  • Give Your Life Away Series

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Apr 5, 2022
     | 1,951 views

    There are at least four core commitments for Christian living: (1) abide in the Word, (2) pray your heart out, (3) be killing sin, and (4) give your life away.

    Our lives tell a story—a story about who we are and what we value, where we’ve come from and where we’re going, what we want and what we’ll do to get it. And what most of us do is, we make “the story” of our lives about us. But God makes “the story” of our lives about Christ. Someone has said, ...read more

  • Christ Alone Should Be Sufficient

     | 2,742 views

    Churches also can look good on the outside, but when you “taste” what they're doing, you find it's only a facade. That was the case with the church in Laodicea.

    How many Coca-Cola drinkers do we have here today? How many Pepsi drinkers? How many of you like Dr Pepper? How many of you like Mr Pibb? Have you ever been in a restaurant and ordered a Dr Pepper and they say they don't sell Dr Pepper but they have Mr Pibb and try to pass it off as the same ...read more

  • Part 2: Blessed Or #blessed? Series

    Contributed by James Jackson on Nov 12, 2021
     | 3,012 views

    The way the world understands being blessed couldn't be more different from the Bible's definition. Spoiler alert: The Bible gets it right.

    Blessed Broken Given, Week 2: Blessed vs. #Blessed Genesis 1; Matthew 5 Good morning. I’d like you to have your Bibles open to two different places. (Weird, I know). The first place will be Genesis 1. Then, I’d like you to put a bookmark in Matthew 5. We are continuing the series we started last ...read more

  • Carry The Cross

    Contributed by Bala Samson on Jul 10, 2022
     | 1,974 views

    Do you think this title would be popular? Not at all, we all like to wear the cross as a chain but not carry it in our daily lives.

    Carry the cross Matthew 10:38 "And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. Do you think this title would be popular? Not at all, we all like to wear the cross as a chain but not carry it in our daily lives. However, Jesus said something powerful and clear,” ...read more

  • The Kingdom Is The Lord’s

     | 4,023 views

    To our cry, “How long O Lord?” comes the message of Obadiah, that God is in control and that He is working out His will and purpose through it all, or what He says through Obadiah at the very end of this letter, “The kingdom shall be the Lord's.” (Obadiah 1:21)

    The Kingdom is the Lord’s Book of Obadiah Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScnGFMIzeVY As Christians we’ll have enemies, and our spiritual maturity can be measured by the kind of enemies we have. What we need to make sure of, however, is that our enemies are the same as God’s enemies, and ...read more

  • Better Than Anything - Philippians 3:7-9 Series

     | 2,438 views

    Why is it so evil for a person to try to make himself righteous?

    Philippians 3:7 But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. 8 What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them filth, that I may gain Christ 9 and be ...read more

  • 3. The Breastplate Of Righteousness Series

    Contributed by Stephen Aram on Dec 1, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,171 views

    Our modern culture is desperate to feel good about itself. But God has provided a true way to feel good about ourselves, to feel good because we are doing good, and to find God's forgiveness when our own efforts fall short.

    We are continuing to look at what the Apostle Paul called the whole armor of God. In his letter to the Ephesian Church, chapter 6, he talked about our world as a battle field. And he wasn't picturing the kind of battle like that occurred when we began our attack on Iraq, where our forces ...read more

  • Remove The Roots Of Bitterness

    Contributed by Dennis King on Feb 25, 2018
    based on 1 rating
     | 9,115 views

    Most people think they are totally and unequivocally free of bitterness. However, that’s not necessarily the truth. You see, bitterness creeps in, slowly and is easier seen in other people rather than in yourself.

    Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, brawling, and slander, along with every form of malice. That statement comes from Ephesians 4, verse 31. The Greek word for bitterness is “Pikria” which translates to “Sticky.” No matter what has been done to you, how bad, how often, or who from, bitterness ...read more

    Prelude How does selfishness destroy us? How does selflessness save us? How does truly living only begin when the seed of selfishness dies? Purpose: Jesus taught that self-preservation is self-destructive and self-sacrifice is really living. Plan: Let’s examine the passage where Jesus predicts ...read more

     | 2,998 views

    Paul encouraged the Corinthians to examine their own faith. What does that look like?

    WHO'S IN? There are a lot of questionable boundary markers for the Christian faith. - If you read the obituary page, you will discover some marvelous realities. Among them: a. Upwards of 90% of people are going to heaven. b. People are members of church despite the fact that they haven’t ...read more

  • The Church Under Pressure - Sardis Series

    Contributed by Graham Kettle on Dec 7, 2017
     | 7,405 views

    Churches can refuse to face the reality of their spiritual condition before God. Styles and traditions can become so fixed that they continue and become empty of Holy Spirit power. Good works and a nice church format are not what God is seeking.

    THE CONTENT CHURCH - SARDIS READING Rev 3:1-6 INTRODUCTION Churches can refuse to face the reality of their spiritual condition before God. Styles and traditions can become so fixed that they continue and become empty of Holy Spirit power. Good works and a nice church format are not what God ...read more

    Part 4 of a series on the life of Jacob. Jacob changes his sons name from sorrow to "right hand" or strength. We also can choose how we look at our circumstances in life.

    Name It What You Want Dying To Self, Part 4 I was reading an article from the Wall Street Journal.

  • Mere Mortal

    Contributed by Kayode Omotoso on May 18, 2016
     | 3,829 views

    Man is always quick to forget that he does not have the supreme authority over himself. There is a God outside of man who rules over the affair of man.

    Regardless of genealogy or demography, every human shares something in common and it is the fact that we all came from dust and to dust shall we all return. Everyone came empty and shall someday return empty. Class notwithstanding, all men are same and nothing (Psalm 62:9). Psalm 103:15-16 also ...read more
