    Philippians And Stress 4: Performance-Driven Stress Series

    Contributed by Vic Folkert on Mar 26, 2020
     | 4,406 views

    Performance-driven stress is overcome by a clearer focus on Christ. Not pressure to perform, but passion to take hold of the prize.

    PHILIPPIANS AND STRESS: PERFORMANCE-BASED STRESS—Philippians 3:1-21 As we read Philippians, we have been focusing on how to handle stress. One of the biggest sources of stress is pressure to perform. It starts with children: “Be a good boy.” “Be a nice girl.” “Make Dad proud.” “Don’t make us ...read more

    Jesus could have moderated his stance to protect Himself. But in Mark 3:1-6 Jesus did just the opposite. He did it to help someone with a withered hand, and to prompt the Pharisees to do their part in fulfilling the plan of redemption.

     | 4,410 views

    As Paul continues to defend doctrine, he asks the Galatians 6 rapid-fire questions in 5 verses.

    INTRO: These next two chapters are going to be a little complicated. The 60 verses that make up Galatians 3 and 4 are said to be some of the strongest writing that Paul ever penned. His opponents, the Judaizers, were using every possible means to enslave the believers in Galatia, and Paul was not ...read more

    January 20, 2024 In the 1st chapter of Revelation, the focus of the vision was entirely on the Being walking in the midst of the Lampstands and not on the Lampstands themselves.

    Jesus calls us to tell the truth in a way that goes far beyond being legally accurate.

    Liar Liar – Matthew 5:33-37 Amish buggies probably don’t have speedometers. How do they know if they’re breaking the law?

    Can A Christian Use Marijuana?

    Contributed by Scott Coltrain on Aug 28, 2015
     | 5,844 views

    With the legalization of the recreational use of marijuana, the Christian must evaluate if using pot is an acceptable practice or a sin.

    In those States where the use and sell of Marijuana is illegal, the answer is straightforward. The Christian must abide by the laws of secular government (Romans 13:1-2, 5) which means that the use and sell of Marijuana is clearly prohibited. As our Nation moves closer to the legalization of ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 44,376 views

    Jesus has given us, the body of Christ, the power and authority to act on his behalf. Legally, He has given us His "Power of Attorney." We can legally function in this world just as He functioned when He was here!

    Turn with me to Matthew 28. We’re going to read verses 18, 19 and 20. (18) And Jesus came and spake unto them (the disciples) saying, All power (this is the Greek word exousia and it means “authority”) is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Because all authority is given unto me in heaven and ...read more
