     | 3,875 views

    He's writing to a church like mine, with problems

    Thank you for inviting me. It’s nice to be invited where people like me for who I am. When I was born they asked, “So, how’s his mother.” And when I got married they said, “My, what a lovely bride” and I have no doubt that the day I die, they’ll probably say, “I wonder how much did he left her.” I ...read more

    It is true - we do reap what we sow, whether it be in training for a marathon, planting corn or beans, strengthening our marriages, disciplining our children, taking thoughts captive, or simply being kind to people.

    I Am With You When You Are All Alone Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jul 26, 2020
     | 5,850 views

    The Bible is filled with the stories of flesh and blood people … frail human beings with ordinary human needs who face all of the same kinds of struggles and challenges that we face … which is why we can not only relate to Paul’s discouragement but can learn from his courage as well.

    I want to start out by reading an anonymous poem called “Friendship”: Friendship is a priceless gift that cannot be bought or sold But its value is far greater than a mountain of gold For gold is cold and lifeless It can neither see nor hear And in times of trouble it is powerless to cheer It has ...read more

    Antichrists- Part 1

    Contributed by Chuck Brooks on Aug 3, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,148 views

    The Bible teaches that when the Antichrist comes in the end times, he will try to be the Christ that men are looking for.

    First John 2:18-27 contrasts Christians with Antichrists. Verse 18 says, "Ye have heard that Antichrist shall come, even now are there many Antichrists, by which we know that it is the last time." That verse introduces a term that is very familiar to Christians: Antichrists. This is the ...read more

    Many fall prey to false teachings because they are not abiding in Christ and the Word of God.

    In verse 26, John writes his reason for his teaching on antichrists. John has just warned his readers about antichrists and false teachers who were trying to infiltrate the church to deceive the brethren then he says: 1 John 2:26 I am writing these things to you about those who are trying to ...read more

     | 3,484 views

    John wants to assure believers of the eternal life they possess and spur them on toward continued faith in Jesus Christ.

    The Christian’s assurance concerning salvation (vs. 13) “These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, in order that you may know that you have eternal life.” One of the purposes of John’s letter was to convince the unbelieving, Gnostic follower that Jesus was the ...read more

    The “love of the brethren” is one of the greatest witnesses the church can have, because love is the greatest among all the virtues.

    In this study, we will look at three areas of evidence; Historical, Prophetic, and Personal, and conclude with how to share your testimony.

    Just a short time after my 11th birthday, my Mom died suddenly. The pain, anguish, and anger I felt made me question everything I had been taught about God, my experience with Him, and even if He existed. About two years later, I was at a YMCA camp on Catalina Island, just off the California ...read more

    People today are so unempathetic that we see people in trouble, we see people in distress, and we are so self-absorbed…so self-centered that all we care about is me, my and mine! but Jesus purchased us with His blood to be our Brother’s Keeper!

    Open your bibles with me to Luke at chapter number 10 commencing in verse 25 through verse 37. Thank you, you may be seated. The grass withers and the flower fades but the word of our God shall stand forever! I want to talk this morning about the danger of losing our empathy …empathy is our ability ...read more
