    Is He The Christ? Series

    Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Oct 13, 2008
    based on 28 ratings
     | 9,188 views

    If Jesus’ authority to not only interpret the Sabbath but also to work on the Sabbath indeed comes from God, then Jesus is making a messianic claim. This claim opens the way to questions concerning His origins—divine origins. Is He the Christ?

    JOHN 7: 25-36 IS HE THE CHRIST? The force of Jesus’ argument with the authorities seems to impress many in the audience who are either residents of the city or pilgrims in Jerusalem for the Feast of Tabernacles. Thus a shift in subject springs from Jesus’ last answer. If Jesus’ authority to ...read more

     | 8,136 views

    Should we allow culture dictate how we interpret God's Word? While most Christians would resoundingly say NO, culture often dictates what and how we read the Bible.

    God’s Word is Truth! Psalms 119:1-8 Online Sermon: http://www.mckeesfamily.com/?page_id=3567 Blessed are those who believe so strongly in God’s word being true that they are not only willing to meditate day and night on His statues but are also willing to become living sacrifices by walking ...read more

    Codebreaker Series

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Feb 8, 2017
     | 5,922 views

    The bible is difficult to interpret at times. it’s a codebook, which if used well, can help us decipher the enigmas of life, fight the right battles, know the real enemy and bring us peace with God.

    CODEBREAKER I found it fascinating when I discovered he was a Codebreaker in the war. He looked somehow smaller now and curled up. I prayed for him, sang to him as light filtered through the window onto his old wrinkled brow. The movie “The Imitation Game” talked about Codebreaking in ...read more

    True Love Series

    Valentine's Day: Human beings have distorted the meaning of love. Some of the distortions about love are that love is purely physical, or that love is only a temporary state. These interpretations about love are way off base.

    The Greek writer Lucian who lived from 120-200 A.D. made an observation about Christians. He said, “It is incredible to see the fervor with which the people of that religion help each other in their wants. They spare nothing. Their first [leader, Jesus], has put it into their heads that they are ...read more

    Have You Confirmed Your Reservation In Heaven? Series

    Contributed by David Dykes on Sep 5, 2013

     | 30,762 views

    Jesus is preparing a place for us. But don’t imagine a private room with walls and a door you can lock. There will be no need for locks in Heaven. Think about sharing a big house with all the other Heavenly Family members—more like a bed and breakfast.

    INTRODUCTION In a cemetery in Indiana there’s a tombstone that has an epitaph with the intent to make people prepare for death. It says, “Consider, friend, as you pass by. As you are now, so once was I. As I am now, you soon shall be. So prepare, my friend, to follow me.” Someone ...read more

     | 12,296 views

    David simply a man who believes God for the impossible. He faces giants like everyone of us does everyday. But David trusted God with the impossible and faith brought out the best out of him. Attributes in private now became public. We are giant killers.

    The Bible is the inspired word of God.

    Introduction: One of the questions that I hear people ask a lot is, “How is the Church of Christ different from this group or that group? What makes you distinctive?” I won’t go into a full and complete answer of that question this morning, but one of the things that makes us who we are is our ...read more

     | 4,665 views

    Jesus earthly ministry shifted into a different realm when he went past meeting the needs of the flesh to forgiving the sins of men. Suddenly he wasn’t just another Rabbi, because only God could forgive sins.

    The True Purpose of Ministry By Pastor Jim May Jesus was just beginning his earthly ministry. To recap what has been happening in the first chapter of Mark, He had walked along the seashore and called Simon Peter and Andrew, his brother, as they were casting their nets into the sea and they cast ...read more

    The Use Of Spiritual Gifts, Focusing On Tongues

    Contributed by James Wallace on Jun 6, 2022
     | 1,503 views

    The practice of the gift of tongues is very controversial in evangelical circles. I Corinthians 12-14 was intended to save us from much of this controversy.

    May 27, 2022 Hi Abby, Here are my concerns about some forms of practice among those who call themselves Charismatic, or especially Pentecostal. I might be called Charismatic by some, because I believe that “sign gifts” such as prophecy, tongues, healings, knowledge, miracles, etc. are ...read more

    When Church Lets Out

    Contributed by Ronald Fair on Mar 7, 2001
    based on 50 ratings
     | 2,891 views

    Rev. Fair speaks of how God has a line in our hearts. How timely are His messages to use message of love, of encouragement, of assurance, of promise, of direction, and of power. Ours should be a private line and his calls should take precedence over all other calls.

    WHEN CHURCH LETS OUT Scripture: John 15:1-16 I. Thess.1:4-5 Philips - “We know that God not only loves you but has selected you for a specific purpose. For we remember how our Gospel came to you, not as mere words, but as a message with power behind. The effectual power in fact of the ...read more

    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.
