    The Cure For Conflict (Pt. 2) Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Aug 30, 2021
     | 2,961 views

    James offers several cures for conflict. We think the problem in conflict is the other person. But James says the cure begins with us submitting to God, drawing near to God, resisting the devil and to stop judging others.

    Introduction: A. One day a proper Englishman found himself seated on a train with two ladies who were arguing about whether to have the window opened or closed. 1. One lady claimed that she would die of heatstroke if the window stayed closed. 2. The other lady said she would die of pneumonia if ...read more

    I know that when I have been away from home for a while, I get “homesick.” Jesus wants us to think about home. He wants us to have Heaven on our minds.

    "If you read history you will find that the Christians who did the most for the present world were just those who thought most of the next. It is since Christians have largely ceased to think of the other world that they have become so ineffective in this one" (Mere Christianity). For ...read more

    The Fundamentals Of Fasting Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Feb 2, 2022
     | 3,499 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

    Spiritual Depression; Its Causes And Cure - Philippians 1:12-21 Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 2,805 views

    I think if we were to take the book of Philippians and we were to try to understand emotions, there would be a map that goes like this with these three particular kind of emotions. One is anger. The second is sadness. And the third is anxiety.

    The book of Philippians is a very emotionally transparent book. It's the most emotional book in the New Testament. That's because Paul is sharing his emotions with them, but he's also processing his emotions with them, and he's also encouraging them to process their emotions in a ...read more

    This message concludes this series focused on Jesus' Sermon on the Mount. In this message I share what Jesus said about those who think they know Him because of the things they do in His name and dont.

    Living In The Kingdom 22 Scripture: Matthew 7:15-27; 24:4-5; Second Timothy 3:5 This is the final message of my series, “Living in the Kingdom.” As I shared with you at the very beginning of this series, Jesus gave this sermon to those who were choosing to align themselves with His kingdom.

    We look here at a lot of quotes to try to understand the distorted and wicked thinking of Liberals. They operate in a lot of areas with three prominent ones - denial of and attack on the scriptures, promotion of abortion/homosexuality, and to implement socialist beliefs.

    This talk continues from the 4th Part. This is the last one for this group. LIBERAL THEOLOGY IN THE CHURCHES – ADDRESS NUMBER 5 This is the last talk in this small series.

    I think too few Christians are willing to embrace gays with open arms and hearts, as we should, but also, too many gays seethe and release their anger on anyone is not willing to endorse or affirm their dissenting lifestyles.

    Christian Views Embracing LGBTQIA+ Allow me to start this brief essay off with the NIV Bible verse of Romans 2:1, You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge another, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same ...read more

    God is a progressive God, both in thinking and action! And at times in life it may not seem like we have been created in His image and characteristics! However, God both wanted and created us, to be the same way!

    No More Used to Be’s Ephesians 2:4–7, NKJ “But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us...raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His ...read more

     | 561 views

    This morning, I thought we might make a visit to the doctor, the Great Physician himself and in doing so I want us all to think about how we are when He ask, “How are you”?

    Good morning. It is a pleasure to be with you this morning and how are you? “Good morning – how are you?”. This is a very common greeting and more often than not the answer is, “fine and you”? We will often respond this way even if the answer is not even close to being true. For example, once ...read more

    When all you think and see is the thick clouds of challenges and abandonment around you? When trials massed up so high that we feel like we will collapse, what do we do?

    FINDING GRACE IN DISAPPOINTMENT John 11:17-46 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.

    The Resurrection Of Jesus Christ: A Refresher Course In Evidence

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jan 10, 2023
     | 1,568 views

    The Scriptures tell of the event of the resurrection of Jesus Christ as being an undeniable historical fact with eyewitness and secondary evidence to back it that would be admissible in any objective court of law. This is no case of wishful thinking, but the conclusion of a promise kept.

    If we were to present the case for the resurrection of Jesus Christ in a court of law, we would have to first refute the notion or belief that this was nothing more than "faith" on the part of the apostles and all who have followed Him throughout history. I have pointed out in a recent ...read more

    Adapted from a sermon by Brian Atwood. God cannot nor will He use proud people to do His work. Proud people get in the way because if you aren’t yielded to God, you begin to think you can handle things on your own.

    Last week we saw an angel come to Zechariah with a message that the prayers, he and his wife Elizabeth were praying had been heard and that they were going to have a son. Let’s pick up the story in the first chapter of Luke’s account of the greatest story ever told. READ Have you ever ...read more
