    Being Servants And Stewards Of God Series

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on May 16, 2022
     | 2,828 views

    We can learn from the words of Paul to his accusers the perspectives we need to adopt in the face of opposition in ministry. Paul understands where his authority comes from, knows to whom he is accountable, and trusts in God's final appraisal of his works.

    1 Cor 4:1-5 Being Servants and Stewards of God We have covered the first 3 chapters of 1 Corinthians over the last 10 weeks. Today is our 11th Sunday on this book. • I believe by now we have an idea of the problems the church in Corinth is facing. • Surely this is not a happy thing for Paul, who ...read more

    To Find God In His Secret Place Lesson 1 Series

    Contributed by Elmer Towns on Jul 20, 2023
     | 937 views

    Where is God? He is waiting to meet you in your private (secret) place. You can find God’s presence when you seek Him.

    “When you do a charitable deed, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing … your Father who sees in secret.” Matthew 6:3-4, NLT “When you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place.” Matthew 6:6, NKJV “When you fast ...read more

    To Keep Your Ax (Ministry) Lesson 5 Series

    Contributed by Elmer Towns on Jul 20, 2023
     | 1,153 views

    Fasting keeps God’s presence alive, and keeps God first to make you effective in ministry.

    “They (the prophets) began cutting down trees. But as one of them was cutting a tree, his ax head fell into the river. ‘Oh Sir!’ he cried, ‘It was a borrowed ax.’ ‘Where did it fall?’ The man of God asked. When he showed him the place, Elisha cut a stick and threw it into the water at that ...read more

    The Right Way To Fast Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Oct 2, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,397 views

    This message looks at what Jesus has to say about our physical appearance when fasting. The way we present ourselves physically can speak volumes about the inner man. Who are we trying to impress when we fast? Jesus or the people around us?

    I have entitled our message this morning, “The Right Way to Fast.” Jesus both practiced fasting and taught about it; and yet, fasting is something that is often feared and misunderstood. In many Christian circles, you rarely even hear about fasting; and yet, the Scripture mentions it more times ...read more

    For This New Year, Seek First The Kingdom

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Jan 19, 2023
     | 2,406 views

    "Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness." In this New Year, let's make this our motivation or "driving purpose." The information our Lord shared is just as good today as it was when He walked this earth.

    (Based on a message preached January 8, 2023 at First Baptist Church of Chamois, MO, but is not an exact transcription) Introduction: Good morning to you all and Happy New Year plus a few days! You know, I had planned on preaching from a different text this morning but I believe the Lord nudged ...read more

    Today we go further into the Sermon on the Mount to hear Jesus talking about three spiritual disciplines of the Christian life.

    Introduction In this series of messages we have been talking about powering up when our spiritual batteries get low. Matthew’s Gospel teaches… We establish a powerful connection to God in baptism. In addition, through the Spirit and Scripture we Overcome temptations. We share our influence to ...read more

    When Ye Fast.

     | 254 views

    The deed is done before the all-seeing God. His approval is reward enough in itself.

    WHEN YE FAST. Matthew 6:16-21. True Christianity is not the dour, miserable affair which some of its play-actors portray (Matthew 6:16). So when we fast, we must wash-and-brush up in our usual manner (Matthew 6:17). The approval of God is far more to be desired than the applause of men (Matthew ...read more

    The Fundamentals Of Fasting Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Feb 2, 2022
     | 3,299 views

    Fasting is something that creates uncertainty and anxiety in the minds of many. I think if we will take the time to consider what our Lord has to say and seek to understand fasting, we will become more comfortable with it.

    The Fundamentals of Fasting Matthew 6: 16-18 We have come to a portion of Scripture that is little discussed in our day. I don’t think I have ever heard this passage preached or dealt with at length. The focus of this portion of the Sermon on the Mount is fasting. That may be something the average ...read more

    Living In The Kingdom 15 Series

    In this message we will examine what Jesus said about fasting. While it is common for people to say they are fasting from watrching TV, playing video games, etc, this is not scripturally an accurate protrayal of what fasting truly is and the power that comes through it when combined with prayer.

    Living in the Kingdom 15 Scripture: Matthew 6:16-18; 17:14-21; Isaiah 58:2-6; Psalms 35:13 This is a continuation of my series, “Living in the Kingdom.” This morning we will examine what Jesus says about fasting and riches in His Sermon on the Mount.
