    A Biblical Look At Divorce And Remarriage

    Contributed by Scott Coltrain on Dec 10, 2001
    based on 91 ratings
     | 5,999 views

    This is a study of what the Scriptures teach on the subject of divorce and remarriage. The Church has failed to up-hold God’s design for marriage and has misled many by teaching the permission of divorce and remarriage under the New Covenant.

    It is reported that one in two marriages end in divorce. What begins at a wedding ceremony usually with a minister, parents and friends increasingly ends in a courtroom with a judge, lawyers and strangers. The average marriage now lasts seven years. Fifty-five percent of all Americans say a ...read more

    Built Up, Bound Up, Lifted Up

    We are so into upward mobility; but God's version is different. It involves building us up so that the powerless have power; binding up the wounded so that they can understand brokenness; and lifting us up so that we can use our power for others.

    I can remember when the word "furlough" was a happy word. It was a happy word because it meant that somebody in your family was coming home from military duty for a while. "Furlough" for me brings up a memory of standing, as a small boy, in Union Station in Louisville, waiting for the train to ...read more

    As a body of believers we are encouraged to rise up, build up, and work up in the strength of the Lord.

    By: R. AuBuchon Jr. In the past two weeks we have been invited to get in the boat and work together as a team. Today we are challenged to rebuild the walls that will fortify family life, church life and community life. Much like in the days of Nehemiah the walls that once protected and gave us ...read more

    We are going to see 3 things about the early church; first they got fed-up with the world, then they got filled-up with the Spirit, and then they got fired-up to witness.

    FED-UP, FILLED-UP, FIRED UP Acts 4:7-31 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: TEA PARTY FOR DAD 1. A mother had gone shopping and left dad in charge of their 2½ year-old daughter.

    It’s important to note that when this man picked up his mat on the Sabbath, he didn’t break the Bible’s commands. He broke the cartel’s extra commands that grew up around the Bible like barnacles on a ship’s hull.

    Happy Father’s Day to you. When I consider the privilege of my three children, the words of pastor John Drakeford toward his children are salient. “To [my children] have put gray hairs in my head, bills in my pocket, illustrations in my sermons, happiness in my home, and pride in my heart.” Be ...read more

    Christ Lifted Up

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 25, 2025
     | 57 views

    Looking to the crucified Christ does not erase every snake, yet it drains sin’s poison and gives real, resurrecting life.

    So close, and yet so far. That phrase has a sting to it, doesn’t it? When your destination is right there. When what you’ve longed for is finally within sight. When you can feel the finish line in your bones… and suddenly the road you’re on dissolves beneath your feet. Israel knew that ...read more

    A sermon that looks at the dynamics of Mark chapter 3 20 - 35 and attempts to show how often in the Christian life in order to go up we need to go what the world considers as down.

    2 Corinthians 4:13-5:1 Mark 3:20-35 In 1982, David Pawson was invited to speak in New Zealand. His had a reputation as a bible teacher, so people the people of Wellington were surprised when he said that he had a prophecy. He carried two burdens that God had given him for our nation.

    it can be hard to see what something really is, so we have to back up and look at what it really is and what its really trying to say. we have to do that with scripture too.

    God's coming does not depend on us. In fact, He has already come. And the only things we have to do to receive him are the same three things Isaiah told the people of Israel so long ago.

    I got a recording of the Messiah for my 20th birthday. That was the summer after I dropped out of my first college; I was living at home getting ready to go to my second one and trying to make some kind of sense out of my life. There was no way on earth I could make sense out of anybody else’s. ...read more

    Can God supply all your needs? The Disciples struggled with that idea... and so do many of us. Why do we have such a hard time trusting God in this and how can we learn to believe Him more?

    OPEN: I once read the true story of a family that was sitting down at the dinner table for their evening meal. But one of the girls wasn’t happy because they were having leftovers, and she complained about it. The dad was not happy about that and spent a few moments explaining to her ...read more
