    Rejoice In The Lord

    Contributed by Barnabas Park on May 9, 2025
     | 603 views

    "Rejoice in the Lord" is a vital safeguard for believers, strengthening their faith and anchoring them in God’s truth. It is not just a choice but a divine calling—an essential posture of worship and a defining mark of Kingdom people, living with purpose to fulfill God's mission.

    “Rejoice in the Lord” “Finally, my brothers and sisters, rejoice in the Lord! To write the same things to you is no trouble to me and is safe for you.” (Philippians 3:1, ESV) “That’s about it, friends. Be glad in God!

     | 18,001 views

    This is the reworking of a sermon I wrote several years ago. The Church is: 1. The church is a fellowship. 2. The church is a family. 3. The church is a flock. 4. The church is a body.

Follow along with me as I read: "Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, He was asking His disciples, "Who do people say that the Son of Man is?" And they said, "Some say John the Baptist; and others, ...read more

     | 2,504 views

    I am amazed at the way educated people in America flock to see and hear gurus and other Eastern spiritual leaders whose teaching cannot change the human heart.

    1/2/19 Tom Lowe IVD2 WHILE HAVING APPEARANCES OF WISDOM, SUCH PRACTICES HAVE NO VALUE (COL. 2:23) Scripture: Colossians 2:23 (NIV) Such regulations indeed have an appearance of wisdom, with their self-imposed worship, their false humility and their harsh treatment of the body, but they lack ...read more

    Notice in verse 8…That night, in a field near Bethlehem,… Many scholars believe that these could be the same fields where sacrificial flocks were kept for temple worship.

    The very people who are called to protect and feed the sheep have instead used their positions of authority to fleece the flock, exploiting them in order to make themselves rich and comfortable.

    Dakota Community Church November 23, 2014 Sheep Without Shepherds The metaphorical connection between shepherds and kings was a common one in the Old Testament.

    The Church Of Tolerance

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jan 9, 2006
    based on 30 ratings
     | 7,945 views

    In our society today, tolerance is considered a virtue. But our definition of it has changed - and accepting and even applauding any and every practice will weaken and pollute our lives. Learn how to safeguard your church and your life from compromise.

    When I read verses 18-29 I picture a church in turmoil - a good church with good people that has been infiltrated with those who would exploit weakness and draw off believers into immorality. The good people stand by and watch - and mourn. The church in Thyatira was small - and sometimes in a small ...read more

    9th in long series on Joshua, 2nd of 2 on mass circumcision in ch.5. This deals with being a part of a family, using the well-used illustration of a flock of geese.

    Joshua 5:1-9 – Family Ties (Nowheres near an original thought, but good nonetheless...) Today I’d like to do something different. Today’s a bit different from most, so I’m putting a twist on my scripture today, out of the ordinary for me anyway. Let’s read Joshua 5:1-9. So the Israelites ...read more
