  • Encouraging One Another Series

    Contributed by Clark Tanner on Nov 16, 2000
    based on 85 ratings
     | 8,894 views

    An incomprehensive study of the 'one another' verses. Part 6

    This word that is translated, “encourage” in some translations and “exhort” in others, requires some special attention before we get started. It is ‘parakaleo’. Now, I am not a student of the Biblical languages. But my resources tell me that this word comes from the same root word that ...read more

  • Confessing To One Another Series

    Contributed by Clark Tanner on Nov 16, 2000
    based on 79 ratings
     | 7,895 views

    An incomprehensive study of the 'one another' verses. Part 7

    When I chose this topic as the final installment of our study on the ‘one another’ verses, it was chosen as last only by virtue of where it fell in the New Testament. The first one, “Building Up One Another” was from Romans 14, and each sermon after that has come in order of the epistles ...read more

  • Whose Side Are You On?

    Contributed by Dan Erickson on Nov 21, 2000
    based on 144 ratings
     | 13,674 views

    A true unity in the Lord is something we must never take for granted, and something for which we ought always to pray and work

    A few weeks ago another pastor told me, "Dan, things are not going the best at my church. It seems there is always controversy and division over something or someone. But, I guess church fights are normal. From what I understand, it is unusual for a congregation to go more than two years without a ...read more

  • Divided We Fall

    based on 151 ratings
     | 7,921 views

    Church conflict dishonors the Lord and can do great damage to people's souls

    RYAN: Oh, don't give me that, Andy! Anyone with half a brain knows that I am right. ANDY: Are you saying I am stupid? Listen, Ryan, you better take back what you said or I'll throw you halfway across the room! RYAN: Yeah? You and what army? ANDY: Don't get me mad, Ryan. These hands are ...read more

  • A Blueprint For Building

    Contributed by Dan Erickson on Nov 25, 2000
    based on 204 ratings
     | 11,330 views

    with Christ as our foundation, we as a church and as individuals need to make sure we build with the right materials; make sure we stay God-centered; we need to rely on the Lord's strength and wisdom and avoid the temptation to take shortcuts

    This church building was constructed about nine years ago. These are the blueprints for our church. Whoever put them together did a fine job, and they provided direction for the folks who built this structure which we often call First Baptist Church. It is good to keep in mind, though, that ...read more

  • No Tripping Allowed

    Contributed by Dan Erickson on Nov 25, 2000
    based on 164 ratings
     | 5,836 views

    About spiritually tripping another person, or as Paul says, being a stumbling block to another Christian.

    Though one of the objectives of football is to knock the other guy down, tripping is not allowed. If the Packers' Ross Verba is blocking the Vikings' John Randle, trying to prevent him from sacking Brett Favre, he is not allowed to stick out his leg and trip him. If he does, and the referee sees ...read more

  • The Welcoming Church Series

    based on 14 ratings
     | 11,425 views

    Church is a foreign, strange enviroment to seekers. How can we develop into a place of welcome as the church? What habits can we adopt that will make us the place of welcome that God wants us to be?

    I owe thanks to Pastor wes Richard for the basic outline of this sermon. As well, Steven Covey, who was Wes’ inspiration, served as a starting point for me as well. ______________________________________ Sermon for CATM January 9, 2005 - The Welcoming Church - Romans 15:1-7 A few days ...read more

  • Division

    Contributed by Lou Nicholes on Jan 18, 2005
    based on 14 ratings
     | 4,856 views

    Dissension in the Corinthian church was the first problem addressed by Paul. He introduces the thoughts of this passage with an appeal for unity.

    THOUGHTS ABOUT THE PASSAGE: Being much concerned about the rise of denominations in the church, John Wesley tells of a dream he had. In the dream, he was ushered to the gates of Hell. There he asked, “Are there any Presbyterians here?” “Yes!”, came the answer. Then he asked, “Are there any ...read more

  • Knowledge

    Contributed by Lou Nicholes on Jan 18, 2005
    based on 5 ratings
     | 4,301 views

    The true condition of the Corinthian believers was that they were still engrossed with human, earthly wisdom. We can spend a lifetime accumulating human knowledge and still not learn how to have a personal relationship with God.

    THOUGHTS ABOUT THE PASSAGE: Knowledge is exploding at such a rate—more than 2000 pages a minute—that even Einstein couldn’t keep up. In fact, if you read 24 hours a day, from age 21 to 70, and retained all you read, you would be one and a half million years behind when you finished. How can it be, ...read more

    based on 40 ratings
     | 4,776 views

    Paul’s appeal to Christians to be united in the body of Christ is still valid.

    November 4, 2001 10Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. 11For it hath been declared unto me of you, my ...read more

  • Is Your Joy Complete?

    Contributed by Jeffrey Benjamin on Nov 12, 2001
    based on 21 ratings

    Our joy will not complete unless we are in fellowship, and that fellowship is based on the Incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ.

    We are to live our lives on the behalf of Jesus Christ representing him and the righteousness of GOD he fulfilled.

  • Whose Friend Are You Anyway?

    Contributed by Mark Hiehle on Jul 20, 2001
    based on 84 ratings
     | 3,734 views

    This sermon cuts to the heart of why people act as they do (even in the church) and how to live as God truly wants us to.

    James 4:1-12 "Whose Friend Are You Anyway?" By Rev. Mark Hiehle When my children were small, I loved sitting with them and teaching them the songs I learned as a child. It was wonderful to sing with them; "Jesus Loves Me, Deep and Wide, Only a Boy Named David, This Little Light of ...read more

  • Front Line Christians

    Contributed by David Yarbrough on Jul 23, 2001
    based on 95 ratings
     | 9,688 views

    We have made Christianity into a spectator sport. We just sit back in church and listen to the music, and the sermons and never really get involved in the game. We need some Christians today to get off the sidelines and get on the front lines.

    Intro: It was the first day of basketball practice at Wingate High School in Brooklyn, N.Y. The Coach handed a ball to each player. “Boys,” he said, “I want you to practice shooting from the spots you might expect to be in during the game.” One of the boys (who was pretty much there as a ...read more

  • Playing War Series

    Contributed by Tim George on Aug 5, 2001
    based on 47 ratings
     | 4,189 views

    There is a war that rages among us today that is just as serious. It is the war that rages in the souls of men and women. Why do people have so much trouble getting along with each other? Chapter four of the book of James gives us the answer.

    "Where do wars and fights come from among you? Do they not come from your desires for pleasure that war in your members? You lust and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war. Yet you do not have because you do not ask. You ask and do not receive, because you ask ...read more
