    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Dec 8, 2023
     | 2,329 views

    Acts 20 has a summary of Paul's ministry in various places after he left Ephesus. His closing message to the elders of Ephesus is a masterpiece of a charge to church leaders anywhere.

    1 Paul’s journeys from Ephesus to Troas Text, Acts 20:1-6, KJV: 1 And after the uproar was ceased, Paul called unto him the disciples, and embraced them, and departed for to go into Macedonia. 2 And when he had gone over those parts, and had given them much exhortation, he came into Greece, 3 And ...read more

    Is Official Or Formal Church Membership In A Local Church According To Scripture – Part 2 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on May 3, 2025
     | 376 views

    Formal church membership that involves special membership and voting rights is contentious. In this Part 2, I open up the matter to show how out of sync the matter is with the membership of the one Body of Christ, and the discrimination. We delve into some scriptures to bring this out.

    IS OFFICIAL OR FORMAL CHURCH MEMBERSHIP IN A LOCAL CHURCH ACCORDING TO SCRIPTURE – PART 2 In Part 1 we looked at the practice some churches have of there being an official local church membership that divides “members”, adherents and attendees into “MEMBERS” and “NON-MEMBERS” depending if one has ...read more

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on May 8, 2025
     | 514 views

    The moment we realize who Jesus really is, worship is in order. Hab 2:20 “But the LORD is in His holy temple; let all the earth keep silence before Him.” When we come to him and recognize him, we worship him.

    Sermon: Embracing God’s Great Commission Scripture: Matthew 28:16-20 “Then the eleven disciples left for Galilee, going to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw him, they worshiped him—but some of them doubted! Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all ...read more

    Divisions Over Spiritual Gifts

    Contributed by Phillip Smith on Sep 11, 2024
     | 466 views

    Many divisions have occurred in Christian assemblies for centuries. Understanding or misunderstanding Spiritual Gifts given by grace to mankind from God has been the cause for divisions. Are these gifts still present today? Are they utilized properly?

    Most of the time, assemblies of persons desiring to worship Almighty God will be filled with those who had been introduced to God by attending an assembly with their parents and grand-parents. However, some may be in attendance who never knew much concerning God and spiritual things. Now they are ...read more

    Passover (Pesach) And Unleavened Bread (Matzoh)

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Nov 1, 2024
     | 615 views

    Passover is about redemption and foreshadows that Christ died for our sin; Unleavened Bread foreshadows the reason Christ died for our sins is – to make us holy.

    The Feasts of Passover and Unleavened Bread (Leviticus 23:4-8) 1. Since we are discussing the seven original annual Jewish Feasts, we should begin with a Jewish joke. 2. It was a sweltering August day when all three Cohen brothers entered the posh Dearborn, Michigan, offices of Henry Ford, the ...read more

    An Unusual Robbery

    Contributed by John Gaston on Jan 3, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,271 views

    Everything belongs to God and we are stewards of what God entrusts to us. God requires we give back to Him a tenth of all our income. God tells us that to fail to pay tithes is to rob Him of what's His. If we do tithe we receive a seventh-fold blessing.

    AN UNUSUAL ROBBERY Mal. 3:8-12 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A pastor of a country church was talking to one of his church members about tithing. He asked him, “Jim, if you had 100 horses, would you give 10 of them to the Lord?” The farmer answered, “Yes Pastor, I’d give 10 of them to the Lord.” ...read more

    In Mt. 16:18, Jesus replies to Peter saying, ‘…thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” Have you ever pondered what Jesus meant by ‘the gates of hell’ shall not prevail against the church?

    Contributed by Clark Tanner on Jul 12, 2010
     | 9,546 views

    Nicodemus needed to know, as we all do, that salvation is God's work on the inside. You must be born again.

    “Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews; 2 this man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, “Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him.” 3 Jesus answered and ...read more
