    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 20, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,505 views

    Liberalism hits the wall when it dismisses Adam and Eve as historical fact. This message here examines why our faith would be null and void if Adam did not exist. We look at arguments from the Lord and Paul. The matter is conclusive.

    LIBERAL THEOLOGY IN THE CHURCHES – ADDRESS NUMBER 3 Liberal theology is a mixture of intellectualism, unbelief, and demonic attack. {{1Timothy 4:1-2 “the spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons, ...read more

    Part 7e addresses the functions of Evangelists, Preachers, and Ministers/Servants/Deacons and some variations between the New Testament church and modern practice in the way these functions are implemented.

    This 13-part series of classes has been many years in the making.

    People's experience with those in the church is often their first experience with Christianity. What are we to say when that experience was less than positive? How are we going to respond?

    “I don’t mind Jesus, it’s his followers I can’t stand.” “You wouldn’t believe the way that I was treated when I went to that church.” “I’ve seen the way that Christians act when they’re not at church.” “The church is a bunch of hypocrites.” What’s your first reaction when you hear comments ...read more

    It is one thing to teach from the Scriptures, but do we live what we teach as well as we teach?

    The ability to carry on with the Christian life originates from Jesus Christ. Since Christ died for us and delivered us from transgression, we are therefore liberated from the control of sin. Christ gives us the strength and the comprehension to live as per God's will. Thusly, we would now be ...read more

    1 Corinthians 3.16 The city of Corinth was rife with temples, the temple of Aphrodite, the goddess of love, stood atop the Acrocorinth, which means the Acropolis of Corinth, but you probably knew that.

    How can members of a congregation best support their pastor?

    Pastoring isn’t for sissies. That’s why it’s important to a have a sense of call. If one doesn’t have a sense of God’s call to anchor them to the task, they will go adrift when the storms come. Part of the reason for those storms is that all hell is against the pastor. ...read more

    Gifted To Grow

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Jan 6, 2014
     | 5,144 views

    God has given the church what she needs. The diversities of talents and gifts are intentional. When everyone serves, the Body of Christ is built up and grows, until we become mature in Christ.

    We are the church. We are the Body of Christ. • By now, I believe you do know that. The church is not a building. It is not even the activities that make the church. It is the people. • You and I form the church. It is not an organization, although it is organized. It is an ...read more
