    Persecution - Are You Ready For It?

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jan 9, 2021
     | 2,999 views

    We in America do not have any real experience with religious persecution like we find in other countries. However, over the past decades we have seen reverence for the name of Jesus become mockery. What will we do when proclaiming Jesus becomes outlawed?

    Persecution - Are You Ready For It? Please stand with me as we go over our current memory Scripture: Psalm 1:1-2 “Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. But his delight is in the Law of the LORD, and on His ...read more

    We, like those pilgrim forefathers of the Church in America and the Early Church, are called to be fools for Christ!

    The Pilgrim’s Path Part-8, Mathew 5:1-12 The Persecuted Introduction One hundred Puritans sail across the ocean on the “Mayflower” and in New England find a home where they can serve God according to the dictates of their conscience. Persecution in England being continued, men cross the Atlantic ...read more

    SUPER BOWL SUNDAY: VICTORY CELEBRATIONS FOR CHRISTIANS (*Note - this is outdated, but is the kind of information you can find in the current year and makes for interesting start to the sermon.)

    Persecution the acid test of our faith. Persecuted for righteousness not for anything else.

    Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness sake for they shall be called the children of God - Matt. 5:10 -12 It may seem strange that Jesus passes so quickly from peacemaking in the previous beatitude to persecution—from the work of reconciliation to the experience of hostility. But ...read more

    We should pray for those around the world who are persecuted for their faith.

    "I Saw The Tears of The Oppressed..." Ecclesiastes 4:1 When we woke up this morning we made a decision that we were going to go to church. Our decision was based upon ruling out the other options that presented themselves to us. Some of us struggled with whether or not to sleep in since it has ...read more

    When Persecution Comes Calling

    Contributed by Gordon Brownlee on May 13, 2024
     | 503 views

    The Church has been missing a valuable tool in fighting oppression. The authority of Christ remains on our lips.

    For anyone that has been following the news there are a growing number of stories that speak of the persecution of Christians. For many, such articles seem surreal, they remain so far removed from our current peaceful existence that we find no reason to try and relate, let alone guard ourselves ...read more

    Matthew 5 - Part 9 - Ever Been Criticised And Abused For Being A Christian? Series

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Dec 29, 2009
    based on 12 ratings
     | 4,465 views

    Unfortunately for many Christians, compromise is easier than being criticised and no-one would ever know that they are Christians, or if they do know, they are disappointed by the kind of example that is given.

    Matthew 5 - Part 8 - Have you ever been criticised and abused for being a Christian? One of my jobs some years ago was working with disabled people. I remember working with a young Christian woman and my job was teaching her how to read. She would readily share her faith to others and I enjoyed ...read more

    Christian service requires stamina to stay the course despite opposition.

    “You, however, have followed my teaching, my conduct, my aim in life, my faith, my patience, my love, my steadfastness, my persecutions and sufferings that happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, and at Lystra—which persecutions I endured; yet from them all the Lord rescued me. Indeed, all who ...read more

    Understanding persecution and why, as Christians, we will be persecuted and how to handle it.

    A. 1 PETER 4:12-19 “Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad ...read more

    What Is A Real Christian?

    With cultural Christianity being the norm in America, nominal faith is what people see most often, and it’s what comes to mind when we tell people we’re a Christian. So, what is a "real" Christian? This message points out five traits.

    I wish to begin our message this morning by sharing a story by Franklin Graham. He tells us, “Some years ago, I was in a cab when I asked the driver about his faith. He replied that he was a Christian, and I asked him how he became one. I’ll never forget his reply: ‘Oh, I was born a Christian’.” ...read more

    Is your light under a bushel?

    We are in a time when nearly every day the headlines talk about someone coming out of the closet about their sexual identity or about some skeleton coming out of the closet. Things that were hidden for years are open for all to see and hear. Some of those things should have stayed hidden. People ...read more

    In an ever-increasing anti=Christian culture, how are American Christians to respond?

    We live in a scary time. During my lifetime, I remember a time when our country was what I would call, “Christianized.” In witnessing, you could start with statements like, “You believe the Bible, don’t you?” or “Where’s your church membership?” ...read more

    Spiritual Stedfastness (Sermon On Christian Growth)

    Today I will be preaching from the Book of James about Christian growth.

    We will be dealing with the CHRISTIAN AND HIS STEADFASTNESS. Look at verses 7-8. We read, “Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain. Be ...read more
