    To establish that the good and honest heart hears, receives, believes, and obeys the gospel of Christ - the seed of the kingdom. This lesson describes the type of heart that will believe and obey the gospel. It also discusses a "significant emotional event."

    INTRODUCTION Outline. 1. The Sower (The Preacher) 2. The Seed (The Word of God) 3. The Soil (The Hearers) Introductory Remarks. 1. There is much warning in the bible to the hearers of the word of God. Jesus spoke: "of the wise and foolish hearers," Matthew 7:24-27. James declares: ...read more

    Learning how to be the church in today's world through learning from the book of Acts.

    [“Jesus” represented by the media – married, aquarian, self-claims, Jesus and satan brothers, Jesus a created god, etc.] There’s so many voices giving the world the wrong impression of who Jesus really is. It’s up to us as Christians to tell the world and to show the ...read more

    It was time for the word to go out to the next mission field.

    The Samaritan Mission: an Exposition of Acts 8:5-25 In Acts 1:8, Jesus tells them that the Apostles would be His witnesses, first in Jerusalem, then in Judaea and Samaria, and then to the ends of the earth. This forms a basic outline to the Book of Acts itself. The church started in Jerusalem on ...read more

    Sermon # 4 - The Power Of The Early Church Series

     | 3,951 views

    The early church was dynamic and turned their world upside down because they possessed certain characteristics. If we want to see revival in our churches today, we too must follow their example.

    We have been considering God’s promise for His people from Act 11:21, “And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord.”(KJV) We will consider in detail the life of the early church, and see what we ought to do, in order for the Lord to fulfil this ...read more

    John Bunyan, the author of Pilgrim’s Progress, wrote another famous allegory entitled The Holy War.... He believed that God and Satan are locked in a titanic war in which the souls of humanity are at stake — that we are the principal players in a real war. ... Bunyan sought, by the ...read more

    Understanding the Lex Talionis (Law of Retaliation).

    “Retaliation Vs. Grace” Matthew 5:38-42 As most of you know, I am very fond of the area of faith referred to as apologetics. Apologetics comes from the word “apologia” and it means to “give a defense” for a position or an action. The english word ...read more

    Easter, The Best Good News Or Best-Kept Secret? Series

    Contributed by Garth Wehrfritz- Hanson on Apr 7, 2016
     | 9,469 views

    Easter is the best Good News we could possibly hear, therefore it is worth sharing with others.

    Easter, is it the best good news ever told, or is it the best-kept secret? I think that is an important question for you and me and for everyone. If we take our passages seriously from Psalm 118 and Luke 24; then I suggest to you today that God’s way is that of resurrection; he is able to ...read more

    Jesus confronted the complex. His message was and is simple. Let’s get back to the basics He taught us! Why make it difficult?

    Study I. Introduction Some things are complex and complicated. Politics. The sport called Cricket. Defining the word “the”. The human brain. Cats. However, faith was never supposed to be complex or confusing. Man has this propensity to make things harder than they should be. When Jesus arrives on ...read more

    First Sunday Of Lent, Year A- The Tactics Of Temptation

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jan 21, 2023
     | 1,460 views

    C.S. Lewis made an astute observation in his masterful Screwtape Letters: the devil cannot manufacture real goods or pleasures; he’s stuck with the ones God has made and for which our natures have an inclination.

    I saw this Cartoon of Satan tempting Jesus, saying: “If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become a medium rare ribeye steak with truffle butter.” [Jesus is thinking to himself, “He’s getting better at this.”] Note that Jesus did not say, “Man cannot live by coffee alone, but he will ...read more

    Christ should have center stage of our life.

    Introduction It matters how you live your life. Oh, it is great to be saved; but don’t neglect how you live your life thinking I have all I need. If you take that attitude now that I am saved it doesn’t matter how I live my life, your lack of following Christ faithfully might result in a family ...read more

    What Is God's View Of War

    Contributed by Jerry Flury on Apr 2, 2003
    based on 58 ratings
     | 13,889 views

    As Christians we need to know what God says about war. Didn’t Christ come preaching peace? If so how can war be compatible with the life and teachings of Jesus Christ? Isn’t war a contradiction to the teachings of God’s Word?

    "But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it.

    What’s so persuasive about the Gospel of Christ? It depends on who’s telling it. Those that live it can tell it with power.

    Almost Persuaded There were seven astronauts aboard the space shuttle Columbia. They had been on a 16 day mission and were just 16 minutes from landing. They were almost home. Almost. As the shuttle was entering the atmosphere something went terribly wrong. Later studies indicate that some of ...read more

    Publicly Speaking...

    The need to worship our multi-faceted God for His singular trait of making PUBLIC STATEMENT as to his existence, the veracity of the Bible, salvation through the Cross and the imminent Second coming of His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ.

    PUBLICLY SPEAKING…! I have said before and I never tire of reiterating it; we are essentially created to worship the Creator. When it comes to worshipping Him, more than expressing our adoration for the blessings, He showers upon us our ...read more
