    Godly Ambition Series

    Contributed by Bob Myers on Sep 8, 2020
     | 5,684 views

    Ambition is a common human motivation. We see it played out in the lives of countless men and women throughout history. In our text today, we observe two kinds of burning ambition. While the passion to achieve desired ends is similar, the motivation sets them worlds apart.

    Who Is This Man? Godly Ambition Mark 10:32-45 Ambition We often talk about people going through “phases.” That’s especially true for those who are growing through adolescence or some other dynamic season of life. “Oh, don’t worry about it,” we tell ourselves, “it’s just a phase.” Grown adults ...read more

    Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Jun 17, 2021
     | 3,344 views

    Bible is the holy scripture. It does not give us sequences of what we want from it. But God has revealed at various seasons and at several times for the benefit of all. The careful reading and observing the Word of God unfold the revelation of God to all of us.

    The True Temple Enters Jerusalem

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Dec 27, 2021
     | 1,717 views

    Jesus went into the Temple in Jerusalem and drove out all those who desecrated the house of the LORD, earning the scorn of the religious officials. The Lord Jesus declared Himself to be the true temple of God, holy, spotless, and free from corruption.

    John's account of the life and work of the Lord Jesus included the recording of specific miracles He performed to demonstrate His authority, power, and divinity to His disciples and to those among His countrymen who truly had a hunger for the deeper things of God. There were also those who ...read more

    Kindness

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Aug 22, 2021
     | 11,513 views

    The message encourages Christians to cooperate with the Holy Spirit in the development of kindness in their character. Evidence of biblical kindness in our lives is explored as well as Issues that undermine kindness.

    Today’s message is very simply entitled “Kindness.” Are you a kind person? The Pharisees of Jesus day were very religious, but they were not kind. Their attitude toward other people was condescending, arrogant, and condemning. This attitude came out in John 7. Jesus was at the temple teaching ...read more

    All religious books claim to be the word of God, but prophecy sets the Bible apart as having God’s seal of authentication. This section looks at the exact fulfillment of Daniel’s prophecy from the decree to the Messiah.

    (Part 4 of 6) According to the angel of God, once the decree to rebuild Jerusalem went forth, God’s people would know for certain that the Messiah would be in Israel in 483 years. This is a fascinating prophecy that opens up scripture and indisputably points to Jesus Christ as the Messiah. God told ...read more

    Have you ever set out after something and you got close but you didn’t quite get it? Just coming close can be pretty debilitating and frustrating. But nothing would be worse than getting close to the kingdom of God but not getting there.

    CLOSE BUT NO CIGAR Mark 12:28-34 INTRODUCTION: Have you ever set out after something and you got close but you didn’t quite get it? Coming close can be pretty debilitating and frustrating.

    As Jesus drew near to Jerusalem, crowds began to follow Him, news spread to Jerusalem of His coming, tension was in the air. As Jesus entered the city, they threw a Messiah Parade…the prelude to conflict with religious authorities and death.

    The marginal people storm into the church, insisting that the church should live up to the pattern offered by Jesus. They rock the boat, and in so doing they force the church to remember its reason for being.

    There is a story of a group of the very pious who are waiting in heaven for judgment. As they are waiting and complaining about the wait, they begin to see some of the “sinners” they knew on earth coming into the waiting room: a corrupt politician, an itinerant woman who had been ...read more

    Contributed by Donnie Martin on Jun 1, 2002
    based on 41 ratings
     | 8,244 views

    Holiness is more than merely a matter of religious activities. God is not near as concerned with our methods of ministry as He is our motives of ministry. That’s because God is not so concerned with the surface of man as He is with the spirit of man.

    Holiness Is A Matter Of The Heart Text: Eph.6: 6; Mark 7: 18-19a Intro: It is absolutely impossible to become a Christian without a change of heart. Everything about trusting Christ as ones Savior affects the heart. If there has been no change of heart, there has been no conversion. Just ...read more

    Elders have greater responsibility in making the youth, children of the Church. Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph taught their children and grandchildren about the fear of God. Imparting religious traditions, doctrine and disciples are significant for any believing elder.
