    Let’s see how Jesus showed kindness, because I think those are the ways we need to learn to show kindness today.

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK (Revised: 2015) A. Two weeks ago I started a series of sermons based on 1 Corinthians 13, & we began to consider what Paul said was "the most excellent way" to live. And that "most excellent way" is the way of love. ...read more

    The Substitute

    Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Dec 31, 2000
    based on 97 ratings
     | 10,564 views

    The sacrificial system points to God’s desire to save his people, the seriousness of our sin and God’s willingness to forgive. Tying the OT sacrificial system to the sacrifice of Christ.

    Many people begin to read about the Old Testament sacrificial system and think something like: “Why all the blood? Why all this slaughtering of animals? It seems so gruesome and disgusting. Why did God require all of that? What was the purpose?” Confusing as it is, the Old Testament ...read more

    Saul did it his way because he was filled with pride, was controlled by impulse, and driven by rebellion.

    Patrick O’Boyle tells about an incident in Hyde Park, a large public park in London, England, famous for its soapbox orators. He recalls one particular day, back in the 1940’s, when Frank Sheed, a Christian author and publisher was addressing the crowd in the “Speakers’ Corner.” He writes: “Sheed ...read more

    What God does is eternal -- We are surprised by significance. What God does is impossible -- We are surprised by power. What God does is unexpected -- We are surprised by joy.

    I will never forget walking into the funeral home several years ago to meet with the family who had just lost a 40-year-old son and husband. He was not dressed in a typical suit, but a pair of bib overhauls and a dirty ball cap. He had died of a heart attack, but in the pocket of his ...read more

    Characteristics Of False Churches & Teachers

    based on 194 ratings
     | 8,235 views

    Most believers are ill-equipped to deal with members of false groups, not because they don’t know enough about CULTS, but because they don’t know their OWN BELIEFS well enough.

    Characteristics Of False Churches & Teachers (2 Tim. 2:14-18) [HTML formatted version of this sermon is located at http://members.aol.com/abidingitw/falsechurches.html] Jesus Himself tells us in John 8:31-32: 31 "...

    One of our problems in life is that we divide everything into secular & sacred categories - but we ought to see our everyday work as a service for God.

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER CENTRAL CHRISTIAN, BROWNSVILLE, TX TEXT: Ephesians 6:5-6; Daniel 6:20; Jeremiah 29:5-7; 1 Corinthians 5:9-11 A. For most Americans tomorrow is a holiday, it’s Labor Day, & in the opinion of some, it is the most hypocritical of all of our ...read more

     | 8,917 views

    This begins with the historical evidence from the ancient kingdom of Ebla that validates the life of Abraham and then I will look at God’s call. How He used Abram’s humanity, weakness and faith to open the door of God’s purpose.

    God’s Call Genesis 11 ends with the genealogy leading up to Abram (later Abraham). Terah took his son Abram and his wife Saria, and grandson Lot and headed toward Canaan. They did not get to Canaan, but dwelled in the city of Haran (which is probably named after Abram’s brother who died after he ...read more

    The God Who Knows No Limits Series

    based on 103 ratings
     | 48,638 views

    God is not limited by space, knowledge, and power. What this means and how it applies to our lives for people investigating the Christian faith.

    The God Christians worship is the God who has no limits. That’s hard for us to even imagine, because most of our frustrations in life are a direct result of limitations. We’re limited by space because we can only be in one place at one time. A recent television commercial for a new minivan shows a ...read more

    This sermon deals with the rapture from a pre-tribulation viewpoint. Excellent background for the movie Left Behind.

    The Christian attitude and activity when it comes to sexuality.

    January 6, 2002 There is a strange dichotomy which exists on the sexual frontier in America. Recently Ann Landers received 100,000 responses to a question she asked her readers. She found that 72% of women said they would be content just to be held close and treated tenderly and forget about the ...read more

     | 8,597 views

    I want to show you or, at least to begin to demonstrate to you, that it is not unreasonable to believe that Christianity is true, that you don’t have to trick yourself into becoming a Christian, that Christianity perfectly explains what we see going on in

    Some of you will find the material that we’re going to cover this morning much of it to be a review if you’ve been with us here for any length of time. These are very serious days and many men, many people are re-evaluating their relationship with God, and they are considering coming back to God. ...read more
