    Called To Be Rebels Series

    Contributed by Pat Cook on Jan 16, 2006
    based on 24 ratings
     | 7,503 views

    Looking at Jesus’ Temple cleansing, we can see He was a social revolutionary and a rebel against the culture, even the religious culture. This sermon calls people to rebel as well, as long as they’re obeying God.

    John 2:13-25 – Called to be Rebels You may have heard of Emily Post. She was born in the early 1870’s and died in 1960. She was the Martha Stewart of her day. Although she wrote a syndicated newspaper column and for a time also hosted a radio program, what made her famous was her book, called ...read more

    Looking For A Good Room

    Wealth holds us back from inheriting eternal life: but wealth is anything earthyl that we hold onto as valuable in opposition to things heavenly. We must melt down these idols and consecrate the gold to the temple.

    “What must I do to inherit eternal life?” (Mk. 17:17). There are two alternates to eternal life: eternal death and temporal life. Neither is appealing. Eternal life is worth struggling for. The rich young man asked the Lord what must he do. He understood that attainment of heaven was ...read more

    Introduction: Ezra was the second of three key leaders to leave Babylon for the reconstruction of Jerusalem. Zerubbabel reconstructed the temple (Ezra 3:8), Nehemiah rebuilt the walls (Nehemiah chapters 1 and 2), and Ezra restored the worship.

    "who Killed Jesus?"

    Contributed by David Henderson on Sep 3, 2021
     | 1,426 views

    When we look back at the life of Jesus, I find it helpful to look at it in segments and each segment comes with a theme. We see his birth and dedication in the temple; we’ll call that phase one.

    “Who Killed Jesus?” Matthew 12:1-14 When we look back at the life of Jesus, I find it helpful to look at it in segments and each segment comes with a theme.

    In this exposition of Zechariah 6:9-15, we have a revelation of Christ as the only man worthy to be High Priest and King of His people. He is the builder of the temple not made with hands. His exaltation is a delight to preach.

    Intro In our study of Zechariah, we have examined the eight visions God gave this prophet on February 15, 519 BC. That brings us to our text today in Zechariah 6:9-15. Follow with me as we read that passage. “Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying: 10 ‘Receive the gift from the captives — ...read more

    The Handwriting On The Wall Series

    Belshazzar arrogantly tested the Lord by converting the use of the most holy vessels from God's temple into vessels for the most unholy of purposes--worshiping idols and drunken immorality. He thus discovered a recipe for spiritual disaster. Learn from him how to avoid spiritual disaster!

    This morning, we have the privilege of consider the actual historical and Scriptural event that resulted in our proverbial saying, “And I saw the handwriting on the wall.” Obviously, the biblical story has made such an impression on people of our culture that 2600 hundred years later we still use ...read more

    Communion is a celebration of the One who opened what we could not open ourselves – the door of Heaven. He opened it on the cross and then He walked through the door of death and He waits for us on the other side where He will call us by our name and welcome us into His Temple.

    So far in our series on what we are as Christians we’ve looked how we are a child of God, we are a temple of the Holy Spirit, we are a slave of God, and we are a part of the body of Christ. Today, we will see that we are God’s workmanship.

    Will Christians Go Through The Tribulation Period? (Ix) Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Mar 1, 2021
     | 4,233 views

    Matthew's prediction of the Abomination of Desolation is compared to Luke's account of the destruction of the temple in 70 AD. Rightly diving this portion of the Olivet Discourse is crucial to understanding end-time prophecy. The focus of this message is Matthew 24:15-31.

    Last week we examined the first part of Jesus’s Olivet Discourse in Matthew 24:1-14. In that portion of the prophecy Jesus told us the conditions that would exist during this current age: deception, wars, pestilence, earthquakes, persecution, etc. In verse 8 He uses the metaphor of labor pains ...read more

    Pergamum: Satan's Throne Series

     | 3,968 views

    Are we clinging to our faith in Jesus and His word as firmly and as stubbornly as the Christians in Pergamum did or are we guilty of trying to live a compromised life with one foot in the world and one foot in the church?

    There was once a king who ruled over a vast city. He was feared for his might and loved for his wisdom. Now, in the heart of the city was a well whose waters were pure and crystalline from which all the inhabitants drank … except the king.

    Before the Holy Spirit can build a temple within the heart and before we can experience God’s best there is a price that must be paid. David gave us the example of the right attitude toward paying the price.

    Tabernacles was a popular festival rich in symbolism. It was a memorial to the wilderness journey & God’s provision of water from a rock. The water poured on the sacrificial rock altar of the temple represented the life giving water flowing from God.

    JOHN 7:37-39 RIVERS OF LIVING WATER [Deuteronomy 31:9-13] Tabernacles was a popular festival rich in symbolism. Each day of the feast of booths included a water ceremony in which a procession of priests descended to the south border of the city to the Gihon Spring (which flowed ...read more
