    A Troublesome Verse And A Glorious Future

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jan 29, 2023
     | 1,048 views

    What did Paul mean when he wrote about a "baptism for the dead" in 1 Corinthians 15:29? How should it be interpreted? What does it mean in light of further teaching on the resurrection of Christ? Let Scripture speak concerning these and other matters of the faith.

    1 Corinthians is a letter dealing with what could be referred to as a "schizophrenic" church. It had become a crazy quilt of pride, drunkenness, sexual deviancy, arrogance, abuse of spiritual gifts, and personal favoritism towards teachers who had been with them, such as Paul, Peter, ...read more

    We are only free when the Son sets us free; but we are free to choose whether or not we will be made free.

    Freedom Galatians 5:1 Freedom is one thing that everyone everywhere, and at all time desires. We are only free when the Son sets us free; but we are free to choose whether or not we will be made free. Imagine being given a check for a million dollars and never cashing it. Imagine having a ...read more

    Sin Is A Heart Problem! Series

    Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Aug 3, 2014
     | 7,844 views

    How God tells you to live is infinitely more important than how others think you should live! This is what Pharisees couldn't grasp. The challenge for us also is: Do not get a big head about it and become arrogant and/or unteachable.

    Sin … It’s a Heart Problem! Mark 7:8-23, 1 John 1:8-10 Introduction - Jesus is demonstrated in this book as a “servant” -- Key verse: Mark 10:45, “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for ...read more

    Belonging To Another Series

    Contributed by Mark Opperman on Aug 29, 2011
     | 5,049 views

    We can try to live by a code of rules or we can live by a relationship. We could put it this way: True release comes from a relationship with Jesus, not from rules.

    Belonging to Another Romans 7:1-6 1 Do you not know, brothers-- for I am speaking to men who know the law-- that the law has authority over a man only as long as he lives? 2 For example, by law a married woman is bound to her husband as long as he is alive, but if her husband dies, she is ...read more

    Wise Men Still Seek Him

     | 17,937 views

    Worship is about who, not what. It is about giving, not getting. It is about encounter, not ritual.

    Listen to what the Scriptures say. Wise men from the East came seeking for Jesus. • Through the study of the stars and the revelation of the Holy Spirit, they were enlightened to know that the Messiah, King of the Jews was born, in Israel. • They came seeking and inquiring, and was told to go to ...read more

    A Call To Live For God

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on May 10, 2025
     | 656 views

    Living for God is not merely a religious ritual—it is a lifestyle of surrender, obedience, and transformation.

    A CALL TO LIVE FOR GOD By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Romans 12:1-2 – "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye ...read more

    Know Your Profits And Losses Series

    Contributed by Curry Pikkaart on Jul 23, 2015
     | 5,026 views

    We either believe that Jesus Christ alone is sufficient for a life of faith or He is not.

    “Living a Joy-Full Life: Know Your Profits and Losses” Phil. 3:1-11 I recall a conversation that took place during a Consistory meeting of another church I served. It was about requirements for who should serve on Consistory. Some wanted to add guidelines to what the Scriptures have ...read more

    Jesus came to set us free... but free from what? And free to do what?

    The Lord's Supper Series

    Contributed by D Marion Clark on Dec 22, 2012
     | 9,040 views

    We see how Jesus transformed a ritual, meant to commemorate the greatest deliverance of God’s people, into a new ritual to commemorate and give assurance that the sacrifice he was about to make would bring about a far greater deliverance.

    Introduction Last week we studied the “last supper” that Jesus had with his disciples. We noted how Jesus was in control of the events that were leading to his sacrifice as the Passover Lamb. This morning we will see how he transformed a ritual, meant to commemorate the greatest ...read more

     | 6,413 views

    A message that examines the close parallel between the ancient Hebrew wedding ritual and the marriage of Christ and the Church.

    Pt 7: The Rapture of the Bride (part 2) The Hebrew Wedding and the Rapture As I pointed out in my last message ('The Rapture of the Bride pt 1'), there appears to be significant misunderstanding concerning the nature and purpose of the Lord's 'parousia' ...read more

    Our security in the face of an awesomely holy God is no longer in elaborate rituals and barriers but in Jesus Christ.

    As you all know I flew to Minneapolis between Christmas and New Year’s. And since the terror alert is at orange, inspections are more thorough and lines are longer. Also both the Minneapolis and Philadelphia airports have X-ray machines for the checked baggage. Fortunately the standards aren’t so ...read more

    Luke highlighted Jesus' fulfillment of various rituals in the temple and the prophecies of Simeon and Anna that followed.

    Introduction The text explained what happened after the birth of Jesus Christ. I. Jesus Receives Circumcision (v. 21) Jesus, after being born into this world, received circumcision like any other Jewish child, on the eighth day. It was likely Joseph who performed the circumcision.

    The passing of old things, and the ushering in of new.

    NEW WINE WITH JESUS. John 2:1-11. The Gospel of John provides us with an unashamedly theological overview of the person of Christ. We are introduced to our Lord under the Genesis motif “in the beginning” (John 1:1), and as the Word made flesh (John 1:14). Throughout the book, John’s preferred ...read more
