    Wherever groups of people are gathered you can observe behaviors revealing a universal "search for significance." The group may be political, commercial, social or even religious, but the signs will be there. The drive for significance seems to be a part

    Fooled By A Prophet Series

     | 7,652 views

    Prophetic messages on the Internet are abundant posing new challenges as well as possible benefits. Pastors must equip their congregations to test these messages using biblical principles. This series teaches principles for doing that. This message uses lessons from the story in 1 Kings 13.

    Intro Last week we taught on the subject of testing prophecy. How do we know that a dream, a vision, a word that someone is sharing is truly from the Lord? And even if it is from the Lord, are we interpreting it correctly and applying it wisely. We found that all three aspects of a prophecy must ...read more

    Empires In Collision: Christ And Caesar

    Contributed by Michael Bird on May 11, 2003
    based on 57 ratings
     | 11,399 views

    This sermon sets out to examine Mk 12:13-17 not in terms on Church-State relationships but rather by illucidating its socio-religious context and its application for God’s image bearers today.

    EMPIRES IN COLLISION: CHRIST AND CAESAR Mark 12:13-17 13 And they sent to him some of the Pharisees and some of the Herodians, to trap him in his talk. 14 And they came and said to him, “Teacher, we know that you are true and do not care about anyone’s opinion. For you are not swayed by ...read more

    Where Is The Lord God Of Elijah? (1 Of 2)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jan 5, 2022
     | 2,576 views

    As I read through this passage, it appears that Elijah is testing Elisha. Look at verse 2. He said to Elisha, “...Tarry here, I pray thee; for the Lord hath sent me to Beth-el...”

    But notice Elisha’s response in that same verse, “...As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee...”Then look at verse 4. Elijah seems to test Elisha again. He said, “...tarry here...for the Lord hath sent me to Jericho...” Again, same verse, Elisha responds, “...As ...read more

    Is The New Testament Reliable Series

    Contributed by David Dewitt on Apr 3, 2004
    based on 27 ratings
     | 4,046 views

    The New Testament is the best source of historical information from the time period of Jesus and it stands the test of scutiny. Therefore it is not only reliable it is the most reliable document of its kind!

    Is the New Testament a reliable source of information? The four gospels (Matthew, mark, Luke and John) give us a biography for the life of Jesus and they provide us with a wealth of information. One statement that I heard just recently is that the gospels were written as a way to communicate faith ...read more

    Are We To Judge? Series

    Contributed by Eddie Snipes on Apr 11, 2002
    based on 65 ratings
     | 10,310 views

    The Bible commands us to test all things. Why does the Bible command us to judge while warning us not to judge? This study takes a deeper look at this topic.

    Are We to Judge? In recent years there has been a shift in the church concerning the idea of judging. If we attempt to point out something that is scripturally wrong we will frequently hear comments like ’judge not, lest you be judged’. Does the Bible tell us that we are not allowed to judge ...read more

    God tested Abraham to ensure that Abraham’s devotion was still sound, and to free Abraham from the snare of making an idol out of something that was given by God as a gift.

    In her book, “When I Lay My Isaac Down,” Carol Kent tells her story of a devastating event in their family. She recounts how her and her husband were enjoying a night together and shared their joy by saying, “does life get any better than this?” Everything was going well ...read more

     | 10,643 views

    The story of Sarai, Hagar, and Abram is really a story about how people deal with issues of faith . . . especially when our faith is being tested by God’s providence.

    God’s Providence: Whose Son are You? Scripture: Galatians 4:21-31 Genesis 16:1-4; 21:8-14 Yesterday, as I was reviewing the scriptures in Genesis, I noticed something that hadn’t struck me before.

    Often when faced with obstacles and tests as Christians, we tend to respond by what we feel or think but Scripture teaches us a better way - a way to always be victorious.

    Introduction: By simply being human beings we are going to face struggles throughout our lives. Some will be small and we’ll barely notice them but others will seem like tsunamis that threaten to drown us. As Christians these struggles take on a different air. Yes, even those who are not ...read more

    As Abraham journeyed as a stranger in a foreign land his faith was tested and sometimes faltered. What do we do when our faith falters. It's part of the journey.

    AS A STRANGER IN A FOREIGN LAND FALTERING FAITH Genesis 12:6-9 Abram passed through the land to the place of Shechem, as far as the terebinth tree of Moreh. And the Canaanites were then in the land. Then the LORD appeared to Abram and said, “To your descendants I will give this land.” And there ...read more
