    Heresies Confronted By The Early Church Series

    Contributed by Eddie Snipes on Oct 2, 2001
    based on 41 ratings
     | 16,861 views

    Many modern errors stem from the early heresies. This study looks at what the teachers of heresy believed and how the church refuted these doctrines.

    Heresies and Heretics in the Early Church Early church fathers focused much energy on refuting heretical views that infiltrated the church. The majority of the Trinity quotes were written in response to heresy being taught within the church. A heresy is simply a doctrine that strays from the ...read more

    What About Hebrews 6:4-6? Series

    Contributed by David Johnston on Apr 28, 2007
    based on 5 ratings
     | 9,936 views

    In this day of modern preaching on eternal security, does a Christian ever reach the place of backsliding and becoming apostate? Let’s study it out.

    Heb. 6:4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, 5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, 6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing ...read more

    Begging At The Gate

    Contributed by Ovidiu Radulescu on Oct 19, 2008
    based on 100 ratings
     | 21,685 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

    What Is The Destiny Of Your Church?

    Contributed by Kelly Mitchell on Oct 7, 2012
     | 7,335 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

    Life From Death? Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Apr 4, 2010
    based on 54 ratings
     | 26,713 views

    Modern day Sadducees still teach that a bodily resurrection is unbelievable. For what 3 reasons do they reject a teaching that is so obviously Biblical?

    (This was the last in our series "The Upside Down Teachings of Jesus" and to emphasize that theme, we played the video "Blindness" found through sermoncentral. If you’ve not seen it it is worth the time to prevue it’s powerful message). OPEN: His name was Roger Williams and he was a famous 17th ...read more

    When We Are Called To Those Who Are Hostile

    Contributed by Johnny Wilson on Feb 15, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,805 views

    After being abused and accused by his fellow Jews, Jeremiah’s counsel was sought and ignored. Modern believers need to take note.

    If I hadn’t had a similar, though less lethal, experience, I probably wouldn’t relate to that scene in “The Godfather” where the old Mafioso tells the young boss how the traitor would try to kill him after his death. With me, we were in a nice restaurant in San Francisco (my executive editor and I) ...read more

    Making room for God in our busy lives can enable us to cope with the stresses and business of living in our hectic, modern world.

    Somewhere Else Intro: In 1975 I assumed my duties as the Pastor of Memorial Presbyterian Church in South Bend, IN. I was delighted to see new Bibles carefully placed in every pew. I opened one to see what version it was and in huge large, red letters these words were stamped inside the front ...read more

    A Stone's Throw Away

    Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Oct 25, 2018
    based on 4 ratings
     | 23,080 views

    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? If we are honest, we have all had some embarrassing moments before. The woman found in our text this morning had such an experience. ...read more

    Forgive Us Our Debts... Series

    Contributed by Brady Boyd on May 5, 2021
     | 1,908 views

    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

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

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Jun 24, 2023
     | 1,118 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

    The Church Of The New Testament - Part 7e Series

    Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Mar 7, 2018
     | 22,094 views

    Part 7e addresses the functions of Evangelists, Preachers, and Ministers/Servants/Deacons and some variations between the New Testament church and modern practice in the way these functions are implemented.

    This 13-part series of classes has been many years in the making. About 25 years ago I began in earnest to examine the features, character and characteristics of the church as it existed in its earliest years. As I sometimes do, I kept my notes all along the way, and this series of classes is to a ...read more

    God Leads By His Covenant

    Contributed by James May on Jan 9, 2003
    based on 15 ratings
     | 5,518 views

    This draws a double parallel between Joshua leading Israel across Jordan, Jesus leading his church into the New Testament Covenant, and the conversion of a lost soul being born again into eternal life.

    A Nation Unknowingly In Crisis Series

    Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Dec 14, 2006
    based on 68 ratings
     | 19,906 views

    This message is part of series paralleling ancient Israel & America. Without consideration Israel had rebelled & deserted the Lord & were unconscious of its consequences. They did not realize the seriousness of their situation before God.

    ISAIAH 1:2-9 A NATION UNKNOWINGLY IN CRISIS (Deuteronomy 30:15-20) Isaiah began his book (& ends his book- 66:24) by recounting, very realistically, the response of Judah to Yahweh’s favor and purpose. We will encounter God’s reaction to the human refusal to response to His favor and ...read more

    Ready Or Not He Will Come

    based on 435 ratings
     | 76,507 views

    As a child I really enjoyed playing hide and go seek. Little did I realize as a child how much this game of hide and seek paralleled the Return - The Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

    As a child I really enjoyed playing... hide and go seek. I loved it ...no matter if ...I was the one hiding ... trying not to get caught, ... or if I was the one seeking; ......who was trying to catch those hiding... unexpectedly. Although I have not played in quite some time, ......I do ...read more

    Jeshurun

    Contributed by Norman Bernad on Sep 27, 2022
     | 1,763 views

    The name Jeshurun means “upright one” or “blessed one.” In the parallelism of Isaiah’s poetry, Jeshurun is a replacement for Jacob in the previous line. So we see that Jeshurun is a poetic reference to the nation of Israel.

    Isaiah 44:1-5 1Yet now hear, O Jacob my servant; and Israel, whom I have chosen: 2 Thus saith the LORD that made thee, and formed thee from the womb, which will help thee; Fear not, O Jacob, my servant; and thou, Jesurun, whom I have chosen. 3 For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and ...read more
