    Contributed by Richard Futrell on Oct 7, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 12,437 views

    In the middle of the Feast of Dedication (Hanukkah), where the people remembered the Most Holy Place being reconsecrated, Jesus says He is consecrated and set apart by the Father just like the Most Holy Place and just like the Temple.

    Intro It is now winter. The fall harvest complete, the skies are now a darker hue, and the festivals are over. The Israelites have kept God’s ordained festivals and now the long, cold wet winter descends until the spring festivals begin. We can easily lose our focus on God during this time ...read more

    THIS PORTION OF SCRIPTURE BRINGS US TO THE RELEASE OF PETER AND JOHN. THEY HAD HEALED A CRIPPLE THE PREVIOUS DAY (CHAPTER 3). THEY HAD BEEN ARRESTED FOR CREATING A COMMOTION IN THE TEMPLE AREA, DETAINED THAT NIGHT, AND THEN FACE THE SAME GROUP OF PEOPLE

    WORKING PRAYER Acts 4:23-31 On their release, Peter and John went back to their own people and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said to them. 24 When they heard this, they raised their voices together in prayer to God.

    If you walked through the Inspection Gate, you would step right out into the court of the temple and be very close to the location of the threshing floor of Ornan that David purchased to stay the judgment against Israel when a sacrifice was offered.

    Christmas & The Middle East Crisis

    Contributed by John Gaston on Dec 12, 2018
     | 2,355 views

    The real reason for the Middle-East Crisis: THE DEVIL IS TRYING TO HINDER THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST by stopping God’s elect nation from getting reestablished, stopping their having Jerusalem, stopping the building of the Temple and the reinstitution of sacrifices.

    CHRISTMAS & THE MIDDLE EAST CRISIS Gal. 4:21-29 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. I heard about a couple of men fishing off the coast of Wales, England in rough weather. One of the fishermen lost his dentures over the side of the boat. 2. His friend, wanting to pull a prank, bet him $100 that he ...read more

    Christmas 1 (B). By faith Simeon and Anna saw the fullness of redemption in Christ at His presentation in the temple. Likewise by faith, we see now the fullness of our redemption in Him, even though the future is yet to unfold.

    J. J. May the words of my mouth, and the meditations of our hearts, be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, our Rock and our Redeemer. Amen. “The other side of Christmas” We have been preparing for weeks. With Advent services and Advent candles, and Lessons and Carols, and ...read more

    We continue on in our own strength, how often when we can be empowered, filled and living out God given dreams that change the temple that is our body, world we live in. A Salvation Message.

    Do not be? For God is with you. Please be warned this is a Salvation Message and there will be an opportunity for response at the end of it. Have you ever forsaken something? What?

    Repent - The First Message Of Lord Jesus Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jun 3, 2021
    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,327 views

    In this period of 400 years when the Lord chose to remain silent, everything in the temple continued as it always had. The rituals of worship, sacrifices, feasts and festivals were carried out with regularity, but the dismal part was that the Lord was not in it. Why?

    Repent - The first message of Lord Jesus Matthew 3:1-2:“In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judea, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” (RSV) Matthew 4:17: “From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” ...read more

    The Profitable Servant Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Aug 20, 2012
    based on 114 ratings
     | 49,705 views

    I want to be a good servant for Jesus, but in this passage Jesus says I can do all kind of great ministry and still be an "unprofitable servant." What two things does Jesus say can stop me from being the profitable servant for Chris that I want to be?

    OPEN: The KJV translates Luke 17:10 this way: “So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, ‘We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.’” I don’t want to be an “unprofitable servant”. I want to be a profitable servant for ...read more

    Let’s see how Jesus showed kindness, because I think those are the ways we need to learn to show kindness today.

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK (Revised: 2015) A. Two weeks ago I started a series of sermons based on 1 Corinthians 13, & we began to consider what Paul said was "the most excellent way" to live. And that "most excellent way" is the way of love. ...read more

    Vision

     | 30,997 views

    The Word of God makes it clear that when we as His people do not get a fresh vision from Him it is because we do not seek Him in what He wants to do through us.

    Proverbs 29:18 (KJV) says, “Without vision the people perish.” - Vision according to John Maxwell is - Awareness- the ability to see - Attitude- the faith to believe - Action- the courage to do - George Barna says “vision for ministry is a reflection of what God wants to accomplish through us to ...read more

    There are no nonessential doctrines or gray areas to God.

    In 1986, one of the songs high on the charts was entitled, Why Does It Have To Be (Wrong or Right) by Restless Heart. The question came up in the song because a couple was deciding whether or not to have an affair and wondered why it had to be black or white or why you had to hurt one to ...read more

    Overcoming The World

    Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Dec 5, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,352 views

    If you have faith in Christ, you already have every resource to be an overcomer. God doesn’t allow us to surrender to worldly pressure or to hide ourselves away. But He says that in Christ we can conquer and gain the victory. Who is it that will overcome and persevere? Only the one who believes!

    What we do today isn’t very exciting. For we’re just a small church in a big world. We’re reading an old book, and we’re talking about an old story. Yet a Christian has been given different eyes, and we look at things in a different way. Beneath the surface, God helps us to see things as they ...read more

    Are You On The Way Or In The Way?

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Apr 5, 2022
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,711 views

    Early Jewish Christians referred to themselves as "The Way," which some have surmised comes from the book of Isaiah, where it was prophesied, "prepare the way of the Lord" (Isaiah 40:3).

    "The Way" is how Jesus referred to Himself, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" (John 14:6 ESV). Throughout the book of Acts, people who were followers of Jesus were not called Christians but considered "a sect of the ...read more
