    Worship: The Creator Or His Creatures

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Jul 9, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,644 views

    Idolaters worship the things God made rather than God Himself. Is there anything you feel you cannot live without? Is there any priority greater than God? Do you have a dream you would sacrifice everything to realize? Does God take first place? Do you wor

Let us turn to Romans 1 and check out the kind of worship Paul was talking to the Romans about. Apparently this kind of worship was not new, it had gone on ...read more

    The more I understand Kingdom Living under the authority of King Jesus, the more I begin to realize the power available to me to live a life pleasing unto the king.

    What if in the middle of the night, your house caught fire and you had to evacuate quickly and could only save one item. What would that one item be? What is the one thing you cannot live without? What if you were stranded on an island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, what is the one thing you ...read more

     | 5,048 views

    One of the most difficult things to do seems to be to forgive. God requires it of us because HE is forgiving.

    At a convention with their wives, two businessmen who had been roommates in college crossed paths. They sat in the lobby all night talking. They knew they would be in trouble with their wives. The next day they happened to see each other. "What did your wife think?" "I walked in the door and my ...read more

    Why Small Groups? It's About Accountability

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Nov 20, 2012
     | 3,997 views

    Everyone has a boss. Everyone has someone they answer to at work. Even the boss has a boss. The folks who can claim that they don’t have a boss are those who own the company, but, even then, owners have to answer for regulations, taxes, and payroll. E

    “So why do you keep calling me ‘Lord, Lord!’ when you don’t do what I say? I will show you what it’s like when someone comes to me, listens to my teaching, and then follows it. It is like a person building a house who digs deep and lays the foundation on solid rock. ...read more

     | 2,994 views

    What does our church believe about marriage?

    Our church says: “We define marriage as a life covenant between one man and one woman according to the Scripture.” We have talked about the nature of marriage as we looked to verses 3-6. Next, we considered what Jesus said about the difficulty of marriage and about divorce in verses 7-10. Now, ...read more

     | 9,738 views

    Thankfulness is far more important to your experience of life than most people realize; it will revolutionize your relationship with God.

    1. A thankful heart is far more important to your experience of life than most people realize. Most folks know they should be thankful, but do not put a premium on proactively cultivating a thankful heart. 2. Psalm 50:5 says, “Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a ...read more

     | 11,280 views

    What we have in this story is an account of Jesus paying tribute money. He is in Capernaum, which is His headquarters, and where he lived most of the time. The “temple tax” was collected annually, from every Jew over twenty, for the support of the templ

    -AD 29- Galilee Lesson: Taxes Paid (Exodus 30:11-15) Matthew 17:24-27 Moses is the one who began the practice of collecting taxes.

    Is It Really Legalism?

     | 3,101 views

    A study which identifies the difference between true and false legalism.

    During my decades of Christian ministry, the terms “legalism” and “legalist” have progressively been bandied-about within modern churches and their preachers/pastors. These terms have, primarily, been used to describe and condemn those Christians and churches that believe ...read more

    It’s not unusual to see signs like this at restaurants: No MSG Added. Sometimes it’s the most prominent sign you’ll see, even bigger than the sign with the name of the restaurant on it!

    based on 1 rating
     | 26,288 views

    Paul had experienced much success in ministry, and yet he knew he had not arrived. He resolved to release the past, embrace the present, and anticipate the future. We must continue to seek all the Lord has for us. We cannot be complacent or satisfied.

    Committed to Serve Philippians 3:12-16 As you study the life of Paul, you realize the opportunities he once enjoyed. As far as men were concerned, Paul once had it all – power, position, and prestige. He was a rising star with a bright future within the religious elite in Jerusalem. All of ...read more

    "How To Walk Wisely In The World” Series

    Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Aug 19, 2019
     | 6,475 views

    As we pass through this world on our way to heaven, witnessing should be a priority for the Christian.

    As Paul speaks about the Christian’s walk in this world, he tells us we need to walk wisely. We do this, he says, by taking advantage of every opportunity to give a verbal witness for Jesus. Why should witnessing be a priority for believers as we are living in this world? Two reasons: Reason #1: ...read more

    Things have changed much since the first century, and yet much remains the same. Paul realized the danger of majoring on the minor and minoring on the major. His insight still speaks for ministries today.

    The Pursuit of Ministry 1 Thessalonians 2: 4-9 We have spent much time laying the groundwork for our study in this precious book. Paul was well aware of the faithfulness and influence the church in Thessalonica had on those around them. He was encouraged with the presence of their faith, ...read more

    An Introduction To Worship Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Sep 15, 2019
     | 14,682 views

    What is worship? Is it prayer, praise, or preaching? These are elements of worship, but they do not necessarily constitute worship in and of themselves. Worship is an attitude that motivates action, not a mere activity.

    An Introduction to Worship John 4:22-24 Today, I want to lay the groundwork for a series regarding biblical worship. The verses I read are likely familiar to each of us. (Illus. context.) Just as the woman at the well, many today have no concept of biblical worship. I want to spend the next ...read more
