    based on 1 rating
     | 14,104 views

    The Church at Laodicea, a church, it seems, with no redeeming qualities. Luke warm, every church was commended for something, except the Laodicean church. Are we like the Laodicean church?

    Revelation 3:14 - 22 I. Introduction A. The city of Laodicea was almost due East of Ephesus about 120 miles or so on a major trade route in Asia 1. The city was a banking center and so a very wealthy city a. The city was also the site of mineral springs which could only be tolerated if ...read more

    Why does our human frailty hesitate to believe that mankind will one day live with God?

    Tuesday of Easter Week 2019 In Monday of Holy Week, the Divine Office gives us a snippet from one of St. Augustine’s sermons. He asks, “Why does our human frailty hesitate to believe that mankind will one day live with God?” Christ gave us the gift of His own death, so why would He not in love ...read more

    Surrendered To The Savior Series

     | 11,989 views

    Jesus offered a convicting mandate - take up your cross and follow me! In that culture the cross was not westernized like it is in our culture as a fashion statement. It meant death.

    Surrendered to the Savior Mark 8: 34-38 For the past few weeks we have discussed some intense conversation between Jesus and the disciples. He had questioned them regarding His deity and their acceptance of Him as the Christ. While others had a skewed perception of Christ, Peter boldly, and ...read more

    Ephesians 3:1-6 teaches us that God calls a Christian to die to self and to live for others.

    Scripture Today I am starting a new series on Ephesians 3 that I am calling, "Proclaiming the Unsearchable Riches of Christ." The ESV Study Bible notes: "There are two main themes of Ephesians: (1) Christ has reconciled all creation to himself and to God, and (2) Christ has united people from all ...read more

    Obadiah - The Pride Of Your Heart Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 24,482 views

    Don't let pride blinds you to the need of God and the needs of others. Be humble and faithful. We need God's grace and mercy. As we are led by God, let us do the will of God and be instruments of blessings for others.

    Obadiah reveals God’s stern words to Edom, a nation South of Judah. • The Edomites were the descendants of Esau, the brother of Jacob. Esau and Jacob are the twin sons of Isaac. • Remember, Jacob cheated his brother for the father’s blessing? The two brothers were in ...read more

    Jesus' teaching on discipleship in Luke 9:23-27 shows us what is involved in being a disciple of Jesus.

    Scripture We have come to what one commentator called “a turning point in Luke’s Gospel.” In the first part of his Gospel, Luke demonstrated the identity of Jesus. Then Peter, on behalf of the twelve disciples, confessed Jesus as the Christ (9:18-20). From this point on now Luke ...read more

    Wanted: Dead And Alive

    Contributed by Mark Opperman on Jan 15, 2014
     | 5,386 views

    Things should become different in our lives once we renounce our former life of sin and selfishness. Our union with Christ enables us to live our lives completely for Him.

    Wanted: Dead and Alive Romans 6:1-13 What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? 2 By no means! We died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? 3 Or don't you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4 We were ...read more

    Your going to need a fierce, aggressive and forceful attitude to beat sin!

    I beat my body! 1 Corinthians 9:27’I beat my body and enslave it, so that after proclaiming to others I myself should not be disqualified.’ Your going to need a fierce, aggressive and forceful attitude to beat sin! Watch what Apostle Paul said, ’I beat my body and bring it ...read more

    When we die to ourselves only then are we truly alive.

    4 Therefore, since Christ suffered in his body, arm yourselves also with the same attitude, because he who has suffered in his body is done with sin. 2 As a result, he does not live the rest of his earthly life for evil human desires, but rather for the will of God. Since Christ Suffered Jesus ...read more

    Dumb Dogs Series

    Contributed by C. Philip Green on May 14, 2013
     | 8,123 views

    Jesus is not impressed with the outward trappings of self-righteousness. He is impressed with a heart full of simple faith, which we find most often in the hearts of those we least expect. So like Jesus feed the "dogs" and touch the "dumb."

    Dumb Dogs (Mark 7:24-37) I like this thought posted by Mike Atkinson in his daily email humor list some time ago. "If you can start the day without caffeine; if you can get going without pep pills; if you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains; if you can resist complaining and boring ...read more

    What Does It Mean To Count The Cost Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jun 30, 2013
     | 7,395 views

    A look at what it means to "count the cost" and why that's so essential. This message calls down the cheap gospel presentations that we so often make that have no mention in them of what it actually means to follow Jesus.

    CHEAP FAITH: Too often we offer salvation that’s straight from the discount bin. - Luke 14:28-32. - Our approach to evangelism is too often to present salvation as a low-cost, no-commitment offer. All you need to do is say you believe in Jesus! That’s it! There’s no mention of the need for ...read more
