The Cost Of Discipleship

Contributed by John Gaston on Feb 24, 2021

Jesus tells the disciples He will have to suffer and Peter rebukes HIm. Jesus tells them that unless they deny themselves & take their cross, they'll be rejected. The power of God only flows into a crucified life. Have you surrendered all yet?

THE COST OF DISCIPLESHIP Mk. 8:31-38 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A teacher with obvious liberal tendencies told her class of small children that she was an atheist. She asked her class, “How many of you want to be atheists too?” Not knowing what atheism is, but wanting to be like their teacher, ...read more

The Privilege Of Prayer

Contributed by John Gaston on Nov 9, 2022

Earthly kings & presidents DO NOT ALLOW ACCESS to themselves by average people! How different God is, to seek out the lowest, the least, & the nobodies - though He's the Creator & King of kings. Prayer is a priceless privilege; make sure you use it!

Knowing The Truth - Part Three

Contributed by J. Yeargin on Nov 28, 2006

Jesus did not determine who He was by what men had to say about Him. Jesus knew the people He was ministering to. He knew that one day they all would turn away and reject Him.

- Part Three - Jesus as Love Text: John 2:23 – 25 This passage is a good example to me why it is important to meditate on the Word of the Lord. You can mistake the meaning of the word if you only glance at it. You could read this and wonder if Jesus didn’t trust men. Is this saying that Jesus ...read more

Sexual Immoraity In America

Contributed by Steve Greene on Feb 4, 2020

One of the clearest indicators of rebellion against God is the blatant rejection of God's guidelines for sex. When we sin sexually, we hurt ourselves, we hurt others, and we break the heart of God.

We are ALL broken people born into a broken world. The evidence of that brokenness often shows up most obviously in the area of our sexuality. So many people—professing Christians included—are willing to give their heart to God, but it seems like they want Him to stay out of their bedroom and out ...read more

Why You Shouldn’t Speak In Tongues

Contributed by John Gaston on Nov 7, 2017

The arguments against speaking in tongues today, if applied to other Bible doctrines, would have all orthodox Bible believers crying foul. The truth is, these arguments are not true to the Scriptures or Early Church experience, and should be rejected.

WHY YOU SHOULDN’T SPEAK IN TONGUES INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. We’re on our way somewhere! Not just to a normal place like the grocery store or to the bank. We’re on our way to heaven! 2. Have you ever been up a really tall building? A small boy, with his father, was in an elevator going up the ...read more
