    Dealing With Doctrinal Deviation

     | 5,309 views

    God charges the church with the responsibility to avoid those who cause division and create obstacles. It is the responsibility of the entire assembly, and not that of the elders alone.

    “I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them. For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naïve.” ...read more

    Close The Gaps - Circle The Wagons

    Contributed by Val Black on Oct 21, 2019
     | 6,974 views

    God's work never goes forward without opposition from the enemy. In fact, opposition is almost always caused by success and not failure. In building the walls of Jerusalem, Nehemiah faced much opposition but he knew what to do and now we can know also.

    Nehemiah 4:7-23 (NLT) “But when Sanballat and Tobiah and the Arabs, Ammonites, and Ashdodites heard that the work was going ahead and that the gaps in the wall of Jerusalem were being repaired, they were furious. 8  They all made plans to come and fight against Jerusalem and throw us into ...read more

     | 3,522 views

    Postmodernity has given birth to the idea that all spiritual views are simply different roads that lead to God. We have created a confusing web of “spiritual paths” for those on a quest to know God. John gives a process for gaining and maintaining our bearings while on our spiritual journey.

    Correcting Our Double Vision Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Oct 13, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,790 views

    This message addresses the problem of spiritual double vision; being focused on the things of God and the things of the world simultaneously. Jesus talks about treasure in heaven or earth; being full or light or darkness; and pursuing God or money.

    I have entitled our message this morning, “Correcting Our Double Vision.” Double vision, according to Yale Medicine, is understood as being when someone sees two of the “same” image instead of one.(1) But today, I want us to think of double vision as seeing two “separate” images at the same time. ...read more
