    To call people to a true and living faith.

    A True Faith Luke 11:37-44 Primary Purpose: To call people to a true and living faith When you think of a Pharisee, what comes to mind? You don’t think of someone fun and enjoyable to be around. Most of us think of someone like Jesus encountered: stern, legalistic, cruel, rigid and judgmental. ...read more

    The Witness Of Poverty

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 30, 2019
     | 3,494 views

    In an era when the contrast between the rich and the poor is most pronounced–our own time–like Francis, we are all called to follow the example of Christ in simplicity and poverty.

    Tuesday of the 4th Week in Lent 2019 San Francisco di Paola One of the dominant themes of both the OT and the NT stories is what we have to look forward to in the kingdom of God. God’s kingdom, when we are confirmed as its citizens after our life on this earth, is a reign of plenty, a restoration ...read more

    God has a role for his people to play, but it is not the role of conqueror, as most had expected. They will be influential in the world only by serving and witnessing to the nations.

    How many of you occasionally fantasize about winning the lottery? You can spend a lot of time making lists of worthy causes and deserving relatives and fabulous vacations and your dream house. In fact, most of us have dreams we play with when reality gets to be just a little too much for us. When I ...read more

    Our Creed

    Contributed by John Telgren on Feb 11, 2017
     | 3,410 views

    It is important to realize that the authority for our faith is from the Lord or our faith, Jesus Christ. Our focus is ultimately not on a creedal system, but upon Christ, whom we follow as our Lord.

    Studying the history of creeds is interesting. The earliest creeds arose in reaction to heretics who were teaching heresy concerning the nature of God and Christ. They served to unite the church in sound doctrine against false teaching. When the church and government became fused, resulting in the ...read more

    "Joy Stealers"

    Contributed by Jerry Depoy on Mar 23, 2003
    based on 161 ratings
     | 14,517 views

    Although Paul was in prison, he remained "joyful." Paul warns us of five different "joy stealers" and offers ways in which to avoid them.

    “JOY STEALERS” Phil. 4:4 “Rejoice in the Lord always, and again I say, rejoice.” It is as much a command to "rejoice always," as it is to "not steal." An unhappy Christian is very unchristlike. Remember that the "Joy of the Lord is our strength." Today we will discuss five things that will ...read more

    The harvest is waiting for us - but will get out there to risk being in the harvest field?

    So Jesus sends His disciples out to the mission field. Luke 10:2 tells us that ‘He told them, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.’ You know people this gospel truth remains, nothing has changed. ...read more

    We are impressed with zeal. Certainly the Jews of Jesus day had tremendous zeal; passion for what they believed. But zeal and passion can easily be focused on the wrong thing.

    So Many Lambs, An Abundance Of Wolves, Too Few Shepherds

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 1, 2024
     | 1,007 views

    The events described in Revelation Chapter 6 describe the terrors that will come upon the earth. The lost are like sheep without a shepherd about to face this horrid time. We must bring them to Jesus before it is too late.

    Bible prophecy is not preached in a majority of churches today. The sad fact is that a lot of "churches" don't bother to preach from the Bible but are more than happy to cater to the unholy trinity of "me, myself, and I". They are in the business of people pleasing and ...read more

    God’s desire is that we be holy and pure. Soap is good for cleansing the outside of the body, but doesn’t get below the skin into the heart.

    INTRODUCTION This message is the first in a series I’m calling “No, that’s NOT in the Bible.” There are dozens of popular sayings floating around that people think are from the Bible and they’re not. There is a great deal of biblical illiteracy in the pews of our churches. Here is a top ten list ...read more

    An examination of the meeting of Jesus and Pontius Pilate and the lessons that can be gained from their encounter, concerning the nature of civil authority and our relationship to it.

    The Jewish authorities wanted Jesus dead but were unwilling to kill Him themselves because they did not wish to lose favor with the common people who believed in Jesus. They wanted Rome to do it. They wanted Rome to take the blame. The evil Jewish authorities played Pontius Pilate like a fiddle to ...read more
