    Guidelines For Christianity: Liar, Liar Series

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Mar 26, 2015
     | 5,415 views

    The only problem with lying is that God takes it a lot more seriously than we do.

    Ex. 20:16, “You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.” Don’t lie! Joe the Butcher had only one chicken left, and he didn’t want to keep it over the weekend. The pastor of the church in town came into the store. He said, “My wife sent me to buy a good ...read more

    Guidelines For Christianity: Blessed Are The Meek Series

     | 4,646 views

    Jesus wasn’t focusing on outward performance like going to church, giving, or serving. His concern was to mark out how a disciple should be on the inside.

    When’s the last time you heard someone say, “If you want to succeed in life, try being meek?” Or, “If you want to rise to the top and get somewhere in life, display meekness along the way?” Unfortunately, meekness isn’t a valued quality in our day. The ...read more

    Having mercy is when God doesn’t give us what we really deserve.

    Tonight we continue with the beatitudes—the attitude we are to be or have as a Christian. Let’s talk about being merciful. Having mercy is when God doesn’t give us what we really deserve. We live in a world where it's so easy to become callused and indifferent. We are ...read more

     | 6,293 views

    History shows that most peacekeeping efforts by and large have failed. So what does Jesus mean by being a peacemaker?

    We live in a world characterized by fighting, wars, and animosity at every level of society. It’s everywhere. Lady Astor once said to Winston Churchill, “If you were my husband, I’d put poison in your coffee.” Churchill responded, “And if you were my wife, ...read more

     | 3,900 views

    Now that we know the attitude we are to have to be called Jesus’ disciples, as a disciple we are to produce fruit.

    We have spent the last 8 Sundays discussing the beatitudes from Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount. These are very important first steps as we take a detailed look at Becoming a Better Christian. Let me remind you that to be a Christian requires us to have a responsibility. When we become a ...read more

    Guidelines For Christianity: The Fruit Of Joy

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Mar 30, 2015
     | 3,395 views

    Every Christian has the capacity of joy within their lives because the Holy Spirit dwells within them.

    We have spent time discussing the 8 beatitudes that Jesus says we are to have in order to be a better Christian. Then we began to look at the fruit of the spirit as outlined by Paul in Galatians 5: 22-23. Tonight, we take a look at JOY. One guy claims that his wife hasn’t spoken to him ...read more

    The Lord wants to make a difference in our world today through our acts of kindness.

    Mamie Adams always went to a certain branch post office in her town because the postal employees there were always friendly. One day, she went there to buy stamps and the lines were very long.

    Patience will never be accomplished by human effort and self-control. It is only accomplished by GOD control...

    ”But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self control; against such there is no law.” A small boy is sent to bed by his father. Five minutes later … “Da-ad…” “What?” “I’m ...read more

    Guidelines For Christianity: The Fruit Of Meekness Series

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Mar 31, 2015
     | 4,712 views

    If we are meek, if we are gentle, then we are God controlled. We will have to be considerate to people, and we will also be considerate toward God.

    Gentleness and meekness are basically the same. Why aren’t some people gentle? There are some who say things that set you on edge, & you’re convinced that they enjoy doing it? They come into your home & say, "Where did you find that wall-paper?" And it’s obvious that ...read more

    The Law And The Christian, Part 1 Series

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Feb 11, 2014
     | 4,645 views

    Jesus gave the ultimate commentary on the Old Testament law, yet it is not very well understood in the Christian community. In this the first of several sermons, we will explore the law and the Christian.

    Intro In the sermon on the mount Jesus called us salt and light, then condemned whoever sets aside the least of God’s commands. Does that mean that Christians should put to death idolaters, Sabbath breakers, adulterers and those who dishonor their parents, sacrifices animals, be ...read more

    Can A Christian Use Marijuana?

    Contributed by Scott Coltrain on Aug 28, 2015
     | 5,942 views

    With the legalization of the recreational use of marijuana, the Christian must evaluate if using pot is an acceptable practice or a sin.

    In those States where the use and sell of Marijuana is illegal, the answer is straightforward. The Christian must abide by the laws of secular government (Romans 13:1-2, 5) which means that the use and sell of Marijuana is clearly prohibited. As our Nation moves closer to the legalization of ...read more

    The Trial Of Our Christian Faith

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Sep 10, 2015
    based on 2 ratings
     | 4,451 views

    When we talk to the genuinely curious, we show God’s love. We show that we want to be with God and want others to be with him. We will love the things and people that he loves. We will hate the things and people that he hates. We will love others.

    The reading we heard from John 5:30-47 a few minutes ago takes place during a “trial”, but it was not held in a courtroom. Jesus had just healed the paralyzed man at the pool of Bethsaida, and the healing took place on the Jewish Sabbath. The Jews had strict rules about what could and ...read more
