    With the Twin Tower tragedy came our loss of peace and safety.

    IS IT TOO LATE TO REMEMBER? By JERRY FALWELL As I think about the Twin Tower tragedy and our loss of peace and safety, I thought about Adam and Eve losing the peace and safety of the Garden. Then I began to put together some comparisons why Adam and Eve lost their peace and safety, and why we may ...read more

    WHEN TRAGEDY STRIKES, DO WE BLAME GOD OR SATAN?

    BLAME - LESS JOHN 9:3 “Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the work of God might be displayed in his life.” Man is quick at making judgments. Whatever befalls a Christian, usually has a purpose but not every circumstance is as a result of sin . In ...read more

    A message addressing the hope that we possess in the midst of trouble and tragedy.

    HOPE FOR YOUR JOURNEY Exodus 3:1-12 There are times in life when we are tired, weary, frustrated and discouraged. We endure times of sickness, loss, strife and turmoil. At times it seems that we have no hope. If we are honest, there are even times when it seems that God is a million miles ...read more

    In tragedy we need a word from the "Great I AM"

    The Sunday after Columbine I began my sermon with the question: “WHY?” Today I want to respond to Tuesday’s tragedy with “What now?” One of the things that I want to affirm today:  God was not ringing his hands over what happened on Tuesday.  He was not at a loss for words like ...read more

    Provoking Thoughts From (3 John)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 10, 2022
     | 2,400 views

    Again, I want to bring to your attention the fact that second and third John are very small books,

    but to say they were insignificant would be like saying a person who is short is not significant. We know that size does not have anything to do with significance. However, there is a contrast between second and third John. For example, Remember, we mentioned in the previous message that some ...read more

    Going back I. Begins in tears II. And ends in tragedy.

    GOING BACK NUMBERS 14:1-4 Throughout our lifetimes we hear of and see many times with our own eyes and ears our brothers and sisters stepping off their paths of righteousness and going back to the cares and concerns of the world. Preacher after preacher quitting the ministry and going back into ...read more

    We The People, Breaking Bondages Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jun 15, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,572 views

    God does not want merely personal religion; He desires our investment in breaking the bondages that imprison others. America post-Vietnam is strikingly similar to Judah post-Exile. Neither can afford to retreat into comfortable religion.

    A great nation had been humiliated by something they had never supposed could happen. Because they saw themselves as the people of God, chosen by him for a special role in the world's history, they had imagined themselves invulnerable. God would never desert his people, they believed. God would not ...read more

    Ignorance Is Bliss -- Not!

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jun 14, 2009

     | 7,032 views

    First Baptist Church of Gaithersburg, MD: We avoid too much information because we know we will have to respond. Some escape into private piety; some escape from knowing themselves. But true bliss comes from knowing how to invest in Kingdom concerns.

    You can buy it anywhere in Pennsylvania Dutch country – a banner, an apron, a towel, anything really – and it proclaims, in pidgin German, “Ve get too soon oldt und too late schmart”. Your preacher this morning is a walking example of that ancient truth. Too soon oldt und too late schmart. The ...read more

    God has a view of what he expects his children to be. In His view they are a family of priest sent to represent Him in the world.

    You and Me in the world Last week we talked about vision…We tried to see vision via God’s eyes….Which I believe is not limited by the walls of a building or a membership. A church that does not have a vision that extends past the walls or the church property is held back by man made limits and ...read more

    Automatic Door Openers

     | 6,310 views

    For deacon ordination: God has provided the wide door through which all may come, but also the narrow gate that calls for discipline and setting boundaries.

    We seem to be fast coming to the place where we will scarcely have to deal with people at all. We can just deal with computer-driven machines to get what we want. I frankly cannot remember when I have dealt with a bank teller. I just roll up to an Automatic Teller Machine, punch in a few numbers, ...read more

    Spiritual Gifts Unmystified Series

    Contributed by Tim White on Dec 5, 2011
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,531 views

    Spiritual gifts are demonstrated when God chooses to supernaturally use someone outside of their personality type.

    (Gotquestions.org) When people speak of spiritual gifts, the focus is often on questions like, “Do you know what your spiritual gift is?” or “Have you taken this spiritual gifts survey?” While the knowledge of one's gifting can be beneficial, we often lose sight of God's ...read more

    Proclaiming Christ Crucified Series

    Contributed by Freddy Fritz on Feb 5, 2011
    based on 6 ratings
     | 9,477 views

    In today's lesson we are urged not to present the gospel according to the world's wisdom. Instead of relying on logic and rhetoric, we should focus our attention on the central message of the Person and Work of Jesus Christ.

    Scripture Today we continue studying The First Letter of Paul to the Corinthians in a series I am calling Challenges Christians Face. Christians in the church at Corinth had misunderstood the nature of wisdom with regard to salvation. From Paul’s perspective human wisdom opposes God’s ...read more
