    From Wretched To Blessed

    Contributed by David Roth on Oct 5, 2020
     | 3,480 views

    The religious leaders of Isreal were removed from the kingdom of God because of their rejection of the prophets and of Christ. As Christians, Christ has placed us into His kingdom, that we would serve Him by handing over the fruits His righteousness produces.

    J. J. May the words of my mouth, and the meditations of our hearts, be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, our Rock and our Redeemer. Amen. (Ps. 19:14) “From wretched to blessed” Two weeks ago, we heard Jesus tell a parable about a vineyard, and how the owner of the vineyard paid the same wage ...read more

    'amend Your Way'

    Contributed by Patrick Agbonkpolor on Oct 13, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,909 views

    Our walk with God is predicated on our being obedient to Him. No one lives in disobedience and expect the blessings from God no matter how religious he tries to be. We need to amend our way in conformity to the Word of God.

    "This saith the LORD of hosts,the God of Israel,Amend your ways and your doings,and I will cause you to dwell in this place" (Jer 7:3) This message came to Judah through Jeremiah about 612 BC. There was a show of public worship without a corresponding transformation in the lives of the ...read more

    Where's Your Worth? Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Dec 2, 2013
    based on 56 ratings
     | 63,701 views

    Where do you find your "self-worth"? Is it in God, or in yourself? The Pharisees looked for their importance in themselves and ended up robbing God of His glory to gain their own. How can avoid the traps that ensnared these highly religious leaders?

    OPEN: "Sometime, when you're feeling important Sometime, when your ego's in bloom Sometime when you take it for granted, You're the best qualified man in the room. Sometime when you feel that your going, would leave an unfillable hole, Just follow this simple instruction, and see how it humbles ...read more

    Jesus, Jesus, Jesus Series

    Contributed by Bill Bryan on Mar 29, 2014
    based on 1 rating
     | 9,337 views

    Jesus is the central expression of God's grace and peace to us. Our unity/thankfulness for one another in the Lord is not based on our complete agreement on every social, political, or religious topic but upon our common experience of God's grace/peace

    On July 4th we celebrate the birth of the United States, and on June 20th we celebrate the birthday of my beloved home state of West Virginia. However, the birth of our nation came about through our division from England, and the birth of West Virginia came through division from the Confederacy. ...read more

    A Jealous God Series

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Mar 1, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 21,423 views

    God is “jealous” in the sense that He expects complete, exclusive devotion; not merely a partial, lukewarm, half-hearted religious observance. Worship belongs to God. He is worthy of worship and has a right to be “jealous” of it.

    The Bible clearly teaches that God is a jealous God. That doesn’t sit well with us; the very notion of the jealousy of God sounds offensive. We think of jealousy as an entirely negative quality--a sin. Yet God declares that He is jealous. God restricts allegiance to Himself alone: ...read more

    Onlookers And The Onlooked Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Apr 10, 2017
     | 3,754 views

    The abundance of religious art we see may remind us of the cross, but it can also dull us to the reality that the people involved were real people, not figments of creativity. Let’s take a look at some of those real people.

    PURSUING THE MARK Philippians 3:4-14 The starter’s line for this passage is the Apostle Paul’s polemic against false teachers, whose confidence lies in the flesh (Philippians 3:2-4). “The flesh” here represents self-help religion, which stands contrary to the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. ...read more

    Fill This Temple

    Contributed by Larry Grant on Nov 20, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,425 views

    There are some in the Christian community that suggest that politics and religion should never work together. Some in the public square that suggest that religious leaders ought to stay out of politics and concern themselves with only the spiritual. But God has the final say on this matter!

    In the passage today we take a second look at the people of Israel during the ministry of Haggai the prophet. As we learned last week, 70 years earlier, in the year 586 BC, the Babylonians invaded the Southern Kingdom, destroyed Solomon's beautiful temple in Jerusalem and had taken the people ...read more

    Times Of Refreshing

    based on 1 rating
     | 11,434 views

    Religious history shows that God periodically sends spiritual stirrings! But Charles Finney proved that God is ready to send His Spirit when the conditions for revival are right. We must seize these seasons of refreshing to bring revival to our world.

    TIMES OF REFRESHING Acts 3:19-20 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. There are a lot of people who need revival! 2. One lady, Vickie, called a lawyer’s office. She made an appointment with their Family Law department. 3. "How can I help you, ma’am?" asks the lawyer. "Is it true," ...read more

    Finalizing His Authority Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Oct 9, 2023
     | 1,556 views

    In this section of Mark's Gospel, we see Jesus finalizing His authority. We see His superior wisdom, knowledge and power as He is confronted by three groups of Jewish religious leaders and rises above each confrontation.

    Introduction: A. Christian Herter was governor of Massachusetts back in the 1950s and one day when he was campaigning for a second term in office, he went looking for votes at a church barbecue. 1. Herter was famished and as he moved through the serving line, he held out his plate to the woman ...read more

    The world offers countless answers—do good deeds, follow religious rituals, give to charity, try harder, live better. Yet, deep inside, every honest person knows this truth: we cannot wash ourselves clean.

    Go! And Be Washed, Renewed, and Saved - Titus 3:5–6 Introduction Church, let me begin with a question that strikes at the very heart of our humanity: “How do you make yourself clean before a holy God?” The world offers countless answers—do good deeds, follow religious rituals, give to charity, ...read more

    All Excuses Silenced

    Contributed by Scott Spencer on Feb 19, 2012
     | 3,359 views

    If one thing is clear, from the book of Romans, it should be that everyone stands guilty before God. Not only are those who reject God found guilty, but also those who acknowledge God and live by high religious standards. Why? Because we have all sinned.

    Romans 3:1-20 In Hans Christian Andersen's story of The Emperor's New Clothes the Emperor parades before his whole populous without any clothes on. He had been convinced that he was wearing clothes which were invisible to everyone but the wise and pure in heart. The people, not wanting to appear ...read more

    Hosea’s Risky Love, Part 2

     | 1,900 views

    In the days the past, the clarion call and mission of the black church was two-fold: it served as a beacon of hope for the lost-soul seeking grace and mercy, but it also functioned as an oasis for all issues affecting the community. BMCR is That for the United Methodist Church

    Hosea 11:1-5, 9-11 11:1 When Israel was a child, I loved him, and out of Egypt I called my son. 11:2 The more I called them, the more they went from me; they kept sacrificing to the Baals, and offering incense to idols. 11:3 Yet it was I who taught Ephraim to walk, I took them up in my arms; but ...read more

    Keeping Good Company Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 16,676 views

    Why should I be careful of the company I keep? Should I avoid the company of sinners, and mockers and the immoral? And if I do this (avoid sinners) how can I carry the message of Christ to the lost?

    (Poem) “All the water in the world - however hard it tried, could never, never sink a ship… unless it got inside.

    When we think of ransom in a religious sense, especially in Christianity, we think of ransom as a deliverance from sin or its penalty. And yet, someone has to pay for the sin, do they not? As we find in the passage today, Jesus has paid a huge ransom fo
