    The point is that Jesus is the focus of the Old Testament, so don’t ignore it, but rather embrace it.

    SEEING JESUS IN THE OLD TESTAMENT Text: Acts 13:13-23 Introduction 1. Illustration: One of my biggest heroes was a man named Dr. Stanley Horton. Dr. Horton was the leading theologian in the Assemblies of God for over 50 years. One day, I had the pleasure of having lunch with him, and then ...read more

    Let's consider God's 5 investment funds; these reflect the 5 purposes of the church (5 investment funds comes from Rick Warren at: https://pastors.com/five-funds/)

    Session 2: This second study looks at three more passages on spiritual gifts. It also discusses "the view of cessation" and "the difference between talents and spiritual gifts."

    Last week, we began our study on spiritual gifts by discussing the work of the Holy Spirit. We learned that an individual is filled with the Spirit at the very moment of salvation, when he or she confesses Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. We discovered that the phrase “being filled with the Holy ...read more

    Stewardship (3 Of 4)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 11, 2022
     | 1,280 views

    Again we would like to turn our attention to those passages in the Bible that deal with our being stewards of the money God has blessed us with.

    I would like to remind you that stewardship is taught in both the OLD and the NEW TESTAMENTS. In Matthew 23, Jesus rebuked the scribes and Pharisees for what they were NOT DOING, while recognizing what THEY WERE DOING. He noted that they were careful to tithe of every plant that produced ...read more

    We humans often have a hard time remembering things. Maybe your memory has gotten so bad that you figure that within a few years you’ll be able to hide your own Easter eggs.

    Do This In Remembrance. Luke 22:7-13NLT A man was working in his backyard one day, when his neighbor began talking to him over the fence. He said, "Yeah, my wife and I went to one of those seminars yesterday, you know, where they teach you ways to improve your memory and such.” ...read more

    The text I read to you came as the Levites gather for the dedication of the city wall; It was completely rebuilt in 52 days! Happiness and joy can be heard among this Jewish group of believer’s.

    Receiving 20/20 Vision— And Beyond. Nehemiah 12:42b-47TLB When Kathleen’s teacher called her to the front of the class to analyze a sentence, she panicked. As a recent transfer student, she hadn’t learned that aspect of grammar. The class laughed at her. Instantly the teacher sprang to her ...read more

    The Cultural Impact Of Worldview & Apologetics

    Here at the beginning of the twenty-first century, Apologetics as an evangelistic endeavor and intellectual theological outreach finds itself in something of a paradox. When the West thought of itself in terms of resting on broadly Judeo-Christian assumptions, the discipline was not as desperately ...read more

     | 8,898 views

    We are tools in the Hands of God. We do nothing good in the eyes of God unless He is in it.

    Throughout this series, we have looked at where God interjects, or otherwise interferes with the course of human events. Because if left up to our own ways and devices, we would flounder and fail. But God knows our hearts, and despite the wickedness of our hearts, God gave us Jesus, “while we were ...read more

    We cannot fully understand the New Testament without first understanding the Old Testament. This message looks at the Tabernacle as the Old Testament pattern of Worship www.gracecommunity.com

    We come to a place in our study of worship that we must move into the Old Testament if we’re going to understand the New Testament and our proper stance in worship today.

     | 8,396 views

    There were four men carrying a fifth friend, who was very sick. They couldn't get to Jesus directly, so what did they do instead?

    Introduction: Jesus loved people. Many times in the Gospels we can read that He healed someone, performed a miracle, preached, taught, or in some way or another was involved with people. Certainly, He seldom went or stayed where He wasn’t wanted, or if the place didn’t accept Him. The events in ...read more

    A sermon about learning to forgive as God has forgiven us.

    “The Unmerciful Servant is…Me” Matthew 18:21-35 Oh, how I love this parable. If there ever were someone who got what they deserved, it’s the unmerciful servant! He owed a debt of 10,000 talents. A talent was about 130 pounds of silver and was equal to about 15 years of a laborer’s ...read more

     | 5,505 views

    I know that we do not give God that 100% control. So, I set out to find a Scriptural example of a man or a woman who did not give that control over to God to see what we can learn from that example.

    Introduction Last week, we began a new series about the four big areas of our life that God must win. The first one we talked about was God must win our choices. At the end of the day, there ought to be more checks in God’s column on things that I chose to do God’s way rather than yielding to the ...read more
