    Rooted In Christ

     | 4,671 views

    Paul teaches us to be established or rooted in Jesus by knowing who He is, knowing What He has done, and living connected to Him.

    Colossians 2:6-15, 16-19 Rooted in Jesus 1. Paul’s letter to the Colossians: Live rooted in Jesus Christ, “rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving” (Colossians 2:6-7). • Paul desires that the folks in Closse to be rooted in ...read more

    This sermon focuses on what it means to "die in your sins" as compared to what it means to be "alive in Christ."

    Good morning. If you have your Bibles, please open up to John 8:21. As you all know, we have been going through the book of John, and we are almost halfway through it. We have quite a ways to go. You may recall, if you were here last week, we talked about how Jesus was being challenged once ...read more

    Consolation In Christ

     | 1,962 views

    Paul’s point is that our own sufferings enable us to identify with those who suffer—and enable them to identify with us. Then they will sense the reality of the comfort we have received from God and find their own comfort in Him. The principle is important. Ministry requires vulnerability.

    Consolation – Relief or Support. As nouns the difference between consolation and comfort is that consolation is the act of consoling while comfort is the state of ease. Bless Him because He is God! You find this phrase “blessed be God” in two other places in the New Testament, in Ephesians 1:3 and ...read more

    Christ-addicted are prisoners of Jesus

    I am a Christian', that is always the response from most people when asked of their religious status. Often than not, it is a title bestowed as a result of the family religious background. In the real sense, Christians are christ-like. They admit being prisoners of Jesus ( Philemon 1:23) ...read more

    To keep the divisiveness in the world from infecting the church, take your focus off the messenger and focus on the message.

    A young rabbi found a serious problem in his new congregation. During the Friday service, half the congregation stood for the prayers and half remained seated, and each side shouted at the other, insisting that theirs was the true tradition. Nothing the rabbi said or did helped to solve the ...read more

    Progress became a secular god, a new form of hope for secular man in the 19th century, a progress that would lead to freedom. It was not to be.

    Monday of 2nd Week in Lent The call of Jesus in Matthew, which we heard at Mass on Saturday, was to “be perfect, as the heavenly Father.” In Luke’s redaction we heard today, the call is to “be merciful, as the heavenly Father.” If we understand that the root meaning of perfection is ...read more

    If we desire to impact our community for Jesus Christ, then we need to be unified. Using the illustration of the church as a human body, Paul shared how a church that is divided will fail to function properly; or perhaps, even fail to survive.

    “A father asked his young son to break a bundle of sticks. He returned a little later to find the boy frustrated in the task. He had raised the bundle high and smashed it on his knee, but he only bruised his knee. He had set the bundle against a wall and stomped real hard with his foot, but the ...read more

    We are engaged in a spiritual battle, and we must hold our ground at all costs.

    The Battle in Christ Text: Eph. 6:10-20 Introduction 1. Illustration: Video clip from the movie "Gettysburg." Scene 28. Key phrase, "We've got to hold it!" 2. It is fitting that this text, which may be one of the richest texts in all the New Testament, occurs at the end ...read more

    Just as in Adam all die, so in Christ all are made alive.

    CHRIST THE FIRSTFRUITS. 1 Corinthians 15:19-26. Without the resurrection of Jesus Christ, there is no gospel at all (1 Corinthians 15:12-13), and we are of all men most vain and miserable (1 Corinthians 15:14-19). Thankfully, we are reminded with a sigh of relief, Christ is risen from the ...read more

    The Return Of Christ Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Mar 24, 2022
     | 2,297 views

    When a believer dies, others are not to grieve like those who have no hope in Christ. But for believers we are grieving for ourselves and our loss, not for the person that died. This assurance believers have is because of the hope we have in Christ.

    Do we know the exact time of the return of the Lord? Yes, we do! But didn’t Jesus say, “that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven” (Mathew 24:36). Yes, He did say that. Then how do we know the day and hour of the return of Christ? It is when the trumpet sounds. It is just ...read more

    We have looked at our REDEMPTION, and praise the Lord for this. In this message we will look at our REVELATION. (And, in the following message we will look at our REWARDS.)

    In verse 3 we are told that God wants to bless us. Then Paul gives us a grocery list of things in the next few verses that God has blessed us with. Illus: One of the biggest days of the church year should be Thanksgiving Day. Why? It is obvious. Because we all have so much to be thankful ...read more

    In this sermon we will look at our REDEMPTION. (In the next two messages we will look at our REVELATION, and our REWARDS.)

    It is my prayer that by this time you are closer to the Lord. Illus: We do not have to be like the man who had been hired to paint lines on the highway. As the story goes, this man’s job consisted of painting the white lines in the highway. -The first day he painted three miles of lines. -The ...read more

    As we preach through Ephesians we find it is not a difficult book to UNDERSTAND.

    Illus: Speaking of things DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND reminds me of the story of the man who was walking on the beach one day and he came across a bottle. He kicked it and a “Genie” came swooping out. The “Genie” thanked him for releasing him from the bottle and told the man he was so thankful that ...read more

    Today we are going to begin preaching our way through the book of Ephesians. The title of this series of sermons is “IN CHRIST.”

    As we embark on this study we will see how we who are IN CHRIST have riches the lost world knows nothing about. It is sad enough that sinners know nothing about these “riches,” but sadder still is the fact that even many Christians do not know of the riches they have IN CHRIST. Illus: When I ...read more
