    based on 3 ratings
     | 419 views

    Explore the Lordship of Christ over the Sabbath, the scrutiny of religious leaders, and the importance of obeying God's laws over human standards.

    Good morning, dear family of faith. We're going to dive right into the Word today from the Gospel of Luke, Chapter 14, verses 1-6. I love how Charles Spurgeon put it: "The Gospel is like a caged lion. It does not need to be defended, it just needs to be let out of its cage." So, let's unleash the ...read more

    Explore the power, blessings, and victory that come from faithfulness, encouraging us to remember and imitate the faith of our spiritual leaders.

    Good morning, dear family in Christ. Today, we are going to explore a powerful message found in Hebrews 13:7. It tells us, "Remember your leaders, who spoke the word of God to you.

    Picky Picky Belief Series

    Contributed by Pat Cook on Apr 14, 2006
    based on 6 ratings
     | 3,362 views

    The religious leaders were selective about which laws to follow and which ones to ignore or defy. We are too. The point of this is to expose our own double-standards and lead us to show mercy to others.

    John 19:31-37 – Picky Picky Belief Tonight, in our last message of The Life of Jesus before Resurrection Day, I’d like to point out an interesting characteristic about the religious leaders that really bears hearing. Just to let you know: likely something I say tonight might make you angry. ...read more

    The Interview Series

    What makes a marriage work? How do families in your congregation keep it together and avoid divorce? In this presentation, I interviewed 6 different couples in our church and exposed the strengths and weaknesses we all have in keeping a marriage together?

    For the Valentine’s Day Weekend, in place of a sermon we held an interview on stage with 3 of our solid couples from the congregation (3 in each of our two services). Since the Apostle Paul told Timothy and Titus that Elders must be good husbands and fathers we believe there’s a high ...read more

    Addressing The Realities Of Life Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Mar 23, 2015
     | 6,745 views

    Being human is generally a good thing. The temptation in our day is to manipulate or engineer human nature and deny its realities. But a church is about real people, redeemed by Jesus, but fully human — even more human — because of that redemption.

    Addressing the Realities of Life (I Timothy 5:1-16) 1. Some people have a sanitized view of life. Life, however, is often less glamourous. 'Cash, check or charge?' I asked, after folding items the woman wished to purchase. As she fumbled for her wallet, I noticed a remote control for a ...read more

    As a Christian, by what standard do you measure your leadership choices? By God's? By your own? By the world's? Do you make your leadership choices according to strength, money, loud music, catchy slogan or jingle, empty words, emotions, popularity? Or do you choose your leaders ...read more

    Life is unpredictable, so expect to be surprised.

    A few years ago (2017), authorities apprehended a group of Minnesota teens for attempting to steal a cake from a local grocery store. The teens were embarrassed, but even more so when they discovered the cake was fake—it was a cardboard display cake. The grocery store owner decided not to press ...read more

    The Pastoral Challenge

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Oct 24, 2022
     | 3,289 views

    Timothy was not technically a pastor; he was actually Paul’s “delegate.” Nonetheless, he approximated the pastoral role in that he was a shepherd. Timothy faced a number of challenges, as do modern pastors who are serious about the Word. Let’s look at a few of them.

    The Pastoral Challenge (I Timothy 4:6-16) 1. At a recent pastor’s retreat each minister in attendance was asked the following question: “How many people does it take to replace a burnt out light bulb?” The answers were as follows. 2.A Reformed Pastor responded, “None. If God wants the bulb ...read more

    You must not be called ’Teacher,’ because you are all equal and have only one Teacher. And you must not call anyone here on earth ’Father,’ because you have only the one Father in heaven. Nor should you be called ’Leader,’ because your one and only leader

    “Call no man ‘Father’” says Jesus. That’s part of our reading today from Matthew 23. Jesus says, “call no man ‘Father’”. What’s that doing here? And I don’t just mean what’s it doing here as this week’s reading. I mean, what’s it doing in the Bible? Since the (not so recent) publication of “The ...read more

    How To Biblically Respond To The New Us President?

     | 2,656 views

    Many Christians worried that America will become more liberal under the new leader and leave Christian values. As Christians who want to do God's commands, how should we respond to our country's leader biblically, especially if we disagree with his policies?

    Praise God, the presidential inauguration last Wednesday has proceeded safely. America now has a new president and vice president. However, it is clear that not everyone likes the new president Joseph Biden. Jim Denison wrote, "Moments before the president-elect took the stage for his ...read more

     | 772 views

    Jesus tells parables to warn the religious leaders not to remain in their unbelief and disobedience. We are called to believe and obey God. We obey Him because He loves us.

    Matt 21:33-46 TRUST AND OBEY GOD We just read a parable by Jesus this morning – the parable about the evil tenants. • If you take a look at what He said before and after, you will notice that Jesus spoke THREE parables in a row. • The first one was the parable of the two sons ...read more

    To turn to anything other than Christ for salvation is spiritually fatal! Christ alone fulfilled everything the OT pointed to in type. In fact His 3 appearances are vital for us. Tomorrow as we delve into scripture, we will see what Christ's 3 appearances

    The Sermon on the Mount appears to contradict so many other Scriptures unless viewed through the eyes of first century Judaism. No need to strain and squeeze to harmonize Jesus teachings here with His other teachings, the OT, or the rest of the NT. The

    We Have A Scapegoat

    Contributed by David Mcnally on Feb 8, 2014
     | 6,201 views

    In the OT the blood of sacrificed animals was shed to take away the sins of the people and this had to be done annually, but when Jesus went to the cross on our behalf in obedience to the Father's will, our sins were taken away once and for all.

    Leviticus 16:1-22 Our Scapegoat Do you remember, when David Cameron, Nick Clegg and the Coalition took over from Gordon Brown and Ed Balls after the last election, the new Chancellor of the Exchequer found a note from the outgoing one saying 'There is no money, it has all gone!'
