    The Apostles And Others Gathered In Jerusalem Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Feb 22, 2017
     | 8,753 views

    Their obedience is remarkable, because they could have returned to their homes; but instead, they went into Jerusalem where more of their enemies lived than in any other place. They were obedient to their Lord, who told them to return to Jerusalem.

    May 20, 2013 By: Tom Lowe Lesson I.B.1: The Apostles and Others Gathered in Jerusalem Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1.12-14 Acts 1.12-14 (KJV) 12 Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day's journey. 13 And when they ...read more

    A study for Lent. A study of Judas - a man so close but was lost.

    Judas Iscariot The man who betrayed Jesus. Matt.10:2-4 Of all the characters who march across the stage of Bible history, there is none so tragic nor so despicable as that of Judas Iscariot Judas background. His last name meant “a man of Kerioth.” This is significant because all of the other ...read more

    The Individual Believer’s Former State

     | 3,273 views

    The intention of the apostle in this short section is to show the exceeding sinfulness of sin, and to express the sad estate and condition of man by nature, and to magnify the riches of the grace of God, and represent the exceeding greatness of His power.

    By: Tom Lowe Title: The Individual Believer’s Former State (2:1-3) Ephesians 2:1-3 (KJV) 1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; 2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit ...read more

    Jesus' Final Words (Part 1)

    Contributed by Henry Trocino Jr. on Mar 26, 2017
     | 15,314 views

    This sermon expounds the first three of the last sayings of Jesus on the cross. The method is exegetical and expository, drawing out the authorial intent and context of the words of Luke, Matthew, and John.

    Every year, most Christian churches in the Philippines hold the “Siete Palabras,” or “Seven Sayings” services, stressing the last seven words of Jesus on the cross. I remember every Good Friday back in the 70s, Fellowship Baptist Church of Bacolod would hold a special Seven Sayings service at 2-4 ...read more

    Easter is four Sundays away. As we begin to focus on what it represents, I wanted to begin by looking at the resurrections that preceded Jesus'. There were actually five instances of people coming back from the dead before it happened to Jesus.

    THE RESURRECTIONS BEFORE THE RESURRECTION (part one) 1st Kings 17:7-24 Easter is four Sundays away.

    Worship Is A Verb!

    Contributed by Scott Coltrain on Mar 31, 2017
     | 5,828 views

    Worship services are first and foremost to offer worship to God through Christ Jesus, rather than satisfy the attendee. Many have lost sight of the fact that Church services are more about the attendee giving than receiving.

    “I used to attend congregational worship services but I quit because I got nothing from it.” “Church is boring.” “When I sit in the pew during church services, I think about how much more I could be accomplishing if I had stayed home.” Through the decades, I have heard a multitude of people ...read more

    This is the 24th sermon in a series on the Gospel of John. In this sermon we look at Jesus' claim to divinity by His statement "I am the Light of the World."

    Jesus: Light of the World (John pt. 24) Text: John 8:12-30 Well Church; we’ve made it to John chapter 8. And We’re actually going to jump down to verse 12, and not read verses 1 through 11 this morning.

A Contemplation of the sons of Korah. 1 As the deer pants for the water brooks, so pants my soul for You, O God. 2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.

    Preparing For Revival Series

    Contributed by Brad Stone on Oct 15, 2019
     | 7,630 views

    It is important if we, as the church, ever plan or desire to see revival break forth in our church, that we make preparation prior to a series of meetings. Revival should always begin before a scheduled series of meetings and continue long after. (Compiled using resources from Sermon Central)

    Preparing for Revival Joel 2:12 – 18 I always love reading “Top Ten” lists or seeing shows that present a “Top Ten” list of either funny videos, silly decisions or actions of people, so on so forth. In preparation for this message, I came across a top ten list that I found quite comical and I ...read more

    Rehoboam would be the last King to sit under a 'united tribes of Israel'. What brought about this division?

    BEWARE OF THE ERROR OF REHOBOAM "And Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all Israel had gone to Shechem to make him king. 2 So it happened, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard it (he was still in Egypt, for he had fled from the presence of King Solomon and had been dwelling in Egypt), 3 that they ...read more

    Jesus Wept

    Have you ever stopped to wonder what could possibly bring tears to the eyes of God? Can you imagine the face of Jesus, moist with his own tears? Are they tears of weakness or of strength? Of fear or compassion?

    TITLE: JESUS WEPT SCRIPTURE: ST. JOHN 11:35 This is the shortest verse in the Bible -- “JESUS WEPT.” But for all its grammatical simplicity, it’s packed with unfathomable complexity. No book has a higher Christology, the study of Christ, than the Gospel of John. His persistent focus on ...read more

    Contributed by Dr. Bradford Reaves on Feb 18, 2020
     | 2,514 views

    we put quite a bit of effort into being attractional to the culture outside of the church. But is this really the best approach? How much is the church allowing culture to influence worship? When we understand the evangelistic nature of worship, we can better approach our role.
