    In this Christmas season sermon series, I used clips from the Christmas classic and remake of Miracle on 34th Street to illustrate the points of the messages. The credit goes to Pastor Greg Fine

    Question: Just exactly who is this baby lying in the manger? John 1:1-5, 9-14 1. Astonishing Claims: Could Jesus be who He claims to be? Luke 2:11 "Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord." (NIV) The Claims of Jesus: Bread of Life Living ...read more

    Imprisoned and facing death, the aged warrior for Christ, the apostle Paul, presents his final instructions and counsel to the young pastor from Ephesus, his "son in the faith", Timothy.

    This second letter to Timothy is considered to be the last writing of the apostle Paul, composed around 67 A.D., from the confinement of Rome's infamous Mamertine Prison. He had been placed under arrest for the preaching of the Gospel and no doubt accused of insurrection for preaching that ...read more

    Authentic faith produces good things. This message is the first in a series on 1 & 2 Thessalonians. Thanks to Pastor Derrick Tuper for his thoughts that contributed to this message (see notation in text)

    Paul couldn’t stand it any longer. He had to know how the church in Thessalonica was doing. After all, he had poured himself into that congregation and sacrificed deeply to teach its members the gospel. But now Satan was attacking it with persecution, doubt, and trial. Were the believers ...read more

    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

    We all have moments and seasons of uncertainty. Jesus will walk us through if we stick with him. I modified this sermon from the notes of my friend Pastor Paul Rivero.

    Uncertainty I. TEXT: Luke 8:40-56 (NKJV) "So it was, when Jesus returned, that the multitude welcomed Him, for they were all waiting for Him. 41 And behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue.

    And I can tell you that in 2020, that question “what am I to do” keeps popping up for me. It is a recurring question in my life as Pastor of Bala Chitto Baptist Church.

    INTRODUCTION If you are like me, you probably have asked yourself the question, “WHAT AM I TO DO?” many times over the span of your lifetime. You know those times when that question comes to your mind. Times when you find yourself in a situation where you are over your head, you don’t know which ...read more

     | 9,284 views

    Decades ago, most Christian pastors, teachers, and counselors in effect tore-out of their Bibles the portion of Titus 2:5 which enjoins that women (especially younger women) are to be “keepers at home.”

    For over a half-century, we have witnessed our society depart from God's will in regard to the differing roles and responsibilities that individuals are to play based upon their gender. Feminism, more than any other ungodly philosophy, has motivated American and European societies to reject the ...read more

    God's Blueprint For The Church

    Contributed by Steve Hereford on Jun 29, 2007

     | 5,425 views

    What is the church to do? If you ask modern church growth experts they would say we are to become more appealing to reach the lost. But what does the Bible say we are to do? Join Pastor Steve as he shares "God’s Blueprint for the Church."

    John MacDuff said, "The gods of the unregenerate soul are the world, self, and sin" (Grace Gems). He’s right! But in the seeker-sensitive church those three words have been ignored. We are told that the church today needs to be "light on doctrine" (quoted in an article on the Seeker-Sensitive ...read more

    “You may decide to call yourself a pastor or an apostle or an evangelist, but in the book of God, which is the only book that matters, He writes that you are a messenger.” It is not what you call yourself that matters; it is what God calls you.

    THE SCALE OF THE ALMIGHTY Dr. D. K. Olukoya It is one thing to call yourself something; it is another thing for God to call you something. One of our elders in the Lord said, “You may decide to call yourself a pastor or an apostle or an evangelist, but in the book of God, which is the only book ...read more
