Hear No Evil, See No Evil, Speak No Evi?

Contributed by Kelly Benton on Nov 10, 2010

Our churches are afraid to speak against such issues within the church itself because of the fear of losing people and stepping on toes. Christians are afraid to speak out against it because we do not want to be viewed as bigots or as intolerant right w

All For One And One For All

Contributed by Fred Sigle on Mar 7, 2007

We Christians are on the same side. We serve the same God. We fight the same enemy. Yet, we can’t always get along because of what Charles Swindoll calls the "Me Mentality".

ALL FOR ONE AND ONE FOR ALL (Gleaned from writings by Charles Swindoll) A. Philippians 2:1-11 (READ) B. One lesson that should be SCREAMING out at us from Paul’s description of the church as being the “BODY OF CHRIST,” is that WE are to be UNITED--WE are in this TOGETHER! 1.

Fighting Off Spiritual Virus Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Apr 19, 2010

God is patient with the feeble-minded or the disadvantaged, but his wrath is boiling toward false teachers; they are carriers of a spiritual virus. Yet this infection can incubate within believers as wel -- and hinder God's will for our lives.

Fighting Off Spiritual Virus 2 Peter 2:10b-12 1. I remember hearing about computer viruses. Could a computer catch a germ? 2. I then learned that computer viruses were often malicious programs, developed by evil-doers, to destroy computers. They are often downloaded stealthily, without you ...read more

The Long Road Rome Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Jun 7, 2021

Paul used personal ingenuity and shrewd strategy to accomplish God’s ultimate will. We, too, can better serve God if we embrace the unlikely combination of being innocent but yet shrewd.

The Contentment Challenge

Bold Hospitality Series

Contributed by Darryl Klassen on May 27, 2008

In our series on Stewardship we focused on many issues, one of them being hospitality and its role in the life of the church. God is a hospitable God and in our imitation of him it makes logical sense to include hospitality in our personal ministries.

BOLD HOSPITALITY As we conclude our series on Stewardship we want to look at one final aspect of managing the good gifts God has given to us. Hospitality is an important part of ministering to others with what we have. If you watch Corner Gas, Canada’s only homegrown successful sit-com, you ...read more

The Call To Unity Series

Contributed by Jerry Flury on Aug 15, 2020

Dwight L. Moody once stated, "I have never yet known the Spirit of God to work where the Lord's people were divided." For God to bless the church, there must be unity.

The Call to Unity 1 Corinthians 1:10-18 Recently, I read about a church that split, and that split began over an argument at a potluck supper when a lady brought a congealed salad made with Cool Whip instead of real whipping cream.

The Tragedy Of Covered Sin

Contributed by Daniel Olukoya on Nov 24, 2011

Sin is a fact of life and is the most horrible thing in the universe. In fact, if it was not for the issue of sin, Jesus had no business dying. Sin is so terrible that God had to surrender his own Son as a scapegoat so that He could be dealt with to elimi

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Nov 30, 2023

We are not ignorant of the ways and means Satan uses to promote his corruption all over. This time we are talking about The MIND under attack; the Corruption of the Christian religion; the false religion of Islam; and the adoption of Paganism. These are serious issues.

Finding God's Strength

Contributed by David Henderson on Dec 29, 2014

Everyone seems to believe that wealth will make them happy. In this passage we read of a man who had it all yet he walked away from God because he had so much.

Finding God’s Strength Matthew 5:5 and 11:28-30 The setting for the message this morning is found in one of the highlights of the ministry of Jesus. His ministry had its share of highs and lows but this was definitely one of his finer moments. In the background, Jesus had just gone through ...read more

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Dec 14, 2023

We end the schemes of Satan and consider a number of issues including the way Satan destroys so much. We look again into Islamic terrorism and the wicked United Nations. Our Governments are failing the people. Also, the weapons build-up.

Dealing With Immorality In The Church Series

Contributed by Donald Mcculley on Mar 19, 2019

Paul has already dealt with divisions in the church. Now he has to deal with the issue of immorality. Many were being seduced by “the spirit of the age”. Note what Paul has to say. It is still a timely word for us today.

Why Some Cannot Sing Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Nov 15, 2003

John saw the 144,000 singing around the throne and their characteristics. That tells us who "could not learn the new song" -- those with unresolved sexual issues, those with perfectionistic tendencies, those who had accepted lies about themselves.

Alongside every group that gathers to sing, there is also someone who cannot sing.
