    Contributed by William Mccaffery on Oct 15, 2004
    based on 14 ratings
     | 21,393 views

    The New Testament clearly demonstrates that there is one and only one Church that was founded by the Lord Jesus Christ.

    I want to talk to you tonight about the Church. However, before I get into that, I want to share a little bit about where I come from. I was born and raised in the United Methodist Church. I’ve spent some time kneeling with Baptists. I’ve played guitar with the Pentecostals. I’ve preached in ...read more

    It is incredible how that God can take a seeming disadvantage and turn it into an advantage for His glory.

    Philippians 1:12-14 -- “But I would ye should understand, brethren, that the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel;” “So that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace, and in all other places;” “And many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing ...read more

    Satanic Slaughter

    Revelation 9:13-14, “Then the sixth angel blew his trumpet, and I heard a voice speaking from the four horns of the gold altar that stands in the presence of God.

    Since individuals are the church at its most basic level; how are we supposed to live?

    The Molecular Church In 1665, the English physicist Robert Hooke looked at a sliver of cork through a microscope lens and noticed it was made up of individual parts. He realized that cork was made up of smaller sections he called cells because they looked like the cells that monks lived in. That ...read more

    The Forgiveness Of Sins Series

    Contributed by Freddy Fritz on Nov 3, 2004
    based on 15 ratings
     | 8,010 views

    This sermon explores one part of how God removes the barrier of sin, brings us into fellowship with himself, and grants us eternal life. This teaching is summed up in the Apostles’ Creed in which we affirm our belief in "the forgiveness of sins."

    Introduction As we continue our series in The Apostles’ Creed I would like to examine today what it means to believe in the forgiveness of sins. Please listen as I recite the Apostles’ Creed: I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, his only ...read more

    What Manifests In Your Life?

    Contributed by Joel Santos on Nov 8, 2004
    based on 69 ratings
     | 7,348 views

    The title of this text in the Bible is called "The Lord Helps His Troubled People." In our lives we encounter troubles and difficulties and as a natural response we become discouraged and defeated.

    During Your Troubled Times WHAT MANIFESTS IN YOUR LIFE? Psalm 3:1-8 “O LORD, how my adversaries have increased! Many are rising up against me. Many are saying of my soul, "There is no deliverance for him in God." Selah. But You, O LORD, are a shield about me, My glory, and the One who lifts my ...read more

    An absolute surrender that God expects from us.

    “And Ben-hadad the king of Syria gathered all his host together: and there were thirty and two kings with him, and horses, and chariots: and he went up and besieged Samaria, and warred against it.

    Cultivating A Grateful Heart

    Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Nov 21, 2004
    based on 128 ratings
     | 28,201 views

    If I am going to cultivate a grateful heart, I need to change my focus: 1. From what I don’t have to what I do have. 2. From getting a blessing to being a blessing. 3. From earth to eternity.

    One of the great mysteries of our culture is that we are the most privileged and prosperous people who have ever lived on the face of the earth — past and present — and yet many Americans are not happy. We have more of everything, and yet we are not content. Even when good things happen we ...read more

    Don't Excuse Yourself From God's Banquet Of Salvation

    Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Nov 19, 2003
    based on 68 ratings
     | 8,332 views

    In the parable of the great banquet Jesus gives us a graphic warning about excusing ourselves from God’s feast of salvation in time and in eternity.

    “Are you looking for just the right excuse for a certain situation? Ask your pastor he has heard them all.” Although more of joke than advice there is some truth to it. Pastors do hear a lot of excuses. But I think it would be more correct to say that only God has truly heard all the excuses ...read more

    John 1.1-18: What if God was One of Us? Introduction In J.B. Phillip’s New Testament Christianity, a senior angel is showing a very young angel around the splendours of the universe.

    based on 15 ratings
     | 6,590 views

    In the arrest or Jesus we see the worst and the best man can muster - and how its not enough without the strength of our Lord.

    Bravado: "a pretense of courage." It comes from an Old Spanish word "to swagger." Webster’s defines bravery as: "quality of spirit that enables you to face danger of pain without showing fear." Betrayal: "To deliver into the hands of an enemy in violation of a trust or allegiance" Today we ...read more

    We can learn from Paul the importance of relying upon Jesus. We can rely on Him to provide us the life testimony that He desires to be put in front of His people at the appropriate time and place.

    Title: The Law, The Christian, and the World… Scripture: Acts 24 I would like to use some scripture to use as a sort of prelude to Acts 24. Then, with that in our minds, we’ll be better able to understand a short discussion on Acts 24. (2 Timothy 3:1b-5) There will be terrible times in the last ...read more

    based on 7 ratings
     | 4,149 views

    Do you feel a lack of growth? It could be that you are experiencing the effects of bad doctrine or that you need to re-connect to the root - Jesus Christ.

    The Colossians were Christians - they knew Jesus as their Savior. But what threatened them in the proto-Gnostic heresy was a lack of maturity. They were like plants - plants that hadn’t grown up and were stunted in their maturity. As Christians if we do not grow in our discipleship in Christ ...read more
