple, Part 2: In The Eye Of The Storm Series

    Contributed by James Jackson on May 2, 2020
     | 5,028 views

    A disciple is someone who imitates the example of Jesus and who follows the instructions of Jesus no matter how often he gets interrupted by the world. Today, we’ll look at how that played out in the life of one disciple, in one of the most famous stories in the Gospels.

    What is a disciple, Part 2: In the Eye of the Storm Mark 6: 45-52; Matthew 16:22-33 We are in the second week of talking specifically about what it means to be a disciple of Jesus. You might remember last week we said that “A disciple is someone who imitates the example of Jesus and who follows ...read more

    Parking Lot Talks About Your Pastor Series

     | 759 views

    In the Book of Titus, Paul instructed him telling him to appoint elders in the churches. This by its statement proves God wants you to belong to a church and have a Pastor. How should I respond to the fact that God calls Pastors and wants us to follow one.

    Sermon # 28 - Discerning Prophecies Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Nov 22, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 524 views

    Jonah was a prophet of God sent with a prophetic word for the people of Nineveh. In today’s context, ‘How can we discern who is a true prophet of God and who are false?’ God’s word gives us clear instructions on how to test and treat prophecies.

    We read in Jonah 3:3-4, “So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of Jehovah. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city, of three days' journey. And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be ...read more

    Of Scribes And Kings - Applying God's Principles For Life Series

    Contributed by William Akehurst on Dec 21, 2018
     | 3,601 views

    As believers, we are instructed to write down GOD's Word and even to journal it day by day. Studying the Bible is one thing, but writing down the words contained upon the tablet of your heart, will open a greater understanding, if you will simply try it.

    Psalm 44 A Psalm Of Hezekiah? Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Dec 1, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,860 views

    This psalm, like Psalm 42, bears a superscription dedicating it “to the chief Musician for the sons of Korah[2]” and identifying it as a Maskil[3], meaning instructional. From this psalm we can see how much that generation still had to learn about the ways of God.

    On Being Hospitable Series

    Contributed by Eloy Gonzalez on Jun 19, 2009
    based on 14 ratings
     | 11,224 views

    Part II of the Four-Part Vision: God instructs his people to practice hospitality. What does this mean as we receive guests in our congregations? Are we ill-prepared to welcome our guests? Or do we receive them as the blessing and gift that God intended?

    Congregations are families. The longer that they are together, usually the harder it is to let other people become part of the inner circle of the church. And yet, we know that – just as we are to be hospitable as families – we are also called to be hospitable as groups of believers. The writer ...read more

    Does Living The Life Of Faith Matter? Series

    Contributed by Todd Brock on Nov 13, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,833 views

    Living a life of faith really does matter. It matters to our family. I believe how we live has eternal significance! God would not have written down so many instructions for us to live a life of faith if it really didn’t matter!

    Introduction: Where have we been so far? April 13, Hebrews 10:19-22 – We found that our ability and the drive to live faithfully was provided by the cross of Jesus. Through the sacrifice of Jesus and his place as our High Priest we have been called to be children of God and therefore are called ...read more

    When You Pray

    Contributed by H.b. Charles Jr. on Jan 16, 2012
    based on 9 ratings
     | 31,124 views

    "When You Pray" is an exposition of Matthew 6:5-8. In this passage, Jesus tells us what not to do when we pray. His instruction can be summarized with two prohibitions: (1) Do not pray like the hypocrites. And (2) do not pray like the Gentiles.

    WHEN YOU PRAY Matthew 6:5-8 There is a principle of Bible interpretation called the principle of repeated mention. It means that the repeated things in scripture are usually the emphasized things. This principle leads us to the theme of our text. Verse 5 begins, “And when you pray.” Verse 6 ...read more

    Lesson 8: For Their Continued Growth Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Jul 23, 2018
     | 5,353 views

    God should be recognized in even the simplest affairs of life―didn’t Paul instruct believers to, “Pray about everything”? It was never God’s intention for man to direct his own steps; and only those journeys where God is the pilot are truly prosperous.

    Jesus Teaching At The Temple Series

    Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Jul 9, 2016
     | 6,949 views

    Jesus is not asking the Jews to become expert judges of one another– far from it. He is instructing them (and us) to know who it is we should worship; and when we worship, to do so properly without our own views inserted.

    Jesus Teaching at the Temple John 7:1-24 Introduction - The gospel of John screams of the faith that we should have in Christ -- It is the clearest example of living life FOR the one who redeemed you and I - Today we will see two different stories played out before us: -- The first deals ...read more

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on May 9, 2023
     | 1,382 views

    The Old Testament prophets wrote of things to come and strained to look into those things to understand them; things for our instruction. The Holy Spirit moved them to write of Christ who would come. The grace of God is revealed and we look forward to the glorious hope to come.

    Principles For Healthy Relationships With Others Series

    Contributed by Kerry Tilley on Feb 23, 2019
     | 7,048 views

    As believers, we are instructed to develop healthy relationships with others, Christians and non-Christians. Our behavior towards one another is not to be confined just to those in our social circle, or those who have the same ideologies; our behavior to all people should be reflective of Christ.

    Consider the following principles for developing a healthy relationship with others. I. LOVE EVERYONE A. "A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’" (Matthew 22:39, NLT) B. "“But if you are willing to listen, I say, love your enemies. Do good to those who hate ...read more
