    There are seven characteristics that must be present in those who wish to walk with God in order for them to be pleasing to God and to attempt to duplicate the life of Enoch which in the end caused him to go up in his own private Rapture!

     | 8,241 views

    Sometimes it's hard to remember where we came from. Sometimes our own pride gets in our way. Let's take a look at a few great men from the Bible, where they came from, and what God turned them into.

    Jonathan Newlon Uniontown Church of Christ 1 May 2020 Ephesians 2:11-22 Remember What You Were Introduction Memory can be a funny thing. I can’t tell you how many times I try to recall an event to someone only to be seemingly corrected by someone else who was there. They remember the event much ...read more

    Introduction To Ruth Series

    Contributed by Revd. Martin Dale on Jun 6, 2020
     | 4,597 views

    In this introduction we look at the background to the book itself, who the Moabites were and the concept of Levirite marriage, as well as looking at the fact that Ruth is in our Lord's genealogy

    Introduction to Ruth Story. Almost ten years ago, I decided to downsize. Now when a rural Vicar talks of downsizing, he means reducing the number of parishes he has. In my case it meant going from 15 parishes to five. And this also meant moving house. As we were taking our bedroom apart, I ...read more

    2 Timothy 2:14-19 shows us several ways a worker is approved by God.

    Introduction One fall, at the first church I served, I attended a men’s retreat. About 175 men from several churches in the district attended the weekend retreat for men. I don’t remember the name of the speaker for the men’s retreat but I do remember two things about him. First, he spoke without ...read more

    The theme of this week’s morning message what it takes to be overcomers in this world we live in. In our study we’ll get a clearer view of what is this world we must overcome, what prevents us from overcoming, and then what and who helps us become overcomers.

    In this text we are going to talk about something that most folks do not like to talk about, that is SNAKES!

    Illus: When it comes to snakes, most of us are like the fellow who said that the only kind of snakes he likes are dead snakes. However, we all have seen some people who enjoy playing with these slimy creatures. Every time we see people doing this, we experience a comforting feeling from within ...read more

    A song that a lot of churches used to sing a lot, was, “I shall not be moved.”

    The chorus of that song goes like this, “I shall not be, I shall not be moved; I shall not be, I shall not be moved: just like a tree that’s planted by the waters, Lord, I shall not be moved.” But the problem with many of the saints of God singing that song is that they are not like a tree planted ...read more

    Never Too Old To Serve

    Maybe you happen to be reaching the age of retirement. You need to realize that accepting your age can lead to losing the best years of your life. Do not become inactive and resigned, but continue to serve the Lord's kingdom.

    Tyron Edwards stated, “Age does not depend upon years, but upon temperament and health. Some men are born old, and some never grow old.”(1) Sophia Loren said, “There is a fountain of youth: it is in your mind, your talents, and the creativity that you bring to your life and to the lives of the ...read more

    Overcoming The Bitter Root

     | 5,455 views

    Bitterness arises from failing to forgive someone who has wronged you. It comes from clinging to bad memories or hurtful experiences from the past and not letting them go. Many times bitterness will give rise to vengeance.

    Our sermon this morning is entitled, “Overcoming the Bitter Root.” Bitterness can be defined as harboring resentment and unforgiveness in our heart toward another person. Bitterness is also defined as, “extreme enmity,” “a grudge,” or “hatred.”(1) The meaning of the word bitter itself is, “sharp ...read more

    Receiving God’s Grace

    There are many believers who know about grace in their mind, but they haven’t taken it to heart. God loves us for who we are, and we do not have to perform for Him or try to be perfect. All the Lord expects is that we simply be His.

    Jesus said, “If the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed” (Jn 8:36 NASB); but how many Christians are actually living as though they’re free? Some portray the look of a death row inmate awaiting the day of execution! There are believers living with regret over past mistakes and sins, and ...read more

    Many don’t know how to pray. Prayer involves more than petition. When times get tough believers must fall to their knees before the throne of mercy with nobody else around. In the most terrifying week of His life Jesus retreated to pray. It was in Gethsemane where He won the victory, not on Calvary!

    Introduction Slide 1 (title of series) For those who missed it, last week we began a 12 week adventure in the life of Jesus as we study what are called “The 12 stations of the cross.” In the last few weeks of the life of Jesus on earth we will study significant places He stopped at and what we can ...read more
