    What Keeps A Church From Growing?

    Contributed by Bob Briggs on Dec 12, 2000
    based on 65 ratings
     | 7,263 views

    Often we want to see church growth, but have we looked to see what we need to do to sustain growth?

    I have asked myself the question over the past two years, what is it that has kept the churches from having sustained growth, what has kept them from keeping pastors for any length of time, what is it that has such a vise over Northeastern Washington preventing the excitement and revival other ...read more

    1st in a series on Christian Growth

    Almost every image used in the New Testament to describe the Christian life suggests growth and development. • We are to "pursue righteousness" (1 Tim. 6:11). • We are challenged to "be transformed by the renewing of your mind" (Rom. 12:2). • We are to "press on toward the goal" (Phil. 3:14). • ...read more

    One More Year

     | 5,290 views

    How long have you been coming to church? Can you measure your spiritual growth in years? Has Gods Holy Spirit so convicted your life that you can measure the changes in your spiritual growth?

    One More Year Luke 13:1-9 Hear we are at that awkward in-between place where Christmas is past and the New Year lays ahead of us. Many of us still have a lot of visiting to do and plans to make as we celebrate the holidays. We all get this middle ground that falls between our two big ...read more

    Fire Upon Thine Altar

    Contributed by Maurice Mccarthy on Aug 14, 2002
    based on 157 ratings
     | 33,133 views

    This text separates those who are spiritually pretense from those who are spiritually intense. It is like the question the demon’s asked of the seven sons of Sceva, “Paul, we know, Jesus we know, but who are you?”

    Fire Upon Thine Altar Leviticus 6:13 The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar; it shall never go out. The bible tells us that ... “the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, ...read more

    Telling Your Story - Contagious Christianity Series

    based on 128 ratings
     | 26,799 views

    The unsaved are really looking for something that can work in your life. How can you convince others that Jesus has made a difference in yours?

    OPEN: They tell me that being a “preacher’s kid” can be difficult for a young child. I read once of a preacher’s little boy who was told by his mother that he should wash his hands because there were germs living in all the dirt he’d been playing in. He looked up at his mother and got this really ...read more

    Peter And Cornelius: From Pronouncements To People

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 14, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,235 views

    Prejudice deals only with groups, not with persons. Peter had to get beyond outworn principles, and both he and Cornelius had to learn to give and receive what was needed. All need Christ.

    If you have to choose between principles and people, choose people! Do you agree? If it comes down to deciding whether to adhere to certain principles and thereby injure people; if it comes down to violating your beliefs or violating another person, what will you choose? The principle or the ...read more

    Want a formula for a happy life?

    1 I will bless the LORD at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth. 2 My soul makes its boast in the LORD; let the humble hear and be glad. 3 O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together. 4 I sought the LORD, and he answered me, and ...read more

    As part of our ongoing study in the book of John, we will spend the next several messages examining some of the claims of Christ. In each of these messages we will see different ways that Jesus claims to be God. Today we will see Christ’s claim that He

    This morning, we’re looking at Jesus’ second claim to being equal with God. Back in verses 17-18, we have already seen that Jesus claimed to be God in person. In our passage this morning we’re going to see that Jesus claims to be God in works. In other words, Jesus claims to be equal with God ...read more

    Do you ever get frustrated? Do you ever look around at the things that go on at work and get frustrated? Or maybe things at school?

    I think I was as shocked as everybody on Friday. I was studying in my office at home when I got an email about our president winning the Nobel Peace Prize. I thought it was a joke until I checked several news sources and found out it’s true. Now, you know how I feel about politics. As ...read more

    How would you feel if you were clothes shopping at the mall one day and somebody came up to you and said that your shopping trip was on them?

    “It’s just not fair!” You’ve heard that before, haven’t you? I can guarantee you that if you’re a parent, you’ve heard that. “All the other kids get to go. Why can’t I go?” And then, being the reasonable person that you are, you give them a logical, well-reasoned defense of your position. You ...read more

    based on 10 ratings
     | 15,010 views

    Who is Jesus to you? Is He just a moral teacher? Is He just a storybook character? Throughout John chapter 5, Jesus claimed to be God. And in today’s passage, He brings four witnesses to the stand to corroborate His testimony.

    How many of you have ever served on a jury before? I haven’t. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do, but never have been able to. I’ve been summoned before—several times. We lived in Denver, CO when I joined the Air Force. And almost all of my time in the Air Force, I kept my state residency ...read more

    Every struggle in your life was tailor made to fit you and shape your life. Every struggle in your life God uses to make you better, not to make you bitter.

    Intro: As Christians we must clearly understand that the happenings in our lives were tailored just for us. Your difficulties are not to make you bitter but to make you better. God created us with a plan in mind, and again the plan wasn't to make you depressed, or miserable, the plan is to make you ...read more
