What The World Needs Now Series

Contributed by James Wallace on Mar 31, 2021

What the World Needs Now "is love, sweet, love." But what does that kind of love look like, especially in the context of the great sin? Jesus provides us with a powerful lesson about the kind of love we need to receive and offer to others.

Most of us here are familiar with that hit song written by Burt Bacharach, “What the World Needs Now.” And of course, as bad as I am with notes, I’m even worse with lyrics, but in this case, I do remember the next few words—“Is love, sweet, love.” And admittedly, the song strikes a chord with ...read more

Warum Antwort Gott Meine Gebete Nicht? (Why Doesn't God Answer My Prayers?)

Contributed by James Dina on Mar 31, 2021

Wir haben so lange gebetet, so hart, ohne Ergebnisse. Es gibt große Gewissheit, dass er jedes Gebet hört. Je länger ein Gebet verzögert wird, desto vollkommener wird es endlich herauskommen. Je tiefer die Stille, desto lauter die Antwort

WARUM ANTWORT GOTT MEINE GEBETE NICHT? (Why Doesn't God Answer My Prayers?) "Also, ich sage euch: Bittet, und es wird euch gegeben werden; suchen, und Sie werden finden; klopfen, und es wird euch geöffnet werden." (Lukas 11:9) Wir beten, bekommen aber keine Antworten. Wir ...read more

Regardez Et Priez (Watch And Pray)

Contributed by James Dina on Mar 31, 2021

Regardez et priez, afin que vous ne tombiez pas dans la tentation. Regarder excite la prière, car chaque ennemi que nous voyons nous fera prier plus sérieusement. De plus, regarder, c’est prier. S’il y a une vraie observation, le regard lui-même est la prière.

Regardez et priez « Puis Il est venu aux disciples et les a trouvés endormis, et dit à Pierre: « Quoi! Tu ne pourrais pas regarder avec moi une heure ? Regardez et priez, de peur d’entrer dans la tentation. L’esprit est en effet disposé, mais la chair est ...read more

Contributed by James Dina on Mar 31, 2021

Amarezza (Bitterness)

Contributed by James Dina on Mar 31, 2021

"L'amarezza è come bere veleno per topi e aspettare che il topo muoia." (John Ortberg Jr.). Contribuisce alla malattia fisica e non ci permette di sperimentare la pace che Dio vuole per noi. Vivi in pace con tutti. (Romani 12:18).

Amarezza (BITTERNESS) "Lasciate che tutta l'amarezza e l'ira e la rabbia, il clamore e la calunnia siano messi via da voi, insieme a tutte le malizia. Siate gentili gli uni con gli altri, teneri, perdonati l'un l'altro, come Dio in Cristo ti ha perdonato". (Efesini ...read more

Contributed by James Wallace on Apr 5, 2021

The Last Will And Testament Of Jesus Christ Series

How To Deal With Sin And Guilt Series

Contributed by James Wallace on Apr 19, 2021

Many options in the religious and secular world are given for how to deal with our everyday experience of sin, the guilt it brings and the dread of potential ultimate condemnation. The Book of Hebrews is adamant that there is only one solution for sin, and no other substitutes.

The great American psychiatrist Karl Menninger, author of the book, Whatever Became of Sin, once stated that if he could convince patients in psychiatric hospitals that their sins were forgiven, 75% of them could walk out the next day. His statement underscores the struggle that all of us human ...read more

How To Successfully Navigate Life Series

Contributed by James Wallace on Apr 19, 2021

Walking in the dark can be a dangerous thing, both physically and spiritually. Jesus explains that He is the light that shines in the darkness. How can we all appropriate that light to show the way in our own lives?

How many of you out there have ever had any experience with sleep-walking? I imagine we could all share some interesting stories about our sleep-walking experiences. But since I’ve got the floor this morning, you get to hear about mine. I have actually walked in my sleep only about three times ...read more

Your Response To The Word Of Christ Series

Contributed by James Wallace on Apr 19, 2021

How do you respond to the Word of Jesus? Is following Jesus an obedience-optional exercise for you? If it is, you stand to lose a great blessing--the freedom that only being a true follower of Jesus can provide.

Last week I asked you a critical question: What must a person believe, in particular about Christ, to be sure of going to heaven The answer, of course, is that person must believe He is God, very God of very God, the God-Man. This morning I’m going to ask you another compelling question: What ...read more

The Only Priest Who Matters Series

Contributed by James Wallace on Mar 7, 2021

Many so-called Christian churches claim that believers can only maintain a right relationship with God and the hope of heaven through the priests, or mediators, that they have authorized for these purposes. Does God's word support such a teaching. Find out from Hebrews 7:1-19.

Breaking Point: Faith That Saves Vs. Faith That Doesn't Series

Contributed by James Wallace on Mar 10, 2021

At the height of popularity, Jesus makes hard statements that thin the crowds. He says many of his disciples didn't really believe. And they fell away. What's the difference between the faith that saves and the kind of faith that doesn't? This story reveals that truth.

I’m sure that there are many of us here who have known or encountered people who were strong Christians from everything we could tell, but who have, for one reason or another, fallen away from the faith. They no longer claim to believe, they do not practice what Christ taught, they no longer ...read more

Dealing Wisely With Unbelief & Opposition Series

Contributed by James Wallace on Mar 10, 2021

If we stand for Jesus, we will inevitably face the same kind of opposition that He did. How do we respond? His example gives us a clue as he faces both the unbelief of his own family, and the deadly opposition of israel's leaders.

Concealing The Word Of God

Contributed by James Dina on Mar 14, 2021

The counsels of God, His truths, must be revealed. It is a dangerous thing for any man to conceal the Word of God, either in his opinion or in his practice. Speak the truth to one another in love.

CONCEALING THE WORD OF GOD "For I have not concealed the words of the Holy One." (Job 6:10b) "Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost has made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he has purchased with his own ...read more
