    Fellowshipping With The Father And The Son - Part 6

    Contributed by Chuck Brooks on Jul 20, 2020
     | 1,220 views

    When people say they have no sin they are claiming sinless perfection and moral relativism. We are living in a culture that says it has no sin.

    Review The Gnostics were the false teachers who believed matter to be evil, the spirit good, and salvation to come by secret knowledge (gnosis) granted to those who were part of their clique. John is teaching all of this to combat a heresy circulated by the Gnostics called ...read more

    In Esther, we will learn that God is at work in spite of appearances. Often it is behind the scenes, quietly weaving circumstances together in order to bring about His will for our good and His glory.

    For Such a Time as This: A Queen Says No Esther 1:9-21 Pastor Jefferson M. Williams Chenoa Baptist Church 07-19-2020 Party Animal Last week, we began our study of the book of Esther and found ourselves looking in on not one but two huge parties.

    This morning, we come to the fifth petition – forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. This is the only petition with a human response and the only one that Jesus actually elaborates on. The first part of this verse is incredible news. The second part is terrifying.

    John wanted his readers to stop denying their sin and to start confessing their sins.

    (1 John 1:8 NKJV) If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. John didn't want his readers to be led astray by the Gnostic heresy of sinless perfection. Last time we learned that the fact is, we do sin, and continue to say we have no sin is a sign of ...read more

    Habakkuk’s praise was not dependent upon his circumstances and neither should our praise be dependent upon our circumstances. Even if our whole world is coming unglued, we will praise and worship Almighty God. Even if we lose everything, we will rejoice in the LORD and spin around in joy.

    I don’t know exactly when … it was about four or five years ago … I came across an interesting documentary while I was surfing the web. I wish I had written the title down … I probably did and lost it. Anyways, I don’t remember the title but I do remember the documentary. It was a fascinating ...read more

    Joseph’s Obedience Series

    Contributed by Scott Turansky on Jan 1, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,125 views

    Joseph is the unsung hero of Christ's early life. Through obedience, he impacted Mary, he impacted Jesus, he impacted the other children, and I think he impacted Jesus’ entire ministry.

    Sometimes there's words that we just don't like. Sometimes it's because of the way they sound. Some sound weird or sometimes they conjure up something kind of gross. One word that I don't like is the word ‘maggot.’ Really, if you think of maggots, is anything pleasant ever really ...read more

     | 13,940 views

    This story is about how Christians can access God’s blessings for every area of our lives. It is not so much about forgiveness of sin, which we all need, but it's more about the method God has for deliverance in every area of life. God is a deliverer.
