    Baptism and the Lord’s Supper. These are not mere traditions, or symbols to be ignored, they are divine acts of obedience and remembrance that shape our lives as followers of Christ.

    Living in Obedience: Baptism and the Lord’s Supper Introduction Today, we are going to explore two sacred practices—the ordinances that our Lord Jesus Christ Himself commanded His Church to observe: believer’s baptism and the Lord’s Supper.

     | 2,563 views

    Church leaders are to have an 1) Unblemished public reputation (Titus 1:6a) and must qualify in the specific areas of: 2) Sexual morality (Titus 1:6b), 3) Family leadership (Titus1:6c), and finally 4) General character (Titus 1:7–9).

    For the greater part of this century, evangelical Christianity has been deeply committed to the battle for doctrinal purity. But in many circles in recent years it has not been as committed to moral purity, even among its leaders. Inevitably the church has experienced erosion of its integrity and ...read more

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Nov 22, 2024
     | 1,379 views

    Most people who are enslaved know they are slaves. The girl who is abducted and taken into the worldwide human trafficking ring knows she’s a slave. You don’t have to tell her this. But there is a kind of slavery where people don’t fully realize they are enslaved.

    Today, I want to speak to you about “4 Controversial Uncompromising Life-Changing Truths” from the lips of Jesus Himself. These 4 truths are unpopular for many. They are likely to start a good argument at the Thanksgiving dinner table. Many of these, if not all of these, run against the current ...read more

    Three key words will provide the basic structure or format of this message: Agreement, Benefits, and Caution. These will help us remember, and may well serve us as the A-B-C's of Confession.

    THE DISCIPLINE OF CONFESSION "He who conceals his sins (the rebellion of his heart against God) will not prosper (advance or flourish) but whoever confesses (openly and willingly owns up to) and forsakes (leaves behind, deserts, and ceases from doing) them will have mercy (the loving, tender ...read more

    based on 58 ratings
     | 12,854 views

    We must confess with our voices that we have what we are believing for. This is a public acknowledgement of our faith, and lets everyone know what we are believing and where we stand. We must make sure that what we say matches what we are believing for.

    Confessions: public validations of your faith or public rejections of your faith *A word spoken is as an arrow let fly! *Prov 25:11 “Like apples of gold in settings of silver Is a word spoken in right circumstances” I.

    based on 13 ratings
     | 5,014 views

    The trouble wit hlaw keeping is that we’re unable to do it. The good thing about the law is that it drives us back to dependence on the grace of God in Jesu Christ

    Here’s what happens to people from time to time. They realise they have a problem with a particular sin or sins, so they decide to do something about it. They read something like Romans 6, that we read last week and they decide that from now on they’ll be slaves of righteousness. Whenever they feel ...read more

    Listening For Leadership Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Nov 6, 2003
    based on 14 ratings
     | 6,848 views

    Our view of leadership is that it is aggressive, know-it-all. But in reality it is bearing witness to God’s power, not our own; and leaders are qualified to be leaders by what they do NOT know.

    Do you know the story of the woman who liked to sit for an hour or so every evening at her front window? She would just sit, looking at the traffic racing by.

    The great need in all of our lives is a source of power. We need that power to face temptations, bear burdens, and to be effective witnesses. We can find that power in Jesus.

    I do not believe that God is pleased with the divisions within the Body of Christ that cripple our witness. Where do we draw the line on division and acceptance with one another?

I have no doubt that I am considered too liberal by some standards, but then there are others, even more liberal than I, who consider me to be too strict and legalistic.
