    What is a word of knowledge, and is it for today? This message examines this supernatural gift of the Holy Spirit, providing examples of its operation as revealed in Scripture. Examples in the pastor's life are also included.

    Intro We are studying the gifts of the Spirit that Paul talks about in 1 Cor. 12. By examining Paul’s description there, we know that these are not natural abilities. These are supernatural impartations by the Holy Spirit to meet the need of the moment. They are manifestations of the Spirit who is ...read more

    Part 3 of the Sermon Series, "God of Elisha"

    We have learned an important lesson—the quality of our lives depends on the quality of our heart relationship with God. God looks at our hearts and deals with each of us accordingly. Yet there is the element of divine grace. Even though our heart relationship with God oftentimes falls short of His ...read more

    Conformity To The Cross Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 4, 2021
     | 2,374 views

    The Corinthians Christians had become arrogant, crowing like a rooster. To use a Texas idiom, they had become “all hat and no cattle.” In the words of Glenn Campbell, “A Rhinestone Cowboy.”

    It’s a message from Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians and it represents a journey of sorts. A journey to an another land – and older land – where the goals of Christianity were not set by marketers in order to make it more palatable. Instead, the agenda was set by prophets who sought holy, ...read more

     | 1,146 views

    Where has church leadership failed? How should all pastors (shepherds) behave towards the flock of God? We look at Peter’s requirements for this high position. Remember the words “accountability to the Chief Shepherd”.

    I was asked to share my feelings about suicide by the husband, who had been hurt many years earlier by some inappropriate comments by a pastor upon the suicide death of his friend.

    “My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth. And by this we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before Him.

    How To Tell If Your Spiritual Health Is Good

    Contributed by Brian Atwood on Jun 20, 2003
    based on 179 ratings
     | 26,500 views

    Our English word "hygiene" comes from the Greek word for "sound" (sound doctrine; sound faith; sound speech) used in the Pastoral Letters - this sermon evaluates these signs of good spiritual health.

    Going to the doctor for a checkup is something a lot of people do religiously. They want to make sure their health is not failing in ways they can’t detect on their own. Not a bad idea. Likewise we are prone to miss some signs of poor spiritual health if we don’t check up on it regularly. In ...read more

    God even sends Jesus-Christ to us him not a hundred angels... not the best of the pastors, but Jesus himself! An eternal consolation - not for a moment or a moment as a consolation which would come from the "world" in the tests.

    LE CHRIST QUI CONSOLE Lecture : 2 Thess 2/16-17. « Que notre Seigneur Jésus-Christ lui-même, et Dieu notre Père, qui nous a aimés, et qui nous a donné par sa grâce une consolation éternelle et une bonne espérance, consolent vos cœurs, et vous affermissent en toute bonne oeuvre et en toute bonne ...read more
