    This is the first of four in a series on Ephesians 4. The main theme is the function of the church in the accomplishment of its mission.

    Living in the Family of God Drama Getting Along in the Family God’s Doctrinal Statement For years I have resisted the notion of having a “doctrinal statement”. It’s not that we don’t know what we believe or that we don’t want you to know. It’s just that I have a hard time rewriting what God ...read more

    A first-person narrative as Polycarp, bishop of Smyrna, whose big idea is "be faithful, not fearful."

    “Broken Lampstand” Revelation 2:8-11 INTRODUCTION Have you ever suffered for your faith? Even a little? To be faithful and be treated badly seems wrong to us—and it is wrong! There is malice in the world, such cruelty that only comes from the evil one, the destroyer. But our Lord prophesied as ...read more

    A sermon preached in first service as senior pastor at a church where I had been assistant

    The Duke of Cambridge said in the late 1800’s, “Any change, at any time, for any reason, is to be deplored.” Change is one of those things that none of us are really comfortable with. Many people, if they had their choice, would choose to keep everything the same. It’s comfortable. It gives us ...read more

    My first sermon of 2008, using the "Great Commission" passage to layout a strategery for the coming year.

    Intro: Status Quo is unacceptable! Seems a little odd saying that to start of a new year, isn’t it? After all, don’t we all make resolutions to start the year off? Some want to lose weight…some want to quit a bad habit. Others want to make better use of time…or maybe just try to be a better ...read more

    Contributed by Scott Spencer on Apr 6, 2016
     | 4,979 views

    Jesus did die, but He didn’t stay dead! So a church service should not be like a funeral. Someone suggested that it is a memorial service, not for the dead, but by the dead! Perhaps that explains it.

    A Tour through Acts ~ part 8 A Great Church is a Joyously Worshiping Church Acts 2:46-47a Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. (+ NIV) ...read more

     | 22,092 views

    Part 7e addresses the functions of Evangelists, Preachers, and Ministers/Servants/Deacons and some variations between the New Testament church and modern practice in the way these functions are implemented.

    This 13-part series of classes has been many years in the making. About 25 years ago I began in earnest to examine the features, character and characteristics of the church as it existed in its earliest years. As I sometimes do, I kept my notes all along the way, and this series of classes is to a ...read more

     | 3,423 views

    The firstborn son had certain privileges in Hebrew families. Reuben, Jacob's oldest, gave in to sin and as a result, he lost his blessing and birthright. Don't make Reuben mistakes!

    Introduction: Back in the early 1980’s, Pastor Dale Burden, then living in the Tidewater area of Virginia (the cities near Norfolk and Virginia Beach) preached a message, or a series (IIRC) about Reuben, calling him “mister might have been”. After all these years, I still remember bits and pieces ...read more

    Genesis Chapter 4: The First Family And The Birth Of Violence By Pst. Joseph Ondu Series

    Contributed by Joseph Ondu on Nov 16, 2025
     | 212 views

    The story of Genesis 4 calls us to check our hearts, to deal with anger and jealousy, and to worship God sincerely. It also assures us that no matter how dark sin becomes, God’s mercy shines brighter. He still speaks, still warns, still forgives, and still calls us to return to Him.

    Genesis Chapter 4: The First Family and the Birth of Violence Introduction Genesis chapter 4 continues the story of humanity after the fall. It introduces the first family born outside the Garden of Eden—Adam, Eve, and their two sons, Cain and Abel. This chapter reveals how quickly sin spread ...read more
