    Begging At The Gate

    Contributed by Ovidiu Radulescu on Oct 19, 2008
    based on 100 ratings
     | 21,491 views

    The gate could be prettier than the Temple – it is another paradox of modern religion. Big gates, large ways coming trough, but no salvation at the gate.

    Just look at him: an ordinary beggar, one among thousands who filled Jerusalem streets... And today was just another day, no better and no worse then all the other days that had made up the life of this poor crippled beggar. Who was he, we don’t know. The Bible reveals nothing about his life up to ...read more

    Though the story reads like modern Soap Opera with immoral activities in which the affluent or privileged escape while the less fortunate are punished

    TITLE: A STONE’S THROW AWAY SCRIPTURE: ST. JOHN 8:1-11 Have you ever done anything embarrassing before? Have you ever had an Embarrassing moment in your life?

    What Is The Destiny Of Your Church?

    Contributed by Kelly Mitchell on Oct 7, 2012
     | 7,279 views

    Through Ezekiel the Prophet, God provides a certain destiny and purpose of the modern Christian church and most of us will probably be surprised to hear it.

    In Alice in Wonderland, when Alice comes to a junction in the road that leads in different directions, she asks the Cheshire Cat, "Cheshire-Puss...would you tell me please, which way I ought to go from here?" "That depends a good deal on where you want to go to," said the Cat. "I don't much ...read more

    Can The Foundations Of America Be Restored? Only Through A Revival Of The Young

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Jun 24, 2023
     | 1,045 views

    Christianity is the underpinning of western civilization, and as we jettison it for entertainment, nihilism, pleasure, and post-modernism, we unsurprisingly see a society tipping into chaos

    In our desperate search for what went wrong with western civilization, digging through layer after layer, social structures breaking down, norms shifting, confusion abounding, unrest spreading, and suicide flourishing, we search and long and cry out, "What has gone wrong!?" We think to ...read more

    We live in an era of cancel culture, which is a modern form of ostracism in which someone is suddenly thrust out of social or professional circles.

    Praying with Jesus Forgive us our debts … May 9, 2021 Matthew 6:9-13 NIV "This, then, is how you should pray: "'Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, 10 your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. 11 Give us today our daily bread. 12 Forgive us our debts, ...read more

     | 297 views

    This is a sermon series for the six Sundays of Lent. I am using a wooden "Tau" cross on the platform and some examples of the instruments of torture the Romans used - a large spike, scourge/cat of 9 tails, spear, and crown of thorns. There is a teaching sheet below the sermon.

    Contributed by Rick Pendleton on Oct 28, 2008
     | 6,343 views

    Modern man shirks personal responsibility by blaming society, parents, TV... or anything else. In this sermon, Aaron is the biblical representative of all those who refuse to accept their personal responsibility and look for a scapegoat to blame.

    The Fire and the Calf Exodus 32:24 It happened four days after my seventh birthday, in a place I had never heard of. At 3:15 am, on March 13, 1964, getting home from work, Catherine Susan Genovese, known to her friends as “Kitty” parked her car about 100 yards away from the front door of her ...read more

    The Trinity- Triune God

    Contributed by Pastor Renji George on Aug 7, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,084 views

    In contrast to the polytheism of the heathen world with its many gods and idols, the Christian faith centers in one God. This God, however, is revealed to be a Trinity, including the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

    Though, the word “Trinity” is not found in the Bible, yet scholars, Church history and traditions have validated it over the past 2,000 years along with many other theological concepts not found explicitly in the Bible. There are passages of scriptures found in the Bible that have hints of a ...read more

     | 4,130 views

    The story of Israel marriage to Yaweh which was marred by unfaithfulness and betrayal - resulting in separation and divorce. Also the account of God's love and faithfulness - shown in His determination to reconcile with His erring wife.

    The Bible: A love story Pt 2 : Adultery and Divorce In the last message, we saw how Yahweh entered into a spiritual 'marriage' with His chosen bride, the nation of Israel. Like Boaz with Ruth, He had first redeemed her (from Egypt) and then entered into a sacred covenant (berith / ...read more

    Maybe we have more Baal worshipers than we know

    "Idolatry is an economic issue. When we read about the Israelites worshiping the god Baal in 1 Kings 18, we tend to think of them developing a preference for wooden idol images. But the primary attraction to Baal wasn’t a pretty statue; it was an economic promise. For the nations around ...read more

     | 4,626 views

    Israel cried out for the day of the Lord to come, but God warned them that they didn't really want that. Today many Christians say, "I just wish Jesus would come back!" but is that something we're actually ready for?

    WHEN THE WORLD DEPRESSES US WITH ITS EVIL: “I just wish Jesus would come back!” - Amos 5:18-20. - The point of v. 19 is things going from bad to worse. - There are two illustrations. - In the first, a man runs from a lion. But then, exhausted, he runs right into a bear. - In the second, a man ...read more
