Individualism

Contributed by Tim Smith on Jun 16, 2013

We have become captive to the idea that faith is a private matter. In effect, we have bought into society’s value of individualism. Individualism is leading life one’s own way with little to no regard or connection to others

Individualism Joshua 7: 2-12a Imagine somebody courteously asking, “How is your family life?” or “How is your prayer life?” or “Is your thought life pure?” or “How wisely do you use your time?” or as John Wesley would ask Methodists in his day, ...read more

Timothy To Come Soon, Hopefully Followed By Paul Himself Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Jan 1, 2019

Paul is sending Timothy to the Philippians for at least two purposes. Paul is eager to receive information about how the congregation is doing, whether they are living in a manner worthy of the gospel, and he wants to encourage them about his own situation in Rome.

Date: 10/31/18 Lesson #18 Title: Timothy to Come Soon, Hopefully Followed by Paul Himself • “Special Notes” and “Scripture” follow associated verses. • NIV Bible is used throughout unless noted otherwise.

Jesus Among Secular Gods, Part 3 - Who's Mountain Are You Climbing? Answering Questions Of Humanism & Pluralism Series

Contributed by Dr. Bradford Reaves on Oct 28, 2019

According to God's own Word, every nation tribe, people and language will be represented in heaven. It is important, however, not to confuse the reach of God's saving grace to all nations with a misconception that all roads lead to God.

To whom then will you compare me, that I should be like him? Says the Holy One. 26 Lift up your eyes on high and see: who created these? He who brings out their host by number, calling them all by name; by the greatness of his might and because he is strong in power, not one is missing. (Isaiah ...read more

When Judgement Arrives Series

Contributed by Allan Quak on Jun 5, 2020

On Judgement Day the account of each person who ever lived on earth will be revealed and every person will realise that there is no one righteous. Our confidence in that moment comes when we know the name of the Jesus who will name us as his own.

Jesus Is Still Sovereign Revelation 20:11-15 When Judgement Arrives In the past 7 weeks the Sunday messages have been focussing on areas and situations which come up in our lives. Consistently, as we have focussed on these situations, we have seen again and again that Jesus Is Still Sovereign. … ...read more

Receiving The Lord’s Chastening

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 8, 2022

God chastens us for our own good. However, usually, when we are going through His chastening we resist the Lord with all of our might. But this passage shows how it would be beneficial to receive the Lord’s chastening.

I have entitled our message this evening, “Receiving the Lord’s Chastening,” and I wish to begin by sharing an illustration entitled, “God’s Loving Kick”: A Norfolk-Southern train was rolling down the rails of Indiana at 24 miles per hour. Suddenly the conductor, Robert Mohr, spotted an object ...read more

Divine Healing: Take The Devil To Court

Contributed by John Gaston on Oct 14, 2023

Our Enemy resists us receiving any of the benefits of Christ. We must go to Court with our Advocate, Jesus, who will present the Exhibits of His suffering to prove that we are heirs and benefactors. Then we can claim our own!

DIVINE HEALING: TAKE THE DEVIL TO COURT Mt. 26:27-28 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. During the years when Poland was still a communist bloc country, and the Christian church was still persecuted, it was very difficult for Christians to go to an underground church meeting.

A Clean Heart In A Dirty World

Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Aug 11, 2020

I love the 51st Psalm. It’s a very personal prayer of Confession - Self-Examination - A Cry For Forgiveness. I can really identify with the author of this Psalm. Not with what he did, but with his own sense and need for forgiveness.

TITLE: A CLEAN HEART IN A DIRTY WORLD SCRIPTURE: PSALM 51:1-12 Out of all the 150 Psalms, I believe this is one of the most heart wrenching of them all. It is a heart filled and genuine account of David’s guilty heart. There is no real need to enlarge the circumstances, the heading tells the ...read more

Give God What Is His (October 22, 2017).

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Aug 14, 2020

Why were the Pharisees wanting to try to trick Jesus? The reason why they wanted to try and trick Jesus was because Jesus’s authority rivaled their own! In trying to force Jesus to choose a side, they hoped to get Jesus to incriminate Himself.

GIVE GOD WHAT IS HIS Text: Matthew 22:15 - 22 How many times have you heard someone say something like, “I only have to do two things, pay taxes and die”? Now they even have a new tax added on which is called by some a “death tax” which means that they tax the estate that is on by a ...read more

Put Thou My Tears Into Thy Bottle

Contributed by Thomas Andrufski on Feb 20, 2021

This sermon shows us the deep and meticulous way God sees us. He knows and is concerned with His people in every way. (Make this sermon yours by putting in your own stories of how you have been comforted by God)

Psalms 56:8 (KJV) Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book? This scripture shows us the tender heart of our heavenly Father. He has a tear bottle —in fact, perhaps a tear bottle for each of His wandering children. Ancient “tear bottles” have ...read more

Psalm 5 - Get The Inside Right First Series

Contributed by Rob De Jongh on Mar 15, 2021

God wants us to be right from within, and no amount of flattery on the outside will cover a rotten inside. We need to work on our own inner thoughts and desires first, so that the outward words and actions flow naturally from within.

In Psalm 5, David says this: "For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue." (Psa 5:9) Notice here that there are people who can flatter you and seem great on the outside, but ...read more

Being A Godly Father Of Encouagement

Contributed by J Jeffrey Smead on Jun 18, 2021

As men of Christ we are to live moral and virtuous lives based on Scriptural principles and to be a light of encouragement. And The result will not only be the renewal of our own lives; It will bring renewal to our families, to our churches, to our community and ultimately to our world.

Messes To Messages - Genesis 29-30 Series

Contributed by Scott Turansky on Jul 24, 2021

Life can get messy. There's a hundred shopping carts, but I pick the one that has the broken wheel that thumps every time it goes around and has a mind of its own and it turns itself into unsuspecting customers.

A Christmas Message: Peace Of God

Contributed by Sunitha Justin on Dec 20, 2021

Christmas, or coming of Jesus into the world, brought us peace in three ways. 1. Jesus brought us peace with God. 2. Jesus brought us peace with our own self. 3. Jesus brought us peace with others

The Hebrew word for peace is Shalom. Shalom is used as salutation by Jewish people at meeting or parting, meaning ‘peace’. Shalom means peace, harmony, wholeness, completeness, prosperity, welfare and tranquillity. Shalom doesn’t mean ‘absence of problems’ or ‘absence of trouble’. Rather, the ...read more
