    Content For The Faith Series

    Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Aug 25, 2023
     | 1,131 views

    Christianity survived for centuries for a simple reason its built on Faith in God. It would survive till the end of the earth, end of the humanity and end of everything. Because God has built His Kingdom through one man and till the last person holds the faith, it would exist.

    Jude 1:3 - Content for the Faith Delivered to Saints: Jude writes to encourage his readers to violently defend the faith that the apostles had taught. Jude writes that "the faith … was once for all delivered to the saints" (Jude 1:3). To be a saint means you stand shoulder to shoulder ...read more

    An Outline Of Acts 5:17-42

     | 3,056 views

    The apostles were taken into custody another time and stood trial the next day. Compare what Peter said, and what Gamaliel said, as responses to the charges! This outline is revised from one I used in preaching a miniseries on Acts several years ago.

    Introduction: the apostles were healing people, through the power of God, so much that even people from outside Jerusalem were bringing their sick folks there for healing. Verses 12-16 give a brief summary of these activities. All of this no doubt led to the high priest and others taking action to ...read more

    Which of the Ten Commandments no longer applies in our lives today and why? How about the Fourth? What we live is what we believe - so, let me ask you again: Which of the Ten Commandments no longer applies in our lives today and why?

    What Do Christians Have To Do With The Sabbath? Exodus 20:1-17; Luke 6:1-11; Isaiah 58:13-14 Turn with me, if you would, to Exodus 20:1-17.

    In order to live holy one must separate ourselves from certain people and things

    Marks of a Christian: Separation II Corinthians 6:14-18 The word ’separation’ means different things to different people. The dictionary definition is simple to be set apart. The same word is translated elsewhere in the Scriptures as ’holy’ and ’sanctify’. Now the concept of separation does not ...read more

    Without the resurrection, nothing about Christianity makes sense. But with the resurrection, Christianity is the only thing that makes sense of life.

    I stand before you today, on this the holiest day of the Christian year, to declare that the Christian religion is utter nonsense. A huge mass of inconsistencies; a conglomeration of all that is absurd, ridiculous, incomprehensible, contradictory, unbelievable, incredible, and patently false. Allow ...read more

    Simon the Magician looked pretty good. But his behavior after his "conversion" experience left a lot to be desired. We can find some pretty clear characterisitcs of those who look like believers, but are not.

    A word of warning from the Sermon on the Mount: we must make certain our walk with God.

    Not Everyone’s Coming Home Matt. 7:21-23 Thomas Wolfe wrote, “You can’t go home again.” Robert Frost wrote, “Home is the place where, when you have to go there, They have to take you in.” I suppose there is an element of truth in both of these ideas. Wolfe wrote from the perspective of the ...read more

    We can easily forget the importance of time in our lives and how a single moment in time can change our lives for eternity. We can become overwhelmed by the fast pace of our lives and the world forgetting that the next world is just a breath away.

    Before it’s too Late Luke 12:54-59 New International Version (NIV) 54 He said to the crowd: “When you see a cloud rising in the west, immediately you say, ‘It’s going to rain,’ and it does.

    Although Messianic Judaism is how it all began with the Jewish Messiah and Jewish Apostles, it has been treated as an unwanted stepchild by Judaism and much of the Church

    THE STEPCHILD Some Provocative Food for Thought. There is a much-needed conversation… so let’s talk. Traditional Judaism and traditional Christianity have often treated Messianic Judaism as an embarrassing and problem stepchild. It is an ecclesial anathema.

    As a spiritual people it is important for us to realize the spiritual signs of the times that we are living in. By the time that Jesus arrived the Jews fell into a kind of spiritual numbness that led to complacency. For them it was just another day.

    Before it’s too Late Luke 12:54-59 54 He said to the crowd: “When you see a cloud rising in the west, immediately you say, ‘It’s going to rain,’ and it does.

    The story of Pentecost tells us not only of how the church was born, but also how the church has continued to outreach and outdo herself because of the power, influence and inspiration of the Holy Spirit.

    WHEN THE CHURCH WAS BORN Text: Acts 2:1-21 I read the story about a football player whose performance exceeded the expectation of others. "…. In the last two minutes of the game, with the score against his team, makes a touchdown. He runs faster than his legs can carry him, and farther than ...read more

    Christianity is all about a relationship with Jesus, and it is purely by grace. Its end is not salvation but fellowship with God.

    If someone were to walk up to you and ask you out of the blue, “How can I be saved?” what would you say? • Would you know how to answer him? What is the one thing that you would tell him? • You need to know. Your answer will determine where he spends ...read more
