Living As One Of Christ's Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Feb 6, 2005

Today we’re going to talk a bit more about what it means to be an ambassador of Christ. In particular we’re going to think about what’s involved in ambassadors of Christ doing their job to the best of their ability. Paul is aware of the urgency of the task, of the need for people to hear about ...read more

Contributed by Jonathan Twitchell on Oct 26, 2006

This chapter begins with the names of a couple of fellows who did not want to see the walls rebuilt around Jerusalem. It may very well be that they weren’t all that concerned about walls, but that they were representative of a larger group who simply had no regard for the Jews and didn’t want them ...read more

Those Bones, Those Bones! (Hix)

Contributed by Jimmy Haile on Oct 20, 2012

Eyes seeing, ears hearing, feet walking, mouths talking, but dead without God. Rubbing elbows with the dead, that's why we have jobs, school, and shopping, and doctor appointments, to reach out to those who are dead!

Ezekiel was the Watchmen! Verse 1-2-The hand of the Lord came upon me and brought me out in the Spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley; and it was full of bones. Then He caused me to pass by them all around, and behold, there were very many in the open valley; and indeed ...read more

The Body Of Christ – Part Ii Series

Contributed by Chuck Brooks on Mar 11, 2016

There is only one body, but many members. We are all dependent on one another. It is not just the pastor’s job to care for the members of the body—that would be humanly impossible. Each member must function as he or she is called.

(1 Cor 12:13 NKJV) For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body; whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free; and have all been made to drink into one Spirit. 1 Cor 12:14 For in fact the body is not one ...read more

In Genesis 1 we see the order of creation and God's wisdom, the design of creation and God's goodness, the purpose of creation and God's love. If God can make such a grand and beautiful creation, rest assured He can do a better job with you!

Genesis 1 is the account of God's creation. This is the revelation of God to Moses. No one was at the beginning except God. • No one would know what happen unless God reveals. Moses spent many one-on-one, extended moments with God. • When he was in the wilderness shepherding the ...read more
