    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Jan 16, 2017
     | 5,715 views

    In the beginning of James 1:27, James highlights that part of pure religion in the eyes of God is looking after orphans and widows in their distress. Let's take a look at why this would be an indicator of being truly religious.

    ARE YOU RELIGIOUS? (part two) Recap: James 1:26, "If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not keep a tight rein on his tongue, he deceives himself and his religion is worthless." We looked at chapter three and realized why James highlighted the tongue-because it's the hardest to tame. ...read more

    The Zeal Of God

    Contributed by Damien Saylor on Aug 23, 2020
     | 3,934 views

    Do we have the zeal of God? Does it look like we’re saved, or does it look like we’re on a treadmill? We’re moving a lot, but we’re not going anywhere.

    Sermon - The Zeal of God - For me, as a Pastor, I want more than anything to be, as the world says, relevant. - I try to keep in tune with what’s happening in the world, & in the church. - But there’s a very false narrative going on, & has been going for a long time. The ...read more

    This sermon looks at how little things can keep us from moving to a higher level in life and in God. It looks at Achan and his actions at Jericho. Selfishness and greed will hurt those we love.

    Rising To The Next Level---At Bridge City Church. Joshua 6:15-7:1 1 Timothy 6:6-10 Text Read Joshua 6:1-5 What if I told you that a baby by the name Jaleth in Lowand, which is an island off the coast of Norway in the Norwegian Sea, started talking two days after he was born, was walking ...read more

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Nov 12, 2023
    based on 3 ratings
     | 1,135 views

    Does the penalty need to be paid twice? We begin to look at the fact that the Church does not enter the Tribulation; look at the facts and evidence that it does not happen. We have been delivered from wrath that is coming.

    THE CHURCH DOES NOT ENTER THE TRIBULATION – REASONS THAT PROVE IT – PART 1 OF 3 INTRODUCTION I find it reprehensible, the claim that the Church, and Christians of course, will enter the Tribulation. Why do I find it reprehensible? If you think Christians must enter into the Tribulation, even ...read more

    Jesus is teaching the followers an important attitude of effective discipleship. Let’s look at the key actions steps of this attitude that Jesus expects us to apply in our journey to fruitfulness.

    I look at asking, seeking, and knocking, that is, the start and the finish of faith to receiving from God; much like the great rockets of the old NASA space programs like that of the Mercury and Apollo missions.

    A.S.K. Text: Matthew 7:7 Remember: The devil doesn’t appose: -what you want to do… -what you’d like to do… -But, what you are called (by God) to do. The struggle is a wrestling match between: -the vision given and the vision fulfilled… -the promise and the provision… -the asking and the ...read more

    Stimulants to Thanksgiving 1- Our singing should be accompanied with thanksgiving. (Thanksgiving Sunday) 2- As I read through the Bible, it becomes evident that God that intends for His people to be grateful. 3- It should not take a special national holiday to motivate and stimulate us to give ...read more

    Luke 2:1-20 MOMENTS AT THE MANGER SCENE Perhaps the most well-known Christian symbol of Christmas is the manger scene. There are manger scenes in people’s front yards.
