    How Christians Are To Serve Others

    Contributed by Craig Condon on May 29, 2015
     | 11,151 views

    We need to redirect our culture away from ourselves to the needs of others and the glory of God. Culture must not be used merely for self-interest.

    The readings we heard from Deuteronomy 15:1-11 and Acts 4:32-37 this evening talk about how the Christian community is supposed to act. The events in the reading from Acts take place immediately after the coming of the Holy Spirit. The people had an uncommon experience of the life and death of ...read more

    Can A Christian Use Marijuana?

    Contributed by Scott Coltrain on Aug 28, 2015
     | 5,929 views

    With the legalization of the recreational use of marijuana, the Christian must evaluate if using pot is an acceptable practice or a sin.

    In those States where the use and sell of Marijuana is illegal, the answer is straightforward. The Christian must abide by the laws of secular government (Romans 13:1-2, 5) which means that the use and sell of Marijuana is clearly prohibited. As our Nation moves closer to the legalization of ...read more

    The Trial Of Our Christian Faith

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Sep 10, 2015
    based on 2 ratings
     | 4,442 views

    When we talk to the genuinely curious, we show God’s love. We show that we want to be with God and want others to be with him. We will love the things and people that he loves. We will hate the things and people that he hates. We will love others.

    The reading we heard from John 5:30-47 a few minutes ago takes place during a “trial”, but it was not held in a courtroom. Jesus had just healed the paralyzed man at the pool of Bethsaida, and the healing took place on the Jewish Sabbath. The Jews had strict rules about what could and ...read more

    4 Steps To Be A Hygienic Christian

     | 9,263 views

    Paul talks about having "sound" doctrine or faith (1 Tim. 1:10, Tit. 1:13,2:2, etc). The word "sound" in Greek is "hygienic" and means to be healthy. We discuss the 4 steps to being a hygienic Christian.

    4 STEPS TO BE A HYGIENIC CHRISTIAN Ps. 119:97-100 INTRODUCTION A. ALL YOU CAN EAT PLACES 1. I think that one of the wisest decisions ever made in the food industry was the idea of the “All You Can Eat Buffet.” Many restaurants only offer this option and it has proven to be very ...read more

     | 6,534 views

    Are Christians bound by the Law of Moses? As a result of misinterpretations of God's word, unsubstantiated allegations AND misperceptions that arise from misguided Biblical teachings, the church is MORE divided today than EVER.

    “For it seemed good to the HOLY SPIRIT, AND to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things: that you ABSTAIN from things offered to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality. If you keep yourselves from these, you will do well. Farewell.” ...read more

    Jesus tells us that all of us are members of the Body of Christ, also known as the church. We don’t come to church as individual people and then leave. Jesus tells us that we are to be a team of people who work together for Him.

    Good morning boys and girls! How many of you like to do things for yourselves, such as tying your shoe laces or getting dressed or brushing your teeth?
