     | 4,016 views

    Calvary Baptist Church, Washington, DC: We will never achieve maturity until we come to terms with our paternity and accept our posterity. Understand that those who shaped us were also maturing; the transforming power of Christ will open wide our hearts.

    All of us aspire to maturity. All of us hope to become mature and complete, grown up in every way, accomplished, respected, and honored. It’s a worthy goal. It’s a proper ambition. But we will never achieve maturity until we come to terms with both our paternity and our posterity. Our ...read more

    Some call it the Lord’s Supper. Some call it Communion. Some call it the Eucharist. Just as there are different names for the event, there are many different teachings about it. That confusion isn’t a new thing. It was going on even in the first century C

    http://brushforkbanner.blogspot.com/ As you can tell from the table that is set before us, we will be partaking of the Lord’s Supper this morning. So since that is the case, I think it is a good idea for us to spend some time talking about what that means. There are two reasons why that’s a good ...read more

    Qualities Of An Effective Leader -- Part 2 Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,924 views

    If you want to be an effective leader, don’t let alcohol control you, don’t let anger control you, and don’t let money control you. Instead, let Christ control you so you can lead others to Him.

    Once upon a time there was a teacher in Texas who was helping one of her kindergarten students put on his cowboy boots? He asked for help, and she could see why. Even with her pulling and him pushing, the little boots still didn’t want to go on. By the time they got the second boot on, she had ...read more

    Peter doubted Jesus when he was asked to put his nets into the deep water. It made no sense. It shouldn’t have worked. But in spite of his doubt, Jesus rewarded Peter. Why?

If you know it, sing along if you want to: “Fill my cup Lord, I lift it up Lord Come and quench the thirsting of my soul Bread of heaven fill me til I want no more Fill my cup, fill it up and make ...read more

    based on 9 ratings
     | 11,021 views

    Knowing for sure that you are eternally secure is not a matter of inspecting your behavior; it is a matter of taking the Lord Jesus Christ at His Word: "He who lives and believes in Me shall never die [spiritually]."

    After being abused and accused by his fellow Jews, Jeremiah’s counsel was sought and ignored. Modern believers need to take note.

    If I hadn’t had a similar, though less lethal, experience, I probably wouldn’t relate to that scene in “The Godfather” where the old Mafioso tells the young boss how the traitor would try to kill him after his death.
