    The Marks Of Maturity

    Contributed by Nigel Heath on Mar 4, 2016
     | 7,011 views

    Only when we can say, 'For me to live is Christ' can we truly say, 'to die is gain'. Spiritual maturity is the outcome of a life truly surrendered to Jesus Christ as Lord.

    INTRO Away back in the 1980’s when I began ministry at Abbeyhill Baptist Church a fellow Minister in the City was faced with a problem.

    Jesus' Final Words (Part 1)

    Contributed by Henry Trocino Jr. on Mar 26, 2017
     | 15,344 views

    This sermon expounds the first three of the last sayings of Jesus on the cross. The method is exegetical and expository, drawing out the authorial intent and context of the words of Luke, Matthew, and John.

    Every year, most Christian churches in the Philippines hold the “Siete Palabras,” or “Seven Sayings” services, stressing the last seven words of Jesus on the cross. I remember every Good Friday back in the 70s, Fellowship Baptist Church of Bacolod would hold a special Seven Sayings service at 2-4 ...read more

    The Stairway To Happiness

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 8, 2022
     | 2,751 views

    There should be no doubt in anyone’s mind that God loves us and wants to bless us. The Book of Psalms is all about how this wonderful God that loves us wants to bless us.

    God does not wait until chapter two before He tells us how we can receive a blessing. He starts off in chapter one, verse one. The word translated, “Blessed,” is from the Hebrew word, “aishair” which simply means: “HAPPINESS.” Many people have different ideas on how to find happiness in this ...read more

    Does the penalty need to be paid twice? We begin to look at the fact that the Church does not enter the Tribulation; look at the facts and evidence that it does not happen. We have been delivered from wrath that is coming.

    THE CHURCH DOES NOT ENTER THE TRIBULATION – REASONS THAT PROVE IT – PART 1 OF 3 INTRODUCTION I find it reprehensible, the claim that the Church, and Christians of course, will enter the Tribulation. Why do I find it reprehensible? If you think Christians must enter into the Tribulation, even ...read more

    Have you ever wondered why some organizations seem to languish in mediocrity? In the early days of the church, the apostles learned how to delegate responsibilities so they were not sidetracked from their major ministries.

    based on 54 ratings
     | 3,931 views

    Sermon emphasizes that the claims of Jesus are clear, but people feign ignorance because they want to be ignorant. Having identified Jesus as the Christ--Savior--the question of who we are is explored. Who are we without Christ? Who are we with Christ?

    WHO IS CHRIST AND WHO ARE YOU? Scripture Reading: John 10:22-30 Jesus is the Christ--the Savior of our souls. We are the saved ones--safe only with God. Several questions arise from this assertion. Why do people not accept Jesus for who he is? Who are we apart from God? Who are we with God? ...read more
