    Peter cited Joel's prophetic statement in explanation of the Spirit's descent on the Day of Pentecost. He saw this prophecy as the promise of what still lay ahead for all who follow the Lord.

Even on the male and female servants in those days I will pour out my Spirit. “I will show ...read more

     | 5,631 views

    Deciding eldership and deaconship is not to be taken lightly: Paul tells Timothy in 1 Timothy 5:22 not to hastily select leaders. “Do not lay hands upon anyone too hastily and thereby share responsibility for the sins of others;

    Have you ever felt unheard or as though you can’t find an ear to listen to your concerns?

    Contributed by Carl Allen on Apr 20, 2009
    based on 8 ratings
     | 7,019 views

    Why did God give us the Bible? Why did He feel that He needed to inspire man to write the words that lay before us. These are just a few of the questions that I believe are answered in the text for today.

    God’s Perfect Word The Purpose of the Scriptures 2 Timothy 3:14-17 Intro: In our text tonight, Timothy is challenged to maintain a close relationship with the Word of God. Paul tells him of the benefits that come from such a relationship. He is reminded that it is the Scriptures which have taught ...read more

    based on 11 ratings
     | 9,100 views

    After our exile in the dark places of Egypt we are summoned to return to the place we came from, chastened and up-built by the experience which we have been through, and equipped for whatever may lay ahead.

    THE FLIGHT INTO EGYPT. Matthew 2:13-15; Matthew 2:19-23. We have already established that Joseph Ben-David was a dreamer (Matthew 1:20). Although his angelic visitations took place in dreams, in visions of the night (Job 20:8), they were not nebulous apparitions. A real, tangible, substantial ...read more

    The Separation Of Church And State

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jul 9, 2014
     | 5,896 views

    How does all of this "Separation of Church and State" fit in with what the Bible teaches? Should we as Christians lay aside our beliefs if and when the Lord calls us to serve in the government of our nation? God forbid!

    Suppose your nation was fighting a war. And … there were great and talented leaders in charge. Your nation had never lost a war and was a dominant power in the world. However, in this nation public opinion was turning against the war and the elected officials who were worried about their ...read more

     | 10,142 views

    Big Idea: We are God's prized possession! This sermon brings into focus several aspects of our identity in Christ and what it means for believers to be God's prized possession, as the Apostle Peter lays out in his first epistle.

    INTRODUCTION Do you remember playing that “What do these things have in common?” game when you were younger? You’d have to look at a group of pictures or a list of words and determine what the common denominator was. For example, if I say: “Black, Brown, and Grizzly…What do these three have in ...read more

    Paul said to command the rich to do something good with their wealth. 1- Command the rich to put their hope in God 2- Command the rich to be rich in good deeds 3- Command the rich to lay up heavenly treasures

    INTRO.- Command the rich. Do we ever have the right to command anyone? Maybe not, but God does. God can command us to do whatever He wants because He is God. It’s like parenting. Parents can tell their kids what to do and when, but of course, that doesn’t mean they’ll do it. But parents have ...read more
