    Dealing With Contradictions

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Jun 8, 2021
     | 3,530 views

    As Christians, we live in world that is foreign to us. We live in a world that contradicts the life that Jesus lived - a life that He said we could also live. This message examines the reasons why we face contradictions in our lives and how to deal with them.

    In the Gospels, Jesus uses a method of teaching known as parables to communicate principles about the kingdom of God. A parable compares two things by placing them side by side. By using parables, Jesus compares the unfamiliar, the kingdom of God, to the familiar, nature and life experiences. ...read more

     | 7,021 views

    Using the metaphor of a body, I believe that for this church to function properly as Christ would have it function, as well as each us individually, there are certain body parts that ALL of us must possess.

    WHAT THE BODY OF CHRIST NEEDS I CORINTHIANS 12:12-18 INTRODUCTION: Throughout the New Testament the church is likened to a physical body made up of many members each functioning in a different capacity but all being part of the same unity and working together for the proper functioning and benefit ...read more

    But then comes the time when you sense that the enemy is determined to take everything from you. He wants more than your possessions. He wants to destroy you once & for all.

    STAND ON THE MOUNTAIN I want us to look at the prophet, Elijah, today. He was a great man of God, bold, courageous, disciplined and faithful to what the Lord had called Him to do. If we have any aspiring prophets today, this is the man you need to study. The story of Elijah is a challenge to us ...read more

    Caleb had a faith that could not be frustrated, due his constant focus on the power, promises and faithfulness of God, which ultimately led to his personal possession of what had been promised.

    The sermon points out five changes Jesus brought to the man possessed by demons. I identify what his life was like before Jesus and what it was like after encountering Him.

    Before and after! From our cardboard testimonies you have seen the message of what a person’s life was like before Jesus and what it is like after Jesus comes into their life.

    Motivated To Follow Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Nov 2, 2016
     | 9,084 views

    Following his discourse on the obedience of Christ, and an admonition for the believer to possess the mind of Christ, Paul discusses what that looks like in a mature believer. This is humbling, and impossible within ourselves, but possible in Christ.

    Motivated to Follow Philippians 2: 12-18 One of the greatest means of motivation is a great illustration or example. Following the great discourse on the obedience of Christ, having provided the great example for believers to follow, Paul offers a discourse on our obligations to follow the example ...read more
