    In our text Paul wants you to know if you are weak in your spirituality that you should not despair, because those that are strong should be stepping in to help.

    TITLE: WEAK BUT WORTH IT SCRIPTURE: ROMANS 15:1-7 Let me begin this message by asking a few questions. How strong are you? • Are you strong in spirit or in mind or in both? • Are you strong in body and spirit but weak in mind, or are you strong in all three? • Are you weak when it comes to ...read more

    We Believe In The Cross Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on May 24, 2021
     | 2,387 views

    Salvation doesn’t merely consist in our receiving the forgiveness of sins. In the cross, we are justified. More than having my sins removed, I am credited with Jesus’ good actions.

    “But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it—22 the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 ...read more

    The women go to the tomb to find a dead Jesus, but they are given life and hope instead. We have the same hope and life in Christ alone.

    4.17.22 Luke 24:1–12 1 On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women went to the tomb, carrying the spices they had prepared. 2 They found that the stone had been rolled away from the tomb. 3 When they went in, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 While they ...read more

    This parable appears only in the Gospel of Matthew.

    In this passage of scripture we see something that is out of the ordinary in the life of John the Baptist.

    Many times life becomes boring for some of us because day after day it is the same old stuff. But then some days we come to a place in life where things are not routine at all. We see such a situation in the Scripture passage we read a few minutes ago. John lived like we all do. He preached day ...read more

    Folks have different ideas about men and women in the ministry. They are referred to as “People of the Cloth.”

    Illus: The phrase, “People of the Cloth”, reminds me of the pastor of a conservative small-town congregation. He received the gift of a white suit from a friend, but he was a bit reluctant to wear it. Since it was so attractive and a perfect fit, he decided to put it on one warm Sunday. As he was ...read more

    This parable illustrates the deceitfulness of guarded wealth. It is a stewardship parable, in the fact that it addresses the issue of our use of resources, both monetary and spiritual. The lesson we will learn is “use it, or lose it.”

    This morning’s message is entitled “Hoarder or Steward?” O. S. Hawkins, who is with GuideStone Financial Resources of the Southern Baptist Convention, asks, “At the end of your life will you be considered a hoarder or a steward?”(1) We’re going to look at a parable this morning; one which is ...read more

    The resurrection of Christ is the most important topic of the Bible. It is not one of the most important, but THE MOST IMPORTANT topic of the Bible.

    The bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead is the crowning proof of Christianity. Everything else that was said or done by Christ and the Apostles is secondary in importance to the resurrection. That is: • If the resurrection DID NOT take place, then Christianity is a false religion. • ...read more

    Just like the runners in the Boston marathon, Christians should expect that there will be, at some point, opposition that will test us—our endurance, perseverance, and our principles.

    Has anyone here this morning ever ran a marathon? A marathon is always measured at 26.2 Miles. Have you ever heard of heartbreak hill? In the Boston Marathon, at mile 20, the runners come to what is called heartbreak Hill. Heartbreak Hill is the final incline of the Boston marathon. Even though ...read more

    Jesus wanted His disciples to tarry with Him in prayer at a most crucial hour, but they were overcome with sleep. If we can set aside some distractions and discipline ourselves to spend time with God we will experience wonderful transformation in our lives.

    We read in Mark 14:37, He went back and found them asleep. He said to Peter, "Simon, are you sleeping? Couldn't you stay awake for one hour? (GW) As Jesus was praying in the Garden of Gethsemane, he instructed his disciples to tarry in prayer right where they were, when He went on further ...read more

     | 3,116 views

    We are created in the image of God, and when we choose to reflect His image through our lives we may be hated or even persecuted. Let’s see how God’s justice and righteousness will always prevail over every evil plot of the enemy.

    We read in Genesis 1:26, And God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.” (KJV) Why was man ...read more
