    Be Supportive Of Other Churches Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Oct 30, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,263 views

    If we serve the Lord with the impure motive of personal gain, instead of with the intention of leading people to faith in Christ, then we can become self-focused, critical and judgmental of other believers and other churches.

    The apostle Paul once admonished the Philippians, “Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others” (Philippians 2:3-4). In ...read more

    True Bread From Heaven

    Contributed by Charles Mallory on Aug 1, 2024
     | 1,217 views

    Jesus is the only source of salvation who can bring us forgiven and restored back into an intimate relationship with God the Father. Forsake the world, self, and those things that cannot nourish us spiritually.

    JESUS HAS JUST FINISHED FEEDING THE 5,000 AND IS DEPARTING THE AREA. HE HAD JUST DISPLAYED HIS POWER AND AUTHORITY AND REVEALED THE GLORY OF GOD. ONE WOULD THINK IT WOULD BE SEARED IN THE MEMORY OF ALL 5,000 PEOPLE. NOT QUITE! WE ARE TOLD, BY SCRIPTURE, THAT THEY WERE ACTUALLY A BIT OFFENDED THAT ...read more

    Then Were The Disciples Glad When They Saw The Lord Series

    Contributed by Joshua Blackmon on Jul 6, 2025
     | 249 views

    True Christian joy is not rooted in self, others, favorable circumstances, or abstract doctrine—it is rooted in a personal, present encounter with the risen Christ. Joy begins then—when we see Him.

    “Then Were the Disciples Glad When They Saw the Lord” (John 20:20; Based on Chapter 2 of Vance Havner’s The Secret of Christian Joy) Key Text: John 20:20 – “Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord.” Thesis: True Christian joy is not rooted in self, others, favorable circumstances, ...read more

    Validating Our Christian Identity

    Lent is a time in which we engage our interior self with its brokenness, weakness and intentional wrongdoing. We are all sinners, but we are sinners endeavoring to become saints, by our faith and practice.

    Friday after Ash Wednesday 2025 A priest of my acquaintance many years ago was in conversation with a Lutheran minister. He asked the minister if he believed that Martin Luther had made any big mistakes setting up a parallel Christian church. The minister candidly admitted that he thought Luther ...read more

     | 11,606 views

    When we accepted Jesus Christ as our personal Lord and Savior, we were never the same. We became men and women with a mission. For one, we became a bearer of the light to the perishing, to this dark and dying world.

    STEWARDS OF THE LIGHT This message is about being a good steward of the light. When we accepted Jesus Christ as our personal Lord and Savior, we were never the same.

    Living God's Love Series

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Feb 20, 2015
     | 8,191 views

    We love because we belong to God and that's what he does. God's love is sacrificial, self-giving. It's a love that's seen in the way we love because we're his body here on earth.

    Well we saw last week how important it is for us to love one another and here he says it again, but this time with an added couple of reasons. God is Love Twice in this passage he tells us “God is love.” Last week the motivation for loving God and remaining faithful to the gospel was ...read more

    Roadwork Series

    Contributed by Tim Smith on May 28, 2015
     | 5,105 views

    When you think of it, roadwork is a pretty good analogy of the journey of faith. God accepts us where we are but wants us to become like his Son. For most of us, that means there’s serious roadwork to do.

    Road Work Mark 8:34-38 My wife and I used to live Uptown on Octavia Street between Constance and Laurel just two blocks from Tchoupitoulas. At that time, the Port of Orleans was redoing Tchoupitoulas. When the street was dug up, they found that many of the feeder drainage pipes from the ...read more

    The teachers of the law made three errors - they (1) Chose to stick with their self-centred agenda, blinded to that which is obvious; (2) Chose to remain uncommitted, preferring to sit on the fence and take a middle ground; and (3) Chose to believe m
