    How Hardships Work For Good

    Contributed by Greg Nance on May 25, 2013
     | 3,888 views

    Acts 5 gives us two cases where the church faced hardship. One was internal and the other was external. Both were used by God for the good of the church. How can that happen for us today?

    (Read Acts 5 with slides) What does it take to ruin a church? What does it take to stop God? Acts 5 gives us two stories about threats to the church, one from the inside and the other from the outside. First. The threat from the inside produced two deaths and great fear upon the whole ...read more

     | 4,708 views

    There are several spiritual "games" which we play,legalistically, in an attempt to justify ourselves (look better, even before God). But only an internal, true change, counts before God.

    Outline for CBF AM June 28, 2009 Intro. 2:1-16 -- the error of self-justification by performance comparison with other people. 2:17-29 -- the error of self-justification by other minor externals *** Errors I.

    A New Kind Of Righteousness Series

    Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Jan 30, 2005
    based on 39 ratings
     | 6,851 views

    Jesus’ new kind of righteousness is based on: 1. Internals rather than externals. 2. Transformation rather than avoiding transgressions. 3. A relationship rather than rules.

    Perhaps you have seen it. It is a bumper sticker which displays the slogan: “Christians Aren’t Perfect, Just Forgiven.” It is a catchy phrase, the only problem is that it misrepresents the Christian life. Is that all we are, “just forgiven”? Is there no more to it than that? Do we, in the ...read more

    Pharisee Or Holiness?

    Contributed by Craig Benner on Oct 22, 2014
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,453 views

    There are many who would argue that a Pharisee and one who believes in holiness are one in the same. I beg to differ. True holiness affects the external and the internal. It affects the acts and the attitude.

    Are you a Pharisee or are you Holiness? Let us see if there is a difference and determine to understand why some people have trouble differentiating between the two. Pharisee = a person in the role of religious service who believes that his or her title and/or office automatically make him or her ...read more

    This is a sermon in support of EMMS International (formerly Edinburgh Medical Missionary Society) in support of their Advent 2016 Appeal. It focuses on God's presence with us in the crisis of life and our responsibility to be with others.

    Tithing, An Issue Of The Heart

    Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Jul 26, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 11,644 views

    The very idea of giving sets off an internal war in us. Whose money is it? It’s a very personal subject. And the biblical concept of stewardship is God owns everything

    TITLE: TITHING, AN ISSUE OF THE HEART SCRIPTURE: I CORINTHAINS 16:1-2 Over the past month it has been noted there has been a decrease in our giving, this usually happens in most Churches during the Summer months when families take Summer Vacations and ordinarily happens again end of the year ...read more

     | 17,682 views

    Christian unity is not based upon agreeing with one another or having the same doctrinal beliefs. Nor is it compromising your beliefs for the sake of unity.

    Accepting Jesus as our Lord and Savior made us a member of His family, the Body of Christ, and we also became His bride. We were grafted into the vine, the bloodline of Jesus. This made us into an instant blood relative to every Christian throughout time, co-equal with every believer as a brother ...read more

    Are you spending quality time with your Creator and having an intimate walk with Him? Considerable time in the presence of God will facilitate us not only to be spirit filled but have the mind of Christ.

    Opening illustration: It has been said, “Any idiot can be complicated; but it takes genius to be simple.” Indeed, the most effective oral and written communicators are those who take profound truths and make them simple. This has bearing on every area of our lives. When we communicate ...read more
