    His Powerful Name; His Awesome Promise

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 5, 2023
     | 779 views

    We look forward at the end of our lives to participating in a New Creation, the very Kingdom of God and of His Christ, the Kingdom of Heaven.

    Saturday of the 22nd Week in Course 2023 The overall impression one can get from this very brief Gospel from Luke is that the Pharisees have nothing better to do on the Sabbath than find fault with how other Jews keep Shabbat. In this case, it was not a violation of Torah to eat the grain on ...read more

    The Glory Of The Gospel.

     | 736 views

    "If the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more does the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory" (2 CORINTHIANS 3:9).

    THE GLORY OF THE GOSPEL. 2 Corinthians 3:4-9. Paul is confident that the Corinthians ARE his letters of recommendation (cf. 2 Corinthians 3:2). This trust towards God is mediated through Christ Himself (2 CORINTHIANS 3:4). There is a denial of self-sufficiency, and an acknowledgement of the ...read more

    Jesus Welcomes The Goyim Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on May 21, 2025
     | 232 views

    The ritual and judicial commands of Torah encumber us. But we are not encumbered by the Ten Commandments--those words are for all humans

    Sixth Sunday of Easter 2025 I suppose if the church at Antioch were magically transported to the twenty-first century, Paul and Barnabas and some of the other Christian leaders might have been accused of anti-Semitism. That’s nonsense, of course, but it is true that when some Jewish Christians ...read more

    Two Ways To Pray, One Effective, The Other Not So Much

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Oct 21, 2025
     | 265 views

    Our Gospel from St. Luke is the only place in the NT where we can find this parable of the Pharisee and the Publican, or tax-collector. Both go up to the Temple to pray.

    Thirtieth Sunday Integral 2025 The deuterocanonical book of Sirach, a late work in Hebrew that survived only in Gk, is kind of a long reflection on the entire OT. It was used by the Church to help new barbarian members understand the moral law and the road to virtuous living so much that it was ...read more

    Neighbor, What's Up?

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 20, 2025
     | 26 views

    The Good Samaritan exposes self-justification, lets the law speak fully, and leads us to salvation received through mercy, not performance.

    Everyone seems to know the story of the Good Samaritan. It is one of those rare biblical stories that has escaped the walls of the church and entered everyday language. Hospitals are named after him. Laws are named after him. Charities bear his name. Even people who have never opened a Bible still ...read more

    The Priesthood Of All Believers

    Contributed by Eric Hanson on Oct 13, 2017
     | 9,674 views

    This is a highly foundational set of concepts, which every believer in Jesus Christ needs to grasp, in order to function effectively as the New Testament priest which he or she is.

    THE PRIESTHOOD OF THE BELIEVER Pastor Eric J. Hanson Hosanna Church: 1983 & 4/2/2017 Introduction: The New Testament teaches the priesthood of all believers, yet many Christians go through their whole lifetime with a mentality of being unable to approach God effectively. Jesus has actually ...read more

    A CHURCH OF THE NAZARENE pastor preaches the simple reality that God has made us a special people for the special purpose of performing a special function--ministry.

     | 26,254 views

    Jesus said He would build His church. What did he say about it’s foundation, function, fruit and future?

    WHAT IS THE CHURCH? A man bought a new hunting dog. Eager to see how he would perform, he took him out to track a bear. No sooner had they gotten into the woods than the dog picked up the trail. Suddenly he stopped, sniffed the ground, and headed in a new direction. The inexperienced dag had ...read more

    Telling The Truth From A Lie Series

     | 6,459 views

    There are those today, both outside, and unfortunately, inside the church, that are functioning like computer viruses. Through false teaching and unbiblical belief they are destroying the church.

    TELLING TRUTH FROM A LIE Text: 1 John 2:18-27 Introduction 1. Illustration: I remember hearing about computer viruses. Could a computer catch a germ? I then learned that computer viruses were often malicious programs, developed by evil-doers, to destroy computers. They are often downloaded ...read more

    The Church Of The New Testament - Part 7d Series

    Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Feb 27, 2018
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,851 views

    Part 7D is a continuation of the functions we observe in the church in its infancy, and corresponding gifts that enable and empower the functionaries to perform in their various roles.

    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

    Playing On God's Team

    Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Sep 16, 2023
     | 5,596 views

    This message is about spiritual football. I used the analogy of American football to explain what it means to be a functional member of God's team.

    Playing On God’s Team Scripture: First Corinthians 12:14, 18; 27-28; Jeremiah 15:16 The title of my message this morning is “Playing on God’s Team.” As many of you are aware, Fall is upon us and with the coming of Fall football season is back in action.

    The Fruit Of The Spirit Is Love

    Contributed by Kevin Maloney on Feb 6, 2006
    based on 10 ratings
     | 3,491 views

    "The fruit of the spirit is love...and against such things there is no law." Paul calls Christians to live beyond the demands of the law by walking closely with the Spirit and bearing his fruit.

    The Fruit of the Spirit is Love…And Against Such Things There is No Law Galatians 5:22a&23b In Galatians 5:22, God says “The fruit of the spirit is love” And then at the end of 5:23, after explaining how that love overflows in joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, ...read more

    Tithing

    Contributed by Jeff Van Wyk on Feb 12, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 13,362 views

    God appears to have established a set of laws that were recognized by Abraham long before the giving of the law to Moses and Abraham must have known that the tithe was due to God.

    Tithing Matthew 6:21 - For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Tithe means one tenth, or a tenth part of the whole. In its broadest sense, it means a tenth of one’s income contributed to a local church. There are many Christians today who do not practice tithing because ...read more

    Definitely the crowning explanation of the spirit of the law is Jesus’ commentary on the law in the Sermon on the Mount. It’s the climax of our discussion. Let’s examine some key elements.

    "Neither Do I Condemn You"

    Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Oct 30, 2017
    based on 1 rating
     | 11,776 views

    The story of the woman caught in the act of adultery and Jesus' response to the scribes and Pharisees' query about the law is one of the most intriguing episodes in the bible. Why did Jesus act in a way that on the surface seemed contrary to the law?

    Note: I developed a set of slides on PowerPoint for my use in delivering this sermon.
