    Are You Concerned About Your Friends Without Christ? Series

    Contributed by David Dykes on Oct 30, 2014
    based on 2 ratings
     | 16,353 views

    Those people out there without Christ are not going to break down the doors of this church to get here and learn about Jesus. We cannot be complacent until someone has shared with them like somebody shared with us.

    INTRODUCTION Please open your Bibles to Romans, chapter 9. Today I am going to preach to you. You say, “Well, I thought that’s what you did every Sunday.” Actually, those of you who hear me Sunday after Sunday realize about 90 percent of the time I am a pastor-teacher. ...read more

    Consequences Of The Spirit-Filled Life Series

    EphesiansI is addressed to those who are “saints who are Ephesus, and who are faithful in Christ Jesus.” So, when he commands us to be filled with the Spirit, Paul recognizes that many Christians are not filled of the Spirit.

    Ephesians: Our Identity in Christ ~ Part 22 Consequences of the Spirit-filled Life Ephesians 5:18b-21 . . . but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord; always giving thanks for all things in ...read more

    Years ago when I was a young banker in Painesville Ohio, we used large leather bound ledgers in which all the accounts were entered by hand. Those ledgers remind me of God's ledgers in heaven.

    There is probably no greater summary of God's love ....than that which is found.... in John 3:16. Martin Luther called it ......the miniature gospel.

    Joy Versus Happiness

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Mar 12, 2015
     | 6,736 views

    The world relentlessly pursues self-statisfying happiness with utter disregard for the Joy of the Lord. Even those who authored the declaration of independence thought that the "pursuit of happiness" was a God given right. So ... what does the Bible say?

    Let’s take a look at a couple of Scriptures … Ecclesiastes 12:8 (NASB) “Vanity of vanities,” says the Preacher, “all is vanity!” Ecclesiastes 12:8 (HCSB) “Absolute futility,” says the Teacher. “Everything is futile.” Ecclesiastes ...read more

    Armed Forces Day is time set aside to recognize members of the Armed Forces that are currently serving. I would propose to you that we can and should show appreciation for those who are presently serving in the Armed Forces.

    Title: Appropriate Praise Theme: Biblically Supporting Our Armed Forces The Bible says, "No king is saved by the size of his army; no warrior escapes by his great strength. A horse is a vain hope for deliverance; despite all its great strength it cannot save. But the eyes of the LORD are ...read more

     | 4,016 views

    When we act in favor of the poor–either by providing housing and food and medical care or by helping them to build systems that provide those things–we are acting as the Father and Son have done for us.

    Thursday of 1st week in Advent 2015 Joy of the Gospel During the time of Advent, we look forward to the return of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

    For the Sunday after Christmas I asked this question..."what if no one told the story? What if we gave up? If those who came before us had given up we would not be where we are now.

    “What if we give Up? Luke 2:8-20 Most of us have seen this movie more times than we can count.

     | 4,133 views

    Those who belong to Christ are identified with Him not only in words, but they should live like Him in their deeds. We should have a desire to surrender and offer ourselves as His servant first, and from that springs life in the Spirit.

    Heart Trouble

    Contributed by Scott Spencer on Jul 15, 2014
     | 3,935 views

    The Scripture teaches that persecution comes from every side to those who live like Jesus. Living for Jesus is radical. It is intrinsically counter-cultural. To walk like Jesus we walk against the flow of our culture.

    Heart Trouble Mark 15:1-20 Jesus before Pilate 1 Early in the morning the chief priests with the elders and scribes and the whole Council, immediately held a consultation; and binding Jesus, they led Him away and delivered Him to Pilate. 2 Pilate questioned Him, “Are You the King of the ...read more

    The Power Of The Blood

    Contributed by Jerry Flury on Aug 30, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 14,867 views

    A scarlet thread runs through the Bible teaching this most central truth that there is power in the blood of the Lamb of God. Redemption, forgiveness, sanctification, accessibility, and victory through His blood for those who receive His sovereign grace.

    The Power of the Blood 1 Peter 1:18-23 Many like the French philosopher Voltaire and President John Adams are critical of biblical Christianity calling it a “bloody religion” or "a religion of gore" because of its teachings and emphasis on the power of the blood of the Lord Jesus ...read more

    Christian 12 Steps

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on May 8, 2014

    Recently I had a witnessing opportunity with an alcoholic who wanted nothing to do with Jesus but was devoted to the "god as we understand him" promoted in the 12 step program. This is a closer look at those steps and how they compare to Scripture.
