    Are Extreme Christians Really Extreme?

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Oct 18, 2017
     | 5,235 views

    In the Church of The Nazarene there is a wing of missions called Extreme Nazarenes and we are thankful for their service in the Kingdom of God, but, are they really Extreme or just what Jesus calls us all to be?

    Please open your Bibles to Matthew 16:21-28 which we will read in a few minutes. This past Thursday we were privileged to have missionaries from Extreme Nazarenes with us for what we anticipated being our faith promise service. As it turned out it was a time of them explaining to us how the ...read more

    Peter fails to see Jesus's supremecy and plan for the coming kingdom and tries to push his plan instead. We often do the same in telling God how things are going to work instead of looking at his plan

    Have you ever stuck your foot in your mouth? Have you ever had a time where you thought you knew what you were talking about but it turns out that you didn’t quite have all the facts straight. It can be a little embarrassing. [Like the stock boy at the grocery store. A lady asked him, "Can I buy ...read more

    In a time of high emotion and turbulence Christians must carefully anchor their decisions in biblical principles. This message addresses how we must fight the current cultural battle and where the focus of our efforts must be.

    Introduction America is in a serious time of crisis. Most of us can easily see that. The crisis poses a serious question as to what we should do now. A lot of energy has been expended in recent months by both liberals and conservatives in the political process. As conservatives, we are disappointed ...read more

    What Is Our Part?

     | 5,006 views

    Sometimes we presume to play God's part and forget about our part.

    Things are not always as we want them to be. Disappointments, disasters, distresses, diseases, dilemmas, discouragement and depression destroy our dreams and desires. Problems seem to be the norm and solutions seem inadequate. Our need is urgent, and we see no light at the end of the tunnel. ...read more

    What can anyone exchange for their soul? Jesus already exchanged his life. Christ-followers have changed lives.

    WHAT CAN WE EXCHANGE FOR OUR SOUL? (Outline) February 21, 2021 - Lent 1 - MATTHEW 16:21-26 INTRO: Jesus taught about counting the cost. A king counts the cost of going to war.

     | 3,695 views

    Matthew wrote the Hebrews to understand that Jesus of the Nazareth was the Messiah sent by Yahweh. He developed his Gospel from exclusion to the inclusion of the Gentiles. The confession of Peter is the center of the revelation.

    Theme: Confession of Peter Text: Matthew 16:13-28 Greetings: The Lord is good; His love endures forever. We are meditating under the theme: “Perfect the good work” throughout this Lent season. From this week onwards we are journeying with Christ from Galilee to Jerusalem. Our ultimate station is ...read more

    Look, you need to know this man died. He was tortured and executed. It was awful.

    In the book, How to Disappear, there are true stories of people who faked their own deaths to collect on life insurance policies, or simply to start over. To catch them, specialists are hired. The book says many get caught by doing things like visiting their mother. Or, they chose a new name that ...read more

    This message is about what a spiritual attack looks like and what can be done about it.

    Do you remember the record where Peter rebukes Jesus for telling the disciples He was going to die in Jerusalem? Of course you do. Turn with me to Matthew 16.

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jul 16, 2020
     | 4,063 views

    Many Christians in America have inadvertently or intentionally placed the good of our nation above the good of the Kingdom of God. They are NOT the same thing. What is the proper Biblical attitude we should have regarding our relationship with the Lord and with our nation?

    God And The Nations - Part 3 - Can The Nation Be Saved Please stand as we read our newest memory Scripture together Titus 3:3-5 “At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures.

    The Danger Of "mega-Dittos"

    Contributed by Byron Perrine on Jul 9, 2019

     | 2,262 views

    In this discourse, I've reworked several sermons from other preachers with a slightly different emphasis based upon the Contemporary English Version's translation of Matthew 16:23, namely, "You're in the way because you think like everybody else..."

    (If you have found this sermon useful, please visit us at www.HeritageRestorationProject.org or www.ChristianWisdom.info) Comparing a variety of Biblical versions can be very helpful, and given the fact that the original New Testament texts were written in an old form of Greek, drawing out the ...read more
