    Contributed by Paul Fritz on Apr 10, 2003
    based on 34 ratings
     | 9,425 views

    The Holy Spirit gives us a discerning mind to help us distinguish between truth and partial truths. Hebrews 5:14 says, "Solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil."

    How the Holy Spirit Protects Us From People Who Would Use the Scriptures for Their Selfish Ambitions (Mark 7:11,12) Illustration:Get the right perspective.

     | 3,164 views

    The Church continues the mission of Jesus Christ as one Body and is able to do so because of the prayer of that same Christ.

    Tuesday of the 7th Week in Easter 2019 Sometimes it helps us to understand that the Roman world in the first century did not speak Latin all over, or write in Latin all over the place. Most of the writing was done in Greek. And the Bible that they used was the Old Testament, because the New ...read more

    The Lord’s Prayer – Part 1 Matthew 6:5-13 David P.

    Are You Useful To God? Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 24, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 9,285 views

    God does not want believers to isolate or insulate themselves from the world and those who are lost. Like salt, Christians are called to make the world tastier; and like light, believers will shine the brightest only in the darkest places.

    Are you useful to God, or have you made yourself useless? When we come to know Jesus Christ, we are transformed into a holy instrument to be used by the Lord. We all have a purpose, but some of us choose to make ourselves useless by not allowing the Lord to touch us with His hand. To put it ...read more

    Five characteristics of the kind of church God uses.

    When your average unchurched person decides to go to church, that person is met with a bewildering array of different choices. There are so many different kinds of churches in our culture today, it can be very confusing trying to sort through them all. Churches come in different sizes. The average ...read more

    based on 15 ratings
     | 11,582 views

    The Magi heard the Word of God from the mouth of the most wicked man in the kingdom, Herod; never the less, the Holy Spirit used that word to establish faith in them moving them to continue their journey to worship the one, true king.

    The Epiphany of our Lord Matthew 2__1-12 Sun, Jan 6, 2008 First: Is. 60:1-6 Epistle: Eph. 3:1-12 Gospel: Matt. 2:1-12 Psalm: Psalm 72:1-11 (12-15) There is a story that I heard so long ago that I can’t remember who first told it.

    We are compelled to model and foster faith in Christ and His free gift of salvation --- our inheritance. As disciples, we put Him first in our lives. Let us not quench the spirit but fan into flame this gift from God.

    October 3, 2010 Nineteenth Sunday After Pentecost Text 2 Timothy 1:5-6 I have been reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, now lives in you also.

    In Deuteronomy 20 Moses tells the Israelite people how God wants them to conquer the promised land. He provides the principles of war. Paul tells us in Ephesians 6 that we fight a war today. Are the principles similar?

    In Deuteronomy 20 Moses tells the Israelite people how God wants them to conquer the promised land. He provides the principles of War. In short they are: 1. Don’t be afraid (vs. 1) 2. Be courageous and dependent on God (vs. 2-4) 3. Offer peace (to those outside the promised land) (vs. ...read more

    Where Is Our Focus?

    Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Aug 19, 2013
     | 4,517 views

    Life is never going to be easy, so sharing the Gospel will not be easy work! Jesus taught us this, the Disciples knew this as truth, so when it comes to sharing Christ will we submit to Him or still remain focused on ourselves?

    Where is our Focus? Acts 16:16-40 Introduction The Christian brothers and sisters at Antioch had good reason to rejoice -- They had been at the center of a great controversy; and stood firm in it -- The controversy? Answering, “What must we do to be saved?” Two weeks: We ...read more

    Recycling Our Pain Series

    Listen. God never wastes a hurt. What good is a trial if something good doesn’t come from it? Let’s look at the first of two questions I want us to try to answer.

    “Recycling our Pain” Matthew 5:10 In my personal study of the gospels one of the things I have noticed is that some of the teachings of Jesus are just very difficult for us to follow. At times when we read them they don’t even make sense. For instance, Jesus said: • If ...read more

    In order for churches and Christians to accomplish God's mission, we must have a shared vision from God. Jesus offered important direction when He told us what the most important command is.
