    Trinity - What The Early Church Believed Series

    Contributed by Eddie Snipes on Oct 2, 2001
    based on 40 ratings
     | 4,903 views

    This study looks at the writings of the church prior to the first church council. Beginning at the apostles and those they discipled, we can see what the church believed from the beginning.

    What the early church believed In Part 1 we set the stage for the council. We looked at the fact that these men were Christians who suffered for their faith. Just 14 years earlier, they came out of the last great Roman persecution. They resisted against the attacks from outside the church at the ...read more

    Not much is known of Gaius, he was probably a faithful member in one of the churches of Asia Minor. The Apostle John conveys his own appreciation for Gaius by calling him “beloved,” 4 times in this one chapter. For the Apostle John to ask about Gaius’ hea

    Pilate's Wife

    Contributed by Claude Alexander on Apr 2, 2022

     | 3,737 views

    It is surprising, and sad, that the only testimony (in effect) on Jesus’ behalf during the trial was made, not by any of Jesus’ disciples, nor apostles, nor followers, but by Pilate’s wife.

    Pilate's Wife Matt. 27:11-26 The chief priests with the elders and scribes and the whole council of the Sanhedrin had decided to put Jesus to death. They had Jesus brought before Pilate the governor to pronounce the death sentence. (Mark 15:1; Luke 22:66; 23:1) Pontius Pilate was the fifth ...read more

    Overcoming the enemy once does not mean he will stop his harassment of us. This is what he is, and what he does. So our posture toward him, both defensively and offensively, needs to become habitual and reflexive. We need to overcome our ignorance of the

    Second Timothy was a letter written by the Apostle Paul, who finds himself a prisoner confined in a Roman prison awaiting certain execution. Here, we find the Apostle challenging one of his young converts (Timothy) not to be timid because God gives the spirit of power, love and of a sound mind.

    Transformation Possible: The Transformation Of Peter Series

    Contributed by Lynn Malone on Apr 26, 2016
     | 14,353 views

    The Apostle Peter experienced many transformations during his life, but the most profound transformation was from failure to faith. This sermon reflects on Peter's denial of Christ in the courtyard.

    Let’s talk about transformation. Merrian-Webster defines transformation as “a complete or major change in someone's or something's appearance, form, etc.” Transformation is at the heart of our Christian faith, isn’t it? Don’t we believe that Jesus Christ came into ...read more

    the apostle Paul wants us to understand that human wisdom is not the answer to the needs of the church, the cross of Christ is the answer to the needs of the church

    FOOLISH COMMUNICATION 1 CORINTHIANS 1:18-31 INTRODUCTION: As we continue our study in the book of First Corinthians, we approach a fundamental tenet of Paul’s’ writing, namely the inability to comprehend the wisdom of God through the wisdom of man.

    In 1 John 1:1-4, the apostle shares out of his own personal encounter with “the Word of Life.”

    PROLOGUE TO FIRST JOHN I John 1:1-4 The prologue of 1 John is similar to the prologue in the Gospel of John. The “beginning” in John 1:1 is a reference to the beginning of time.

    Are healings and miracles just for the times of the Apostles, or can we expect to see them today? This sermon attempts to answer that question.

    Miracles I have been asked to speak on the subject of miracles. This subject leaves me with a dilemma. It is not what to say that is the problem, but what to leave out. It is a very large topic. I have decided to split the topic into four different areas. Firstly, what are miracles and what ...read more

    Christian employees are to respect and obey their employers. The apostle issued his command as both 1) a mandate and 2) a motive for submission.
