    In a state of humility (poor in spirit), mourning (the natural response of brokenness), and meekness (submitting to Christ), they have a passion to rid themselves of the sin that fills them and to be filled with what they see in Christ (Hunger and Thirst

    “Those Who Hunger and Thirst for Righteousness” Matthew 5:6 “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.” Review: The single most important lesson we have learned about the Beatitudes is that they are not eight separate and distinct classifications of ...read more

    Christians Are To Live For The Lord Series

    Contributed by Paul Clemente on Nov 15, 2010
    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,766 views

    Christians are to live for the Lord by belonging to the Lord and each other and by accepting each other and appreciating them by not being judgmental or argumentative.

    Last week we noted from the end of Romans 13 that Christians are to live at the right time and the right place. If Christians do not grasp the truth that Jesus Christ can return to earth at any time, they will not have the right motive or the right power to live! When we get up in the morning, we ...read more

    Answer Ten: Don't Judge Or Compare Ministers Series

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jul 21, 2015
     | 5,596 views

    Some in the Corinthian church were judging the gifts of believers and preachers. This answer takes off from Paul’s ninth answer about letting God be the judge of ministers.

    Some in the Corinthian church had made the mistake of judging, boasting, and priding themselves in their superior gifts and achievements. They were judging the gifts of believers and preachers. They were usurping the authority of God alone to gift and to judge men. In reality, they were nothing ...read more

    Paul urged the Corinthian church to preserve their unity in Christ at all costs. We learn from him to work quickly through conflict, appreciate our differences, and know what unites us.

    1 Corinthians 1:10-18 Preserving the Union If you ever find a perfect church, join it, and it will no longer be perfect! And if you ever feel bad about the state of your church or the state of the church in America today, just read the Bible book of 1 Corinthians! These folks had lots of problems, ...read more

    Making a single nation out of a dozen tribes was not easy. Unity came hard for Israel; it also came for the United States. U.S. history may shed light on I Samuel’s story.

    Ready Or Not, Here I Come"

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Aug 26, 2021
     | 4,564 views

    The Bible is filled with thousands of promises and prayers. So it is very appropriate that the Bible closes with a prayer and a promise.

    • The LAST PROMISE is made in Rev. 22:20 by the Lord Himself. He said, “He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly.” • The LAST PRAYER is made in Rev. 22:20 by John the apostle. He prayed, “Even so. Come, Lord Jesus.” The LAST PROMISE and the LAST PRAYER has to do with the ...read more

    Becoming as devoted to each other as we are to Jesus is what it takes to walk successfully with other Christ-followers. Let’s explore that together.

    BIG IDEA: Walking with God’s family involves handling disclosure correctly, exercising discernment and becoming as devoted to each other as we are to Jesus Christ. 1.

    A sermon on how the church is reflected in the OT covenants (Material adapted from Daniel Overdorf's book, Rediscovering Community, chapter one- Covenant Graced)

    HoHum: Daniel Overdorf- I visited a friend in the hospital. He had neared the end of an extended battle with cancer. The chemotherapy had taken most of his ability to think.

    The Horizontal Shift Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Sep 19, 2021
     | 2,103 views

    Being a disciple of Jesus Christ demands us to surrender in two directions: vertically toward God and then horizontally to serve fellow citizens of the Kingdom. We cannot choose just one.

    The Horizontal Shift (Romans 12:3-8) 1.A customer walked into my clothing shop and asked to see the pants that were advertised in the paper that day. “We don’t have an ad in the paper today,” I told her. She insisted I was wrong, so I got a copy of the paper, and we went through it, eventually ...read more

    “Finding a Family” 1. The idea of “finding a family” might sound a little funny at first because you know and I know that we don’t get much of a choice as to who our parents are.

    God is concerned about leadership. Consider some of the great leaders from the Old Testament. One of the first names that come to mind is Moses. God’s hand was on him from the time of his birth.
