    Do you feel a lack of growth? It could be that you are experiencing the effects of bad doctrine or that you need to re-connect to the root - Jesus Christ.

    The Colossians were Christians - they knew Jesus as their Savior. But what threatened them in the proto-Gnostic heresy was a lack of maturity. They were like plants - plants that hadn’t grown up and were stunted in their maturity. As Christians if we do not grow in our discipleship in Christ ...read more

    Since our life is just a mist that quickly vanishes, we must have a plan of action to maximize it and to be prepared to meet our maker.

    Introduction: A. One day a doctor called one of his patients into his office to deliver some very important news. 1. “I have received the results of your tests and I have some bad news and some good news.” 2.

    Many Christians are living far below the blessed life that God has prepared for them, it's time to break out and break through into the life God has prepared for us.

    Joshua 14:7-13 KJVS Forty years old was I when Moses the servant of the Lord sent me from Kadesh-barnea to espy out the land; and I brought him word again as it was in mine heart.

    Education, self-help books, and personal improvement efforts can make life richer and better. But nothing can do what God does when a person turns his or her life over to Jesus Christ. IN Jesus Christ, we can have victory in the fullest sense.

    THE PASSAGE BEFORE US TODAY IS THE UNDISPUTED BIRTH OF THE CHURCH. AND THIS BIRTH IS ACCOMPLISHED IN A VIBRANT, EXCITING MANNER. SO MUCH SO THAT IT IS EVIDENT TO THOSE NOT PART OF THE PROCESS. SO GREAT IS THIS BIRTH, THAT THOSE IN PROXIMITY COME TO FIN

    The Sadducees were Bible Scholars but they refused to believe in the resurrection; can we have the same attitude about Scriptures?

    Before reading our passage this morning, open your Bibles for a moment to 1 Corinthians 15:1-8….. Let us note that there is a gospel, meaning good news, which speaks of being saved from judgment to a place called hell, where all evil is forever kept separated from a holy glorious God! When a ...read more

    The Spirit gives us a new identity, a new vitality, and a new destiny.

    Have you ever gotten into your car, ready to roll, turned the key — or pressed the button — and all you get is *click*? Or maybe a weak turnover. Or maybe nothing at all. No engine. No movement. Just silence. This happened just a few weeks ago out in the church parking lot. I noticed a vehicle ...read more

    Fear, Death, Life

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Oct 26, 2010
     | 3,545 views

    It may seem strange to embrace death. But John could do so as he learned of fellow believers being killed, because he had a vision of the risen Christ as lord of life and death and even as lord of all human history.

    Takoma Park Baptist Church, Washington, DC July 27, 1986 The picture is indelibly etched on my memory, I'm sure because at the time the incident seemed so bizarre, so peculiar. The scene was an elementary school talent show; all of us had been groomed and polished and persuaded that we had ...read more

    What does it mean to suggest that we "killed the author of life"? Readings from C.S. Lewis and John 1 complemented this sermon.

    NOTE: The context of this sermon was a "Good Friday" service. The service began with a reading from C.S. Lewis’ "The Magician’s Nephew" in which Aslan ’sang’ Narnia into being. The prologue from John was also read. After some music, the crucifixion narrative was read, and then this sermon was ...read more
