    Who Is The Holy Spirit? Series

    Contributed by Jason Smith on Sep 14, 2013
     | 7,608 views

    There are many different views in the religious world about who/what the Holy Spirit is. Some believe the Holy Spirit is an impersonal force while others believe He is a personal being and God. What do the scriptures say?

    These lessons on the Holy Spirit of God are meant to just “whet your appetite.” I am attempting to condense a good bit of what we see mentioned about the Holy Spirit into 4 lessons. This series could very easily be expanded into 15-20 lessons, if not more. I pray that these lessons will ...read more

    There are many answers given in the religious world to the question, "What must I do to be saved?". Which answer is correct? Let's examine the first conversion account in Acts to find out what the Holy Spirit's answer is to this important question.

    What a great day for the kingdom of God it must have been when that first sermon was preached by Peter! The door into the kingdom of heaven was opened to the world. That first sermon led to the salvation of about 3000 souls. Let’s put ourselves into the shoes of the people hearing this first ...read more

    Sharing Our Faith Series

    Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Jun 30, 2016
     | 6,191 views

    When we open our mouths about our faith; the love of Jesus should come out. Not religious speak but honest heart felt truth the kind of truth that made you want to trust Jesus with your soul.

    Message: For several weeks we have talked about sharing things; our spiritual gifts, our time, our resources and our treasure. But the most difficult thing that Christians find hard to share today is their faith. It is strange that the one thing most Christians have an abundance of is the hardest ...read more

    A Summary Of The Law, And A Question Of Identity

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 6, 2014
    based on 7 ratings
     | 8,806 views

    Often men are more interested in proving the prowess of their own religious party, rather than listening to Jesus. There are times when we need to stop speaking, stop questioning, and start listening to what God is saying in His Word.

    A SUMMARY OF THE LAW, AND A QUESTION OF IDENTITY. Matthew 22:34-46. This section begins with the Pharisees gathered together with just one malicious desire. They had heard Jesus “putting the Sadducees to silence” (Matthew 22:34), and yet they still imagined that they could outwit Him with ...read more

    The Curse Of The Law

    Contributed by John Lowe on May 18, 2016
     | 6,033 views

    Salvation could never come by obedience to the Law, because the Law brings a curse, not a blessing. The Law demands obedience, and this means obedience in all things. The Law is not a “religious cafeteria” where people can pick and choose.

    Tom Lowe 5/17/16 The Curse of the Law (3.10-12) Galatians 3.10-12 (KJV) 10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. 11 But that no man is ...read more

    Palm Sunday, Expectations. Series

    Contributed by Andrew Moffatt on Apr 8, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 12,228 views

    On Palm Sunday expectations as to who Jesus was did not meet with reality, Often when expectations don't meet with reality the outcome will be conflict, either internal or external. The religious people already had their minds set on an outcome for Jesus.

    Palm Sunday Sermon expectations? In Luke’s gospel as in all the Biblical gospels we are given a depiction of what is often referred to as the “Triumphal Entry”, we have this depiction of Jesus mysteriously instructing a couple of his disciples to head off into town and untie a ...read more

    Labeling Jesus Series

    Contributed by David Owens on May 1, 2023
     | 2,939 views

    In this section, Mark sandwiched an incident with Jesus' family and an incident with the Jewish religious leaders to show the judgments people were making about Jesus. In the end, Jesus can only be one of three possibilities: Lord, liar or lunatic.

    A. You’ve heard the old joke: “You can call me anything you want, just don’t call me late for dinner.” 1. Have you ever had someone call you a name that hurt you? We all have, right? 2. Some people call us names to deliberately hurt us, but others sometimes call us names in jest, and yet those ...read more

    Most people in the world today reduce Jesus to just a historical religious figure or some prophet of long ago. Some say he is a spiritual force, a wise teacher, or some kind of god among many other gods.

     | 374 views

    In today’s world, familiarity with spiritual activities and religious practices can easily lead to a loss of reverence. Many have become casual in the way they handle sacred things — from the Word of God, to the sacraments, to spiritual offices and responsibilities.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,004 views

    Prayer is not merely a religious duty; it is a divine privilege. Through prayer, we commune with the Creator of the universe. Yet, how often do we approach God with hesitation, doubting whether He hears us or will answer our petitions?

    Go! And Pray with Confidence 1 John 5:14-15 (NLT): "And we are confident that he hears us whenever we ask for anything that pleases him. And since we know he hears us when we make our requests, we also know that he will give us what we ask for." Introduction: The Privilege of ...read more

    Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Dec 28, 2025
     | 139 views

    How many call Jesus good but refuse to submit to Him as Lord? Concluding John 5, we see a stern and yet compassionate plea from Jesus to the religious for them to realize how they are living and turn from it.

    John, Part 21 Series: The Messiah’s Confirmation, Part 6 John 5:39-47 - Continue our series: “The Messiah’s Confirmation” (part 6, final msg of series) -- Ch 5 is a look into the 2nd year ministry events of Jesus; pilgrimage feast time -- Prob.

    After a big event like a political campaign, leaders are called to justify their actions.
