    Why Bad Things Happen To Good People

    Contributed by David Smith on Feb 26, 2008
    based on 6 ratings
     | 5,889 views

    It’s the age-old theological question - why do bad things happen to good people? Jesus, as ever, doesn’t give us the response we expect. ...

    They say that philosophy deals with two sorts of questions: * Questions to which everybody knows the answer (eg. Do I really exist?). * Questions to which nobody knows the answer (eg. Why do I exist?). Religious teachers tend to deal the same sorts of questions, perhaps particularly questions ...read more

    The Steps Of Following Jesus PRO Sermon

    based on 3 ratings
     | 1,198 views

    As Christians, we must strive for an honest understanding of who Jesus is, take decisive action in response to His call, and deliberately share the Gospel with others, as modeled by the early disciples.

    Good morning, brothers and sisters! It's a joy to be with you all today as we dive into God's Word together. Today, we'll be exploring a passage that illustrates three key elements of our Christian walk: honest understanding, decisive action, and deliberate sharing of the Gospel. As David Platt ...read more

    Are You Going To Relent?

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Mar 9, 2021
     | 5,261 views

    Many times we face unexpected disappointments, especially when we have been praying and it seems like our prayers are not being answered. What should be our response now?

    Tonight, we’re going to look at a familiar passage of scripture – Jeremiah 29. And the message tonight has three parts. The first part will be encouragement. The second part is going to be a reminder. And the third part is going to be a challenge. In Jeremiah 29 we know the background for this ...read more

    Finding Our Way Back

    Contributed by Terry Hovey on May 9, 2025
     | 528 views

    They’ll say that this verse cannot be applied to us today, but my response to that is, “Doesn’t the Bible tell us that everything that is recorded in the past was given to us today as an example?”

    Finding Our Way Back 2 Chronicles 7:14 Our Sunday School lesson today covered 2 Chronicles 7:1-7, 11 which describes the conclusion of Solomon's dedication of the temple. Where after Solomon’s prayer of dedication, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and sacrifices. The ...read more

    Bastazo!

    Contributed by Charles Mallory on Aug 30, 2019
     | 2,626 views

    Bastazo is the Greek verb meaning to "bear" or "to take up in order to carry." It can also mean to support or sustain. As Christians we are to help each other through all of life's many challenges.

    A POWERFUL STATEMENT OF CHRISTIAN SOLIDARITY COMES IN ACTS 4:32, THAT PROCLAIMS, “ALL THE BELIEVERS WERE ONE IN HEART AND MIND. NO ONE CLAIMED THAT ANY OF THEIR POSSESSIONS WAS THEIR OWN, BUT THEY SHARED EVERYTHING THEY HAD…AND GOD’S GRACE WAS SO POWERFULLY AT WORK IN THEM ALL THAT THERE WERE NO ...read more

    The Ministry Gifts

    Contributed by Jeff Van Wyk on Mar 11, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,396 views

    The five-fold ministry resulted from Christ’s ascension to heaven. These gifts were released by Christ during His ascension and are therefore also known as the ascension gifts. The full expression of the ministry of Jesus requires the full 5-fold ministry

    The Ministry Gifts Ephesians 4:7-8 - But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ’s gift. Therefore He says: “When He ascended on high, He led captivity captive, And gave gifts to men.” Ephesians 4:11-16 - And He Himself gave some to be apostles, ...read more

    Why Are We Here? Series

    Contributed by Brad Bailey on Jul 22, 2009
     | 5,242 views

    The very reason we gather is in response to the Divine call of God and His purposes. The problem is that the ideas we associate with “church” can come to mean so much less.

    Why are you here? That’s the question I want to begin with today. We might naturally divide that question as to whether it refers to being here in terms of existing… or being here in this gathering. I’m referring to BOTH our purpose for being here in terms of existing… as well as being ...read more

    Freedom And The Fruits Of The Spirit (June 30, 2019)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Mar 2, 2021
     | 3,385 views

    Paul preached about God’s grace whereas his opponents preached contrary to Paul’s message arguing that the law required circumcision. Why would a prisoner who has been granted freedom want to return to prison?

    FREEDOM AND THE FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT Text: Galatians 5:1, 13-26 Galatians 5:1, 13-16:  For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.  …  (13)  For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as ...read more

    We'll all influence over 10,000 people in our lifetimes. Experts say the average lost person requires 16 exposures to Christianity before reaching believing faith. Will you be one of the links in their chain to believe?

    ONE LINK IN THE CHAIN 1 Cor. 3:6 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A preacher died and found himself in line at the Pearly Gates. Ahead of him was a guy who’s dressed in sunglasses, a loud shirt, leather jacket, and jeans. 2. Saint Peter asked the guy, “Who are you, so that I may know whether or not ...read more

    When reference is made to the call of God it is in simple definition, “an identifiable Spiritual purpose or objective for your life. It is to demand or request one’s presence; to name; to appoint to a specific duty; to invite response.

    Observations On Obedience

    Contributed by Donnie Martin on May 27, 2004
    based on 38 ratings
     | 5,613 views

    God?s requirement of obedience is not something He does to us, but something He does for us. Though today?s world may see living without rules as a dream, it would only result in destruction.

    Observations On Obedience Text: Deut.6: 24 Intro: Obedience is not a topic dealt with too often these days. We hear a lot about options, but not much about obedience. The former term implies no set standard to follow, while the latter implies the existence of some absolutes. The “no ...read more

    based on 10 ratings
     | 5,361 views

    To truly understand what is important in life requires one to have a grip on what is important. In our materialistic society, we think a plethora of possessions is important, but Jesus taught his disciples and teaches us differently.

    Things Sometimes Get Messy!

    Contributed by W Pittendreigh on Oct 14, 2003
    based on 94 ratings
     | 12,187 views

    Life is hard, unfair, and sometimes just plain messy! It requires sacrifice! This is true even of God, who sent His Son as a Sacrifice -- a lamb -- who would pay the price for the injustice, sinful messiness of humanity.

    Isa 53:1-12 1 Who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed? 2 He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him. 3 He was despised and ...read more
