    A Humble Beginning

    Contributed by Chris Kelly on Jul 31, 2010
     | 8,921 views

    In this passage, we see God’s providence working in at least 3 ways… 1. The TIMING of His birth 2. The PLACE of His birth and 3. The NATURE of His birth…

    A Humble Beginning Series: Beginnings of a Legacy December 20, 2009 As I was re-reading the story of Jesus’ birth, (for the billionth time)… I was amazed at how no matter how many times I read it, God always has something new to show me, that I’ve never seen before! This time as ...read more

    When we are envious or jealous of the life someone else has, we show we are not grateful for what God has given us. Also a section that deals with the issue of Interracial marriage found in this passage.

    There was once a young man decided to join a monastery that had a vow of silence. The monks were not allowed to speak with the exception of their birthday.

    Everyone Has Needs

     | 5,683 views

    The story of Peter, Peter's mother-in-law and the crown in this passage from Mark describe three different perspectives, but different needs as well. We all have needs and our greatest need is a savior.

    Introduction The author Stephen W. Sorenson wrote in Discipleship Journal: For two years, because of severe tendinitis in both wrists, I could not pick up my young daughter, carry a log, or even open a twist-off pop bottle. To make matters worse, my wife and I, with help from family and friends, ...read more

    The Inheritance Of The Believer

    based on 1 rating
     | 10,403 views

    Knowing what awaits believers in heaven gives us confidence in what comes next. In this passage Peter is very descriptive concerning what life will be like for those who trust in Christ for eternal life.

    THE INHERITANCE OF THE BELIEVER 1 Peter 1:3-5 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does ...read more

    Sexual Immorality Series

    Contributed by Bruce B. Miller on Jun 7, 2012
    based on 4 ratings
     | 14,725 views

    Two words dominate the biblical passage we will study today: sexual sin and body. How does God view them? Paul gives us great insight in 1 Corinthians chapter six.

    Sexual Immorality 1 Corinthians 6:12-20 Two words dominate the biblical passage we will study today: sexual sin and body. Our culture is desperately confused and distorted about our bodies and sexuality. We wildly swing from obsession over bodies to neglect of our bodies, from anorexia to ...read more

    Contributed by H.b. Charles Jr. on Dec 6, 2012
    based on 8 ratings
     | 26,310 views

    "When Duty Calls" is an exposition of Jesus' instructions to his disciples in Luke 17:1-10. This passage teaches that obedience to Jesus requires holy fear, unlimited forgiveness, genuine faith, and total submission.

    WHEN DUTY CALLS Luke 17:1-10 On July 4, 1976, Israeli commandos made a daring on the Entebbe International Airport, rescuing 103 Jewish hostages. In 15 minutes, the soldiers killed the seven kidnappers and set the captives free. But three hostages were also killed during Operation Entebbe. As the ...read more

    The passage of James deals with the topic of prayer for the follower of Jesus Christ. Prayer is an essential lifeblood of the church. Great things are wrought through prayer and no great endeavor for the cause of Christ can be completed without prayer.

    PROPER PRAYER JAMES 5:13-18 INTRODUCTION: The passage of James deals with the topic of prayer for the follower of Jesus Christ. Prayer is an essential lifeblood of the church.

    Three Things Series

    Contributed by Ken Henson on Aug 30, 2012
    based on 30 ratings
     | 18,888 views

    How do we introduce people? In this passage, we see John, the baptist and Jesus introduced in such graceful ways. May our words of introduction too be words of blessing, words of power, peace and grace!

    Three Things: Matthew 3:1-17 ILLUSTRATION There was a young student who had just graduated with his M.Th, fresh with his knowledge of New Testament and Greek. He was asked to introduce a colleague who had come to visit from Germany. This colleague was a pastor there. He knew what the ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,891 views

    This wonderful passage of Scripture gives us an accreditation of ministry. It seems like there is much that opposes God’s work today just as there was opposition against the labors of the Apostle Paul in his work with Jesus Christ.

    Turn your Bibles to 2 Corinthians 3:2-4 Title: Enjoying Christ’s Epistle Among Us Theme: Christ Working In and Through Doris Stump Series: Pillars of the Local Church Listen as I read 2 Corinthians 3:2-4, “You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by everybody.

    Today in our passage of Scripture we’re going to see Jesus sharing w/His followers that He is always w/them; that He’ll never abandon them or leave them alone.

    “God Is with Me” John 14: 15-18 July 16, 2006 Intro: Bob and Lynne weren’t what they would consider good neighbors, but when they saw a moving van in front of the house across the street, they decided to change their ways.

    Hypocrisy

    Contributed by Lou Nicholes on Nov 19, 2004
    based on 7 ratings
     | 2,805 views

    It seems that this passage describes God’s indictment of all hypocrites, regardless of race or religion, culture or creed. Both Jews and Gentiles are included in this discussion, but the Gentile often appears in a better light than the Jew.

    THOUGHTS ABOUT THE PASSAGE: Despite the mind-numbing brutality of the Joseph Stalin regime in the Soviet Union, his propaganda machine did its job well. Many Russians hailed him as a hero and a savior, including a young school girl who was chosen on one occasion to greet Stalin. Years later, this ...read more

    Stand Firm Series

    Contributed by Neil Olcott on Sep 10, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,613 views

    The sentence structure in the Greek proves that often we place the emphasis on the wrong thing in this passage. The emphasis is not on the armor, but on standing. The armor is simply a tool that we are to use to carry out God’s command, "STAND."

    Text: Ephesians 6:10-20 Title: Stand Firm INTRODUCTION: Archibald Naismith tells us that at the Battle of Waterloo, when the fight became its worst, an officer galloped up to the Commander, the Duke of Wellington and said, "my Captain says we are being destroyed, we need reinforcements quickly." ...read more

    “because The Enemy Has Said…”

    Contributed by John Gaston on Mar 22, 2015
     | 7,654 views

    The devil loves to boast, to brag. God however, is jealous for His Name and reputation.In our passage tonight we see to what lengths God will go to short-circuit the enemy from a victory.

    “BECAUSE THE ENEMY HAS SAID…” 1 Kgs. 20:23-28 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: HOW MANY CHICKENS 1. Boudreaux spots Thibodeaux walking down the levee the other day, carrying a sack over his shoulder. 2. Well of course, curiosity got the best of Boudreaux, and he asked Thibodeaux, "Hey, ...read more

    Mirror, Mirror On The Wall; Do I Look Like Christ At All? James 1:19-25 Series

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Aug 26, 2015
     | 8,419 views

    In this passage James speaks to us about "human" anger and the moral filth of the world. He then compares the Word of God to a spiritual mirror that we need to look into intently if we desire to be spiritually presentable to God.

    Today, we’ll be taking a look at James 1:19-25 James 1:19-25 “My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires. ...read more

    Rendering To God What Is His

    based on 1 rating
     | 7,058 views

    "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar, and to God the things that are God’s." A great text for teaching about paying your taxes, but an even better passage to remind us of our commitment to Jesus Christ.

    Matt 22:15-22 (parallels in Mark 12:13–17 and Luke 20:20–26) The Jews were desperately seeking to discredit Jesus, because within the context, He was speaking parables against them. They would stop at nothing to do so. Within the context of this verse, various groups ask Him questions ...read more
