    Challenging Our Religion Series

    Contributed by David Henderson on Jan 5, 2011
     | 8,646 views

    So Jesus came to challenge and to change the way people think. And as He continued to challenge religion His ministry led Him to a variety of places. We see two of them today.

    “Challenging our Religion” Matthew 12:1-14 Eventually the ministry of Jesus was sure to cause great controversy. After all, Jesus challenged all of the religious leaders of the day. The Pharisees, the Saducees, anyone who was teaching tradition over truth. Jesus was never ...read more

    The Servant's Response!

     | 4,949 views

    As Christians in the radically self promoting age we need to remind ourselves that we are not lords over God's heritage but His servants, and servants to our brethren in our ministry to glorify Christ.

    "If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of ...read more

    Our Call To Worship

     | 23,345 views

    The beginning of the Church year (Fall) and all of its activities calls for a renewal of commitment and repentance to do the Lord’s work. This Psalm is a call to worship and a call to battle for the church and its ministries.

    OUR CALL TO WORSHIP Last week as I was walking my dog a verse came to my mind: “The earth is the LORD’s and everything in it…” I had not memorized this phrase, nor do I recall a song that would grab me the way this phrase did. I shrugged it off and continued the canine ritual. A few days ago I ...read more

    Each one reconciled by Christ is to be involved in reconciling the world to God. But not all those in the church are. They have missed their ministry. According to our text, they have received the grace of God in vain.

    2 CORINTHIANS [5:17-] 6: 1-2 [GAINING PERSPECTIVE Series] THAT THE GRACE OF GOD BE NOT IN VAIN [Luke 16:1-13] The first two verses in the sixth chapter carry on the instruction from chapter 5 concerning our calling and task as ambassadors.

    Every one called to minister the word of God must first of all take heed unto himself. It is when your life is according to the will of God that your ministry can be approved of God.

    As a church leader, your behavior often determines the growth of believers and whether or not the church has a dynamic ministry for Christ. THIS is what the letter of 3 John is all about, leadership within the church.

    As we continue our studies in the writings of the Apostle John, we begin to look into the book of 3 John. My plan is to spend just two studies in this book. It is believed that John the Apostle wrote this book or letter around 85-95 AD. It was written to a man named Gaius in order to warn ...read more

    During the earthly ministry of Jesus, there were two, maybe three activities He considered vital to the walk of a believer in Christ. Not essential for salvation, yet essential in a growing relationship with Jesus Himself.
