    ¿Cuál es la reacción del diablo a la mención de tu nombre? Sobre todo, nuestra relación con Cristo es lo que hace la diferencia.

    Siete Jovenes Equivocados Hch. 19:13-19 13 ¶ Pero también algunos de los judíos, exorcistas ambulantes, se pusieron a invocar el nombre del Señor Jesús sobre los que tenían espíritus malos, diciendo: --¡Os conjuro por el Jesús que Pablo predica! 14 Eran siete hijos de un tal Esceva, un judío, ...read more

    Ezra was facing a problem and came up with a solution that ended in success. From that, we can see how this godly leader dealt with a problem. And from that, we can develop our own how-to list. We can see three key components to dealing with the problems

    How do you deal with problems? 1. Recognize the problem 2. Come up with the right solution 3. Properly identify success One of the complaints some people have about expository preaching is they say it’s not practical. They say that when you just preach directly from the text of the Bible, you ...read more

     | 5,234 views

    We need to bring people to Jesus by being a Christ-like friend, by sharing what it means to follow Jesus, and by carrying thanks to Jesus in prayer. In the scene of children in the arms of a loving Jesus, there is a story to be told, lessons to be learned

    At first glance, this morning’s Gospel reading seems a little disjointed. It starts with a discussion about divorce and ends with a discussion about entering God’s kingdom like little children. While they seem to be disconnected, they really are connected. Let me try to ...read more

    Do we spend all of our time inside the church walls, or do we spend so much time out in the community serving others that we start to smell less like sheep and a little more like sinners?

    Do We Smell Like Sinners? I titled the lesson “Do We Smell Like Sinners?” There’s a book titled “Do They Smell Like Sheep” which was written for church leadership and you can probably figure out the gist of the book from the title. But, I want to challenge each of us ...read more

    If we follow the two Great Commandments we will naturally obey the rest of the Commandments…and we won’t need a long list of things we can and can’t do.

    Good morning boys and girls! Do you have a lot of rules that you have to obey? Where are these rules? Why do you think it’s so important to have lots of rules? Why do you think it’s important to obey them? Boys and girls, rules are very important because they keep us from hurting ...read more

    Fifteen Days With Peter

    Peter and Paul would have discussed, talked, pondered and reminisced about Jesus! Paul must have gobbled up every bit of delicious news about Jesus! 15 days they discussed nothing but JESUS!

    15 days with Peter! Galatians 1:18 “Then after three years, I went up to Jerusalem to get acquainted with Cephas and stayed with him fifteen days.” As I read the above scripture, I remember the days back while I worked, when I would sit with my friend on the staircase with tea cup in ...read more

    Letter To The Philadelphia Congregation Series

    Contributed by Scott Coltrain on May 24, 2015
     | 5,487 views

    Due to their rejection of Christ, the Jews lost their position as being God's Chosen. The Church, composed of the believing Jewish Remnant and Gentiles, is now God's Chosen. Christians, alone, have access to the throne of God.

    Verse 7 – Again, we see that this letter is sent to the angel of the church; that is, to the leadership of the congregation in Philadelphia. In the other Letters to the six other congregations, Jesus introduced Himself by taking phrases from the vision of Christ in Chapter 1. This is not ...read more

    How Could God Love Someone Like Me?

    Contributed by John Lowe on Nov 4, 2013

    It was a scandal. Jesus was hanging out with some folk who were not well-respected. In fact, they were religious and social outcasts – and Jesus is not only eating with them, He is enjoying their company.

    9 September 2005 How Could God Love Someone Like Me? Matthew 9:9-13 Introduction As we get started this morning, I want to begin with a question. If Jesus were walking among us today, would He eat at Lauren’s sports bar, “Goony Birds?” If you’re thinking that ...read more
