Sinungaling Na Saksi Na Nagsasalita Ng Kabulaanan

Contributed by James Dina on Aug 7, 2020

Ang pagiging isang huwad na saksi ay kumikilos bilang ahente ni Satanas; sa ilalim ng kontrol ng diyablo, isang maling saksi ang nagbubuhos ng mga kasinungalingan at siya ay naging isang insulto sa lipunan. Ang mga huwad na saksi ay parurusahan.

Sinungaling na saksi na nagsasalita ng kabulaanan "Ang isang huwad na saksi ay hindi parurusahan, at siya na humihinga ng kasinungalingan ay hindi makakatakas" (Kawikaan 19: 5) Ang nagsisinungaling na dila ay nagsasabi ng kasinungalingan, ngunit ang maling patotoo ay mas masahol pa: ...read more

Biblical Instruction For End Time Living: The Example Of Noah Series

Contributed by Dr. Dave Hartson on Mar 3, 2021

If I believe in my heart that Jesus’ return is real soon, then I have an obligation as your pastor to instruct you as to how the Bible says we should live as we approach the end

Introduction I don’t think I am wrong when I say that this generation has moved further away from God than other generation in modern history. And because of that my view regarding the timing of the end times has changed. When I first got here at Bala Chitto in 1994, I believed with all my heart ...read more

"we Had Hoped..."

Contributed by Ken Sauer on Apr 7, 2021

A sermon about the Road to Emmaus and beyond.

“We Had Hoped…” Luke 24:13-48 All four Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are absolutely consistent on this one thing: no one believes the Good News of Jesus’ Resurrection when they first hear it. No one. And that includes Jesus’ own disciples, the ones who were closest to Him and spent ...read more

Let Your Light Shine

Contributed by Ian Bullock on Apr 15, 2021

A look at how the disciples encountered Christ post resurrection, and how this speaks into the present day filled with hopelessness and apathy, and how as modern disciples the torch has passed to us to continue the work

In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen. As we continue to journey through our Easter Season, the Gospel continues to speak to us about the impact that the Resurrection had upon the disciples. Last week, the Gospel focussed on Thomas and his disbelief, and this week, we continue by ...read more

Promoting What We Have

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 13, 2021

If we fail to recognize what God is doing in our midst, then His blessings may depart from us. Instead of looking at what we "don't" have, we need to look at what we "do" have, and then tell others what God is doing in our church.

I’ve entitled our message today: “Promoting What We Have.” And we’re going to take a look at four points to boldly sharing with others what God is doing in our life and in our church. I once heard it said that you should appreciate what you have, before it becomes what you had.(1) This is an ...read more

Persevering Crackpots

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Jun 10, 2021

How did Paul respond to his critics ... ? ... Paul "... said, but we proclaim Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles" (I Cor.1:23 NRSV). The true gospel of Jesus Christ removes all crutches that people use to prop up their pretentiousness!

PERSEVERING CRACKPOTS Text: II Corinthians 4:5 - 12, 2 Corinthians 4:5-12  For we do not proclaim ourselves; we proclaim Jesus Christ as Lord and ourselves as your slaves for Jesus' sake.  (6)  For it is the God who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," who has ...read more

The Days Of Elijah – Confronting Critical Conditions

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Jun 15, 2021

2 Kings 7:3-11 is like that. The story centers around four leprous men, forced out of the city by a dreaded disease, during a time when the capitol city, Samaria, was besieged by a powerful army of Syrian. Learing from Lepers.

God uses many different methods to instruct His people on the earthly pilgrimage. Many of God’s instruction are clear and to the point, other are hidden in parables, Proverbs, and stories. I am fascinated when I discover how God speaks through stories like those found in the book of Esther. As you ...read more
