    Positively Not A Hireling

     | 4,355 views

    We are all commanded to learn to obey everything Jesus taught so that we can do our part in the ministry of reconciliation. We cannot do this if we feed our spirit distorted scripture and the wisdom of man.

    Positively Not a Hireling Illustration Right after a young man graduated, with high honors, from a prestigious Bible College he was hired by a rather large church. His father, the pastor of a small rural church, was bursting with pride at his son’s accomplishment. “Son,” he said, ...read more

    Just as God provided through the wilderness for the Israelites, God provides exactly what we need today.

    Introduction The Lord Provides By SermonCentral Copied from Sermon Central You’ve probably heard the story about an elderly Christian lady, who lived next to an affirmed atheist.

    Knowing The Heart Of The Father Series

    Contributed by Pat Damiani on Aug 21, 2014
     | 7,847 views

    Ninth and final message in this series. The Parable of the Prodigal Son demonstrates that misunderstanding the heart of the Father keeps us from experiencing His mercy.

    This morning we’ll conclude our nine week journey through some of the parables that Jesus told. Before we began this series I thought I had a pretty good handle on these mostly familiar parables. And there is no doubt that much of my previous understanding of these parables has been ...read more

    Who said Sunday is the new Sabbath? Roman Emperor Constantine did in 321 A.D. The Roman Catholic Church did. The Church of England did, and the Puritans did. But the Bible never did.

    INTRODUCTION The wife of a man who died assumed they had plenty of money so she gave him a very nice funeral and a fancy tombstone that said, “Rest in Peace.” However, when the estate was settled she learned he had wasted all their money on gambling and bad investments. This made her so angry she ...read more

    Ephesus had been a great church, but now it had lost it's first love for Jesus. If it happened to them, how can we make sure it doesn't happen to us?

    OPEN: Someone once asked a bunch of elementary aged children what they thought about love. Glenn, age 7: If falling love is anything like learning how to spell, I don’t want to do it. It takes too long. Regina, age 10 agrees: I’m not rushing into love. I’m finding fourth grade ...read more

    Selling Out To God Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Sep 20, 2021
    based on 2 ratings
     | 6,475 views

    Jesus's Parable of Hidden Treasure teaches all-out commitment to the kingdom of God. Christianity is not a little add-on to our busy, selfish life. It is a call to something so valuable that we would give up everything else to have it.

    Last week we began a message entitled “Valuing the Valuable.” That teaching led us to the Parable of the Treasure in Matthew 13:44. That is our text for today. There Jesus said, “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes ...read more

    What did Jesus mean when He said we could ask anything in His name?

    When the 1960s ended, San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury district reverted to high rent, and most of the hippies moved down the coast to Santa Cruz. They had children and got married, too, though in no particular sequence. But they didn't name their children Melissa or Brett. People in the ...read more

    Fortunetellers, Witchcraft, And Magic

    Contributed by Dennis King on Oct 25, 2021
     | 3,513 views

    The Bible does not differentiate between “good” and “bad” magic. Scripture doesn’t distinguish whether the magic is supposed to be used for good or for bad; it’s forbidden when and if it appears from a source other than God's powers or implementations.

    Over the course of your life, you probably have been exposed to discussions on white or black magic. White magic is often considered and described as “good” magic. This is in contrast to black magic, which is a power or phenomenon evoked by evil spirits. Some people believe both variants exist. ...read more

     | 5,132 views

    Advent and Communion call us to wait, to be strong, to let our hearts take courage as we wait for day when He wakes us from our deep and dreamless sleep so that we can be with Him in the New Jerusalem.

    Imagine you’re at home … watching some TV before you go to bed … when the power suddenly goes off. It’s dark. No lights inside. No lights outside. Might make you a bit nervous, you think? Even afraid? Now imagine that you have a big dog lying at your feet. Hum … you feel a bit more at ease, ...read more

    Faith In The 21st Century: The Seven Key Aspects Of Faith

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Apr 28, 2021
     | 2,789 views

    Faith is something that sets the Christian apart from the world. The Christian believes in a God unseen. The Christian believes differently from the world. The people of the world don't think in terms of belief.

    "Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. For by it the people of old received their commendation. By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible." Hebrews ...read more
