    We Are The Watchman

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Jun 23, 2016
    based on 3 ratings
     | 9,291 views

    After the tragedy in Orlando, there were Christians whose response was anything but loving. The Bible is clear: God wants the wicked, those living in sin, to repent and live. That should be the heartbeat of every Christian.

    We are the Watchmen By now I’m sure most of you have heard about the tragedy in Orlando where 53 homosexuals, lesbians and transgender individuals were killed. And, as you also know, some of the responses were pretty typical of what you would expect to hear. When it comes to this one issue ...read more

     | 10,555 views

    Many people will be surprised at the Judgment Seat that they aren't accepted by Christ. The criteria won't be our works, or zeal, or even cooperation in the supernatural. It will be whether we are known to Jesus in relationship!

    “I NEVER KNEW YOU!” Matt. 7:21-23 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Dick Van Dyke once described Mahatma Gandhi. 2. He said, “Gandhi walked barefoot everywhere, ate very little, and often fasted, leaving him thin and with very bad breath.” 3. Thus he is often thought of as a ...read more

     | 7,879 views

    Are you rootless? Those in this category get excited for a while when they hear the word. But, when it gets tough, they aren’t...because they haven’t developed the capacity to hang in there by holding onto at least what they know for now.

    10-7-04 What Kind of Ground Am I? Text: Luke 8:4-15; Hebrews 5:11-14 Our text is Luke 8:4-15, and later we will use a passage in Hebrews; Hebrews 5:11-14. Listen as I read God’s Word.

     | 28,868 views

    Did you realize that God has a prescription for dealing with guilt and shame. And that this prescription works for both Christians and non-Christians. What could even non-Christians possibly do to resolve their guilt in sin?

    Ask, Seek, Knock

     | 16,842 views

    Ask and you will receive, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened. Does this mean Jesus is our genie in a bottle? Can I ask for anything I want and Jesus will just give it to me? There's much to understand about what Jesus said here.

    ASK, SEEK, KNOCK Matt. 7:7-12 1) Ask, Seek, Knock (7-8). Here we see three different words three different meanings. I think this illustrates a process; like a chain of events if you will. As the Fourfold gospel commentary puts it, “Asking is a simple use of voice, seeking is a motion of the ...read more
