    Women Preachers And The Word Of God Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jul 26, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,460 views

    Women and men are spiritually equal before the Lord; however, women are debarred from occupying the role of elder within the congregation of the Lord.

    “Women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly attire, but with what is proper for women who profess godliness—with good works. Let a woman learn quietly with all submissiveness. I do not permit ...read more

    Walking As Children Of The Light

    Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on May 26, 2008
    based on 38 ratings
     | 9,075 views

    Three errors today’s Christians make: 1. Seeing salvation merely as a legal transaction. 2. Believing that being right is more important than treating other people right. 3. Living out of fear rather than faith.

    Walking as Children of the Light Mark 10:32-37 In the Scripture today we have one example of many where the disciples simply do not “get it.” Jesus has just expressed what is facing him, and is more vulnerable than at any other time of his life. But the disciples can only think of themselves. ...read more

    Choose Life!

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 21, 2007
    based on 7 ratings
     | 6,702 views

    In response to Virginia Tech: we have choices -- to choose to live in the here and now; to choose to give life to our children by contradicting this violent culture; and to choose life eternal for ourselves.

    “I had no choice.” Of all the things we heard this past week from the deeply disturbed mind of Cho Seung Hui, that stands out for me as key: “I had no choice.” Cho Seung Hui felt trapped and cornered. He felt driven to do this terrible thing. In his mind, every victim was to blame – they were ...read more

    Living In The Kingdom 11 Series

     | 1,727 views

    In this message we examine what Jesus said about getting revenge; about doing "unto others AS they do unto us." This is a hard message for some Christians to hear because society tells us to defend ourselves at all cost. But what does Jesus say?

    Living in the Kingdom 11 Scripture: Matthew 5:38-42; Exodus 21:23-24; Romans 12:17 This morning we are going to talk about what it means to turn the other cheek – in other words, we will be talking about not getting revenge or doing unto others as they “do” unto you. This is part eleven of my ...read more

    The Bible gives us clear directions to happiness.

    This was the first successful transfer of charismatic authority to a large group since the time of Moses; it signifies that a new era has come!

    “He sent ahead of him in pairs to every town and place he intended to visit.” In pairs, for mutual support and to provide judicial testimony to what they see. Ecclesiastes 4:9 says, two are better than one,… If either of them falls down, one can help the other up.” He sent them; the verb used is ...read more

    “Now raise your hands if you have only one or two enemies.” And even fewer people raised their hands. “See,” says the priest, “most of us feel like we have enemies.”

    A priest is giving a homily like I am right now on “What loving your enemies and being ‘perfect’ mean.” “Now,” says the priest, “I’ll bet that many of us feel as if we have enemies in our lives. So, raise your hands if you have a few enemies.” And several people raise their hands.” “Now raise ...read more
