    Do We Have Pigeon Religion?

    Contributed by John Gaston on Aug 3, 2022
     | 3,003 views

    The Bible does NOT say, "the Spirit came on Jesus as a pigeon." Doves have 8 character differences from pigeons. Just as the dove is the symbol of the Holy Spirit, so "pigeon religion" is a counterfeit of the Holy Spirit. Let's seek the Dove!

    DO WE HAVE PIGEON RELIGION? John 1:29-33 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A doctor went out and bought a brand new Ferrari GTO, that can top out at 250 mph. He took it out for a spin and stopped at a red light. 2. An old man on a moped pulled up next to him. He asked, “What kind of car ya got there, ...read more

    Church Buildings?

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Aug 9, 2022
     | 1,956 views

    What lessons beside who is my neighbor can be found in the Woman at the Well narrative? Actually, quite a bit. This lesson is that Jesus was not in favor of a centralized building for worship. This restricted the LORD who was spirit and existed everywhere.

    Church Buildings? John 4:7-42 Rev. Dr. Michael H. Koplitz New American Standard 1995 John 4:7 There *came a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus *said to her, “Give Me a drink.” 8 For His adisciples had gone away into bthe city to buy food. 9 Therefore the aSamaritan woman *said to Him, “How is ...read more

     | 8,629 views

    The good shepherd is honest and upright; The good shepherd has an intimate relationship with His sheep; The good shepherd loves, leads, & guides as his sheep follow him. The good shepherd is alert and keeps his sheep alert to dangers all around.

    Sermon: The Characteristics of a Good Shepherd John 10:1-10 ““I tell you the truth, anyone who sneaks over the wall of a sheepfold, rather than going through the gate, must surely be a thief and a robber! 2 But the one who enters through the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 The gatekeeper opens ...read more

    God Delights In Bad Odds

     | 3,413 views

    The more unlikely the situation (if we pray), the better God likes it. God likes to show His hand, but He won’t do it unless we step out and depend on Him to come through in order for us have success. God likes the “come-from-behind” position.

    GOD DELIGHTS IN BAD ODDS 1 Sam. 14:6-15,23 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: BOUDREAUX DUMPING TRASH 1. Boudreaux pulled over on the side of the highway and was dumping his trash beside the road. A policeman spotted him, turned around, got out and walked up to him. “Boudreaux, what do you think you’re ...read more

    #7 We Believe In The Body Of Christ-The Church Series

    Contributed by Doug Fannon on Aug 22, 2022
     | 2,091 views

    As we will see, Jesus never called anyone to be a lone ranger Christian. Church membership is not an option. All Scripture references are from the NASB.

    Over the past couple of months we have looked at the basics of our Christian beliefs. We considered God’s natural revelation of Himself to all. How we believe in God because our observation of the world demands it. We looked at our belief in the word of God, the Bible, through which we come to ...read more

    The dynamic of Christ's resurrection is the utter guarantee of our future resurrection through being changed from death to life. The power that emanates from the Lord's resurrection empowers us to live our lives here and now for the Lord Jesus Christ.

     | 2,688 views

    We continue with the Study of the "I AMs" in the Gospel of John and this time we look at Christ as the Good Shepherd and the Door. He is the Door to the sheepfold and we will look at the role of the shepherd in the Middle East. Are you feeding in God's pasture?

    The Christian life is filled with MOUNTAIN TOP EXPERIENCES and VALLEY EXPERIENCES.

    We all enjoy the MOUNTAIN TOP experiences. In God’s Word we find the writers used many superlatives to describe the blessings God bestows upon us. We are told that a good writer never uses too many superlatives for fear of overstating their case. They are to be reserved for special occasions ...read more
