    What Stands In The Way?

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 22, 2004
    based on 49 ratings
     | 5,292 views

    For Ascension Sunday; and in preparation for my retirement as pastor. What stands in our way? Exhaustion? Gather all, gather the marginalized, and pray. Planless? Remember our core values and do them. Lack of urgency? We are accountable to God.

    When a leader and those he leads part company, we learn a whole lot about both of them. Their true values become apparent. The things they are really about become clear. There is no more game-playing when it is time for a leader and those he leads to part company. Sometimes they separate ...read more

    Legal trials can often be interesting events. The current trial of Conrad Black on fraud charges has made for interesting press.

    Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Nov 7, 2011
    based on 28 ratings
     | 49,153 views

    Paul’s prayer burst into an overflow of thankfulness & praise. This thankfulness was because their lives demonstrated that God was at work in them and in the church. The Gospel was bearing fruit in & through their lives.

    COLOSSIANS 1: 3-8 AN OUTPOURING OF THANKFULNESS [1 Peter 1:3-8] Paul gave continual thanks to God in his prayers. So it was natural that when Paul prayed for the church at Colossae, the prayer burst into an overflow of thankfulness and praise. This thankfulness was because their lives ...read more

    That The World May Hear Series

    Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Jun 4, 2012
    based on 39 ratings
     | 22,512 views

    The Gospel is the power of God unto salvation to every one who believes. God desires that every person have an opportunity to respond to the gospel & call upon Him. Since Jesus Christ is Lord of all, the Gospel should be proclaimed to all.

    ROMANS 10: 13-17 THAT THE WORLD MAY HEAR [Romans 1:16-17] The preceding verses have been disproving that salvation is only for the Jews, or the chosen people. [The Scriptures have powerfully argued that eternal salvation is by faith in Christ and not by good works, heritage, or law keeping.] ...read more

     | 5,371 views

    In this passage, Paul identified himself with the writer of Psalm 116. Paul, like the psalmist, had experienced the “terrors of the grave,” and God’s deliverance. “Death had its hands around [Paul’s] throat” (Ps. 116:3), and He knew that he could die.

     | 6,641 views

    We may have a relationship with Jesus Christ, but very few of us actually have fellowship with God.

    There are three major themes that we’re going to cover in 1 John 2:3–11. One is that we are going to realize that if we say we have fellowship, then we need to be obedient to God’s Word. There is a major difference between having a fellowship versus having a relationship. We all ...read more
