    Flying United Series

    Contributed by Blake Inscore on Sep 1, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,649 views

    I think we all realize that we are “supposed” to love another, and that we “should” be united, but what we are “supposed” to do or “should” do are not the same things as what we actually do.

    Introduction: Today we are beginning a series of messages on the importance of love and unity in the Church. The catch phrase which we put out on the marquee this week is: We Fly United and We Love It! We are going to use similar themes each week to challenge us as a church to examine our ...read more

    Contributed by Thomas Clawser on Mar 12, 2017
     | 8,726 views

    The scandal of grace forces Nick to look for abundant life outside himself rather than within. Jesus challenges him to think outside the box; to allow God to regenerate him by his power.

    During a British conference on comparative religions, experts from around the world debated what belief, if any, was unique to the Christian faith. They began eliminating possibilities. Incarnation? Other religions had different versions of gods appearing in human form. Resurrection? Again, ...read more

    Part 1 of 10 in a series dedicated to debunking commonly held myths that we think are in the Bible but really aren't, myths that can and often do have devastating effects on our faith.

    INTRODUCTION: Over the past several years one of my favorite television shows has been “mythbusters” on the discovery channel. The show uses elements of the scientific method to test the validity of rumors, myths, movie scenes, adages, internet videos, and news stories. And why do I ...read more

    Part 7 of 10 in a series dedicated to debunking commonly held myths that we think are in the Bible but really aren't, myths that can and often do have devastating effects on our faith.

    INTRODUCTION: I’m pretty much convinced that it could go without saying that each and every one of us wants to make right choices, we want to do the right things, and we desire positive outcomes in all decisions that we make, and as believers we ultimately want to glorify God in the ...read more

    How helpless is man though he holds position, power, wealth and fame! Not knowing what is lying ahead, all he has are a loan from his creator God- leaving everything here on this side of the eternity when he departs this world.

    Live today! Never miss today’s blessings. God is a God of present tense. He calls Himself “ I am that I am”. Many of us dream of a better future when we can enjoy the life comfortably without the struggles we have now. It is only a human hope, with no sound base (Proverbs 19:21) . None of us know ...read more

    Actually, there are many who think that there isn't any such being as Satan - that he is a product of our imagination, sort of like Santa Claus, only evil.

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK (REVISED: 2016) TEXT: Ezekiel 28:14-17; Isaiah 14:12-14 A. This morning I'm starting a short series of sermons about Satan & Satanism, & it is proving to be a difficult series to prepare. The reason it is ...read more

    There are christians who are enticed to sleep with the enemy. It has damaged alot of God’s children and got them into thinking everything and anything is o.k. with God. But is it?

    This a sermon given to a group of mainly over 60’s, challenging us to think about Stephen. In particular the way he copied Jesus by praying for his persecutors.

    Acts 6: 7-15 At the time of Jesus there was a group of very faithful worshippers. This group of faithful worshippers were utterly dedicated to preserving the ways of God in their community. They loved their Bible (our Old Testament) and they were very vocal in their defence of the faith which had ...read more
