     | 334 views

    Every closed door has a divine purpose behind it. God never shuts one door without preparing a better one. His “No” today may be leading you into a greater “Yes” tomorrow.

    How To Know If You Have Itching Ears

    based on 4 ratings
     | 12,974 views

    When your ear itches then you're going to listen to something, but it will not be sound doctrine. When we judge the word of God given by His preachers & teachers based on our belief rather than judging our belief by the scriptures they bring we're deaf.

    2 Timothy 4:1-4 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; 2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine. 3 For the time will come ...read more

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jun 6, 2024
     | 748 views

    Numbed by the wickedness around, we can become ignorant of the hurting and suffering people in our world. Jerusalem was grossly corrupt and injustice thrived. The world must learn from this but it is not going so. Injustice and violence are everywhere. Wrath is coming.

     | 6,293 views

    This is a sermon the the Great Commandment with the thesis that one can not love God and yet hate people for whom Christ died. Love for humanity is proff of our love for God.

    The Bible teaches that all people have sinned and are spiritually dead. We have closed hearts, darkened minds, closed ears, and blinded eyes. Because we are spiritually dead we need God's help.

    Ephesians 2:1-5 HCC 10-1-00 Fallen Humankind This last week a gymnast from Romania was stripped of her Olympic gold medal because she tested positive for a drug that was banned.

    We have a lost art in our homes and churches, seems few are listening. Communication is more than talking all the time. We have frozen communication lines because few are listening. Swift to hear. Slow to speak.

    based on 36 ratings
     | 9,323 views

    Contemporary Chrsitians are tempted to sit behind the secure walls of the church rather than engage the enemy of sin in the world. But, Christ Jesus calls us to leave the closed doors and open our minds to his gospel by living and sharing it with others.

    Luke 24: 36 – 48 Closed Doors to Open Minds Intro: Agoraphobia – fear of open spaces – people who cannot go outside and spend their entire life closed up inside a house or apartment.
