    The Holy Innocents

    Contributed by Kristopher Morris on Dec 26, 2003
    based on 38 ratings
     | 10,840 views

    This soon after celebrating Christmas we read the account of Herod’s slaughter of Bethlehem’s baby boys. What does this tragic story mean for us today?

    The Holy Innocents Matthew 2: 1-18 December 28, 2003 Two weeks ago on my drive to church, the radio broadcast some spectacular news. I had to double check the dial to make sure this wasn’t some early morning comedian telling a joke. Nope, it was NPR, and yes it seemed what they were ...read more

    Drive Out Sin Or It Will Drive You

    Contributed by James May on Jun 22, 2003
    based on 91 ratings
     | 15,615 views

    God’s command to Israel to drive out every idol and every idolater from Canaan has a definite meaning to every Christian. Drive out every sin.

    DRIVE OUT SIN OR IT WILL DRIVE YOU! Judges 2:1-22 One of the greatest problems that I see in the church is that fact that too many people follow the same path that Israel followed when they first entered into the Promised Land. They were quick to forget the great miracles of deliverance that God ...read more

    The "Normal" Church

    Contributed by Billy Kryger on Oct 20, 2003
    based on 29 ratings
     | 4,672 views

    "Normal" means "conforming to a standard". The Standard for our churches ought to be the Lord Jesus Christ. The church at Jerusalem gives us an excellent blueprint for how a church ought to be.

    INTRODUCTION: God wants every church to be a “normal” church. What is normal? Webster’s dictionary says, “conforming to a standard.” God has given the standard for His church. When we compare the church in the book of Acts with our churches today, we fall so far short of God’s standard. ...read more

    The names of some of Americas most famous CEO do not now mean what they once did. Imagine the sense of humiliation they now feel compared to the pride they used to feel.

    The new life in Christ means we have to change our old methods of living. This message examines the changes that should take place in our speech, relationships and actions.

    Changing Your Ways Ephesians 4:25-32 Ephesians 4:25 (HCSB) Since you put away lying, speak the truth, each one to his neighbor, because we are members of one another. Lying Is No Longer an Option  The old self has been put off  A conscious decision  Replaced by new ...read more

    Law...then And Now

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Feb 2, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,729 views

    How do the complex, often strange laws of the OT apply to today? What is the function of the law of God? And what does it mean to live lawfully when salvation is by grace?

    What do we do with the Law? As we read the Law of Moses in the Old Testament, we come across some strange rules nearly no one practices today. A.J. Jacobs wrote an intriguing book, The Year of Living Biblically, a chronicle of his attempt to actually follow all the many laws of the Bible (easily ...read more

    Equal In Dignity, Diverse In Function Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jun 21, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,924 views

    In our worship, we are all equal in dignity, but, as Jesus gave different ministries to his disciples, in and out of worship, we differ in function and service; that is the meaning of hierarchy.

    Solemnity of Peter and Paul June 29, 2009 The readings for this solemnity help us to understand how it is that Christ left us–as a gift–a hierarchical Church. I was reading some fairly recent articles in Pastoral Music recently, and came across a rather angry one from a nun who was complaining ...read more

    Why Are We Here? Series

    Contributed by Brad Bailey on Jul 22, 2009
     | 5,248 views

    The very reason we gather is in response to the Divine call of God and His purposes. The problem is that the ideas we associate with “church” can come to mean so much less.

    Why are you here? That’s the question I want to begin with today. We might naturally divide that question as to whether it refers to being here in terms of existing… or being here in this gathering. I’m referring to BOTH our purpose for being here in terms of existing… as well as being ...read more

     | 4,075 views

    Jesus feeding the 5,000 is not only about sharing, but added value. All you can eat means: you can get all life has to offer

    "By the breaking of the bread, he makes it into a seedbed of food--for if the bread had been left intact and not pulled apart and broken into pieces, they would have been unable to feed the great crowds of men, women, and children....Mysteries are made manifest, so that what did not feed the ...read more

    A look at the 6th commandment, "You shall not murder," with the practical implications of what it means to maintain healthy relationships in a healthy society through respect for all human life.

    Respect Life (Exodus 20:13) An attorney was speaking to a woman who had just lost her husband. He said to her, “Your husband did not leave a will, so we need to know the last words he ever said to you.” She replied, “I don’t want to tell you.” The attorney said, “Look, he did not leave a ...read more

    The Lord has invited you to sit and commune with him at His banquet table right now. What does this mean? How will you respond? Teaching by Glenn Bleakney.

    We have been invited to a Great Feast. At this feast there is a table spread before us.
