    It Adds Up Series

     | 14,201 views

    One of the problems in too many churches is the issue of "Whose church is this?" The answer to that question is summed up in this simple phrase: "The Lord Adds to His Church." What can that mean to us and how can it change how the church functions?

    OPEN: How many people were baptized into Christ at Pentecost? (about 3000 souls) That story in Acts has inspired many churches, evangelists, missionaries and 1000s of others to attempt to reach as many as they can to bring more and more people to Christ. One such church was one from New Jersey ...read more

    "Little" Israel Vs "Monster" Global Terrorism???

    Contributed by Suresh Manoharan on Nov 28, 2015
     | 2,757 views

    Rather than focusing on "Little" Israel's effective, pro-active methods in neutralizing the terror threat in it's land, this message dwells on the theme of it being a "source" (John 4:22) of a greater victory over a far more dangerous problem...SIN!!!

     | 4,582 views

    Life is not made up of special days. It may have some extraordinary days sprinkled throughout the year but life is filled with ordinary days. The problem is that we can begin to live for the special days when the real issue in life is staying faithful and

    A Song for Ordinary Days Luke 1:39-56 As we approach Christmas, how many of you can remember the days of your childhood when you began looking forward to Christmas, weeks if not months ahead?

    Waiting On The Spirit

    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,096 views

    Think about how comical this must appear from the Lord’s perspective. The apostles (led by Peter) decide the 12th position is empty and therefore it needs to be filled (appropriately reasoned). The only problem is - it is they who chose the two men; cast

    Waiting on the Spirit Acts 1:23-26 So they proposed two men: Joseph called Barsabbas (also known as Justus) and Matthias. Then they prayed, "Lord, you know everyone’s heart.

    Staying Clam In A Storm Of Heresy Series

    Contributed by Jack Perkins, D.min., Ladc, Csac, Cclc on Jul 29, 2021
     | 2,759 views

    A major concern for John is heresy within the church and the manner it is causing problems and robbing believers of their joy. John uses antichrist in reference to those who perhaps start with seemingly sincere faith; yet, their teaching becomes contrary to Christ and abiding in him.

    There is a universal theme that runs through the book of 1 John, abiding in Christ. This is the key to “living in the world but not of the world. When we refuse to live in the world, we fail to serve Christ. Joe McKeever wrote the following. In the 1987 meeting of the Southern Baptist ...read more

    A man in South Carolina had some car problems, so he took his car to a local automobile garage to get his car repaired. The man went to pay for the repairs and pick his car up after being repaired.

    As he was driving home, his car was doing the same thing as before he took it to the mechanic. He took it back to the mechanic the second time and once again he was told his car was repaired, but again, on the way home he discovered his car was still doing the same thing. To make a long story ...read more

     | 1,779 views

    How do we deal with others in reprimand? How do we deal with serious problems in the church and in Christian lives? It is difficult. In this message Paul had to reprimand Peter publicly because Peter failed in the very matter Paul was fighting against.

    THE BOOK OF GALATIANS – CHAPTER 2:11-21 - MESSAGE 5 – PAUL REPRIMANDS THE APOSTLE PETER PUBLICLY We are continuing the series in Galatians, following the letter that deeply impressed Paul’s heart because the gospel he preached was being mangled.

    There is a saying that goes - “Those who leave everything in God’s hand will eventually see God’s hand in everything”. That is a very powerful and true statement the problem comes because we often fail to leave things in God’s hand.

    Anger is a part of human emotions. Some anger is necessary for making things better, like what Jesus did. Anger becomes a problem when we have trouble controlling it, causing us to say or do things we regret.

    Lesson #18 [id3a] The Rebuke For Immaturity Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Oct 20, 2020
     | 3,141 views

    The writer is about to begin his explanation of the heavenly priesthood of Christ, but he is not sure that his readers are ready for what he must teach. The problem is not that he is a dull teacher, but they are dull listeners! The word translated “dull” in Hebrews is also translated “slothful.”

    Presumption says God’s timing or His knowledge is insufficient and I’ve got to do something to fix the problem. But there is another form of pride… DESPAIR. Despair says waiting on God is a fool’s wait. God will not fulfill His promises.
