  • Planned Giving Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on May 31, 2014
     | 7,046 views

    Planning our giving is taught in Scripture; it permits us to anticipate our worship.

    “It is superfluous for me to write to you about the ministry for the saints, for I know your readiness, of which I boast about you to the people of Macedonia, saying that Achaia has been ready since last year. And your zeal has stirred up most of them. But I am sending the brothers so that ...read more

     | 5,733 views

    If we fail to meet the Lord Christ in worship, our efforts will be futile.

    “The hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him. God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.” [1] Christians have been fighting ...read more

    To avoid appointing unqualified people to the eldership, the elders must take time to know these candidates.

    “Do not be hasty in the laying on of hands, nor take part in the sins of others; keep yourself pure. (No longer drink only water, but use a little wine for the sake of your stomach and your frequent ailments.) The sins of some people are conspicuous, going before them to judgment, but the ...read more

    Teaching Christian values without bringing our children to faith in the Risen Son of God, condemns them to eternal death. The Pharisees stand as a beacon warning Christians not to succumb to the lure of presenting Christian values.

    “Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples, ‘The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses’ seat, so do and observe whatever they tell you, but not the works they do. For they preach, but do not practice. They tie up heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on people’s ...read more

    In commending the Macedonian Christians, Paul revealed the secret of great giving.

    “We want you to know, brothers, about the grace of God that has been given among the churches of Macedonia, for in a severe test of affliction, their abundance of joy and their extreme poverty have overflowed in a wealth of generosity on their part. For they gave according to their means, as ...read more

    Paul provides guidelines for congregational support for those who are needy and vulnerable.

    “Do not rebuke an older man but encourage him as you would a father, younger men as brothers, older women as mothers, younger women as sisters, in all purity. “Honor widows who are truly widows. But if a widow has children or grandchildren, let them first learn to show godliness to ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 6,373 views

    The call to purity must be iterated in this day if the people of God are to enjoy His power.

    “Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous.” [1] Listening to contemporary sociologists, one would conclude that marriage is a dying institution. Actually, one need not listen to sociologists ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,545 views

    We shall either live as followers of Christ or as enemies of the cross of Christ. There is no in between.

    “Brothers, join in imitating me, and keep your eyes on those who walk according to the example you have in us. For many, of whom I have often told you and now tell you even with tears, walk as enemies of the cross of Christ. Their end is destruction, their god is their belly, and they glory ...read more

  • Grace Given Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Mar 1, 2014
     | 5,229 views

    Our giving as an act of worship flows from the grace we have received as redeemed people.

    “I say this not as a command, but to prove by the earnestness of others that your love also is genuine. For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich.” [1] We want to worship in ...read more

    Should the congregation have an "Order of Widows" to serve within the assembly?

    “Let a widow be enrolled if she is not less than sixty years of age, having been the wife of one husband, and having a reputation for good works: if she has brought up children, has shown hospitality, has washed the feet of the saints, has cared for the afflicted, and has devoted herself to ...read more

  • What About The Younger Widows Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Mar 15, 2014
     | 4,298 views

    Having provided instruction for establishing an order of widows, Paul proscribes enrolling younger widows and justifies his position.

    “Refuse to enroll younger widows, for when their passions draw them away from Christ, they desire to marry and so incur condemnation for having abandoned their former faith. Besides that, they learn to be idlers, going about from house to house, and not only idlers, but also gossips and ...read more

     | 8,861 views

    Balancing the responsibility of the family and the church for vulnerable family members is discussed.

    The men of a congregation are to provide leadership in public prayer.

    Women and men are spiritually equal before the Lord; however, women are debarred from occupying the role of elder within the congregation of the Lord.

    “Women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly attire, but with what is proper for women who profess godliness—with good works. Let a woman learn quietly with all submissiveness. I do not permit ...read more
