    We can ask ourselves questions like, “Why do I exist.” With that questioning nature, we must ask at times, “why does the Church Exist?” It is not enough just to say “to glorify God.” While this is true, there is so much more to the question; “What is

     | 12,980 views

    To keep God's people from starving at His table we must come to know what Jesus meant when He said He was the bread of life! Us blind beggars only need a scrap from the Master's table to survive and thrive!

    OUR DAILY BREAD John 6:30-35 Online Sermon: http://www.mckeesfamily.com/?page_id=3567 Once a month it is traditional for a Baptist church to have communion.

    Philadelphia always stayed faithful to the Christian faith until the end of its history, a powerful testament to the nature of a church for which Jesus had no admonition nor condemnation. God grant that we, too, may have that faithfulness to the end.

    based on 1 rating
     | 2,519 views

    The Scriptures are the inspired, authentic self-revelation of God and as such have primary and foundational authority in all matters of what we believe, what we value, and how we live.

    Last week we focused on the purpose of the Scriptures: what are they for and why should we bother getting ourselves acquainted with them? We learned the Bible is God’s self-revelation that pulls back the curtain for us to know who God is, who we are, the purpose of our lives, and the destiny of the ...read more

    Get A Life

     | 1,500 views

    The life we get from Jesus, a gift from God through the Holy Spirit, requires cleansing and renewal daily, not just at the beginning.

    This familiar chapter from John’s Gospel is the lectionary text for today, the 2nd Sunday in Lent. It’s a good text, a familiar text, so familiar that when I first wrote it I expected it to be relatively smooth sailing. But it wasn’t. It was a difficult sermon for me to write, partly because it’s ...read more

    Words have power. And whether that power accomplishes good or evil depends on where it comes from, and what it is intended to do.

    “Sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me.” You’ve all heard that saying, haven’t you? We’ve probably all used it, in fact - usually when a child comes home from school upset because someone called her a bad name. We do distinguish between words and actions. That is what ...read more
