    From Death To Life Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Oct 28, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 12,752 views

    There's a repetitive theme in Scripture: heroes and heroines of the Bible seemingly all go through the process of being given a vision by God, followed by the death of that vision, and ultimately the rebirth of that vision. How did that pattern apply to Jesus and how does it apply to us?

    Josiah The Boy King

    Contributed by Don Campbell on Jul 2, 2023
     | 1,725 views

    Paul commended the genuine faith of Timothy, saying that it had first dwelt his mother and grandmother. Josiah's father and grandfather were the worst of the worst, causing Israel to become more idolatrous than the surrounding nations. Josiah broke the pattern.

    JOSIAH, THE BOY KING 2 Kings 22:1-23:30; 2 Chronicles 34:1-35:27 INTRODUCTION A. The prophecy (1 Kgs 13:1-3). B. Fast forward 300 years to its fulfillment (2 Kgs 23:15-16). I.

    Faith On Autopilot – Going Through The Motions Without Heart Series

    Contributed by Dr. John D. Wentworth on Sep 27, 2025
     | 69 views

    There’s comfort in routine. Singing the same hymns, praying the same prayers, sitting in the same pew each Sunday—it all feels safe. But these familiar patterns can lull us into a dangerous place: performing religion instead of pursuing Jesus.

    Title: Faith on Autopilot – Going Through the Motions Without Heart Text: Matt. 15:8-9 ‘This people honors me with their lips but their heart is far from me; 9 in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’ “When routine replaces relationship” Introduction: “When faith ...read more

    The same strategies that fail outside of God’s timing can work wonderfully within God’s timing. The patterns we see before Moses left Egypt are repeated as Moses left Midian, but they now produce success because God’s time is right.

    The Return Ticket (Exodus 4:18-31) 1. I do not like many movies, especially newer ones. Although Christian convictions would limit what and how much I watch, if I was lost I still would rarely watch movies. It is who I am. I am, for the most part, a movie dud. 2.

    God doesn’t call us to be successful, He calls us to be faithful. We are called to pattern our lives after Him. We need to take inventory of three important areas of our Christian walk. Let’s examine them together!

    As we study this snapshot of the early church life, a pattern emerges: they focused on gathering, on the Gospel, on goodwill and on glorifying God. Because the early church maintained this four-fold focus along their journey, God continually added to their number those who were being saved.

    The modern worship patterns slowly take the real relationship with God and man. The worship is dominated by singing, music and dance. The deep devotion to the word of God is very much missing. This sermon takes you to know the meaning of real worship in today's context.

    But the baptism in the Holy Spirit is not a substitute for Water Baptism. Neither is Water Baptism a substitute for the baptism in the Holy Spirit. They are two separate but complementary provisions of God for every person who comes to faith in Jesus Christ.

    “Go ye therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.” (Matthew 28:19-20) We learn ...read more
