    Fostering Community Series

    Contributed by Clair Sauer on Mar 14, 2016
     | 5,341 views

    In a world of division and strife, finding peace means building healthy relationships and strong community based in Christ's love.

    As I prayed over and prepared this sermon this week, I kept thinking how ironic it is to be writing a sermon about fostering community in the wake of a very contentious Super Tuesday primary. If anything, for weeks, we have watched the breakdown of community played out right before our eyes on TV, ...read more

    In Luke 12 Jesus asks His disciples if they think He came to bring peace on earth and then - without giving them a chance to respond - He makes; what to me seems like a shocking statement, “No, I tell you, but division.”

    Absaloms In The Gate

     | 2,494 views

    If indeed, God has given you new insight then use it for the sake of the Body and Christ not for your own devices or else you are an Absalom and in trouble with the Father and the Son. If you twist or deny Scripture you are in even deeper.

    2 Samuel 15:4  Absalom said moreover, Oh that I were made judge in the land, that every man which hath any suit or cause might come unto me, and I would do him justice! Absalom was a son of the King who thought he knew better than the King and swayed many to his side in a rebellion to remove ...read more

    In Ephesians 2:11–12 Paul shows the need for the work of Christ, the Promise of the Gospel of reconciliation, for Jew and Greek by First, Describing the former Social (Ephesians 2:11) then Spiritual alienation of Jews and Gentiles (Ephesians 2:11).

    Ephesians 2:11-12 [11] Therefore remember that at one time you Gentiles in the flesh, called "the uncircumcision" by what is called the circumcision, which is made in the flesh by hands--[12] remember that you were at that time separated from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of ...read more

    The world tries to divide us. We are told to chose sides. Political, ideal ology, teams, etc. Yet God tells us to follow Him. This is what this messasge is about.

    Title: Whose side are you own? Theme: To show that the devil tries to divide the church and His people. We must be on the LORDs side. Opening Prayer then read the scriptures.

    The division (fueled by things like - COVID, masks and a presidential election...etc) between people who were redeemed and set free by the blood of Jesus and who claim to be following after Him... must stop!

    When Dry Bones Can Live Again

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Mar 1, 2021
     | 14,179 views

    Symbolically, this vision is about the resurrection of Israel as a nation. The dry and disconnected bones represent how God’s people had been defeated, divided and scattered in exile. Only God can reconnect their bones, unite them and bring them back together as a country!

    WHEN DRY BONES CAN LIVE AGAIN Text: Ezekiel 37:1 - 14 Ezekiel 37:1-14  The hand of the LORD was upon me, and he brought me out in the Spirit of the LORD and set me down in the middle of the valley; it was full of bones.  (2)  And he led me around among them, and behold, there were ...read more

    The enemy has used divide and conquer to split the Church/Body and he is doing it well.

    "Division is devastating to effectiveness." Tim Dilena. Division in the Body has possibly done more damage to Western Christianity than heresy. That said, we cannot unite around anything but truth. Ten churches of like faith in a town or even ten miles away are a bar to ...read more

    If the Church does not merge in truth and fight the devil then it shall die in division or at best be weak and useless to Heaven and earth.

    Mark 3:24  And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.  25  And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.  Speaking of satan, but it applies to the house of God as well. "Division is devastating to effectiveness." Tim ...read more

    As we conclude this series on the 7 ones that lead to unity, we review the importance of being committed to unity and to allowing the 7 ones to be the focus of that unity.

    A. The story is told about a man who was walking across a bridge one day, and saw another man standing on the edge, about to jump off. 1. The man immediately ran over and said “Stop! Don’t do it!” The man said, “Why shouldn't I?” 2. The rescuer said: “Well, there’s so much to live for!” The ...read more

    The Wedding Banquet: Invitation, Ingratitude, And Indiscretion, Part I

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 20, 2023
     | 1,187 views

    Jesus' parable of the wedding banquet (Matthew 22:1-14) is a call to salvation. There will be many who will make poor excuses and refuse the invitation. There will be those who accept it with gratitude, but some will try to enter in their own way. In which category do you fit?

    Throughout the Scriptures, the call of God to come to Him for salvation, grace, and mercy is prominent. The paradise we lost at our fall into sin is not irreversible nor permanent. He has promised redemption even though we do not deserve it. He promised to make all things new, starting with the ...read more
