     | 785 views

    Some important things here. Firstly, the church business meetings! The trouble these have caused. We look at Pastors’ and elders’ wives and behaviour. What about the leaders’ kids running around unsupervised? All dealings must be impartial. Must teach on Christian responsibility.

This next subject is near the end in the collection I had, but for some churches it can be a nightmare. I am going to share some ...read more

    Being a good father or mother is one of life’s most important privileges. But being a father or mother is also one of life’s most difficult responsibilities. It is easy to become a biological father, but hard to become a really good father. Some of you we

    Cage fighting is a particularly gruesome way of fighting, and yet Paul used the fighting of his day (more brutal than MMA) to describe Timothy's responsibilities. What could we possibly learn from MMA that could make us better servants of Christ?

    How many of you know the meaning of these letters used to describe a sporting event: MMA? (Mix Martial Arts). It’s kind of like boxing where the contestants not only hit each other with their fists, but also with their feet and knees and elbows. It’s also called “Cage ...read more

     | 2,586 views

    God loves discipleship small groups. He just calls them families. Thus our #1 Priority in response to the Greatest Commandment is to do everything we can to lead our own children, & the children of the church family, into a personal relationship with Jesus.

    Your Family’s Place in the Eternal Purpose of God (If only we knew what the # 1 Purpose of Family is!) “Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, & with all thy soul, & with all thy mind. This is the 1st ...read more

     | 1,479 views

    The sermon explores the self-giving love and forgiveness of Jesus, demonstrated through his response to mockery and persecution during his crucifixion, as depicted in Luke 23:33-43, Psalm 22:7-8, 15, 18, 24, and Matthew 5:39, 44.

    Welcome church! Today we’re going to look at a passage from the Gospel of Luke involving the crucifixion. We talk a lot about crucifixion as Christians because the cross is a central part of our faith. In 2004, the movie The Passion of the Christ was released. It’s a movie about the final hours of ...read more

    As we continue in the Beatitudes we come to the Pure in Heart. Can a person be pure in heart while on this earth? Will ONLY the pure in heart see God and if so how can we come to the point where we have a pure heart?

    The Pure In Heart Please stand with me as we go over our current memory Scripture: Matthew 5:6-8 “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.

    The Eternal Destiny Of Those Who've Never Heard The Gospel Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 12, 2021
     | 3,030 views

    Charles Spurgeon was once asked his opinion about those who had never heard of Jesus or the gospel. His response sting rings true today: “How can they be saved without ever hearing about Jesus? We should rather ask, how can we be saved if we do nothing to take the gospel to them?”

    What is the fate of those who have never heard the gospel? What about the innocent person in a far-away land that has never heard of Jesus? Are they thrown into hell even if they haven’t heard of Jesus? Another way of asking this question is this: how does God deal with people who have different ...read more

    Do you trust what you hear? You hear something, your ears pick it up, but you don’t quite trust that you’ve heard it right? Sometimes that’s because there is a speaker making rash statements and offering foolish promises. You may have thought that about some preacher! Did he really say that? ...read more

    "Train yourself in godliness, 8for, while physical training is of some value, godliness is valuable in every way, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come."
