    Matth (PowerPoint slides to accompany this talk are available on request - email: gcurley@gcurley.info) ew's converstion.

    Reading: Matthew chapter 9 verses 9-13. Quote: “Sign on door: "Gone out of business. Didn't know what our business was.” That of course could never be said of Jesus Christ: • He came for a purpose; he had an objective: • And Matthew made it clear that Jesus has come ...read more

    From Disharmoney To A Gift Series

    Levi changed his name to Matthew in his Gospel to reflect his heart change.

    Last week we talked about the man who came through the roof with the help of his friends. Remember Jesus was more concerned about his spiritual healing than a physical healing. While his friends expected a physical, healing Jesus instead forgave his sins. It was after the religious people got upset ...read more

    Do You Believe?

    Contributed by Paul Dietz on Mar 19, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 17,262 views

    This sermon is inspired by the movie beginning on March 20, 2015 by the same title. It uses Thomas and the story of his "doubting" in his faith-believing following Jesus' resurrection. It leaves us with the question, "Do you believe?"

    In 2012, the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life conducted a survey including White, Black and Hispanic Catholic, Protestant and Non-Denominational Christians. In this survey was the following statement, “I never doubt the existence of God.” Survey results are as follows: 80% ...read more

    And if God can do that, then what can he do with your life?

    1 Timothy 1-12-17- And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord who has enabled me, because He counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry, although I was formerly a blasphemer, a persecutor, and an insolent man; but I obtained mercy because I did it ignorantly in unbelief. And the ...read more

    Developing A Race Strategy Series

     | 6,178 views

    The past is done, the future has not yet happened - so the present moment is important.

    “Living a Joy-full Life: Developing a Race Strategy” Phil. 3:12-16 English author Storm Jameson once said, “I believe that only one person in a thousand knows the trick of really living in the present. Most of us spend 59 minutes an hour living in the past, with regret for lost ...read more

    Straight Outta Context: Philippians 4:13 Series

    Contributed by Paul Basehore on Sep 16, 2015
     | 11,074 views

    Philippians 4:13 does not say that we can literally do anything. What it does say, though, is that a super-powered God will willingly and repeatedly share His strength with us when things get difficult.

    Superheroes are a multi-million dollar enterprise. Superhero movies have more than 13 billion dollars in revenue since 1978 -- and that’s just the movies. Comic book sales in 2015 alone have reached 334 million dollars -- and the year’s not even done yet! In addition, the numbers I just ...read more

    The Inter Stress Of Involvement Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,185 views

    We may not identify with Paul's physical sufferings as some of our international brethren can who are persecuted for their faith. But in this success oriented society we can identify with the inter-stress of which he speaks.

    2 CORINTHIANS 11: 28-33 [GAINING PERSPECTIVE Series] THE INTER STRESS OF INVOLVEMENT [Acts 9:22-25] Paul now changes from outward sufferings that he was called upon to endure as a minister of Christ to the daily pressure of concern that he bore for the churches and their leaders.

    Judas - A Man Who Became A Traitor

    Contributed by Clay Gentry on Aug 7, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 10,308 views

    When you picture Judas what do you see? A monster, or a devilish figure? Do you ever see yourself? The truth is we have a lot more in common with Judas than we care to admit. In this lesson we'll explore the life of Judas and how it relates to our own.

    When it comes to villains the Bible has its fair share. There’s Cain the brother-killer. The conniving Delilah. The murderous Jezebel. The rampaging Manasseh. And then there’s public-enemy #1, Judas the betrayer of Jesus. Too often we look at the villains and we see people that we ...read more

    All witnessing points to Jesus and away from ourselves

    It’s Not the Baptist’s Church John 3:22-36 Rev. Mark A. Barber Last Week, we saw how Nicodemus was witnessed to by Jesus who knows the hearts of all people. The whole gospel is a witness to the person and work of Christ. We saw in the earlier sermon “How to be a Good ...read more

    "Stephen: A Heart Of Commitment"

    It is always right to do the right thing, even if it is difficult. Jesus never said the Christian life would be easy. Remember, the symbol of the Christian life is a cross.

    HEARTBEATS “Stephen: A heart of Commitment” Acts 6:8-15 and 8:54-60 One of the things that are clear as you look at the gospels is that popularity can be costly. Most of us if we would admit it, certainly desire to have it. But we sometimes don’t realize what it can cost us. ...read more
