    The Treatment Of Titus Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Apr 19, 2018
     | 6,139 views

    The Galatians were following the false teachers who were Judaizers, because they thought it was necessary for those who aspired to higher perfection to observe the Law of Moses in addition to Christian faith and doctrine.

    Circumcision Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Apr 22, 2024
     | 952 views

    Using OT Scripture, Paul proves in Romans 4:9-12 that circumcision is not a prerequisite for justification. Justification is by faith alone. Vital principles applicable today are taught in this passage of Scripture.

    Intro Romans 4 naturally divides into sections: 1. Justification is by faith, not by works (vv.1-8). 2. Justification by faith is not dependent on ritual (vv. 9-16). 3. The kind of faith that leads to justification is exemplified by Abraham (vv. 17-22). 4. Justification is available now for all ...read more

    Multi Ethnic Bereavement

    Contributed by Davon Huss on Apr 30, 2017
     | 14,106 views

    I wrote this for a counseling class. It contains three parts: 1) Bereavement in religion 2) Bereavement in ethnic groups 3) Applications for pastoral and clinical counselors.

    To be used of the Lord to help those grieving is both satisfying and humbling. My personal prayer is that more mourners will be drawn to the gospel of Jesus Christ. The Gospel of Christ is the only thing that can bring true and lasting comfort. Jesus said, “Blessed are those that mourn, for they ...read more

    The Biblical Mode Of Baptism Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on May 21, 2011
     | 4,797 views

    Does the mode of baptism matter? If Scripture is our guide, how we are baptised, as well as why we are baptised, is extremely important.

    “See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ. For in him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily, and you have been filled in him, who is the head of all rule ...read more

    Equal In Dignity, Diverse In Function Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jun 21, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,976 views

    In our worship, we are all equal in dignity, but, as Jesus gave different ministries to his disciples, in and out of worship, we differ in function and service; that is the meaning of hierarchy.

    Solemnity of Peter and Paul June 29, 2009 The readings for this solemnity help us to understand how it is that Christ left us–as a gift–a hierarchical Church. I was reading some fairly recent articles in Pastoral Music recently, and came across a rather angry one from a nun who was complaining ...read more

    Our lesson today is thus titled, "I swear" Not because I do. But that is the topic Jesus is covering in this portion of our Sermon on the Mount series.

    WELCOME & INTRODUCTION THE HISTORY OF OATH TAKING From the beginning of time oaths were part of a major way of life. As a student of Christian history, I believe this is a moment to understand why oaths are so important, as well as how they came to be such an important tradition. WHAT IS AN ...read more

     | 16,332 views

    Sodom was guilty of six sins and the first on the list was "pride". What is it about pride that makes God so angry and how can we avoid that sin?

    God is a God who wants to protect and defend us from wrong and error. So the warning against superstition is for our benefit and protection.

    SUPERSTITIONS “You must not boil a kid in its mother’s milk” (Exodus 23: 19). The people of God, the Israelites were about to enter the Promised Land.

    Are we saved by faith or baptism? This is an extra sermon in our 3 on 3 series.

    You know how some sermons are just easy to listen to? Maybe they hit on a subject you were just wondering about, or they address a need you felt but hadn’t put a name to, or they re-affirm something you believed but didn’t have the words for.
