    First we looked at the motivational gifts in Rom. 12:6-8. Then the manifestation gifts in 1 Cor. 12:7-11. Now we'll go to Eph. 4:11, "It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists and some to be pastors and teachers."

    GIFTED (part ten) We've looked at the motivational gifts in Rom. 12:6-8. Then we went to 1st Cor. 12:7-11 and looked at the manifestation gifts.

    Teacher's Pet Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Aug 19, 2018
    based on 4 ratings
     | 18,426 views

    I want to be Jesus' teacher's pet. I want to be His favorite pupil. This passage gives us the key to pleasing Jesus and becoming more like Him in my life. (Spoiler alert - it has to do with how I treat people I don't like)

    OPEN: A great scholar was once asked about a young man who was in his class. The person said, "So and so tells me that he was one of your students." The scholar just smiled sadly and said, "Well, he may have attended my lectures, but he was not one of my students.” What was that scholar saying? ...read more

    Palm Branches And Willow Branches

    Contributed by Dean Morgan on May 1, 2017
     | 12,661 views

    The palm branch was a symbol of triumph and victory in Roman times. The willow represents weeping, sorrow, difficult times. When you come into my presence the Lord said He wanted you to bring a palm branch in one hand and a willow in another.

    We need to begin by looking at the context this verse is set in. This is part of the ceremony concerning the Feast of Tabernacles. This festival, which was instituted in grateful commemoration of the Israelites having securely dwelt in booths or tabernacles in the wilderness, was the third of the ...read more

    God-Appointed Down Times

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 18, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,084 views

    Perhaps you have a calling; and yet, you haven’t heard from the Lord in a while and feel directionless. This message explores how the apostle Paul had to undergo both a three-year and a fourteen-year down-time consecutively.

    When you are down to nothing, God is up to something! - Barbara Franklin(1) Have you ever been assigned a task from the Lord, or been asked by Him to do something specific? Perhaps you’ve been called to pastor a church, become a missionary, attend seminary, or even start a new outreach in the ...read more

    Do You Show Partiality?

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 26, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,618 views

    This message looks at four different types of partiality that take place in churches: Class, Geographic, Racial, and Denominational discrimination. Prejudice in the church displeases the Lord, it is unjust and a complete travesty!

    Last Sunday was recognized on the SBC calendar as Racial Reconciliation Sunday, and so I want to share something applicable today. I’ve entitled our message, “Do You Show Partiality?” and this is actually a question for each of us here today. According to Noah Webster, in the 1828 American ...read more

    Breaking Our Flask

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 1, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,804 views

    Some people, like Judas, are ignoring God's call, as they are too busy making their life in this world secure. Like the woman who broke her alabaster flask, we must break our flesh so the good things of God can pour out of us.

    Henry Ward Beecher once said, “In this world it is not what we take up, but what we give up, that makes us rich.”(1) Our passages of Scripture for this morning speak of sacrifice. One definition of sacrifice is “to offer to God in homage or worship,” and another one is “to destroy, surrender, or ...read more

     | 3,160 views

    In this passage, some people questioned Paul's honesty and integrity. He assured them that the message he preached was true, and that God is forever faithful. Paul said, “All the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen.”

    A defense attorney was cross-examining a police officer during a felony trial and it went like this: Q. Officer, did you see my client fleeing the scene? A.

    Where Do You Stand? Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 25, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,523 views

    This message looks at how our heart is like soil into which the gospel is planted, and we must be certain that our soil is fertile and ready to receive the Word. Otherwise, we will wither in our relationship with God; or worse, we will perish.

    I have entitled our message, “Where Do You Stand?” This morning, as we look at what’s called the “Parable of the Sower,” we’re going to see how Jesus talks about four different soils, or four different types of spiritual ground, on which people may stand in relation to God. Something challenging ...read more

    Those Who Believed Were Baptized

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Aug 28, 2020
     | 3,561 views

    In the New Testament accounts, those who believed were baptized. No one was baptized and then believed, but those who believed were baptized because they were saved.

    “When [those listening] heard [Peter’s command] they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, ‘Brothers, what shall we do?’ And Peter said to them, ‘Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will ...read more

    Jesus blew all of Nicodemus' categories when he told him that in order to see or enter the kingdom of God he must be born again.

    Israel’s Cleansing Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Oct 10, 2022
     | 2,355 views

    This exposition of Zechariah 13:1-6 explores the spiritual transformation of Israel prior to the Millennium. The fountain for cleansing from sin will be opened for all of Israel on that day. Today that fountain is opened to all who will receive Christ.

    Intro In our previous message, the national repentance of Israel is described in Zechariah 12:10-14. That work of grace involved three steps: 1st God initiated this salvation process by pouring out on Israel “a spirit of grace and supplication”i on the people. 2nd Christ is revealed to the nation ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 425 views

    To establish that the Scriptures reveal Jesus Christ as Savior. Class is still out for some of our Scholars in this regard; some would have Him yet in the tomb, while others see Him no more than a mere man. This dissertation proves Jesus Christ is the Savior.

    INTRODUCTION 3. Jesus Christ Is Savior Introductory Remarks. 1. During our research and development on the lesson on being “partakers of the divine nature of Christ,” as described in 2 Peter 1:3-4, a great truth emerged. And that was that many religious scholars deny or reject the divinity of ...read more

    The "Normal" Church

    Contributed by Billy Kryger on Oct 20, 2003
    based on 29 ratings
     | 4,551 views

    "Normal" means "conforming to a standard". The Standard for our churches ought to be the Lord Jesus Christ. The church at Jerusalem gives us an excellent blueprint for how a church ought to be.

    INTRODUCTION: God wants every church to be a “normal” church. What is normal? Webster’s dictionary says, “conforming to a standard.” God has given the standard for His church. When we compare the church in the book of Acts with our churches today, we fall so far short of God’s standard. ...read more
