    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jul 26, 2022
     | 2,227 views

    Conformity is the rule these days under increasing totalitarianism, but that will present problems for the Christian. One stands firm or compromises. To be faithful means holding fast to God’s word, not yielding our faith to distorted values so that we “fit in.” This is a difficult area.

    CONFORMITY IS THIS WORLD’S SHEEP DOG TRIALS – A VERY SERIOUS MATTER INTRODUCTION TO CONFORMITY The sheep dog trials found in sheep breeding countries is a competition where sheep dogs round up a group of sheep and ensure they are penned.

    based on 1 rating
     | 1,858 views

    When we speak of removing the grave clothes, we refer to what holds us back in our Christian life. These could include old emotions, unhealthy habits, and past relationships. But in this process, we can find hope leading to a more fulfilling Christian life characterized by hope and freedom.

    SCRIPTURAL REFERENCES (John 11:43-44) (43) “And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.” (44) “And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound ...read more

     | 11,616 views

    Are your steps being ordered by the Lord? Do you delight in the will and way of the Lord for your life? Have you fallen? Have you risen back up to get back in the fight? Where does that place you?

    Intro: Psalm 37 contains a reference to three particular men. In v.16 we find “a righteous man,” in v.23 we find “a good man,” and in v.37 we find “the perfect man.” If we were to apply this from a NT viewpoint, we might say that the “righteous man” ...read more

    When Christ calls us to be with Him, He honours us. He does not treat us as we deserve should we fail Him, but He is glorified in raising us up and employing us to His glory.

    “Jesus went with [his disciples] to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to [them], ‘Sit here, while I go over there and pray.’ And taking with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be sorrowful and troubled. Then he said to them, ‘My soul is very sorrowful, ...read more

     | 4,553 views

    The church today is not operating in God’s upside down, right side up principles. This is part 2 in a series that will give our churches some good direction in being the kind of Jesus had in mind.

    What is the church? The church is people. It is not the building we meet in, it is the people who meet in the building. The church is made up of all the people throughout the world and throughout history who have accepted Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. Is the church perfect? No. Was ...read more

     | 26,634 views

    What is the secret to real Christian living? Not how much you know; great leadership ability; personal charisma; or even a winning, positive attitude. The real key to Christian living is summed up in 2 words: FOLLOW ME.

Intro: I saw a cartoon that showed a church building with a billboard in front that said: "The LITE CHURCH: 24% fewer commitments, home of the 71/2% tithe, 15 ...read more

     | 5,241 views

    The word IF is a little word that expresses a hypothetical truth that requires us to have faith.

    Put a marker in Matthew 4 and turn with me to 2 Peter 1. One of the things I’ve encountered over the years is that many Christians believe they can take the Bible, read the Bible, and then say that “This is what this verse means to me.” When you take that approach with the Bible, you might as ...read more

    Eventually a literal kingdom is set up in the New Jerusalem. Christ's people literally reign over a literal planet with a literal King, Jesus. We stress "literal" because of so many who love to "spiritualize" texts.

    5 . THE KINGDOM COMES TO EARTH A. The day of the Lord! No less than fifteen Bible characters speak of a unique day that is to come at the end of this present age.
