    Faith Or Works? Series

    Contributed by Nickolas Kooi on Sep 12, 2018
    based on 2 ratings
     | 9,970 views

    In James 2, we see one of the most challenging passages of Scripture. However, when seen in context, James' point becomes clear and understood.

    The English language can be a very challenging language to learn. Part of that is because many ordinary words that we use in everyday conversation can have many different meanings. Take the word “run,” for example, which according to dictionary.com, has over 179 different meanings for the word. ...read more

    With Paul home in Tarsus, the narrative focuses once more on Peter. This passage can be viewed as a picture album featuring the ministry of Peter as a traveling preacher.

    A passage of teaching at the Fiji Officers councils 2021. This led to a discussion about what is the good oil that fuels our ministry and keeps us intentional.

    Being intentional: The parable of the ten virgins. Matthew 25:1-13 At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish and five were wise. The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with ...read more

    Pressing On Series

    Contributed by Darryl Klassen on Jan 21, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,098 views

    This is a narrative style sermon intended to bring out the spirit of the passage and give drama and encouragement to listeners to keep "Pressing On" in their walk, or run, of faith.

    KEEP PRESSING ON My first love in preaching is to teach a verse by verse exegesis of the passage. Sometimes the passage is so familiar to the congregation that a different approach is needed to accentuate the truths. To make the passage real for people who are listening and wanting to engage it ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,582 views

    the church has been conflicted for centuries whether we should make oaths or not. What does this passage teach us about oaths?

    Should We Make Oaths? Matthew 5:33-37 This passage is another demonstration of the problem with the teaching of the Scribes and Pharisees. As we have noticed throughout the study, the failure of the Pharisees was more than a failure to practice what they preached. The problem is that they were ...read more

    In a passage that describes Jesus' teaching about our response to injustice and requests for loans, we must remember that Jesus is describing His own life.

    Monday of 11th Week in Course 18 June 2012 Verbum Domini The Word of God is not some naive program to comfort humans in their preconceptions. Both Old Testament and Gospel passages today rub our Christian noses in the reality of evil, and challenge us to take up the hardest labors connected to ...read more

    As we look at these two passages of Scripture this morning, I think we are going to discover three important facts about the work that we do.

    MELVIN NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK I think Labor Day is a kind of strange holiday. And it's difficult for a preacher to know what to preach on Labor Day Sunday. It's not one of the major holidays. Relatives don't come. There is no turkey to eat or presents to ...read more

    What Did Jesus Say Will Complete Our Joy? Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Mar 29, 2022
     | 1,805 views

    In this passage Jesus previews the new era that He is about to bring. Of great importance is the direct relationship with God this will bring and the accompanying great prayer power.

    WE DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT HE IS SAYING: Jesus starts by telling them a major transition is coming. - John 16:16-22. - There is a lot of uncertainty from the disciples about what Jesus is talking about in these sayings. The meaning is hidden to them. - Of course, we know that He is referring ...read more

    The Book Of Mark #62

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 30, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,680 views

    This can be a difficult chapter to understand! It becomes difficult because some of the things the Lord talks about in this passage are BEFORE and some are AFTER the tribulation period.

    You can not take Matthew 24, 25, or Mark 13 and say this is how things are going to happen chronologically. Everything that the Lord said would happen, will happen, but not in the sequence He gives them. Notice, as the disciples were walking with Jesus past the Temple, they commented on the ...read more

    Romans 11:11-24 Gentiles as ingrafted branches This passage describes how Israelites hardened in their unbelief in Christ. It has created an opportunity for Gentile Christians to be ingrafted into God's figurative olive tree. The old branches of unbelieving Jews are cut off, and the new ...read more

    Paul’s Prayer For The Church

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jan 10, 2022
     | 4,046 views

    In this passage of scripture we are going to deal with a prayer that Paul prayed for the Ephesians. This prayer is considered by some as the second most important prayer ever prayed.

    Folks have some strange ideas about prayer. Some folks do not have the slightest idea of what prayer is. Illus: This reminds me of Karin Wotten of Ocala, Florida who tells about the opening exercises of their Vacation Bible School, when they asked for volunteers to pray. One morning, a first ...read more
