    Our Treasure In Christ

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jan 27, 2019
     | 5,108 views

    We live in an age of information, with great technological advancement. People have an opportunity to be more connected now than ever, but many are isolated and alone. They seek real peace and truth. This is found only in Jesus!

    Our Treasure in Christ 1 John 1: 1-4 As I read these verses I thought of the present condition of our world. We live in the most advanced age the world has ever known: an age of information, technological advancement, and increasing global dependence and interaction. In an age like this, one ...read more

    Like the Ephesians we live in an increasingly pagan world. Satan has provided us with lots of ,temple of Diana like, competitors. In spite of this, Like the Ephesians, Christ has made us to be His one body.

    We learned them as children, but did we learn from them? There is truth wrapped up in these tales!

    I. Introduction We learned them as children. They are forever burned into our memory. However, just because we learned them doesn't mean we learned from them. Today in honor of our graduates I want to examine a fairytale that isn't quite as well known. Once upon a time there was an old ...read more

    When Unity Becomes Toxic

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Jun 9, 2019

    The stories of the Tower of Babel and Pentecost teach us to: 1. Guard against prideful uniformity. 2. Cherish diversity as God's gift, and 3. Look to Christ as the source of our unity

    Genesis 11:1-9 When Unity Becomes Toxic We tend to think of unity as a good thing. Military units aspire for unity. People in public office wish for it. Marriages hope for it. Churches aspire for it. Yet, sometimes supposed unity masks for uniformity, and can quickly slip into pride and ...read more

    True Beauty Protects Vs False Beauty That Destroys

     | 2,518 views

    Beauty and wisdom draw us to Christ. False beauty, the kind that breaks covenants and leads astray, draws us to destruction and death. This is a combination of two Devotional meditations on Proverbs 2:9-15 & 16-18

    Proverbs 2 9. then you will understand right and justice and equity and everything good. 10. when wisdom comes into your heart, and knowledge into your soul, it’s delightful (beautiful); 11. good plans will keep you; understanding will guard you, 12. to keep you from the evil person who ...read more

    Here is my adaptation of a sermon contributed by Tim Zingale, Sermon Central, Sept. 2007, "The Rabbit". The focus of my adaptation is the declining vitality of the universal Christian church resulting from having lost sight of Christ, the cornerstone of God's redemptive church.

    (If you have found this sermon helpful, please visit us at www.HeritageRestorationProject.org or www.ChristianWisdom.info) One day, a young disciple of Christ who wanted to become everything that God had in mind for him visited the home of an elderly Christian seeking his advice. He had heard that ...read more

    Our Resurrection

     | 3,964 views

    While our souls do indeed go to heaven when we die, this is by no means the end of it. The ultimate goal is the resurrection. This is what scripture teaches. Why has the church drifted from this teaching? This sermon seeks to answer that as well as

    Sometimes, In these later years especially, I think that we Christians have spiritualized what we believe a little too much. What I mean when I say that is that we look at the promises of God only insofar as they have to do with our spirits, or our souls. For example, when you think of your ...read more

    The "Grace" Question

    Contributed by Dr. William D. Poovey on Apr 24, 2015
     | 2,263 views

    Many church leaders say all we have to do is invite Jesus into our heart and we can do anything we like with the rest of our life without any concern of where we will spend eternity!.

    The "GRACE" Question If we ask Jesus to come into our heart are we saved not matter what we do with the rest of our life? Will we see the open arms of Jesus if he comes back while we are molesting a 5 year old? Will the angels bid us upward as we lift a cigarette from the seared flesh of an ...read more
