    Fellowshipping With The Father And The Son - Part 4

    Contributed by Chuck Brooks on Jul 16, 2020
     | 1,111 views

    God has placed clues about Himself in His creation for everyone to see. As one finds a clue and responds to it, God reveals more about Himself, eventually leading the person to Himself.

    Review (1 John 1:5 NKJV) This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. The imagery or concept of God as "light" pictures God's self-revelation (cf. John 8:12; 9:5; 12:35, 36). The truth of the matter is ...read more

    When you uncover the things that people are passionate about… and see the things that they ‘willingly’ give their – time, energy, resources and efforts too, you will learn a lot about that person. Same is true of Jesus.

    The PassionS Of Christ I Want To Know Christ!!! – week three THIS MORNING – I want to start off our time together by reading a several New Testament passages that are basically doxologies… NOW - the word doxology comes from a combination of the two Greek words, doxa meaning glory, honor or ...read more

    God Has Rolled Away (Cancelled) My Reproach (Shame)

    Whatever makes a person feel life is not worth living physically, socially, spiritually, financially, academically, professionally is a reproach. Reproach Degrades, Shames, Blames, Embarrasses, Disgraces. But God Says - No More Reproach.

    GOD HAS TAKEN AWAY MY REPROACH 1. Joshua 5: 2 At that time the Lord said to Joshua, “Make flint knives for yourself and circumcise the sons of Israel again the second time.” 3 So Joshua made flint knives for himself, and circumcised the sons of Israel at the hill of the foreskins. 4 And this is the ...read more

    The Development Of A Man/Woman Of God

    Contributed by John Gaston on Jul 22, 2019
     | 5,362 views

    Daniel, a normal believer, was transformed into a person of such insight and faith, that he was promoted to serve 5 kings from three different conquering nations. What steps did he take that caused such a transformation?

    THE DEVELOPMENT OF A MAN/WOMAN OF GOD Dan. 1:3-17 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: FREE HAIRCUTS 1. One day a Barber cut a minister’s hair. When the minister reached for his wallet, the barber said, “No Reverend, it’s on me.” Next morning, as if by magic, there were 10 silver coins on his doorstep. 2. ...read more

    Are The Ministry Gifts And Calling Of God Without Repentance?

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Aug 13, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,096 views

    There is a belief in the church today that a person called to minister can still be effectual in reaching others for the sake of the Gospel because “the gifts and calling of God are without repentance” (Rom 11:29 KJV).

    In other words, a person can be in active and open unholy living and in rebellion to God’s law and still retain their position to be used to bless others without changing their sinful ways through repentance. It is true that God can use anything to promote His kingdom. He even used a donkey to get ...read more

    The Written Word Of God Versus Fresh Revelation

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Aug 16, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,148 views

    There are those who believe that the 66 books of the Bible are not enough, so they continuously look for fresh revelation through private prophetic words, dreams, or visions for a more meaningful personal experiential relationship with God.

    I consistently hear from those who want to justify that experiential special/fresh revelation supersedes what is written in the Bible because the “books” of the New Testament were not compiled until after 324 AD. Therefore, because the Disciples in the first century had to rely on hearing the ...read more

    In today’s lesson we discover the plot of the Bible, because knowing the plot of the Bible, gives us a better understanding of the Bible’s context so that we can discover personal change.

    As I said in the last lesson, the purpose of this series is to help us discover how to read and study the Bible. Last time our lesson was the on the purpose of Bible study. And we came to the conclusion that the ultimate purpose of Bible study is personal change for the glory of God. And I hope you ...read more

    Surpassing Life Values Series

    Jesus spoke revolutionary thoughts with his disciples. He became the first person on the earth who spoke on forgivness and practised. Especially forgiving the enemies. This sermon takes you to live a examplery life.

    Text: Mathew 5:21-48 Theme: New Life Values Plato likened the soul of a man to a charioteer whose task was to drive two horses. One is reason another is passion. Life is a conflict between these two. There is an inner tension between the good and the evil, Spiritual and carnal. All are living ...read more

    Do You Love Sinners? Series

    Think of this: what if the first person to meet the younger brother was the older brother. Think of the anger that would poured out his mouth: “You have a lot of nerve showing up here.”

    Today, we complete a three-week look at one of the most famous of all of Jesus’ teachings – The Parable of the Prodigal Son. This is a story that badly needs rescuing for many, if not most, stop the story when the younger son returns. But Jesus continues the story to an unfinished conclusion. This ...read more

    What does it mean to know God? It is not intellectual knowledge about Him. Knowing God involves having a vibrant intimate personal relationship with Him. This relationship should be ongoing, ever growing, and maturing.

    1. THE FIRST SPIRITUAL SECRET - Jesus said that God is a Spirit and we must have a spiritual connection. (John 4:24) Therefore, we need the Holy Spirit to make God known to us. Only as we rely on the Holy Spirit as our teacher can we know the Lord and understand His Word. “But the Comforter, which ...read more

    What would a person in hades ask of us if we were able to hear them? Jesus provides us insight into this dark situation when He reveals what a lost man asked.

    “There was a rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and who feasted sumptuously every day. And at his gate was laid a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, who desired to be fed with what fell from the rich man’s table. Moreover, even the dogs came and licked his sores.

    Be Supportive Of Other Churches Series

     | 3,242 views

    If we serve the Lord with the impure motive of personal gain, instead of with the intention of leading people to faith in Christ, then we can become self-focused, critical and judgmental of other believers and other churches.

    The apostle Paul once admonished the Philippians, “Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others” (Philippians 2:3-4). In ...read more

    Paul would go anywhere - endure anything -for the hope of winning one person to Jesus and he believed the eternal reward completely exceeded anything he had to suffer here on earth

    November 20, 2021 2nd Corinthians differs from 1st Corinthians in that it deals with personal attacks leveled at Paul rather than doctrinal issues. Around 56/57 AD, Paul was in Macedonia when Titus finally brought word regarding the church in Corinth. Good News!! The Corinthian believers ...read more

    For 40 days Jesus proved Himself to be a resurrected human being. Not a ghost. Not a delusion. Not a figment of their imagination, but a real, living person who had pierced the veil of death victorious. Now His Coronation.

    In Jesus Holy Name May 22, 2022 Text: Acts 1:9-11 Redeemer Lutheran “Acts 1: Where Did Jesus Go?” Why did Jesus return to heaven? Why did He leave earth?

    How Was I To Know?

    This sermon is a first-person narrative from the perspective of the innkeeper. We have all too often made the innkeeper into a bad guy. What if he did everything for the family that he could do?

    Well, it would seem I was between a rock and a hard place. I was in a situation, where there were no easy answers. I looked hard for the simple answers because, you know, they say the simplest is always the best. But, it wasn’t a simple lesson I faced. Later in his life Jesus faced several of those ...read more
