    A in-depth look at James Chapter one encouraging the reader to view the book of James in full context. This entire series is also available as an IBOOK via ITUNES for the nominal cost of $4.95

    Introduction James is my favorite book of the Bible. I have always been drawn to its practical approach and straightforward method of approaching the subject of living one’s faith. James doesn’t spend a lot of time discussing doctrine, though the book is full of doctrinal concepts. Instead, ...read more

    Every Christian needs to examine the importance of perserverance. As Winston Churchill said to a graduating class of young cadets, "Never give up..." There’s a high cost to giving up and giving in!

    "And the Land Rested From War..." Dr. E. Winson Butler Joshua 11:23 kjv (pg 199 OT white pew Bible) Introduction I. illus. A few nights ago, President George Bush addressed our country.

    Whatever be the extent of our sacrifice to our Lord, the realization that we have been adorned with the eternal " robes of righteousness" free of cost at the point of salvation, would keep us grateful and thus humble!!!

    based on 4 ratings
     | 2,544 views

    Seeing, hearing, and knowing God’s will is quite different from doing what God wants. For doing what God wants will often cost us something that we might not be willing to pay.

    John 6: 35, 41 – 51 / Obtuse Intro: A conscientious wife tried hard to please her critical husband, but failed regularly. Jack was especially disagreeable at breakfast. If Jill prepared scrambled eggs, he wanted poached; if she poached eggs, he wanted scrambled. One morning Jill poached one ...read more

    Paul urged the Corinthian church to preserve their unity in Christ at all costs. We learn from him to work quickly through conflict, appreciate our differences, and know what unites us.

    1 Corinthians 1:10-18 Preserving the Union If you ever find a perfect church, join it, and it will no longer be perfect! And if you ever feel bad about the state of your church or the state of the church in America today, just read the Bible book of 1 Corinthians! These folks had lots of problems, ...read more

    Sermon # 3 - Going The Wrong Way Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Aug 28, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,469 views

    What is God’s purpose for establishing the church? Are we fulfilling this purpose or running in the wrong direction like Jonah did? As a church may we realize our purpose and fulfill it at all cost.

    We read in Jonah 1:3, “But Jonah rose to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD. He went down to Joppa and found a ship going to Tarshish. So he paid the fare and went down into it, to go with them to Tarshish, away from the presence of the LORD.” (ESV) The word of the Lord we saw in the ...read more

    Express Kindness

    Not every act of kindness pays ; it doesn’t always turn out to be profitable. In fact, often times kindness costs us something. But it is fulfilling, it is commanded, and it’s an important attribute of love.

    June 5th 2016 Seaford Christian Church (Homecoming) Express Kindness Luke 8: 40 – 56 I heard about a woman who had just cashed her income tax return check, and as she was standing at a bus stop a man went over to a poorly dressed man, whispered something in his ear, and handed him some money.

    We know story of Shiphrah, Puah and Pharaoh Of Egypt We are the now ones in the birthing room of history, standing between the innocent and the machinery of moral decay. Are you ready to stand—cost be damned?

    PROLOGUE: The cries of labor echoed through the mud-brick corridors of Egypt. Israelite women, wide with promise, clung to their beds while the future thrashed in their wombs. But Pharaoh, hungry for control and drunk on fear, issued a decree: “If it is a son, you shall kill him.” The words hissed ...read more

     | 388 views

    In every generation, this question echoes—Who is on the Lord’s side? The line between compromise and conviction must be clearly drawn. God is looking for those who will boldly stand for Him, no matter the cost.

Samuel Arimoro Main Text: 1 Kings 18:21 Supporting Texts: Exodus 32:26; Joshua 24:15; Revelation 3:15-16; Matthew 10:32-33; 2 Timothy 1:7-8 INTRODUCTION: Mount Carmel was the place of decision.

    As we read the book of "Acts of the Apostles" we clearly understand how God changes unknown people in God's Ambassadors here on Earth. The Holy Spirit transforms tragedies in to blessings.

    Marks Of A True Disciple

    Contributed by Scott Sparks on Mar 2, 2005
    based on 8 ratings
     | 17,584 views

    Jesus gave us the example of true discipleship - to forsake all, to follow, & to Love one another. Our world tends to work to dilute the real message. However, if we can take hold of the basic truths, we can remain faithful to Jesus’ instructions.

    Marks of A True Disciple Luke 14:26, 33 (KJV) “If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple…So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be ...read more

    At some point we all have to make the same choice the Rich Man was faced with when he encountered Jesus in Mark 10:17-31. Will you be willing to give everything up to follow Him?

    SPELUNKING How many here are familiar with the practice of exploring caves or spelunking? How many of you have ever gone spelunking? How many enjoy just saying the word spelunking?
