    Disciple needed to learn the lesson that life is more important than material things. They must learn not to be diverted from their commitment to Jesus by greed for wealth & material possessions. True riches & satisfaction come only from God.

     | 5,436 views

    It is important to restore not only the form of New Testament Christianity, but also the heart of New Testament Christianity. One word that sums up the heart of New Testament Christianity is COMMITMENT.

    Introduction: A. I like the old story told of the preacher and song leader who didn’t like each other very much and refused to cooperate with each other. 1. One week the preacher preached on commitment, and how they should dedicate themselves to service. The song leader then led the ...read more

    1 of 6. Peter recalled some basic justifications for the church's glorifying God. Blood-bought believers are justified in their glorifying/pointing to God. But why?...WHAT’s So GREAT About GOD? God is Great because He offers...

    WHAT’s So GREAT About GOD?-I—1Peter 1:3-12(:3-9; 10-12) Attention: The Congregation Replied! One Sunday, a preacher was speaking on what it would take for the church to become more Christ honoring. He said "If this church is to become better, it must take up it's bed, & ...read more

    What Do I Need To Know About Sex? Series

    Contributed by Curry Pikkaart on Nov 4, 2014
     | 4,000 views

    Since 'sex' is a topic we hear and read about everywhere in our society, doesn't it make sense we hear about it in church as well?

    “Getting A Clue: What Do I Need to Know About Sex?” Gen. 2:18-25; 1 Cor. 6:12-20 I imagine today’s sermon title, “What Do I Need to Know About Sex”- raised some eyebrows – and maybe even some temperatures. Some perhaps stayed away – some perhaps came ...read more

    At first glance the book of Numbers reads a bit like an operations manual. It’s got numbers of soldiers, lists of names, and a bit of repetition. Tucked between those lists and numbers are some stories of real people, dealing with real issues of faith!

    BETWEEN THE NUMBERS ENEMIES Numbers 16:1-35 -Years ago I was talking to a woman about a situation she was in. -She was describing someone that was causing problems her in life and was asking me for advice. -And she used A WORD that shocked me! -People are usually pretty careful about what words ...read more

    Ever since Jesus ascended back to heaven, His return has been eminent. Ever since that day, you could have said, “Jesus can return at any moment.” God wants His children to live like they expect Jesus to return at any time.

    Vashti reminds us that in a world of money, sex, power, and applause, the foundation of true greatness is moral integrity. But when you run against the kings of our world, when you stand for what is right, history will never be the same.

    I know you remember your wedding. Mine was memorable not because I married the prettiest girl in the world, but because of the circumstances. For the reception we were prepared to feed around 250 people, but more than 500 came so… no seating place. We had to clean the place for the second ...read more

    There is a saying that goes: once saved always saved. But is there any truth to that?

    You cannot lose your salvation, but can you walk away from it? Beloved, when it come to the words: “DO NOT” many of us have a problem with those words. Do not touch do not go do not pass do not take do not give do not gossip. Many have no respect or fear and I mean are not afraid of ...read more
