The Development Of A Man/Woman Of God

Contributed by John Gaston on Jul 22, 2019

Daniel, a normal believer, was transformed into a person of such insight and faith, that he was promoted to serve 5 kings from three different conquering nations. What steps did he take that caused such a transformation?

THE DEVELOPMENT OF A MAN/WOMAN OF GOD Dan. 1:3-17 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: FREE HAIRCUTS 1. One day a Barber cut a minister’s hair.

Are The Ministry Gifts And Calling Of God Without Repentance?

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Aug 13, 2019

There is a belief in the church today that a person called to minister can still be effectual in reaching others for the sake of the Gospel because “the gifts and calling of God are without repentance” (Rom 11:29 KJV).

In other words, a person can be in active and open unholy living and in rebellion to God’s law and still retain their position to be used to bless others without changing their sinful ways through repentance. It is true that God can use anything to promote His kingdom. He even used a donkey to get ...read more

Contributed by Charles Cunningham on May 13, 2020

In times like these, when awareness of the inevitability of suffering gives rise to questions and doubts, mature Christians rely on the Word of God and reflect upon personal experiences of trusting God in and through it all.

MATURE CHRISTIANS VIEW SUFFERING AS INEVITABLE BUT REDEEMABLE Talking to myself this past week, a question posed by many kept surfacing in my mind: “Why am I Suffering”? The answer I gave to myself was, “I am not suffering”. My motto could very well be ...read more

Address Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Mar 3, 2018

Paul's call to the office of an Apostle had nothing to do with personal merit; he says instead that he is "an apostle by the will of God," and this is what constitutes the ground of the authority he claims in the Corinthian Church.

Lesson 1.1: Address Scripture 1 Corinthians 1.1-1.3 1 Cor 1:1-3 (KJV) 1 Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother, 2 Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all ...read more

An Interview From Hell

Contributed by Michael Stark on Jan 27, 2022

What would a person in hades ask of us if we were able to hear them? Jesus provides us insight into this dark situation when He reveals what a lost man asked.

“There was a rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and who feasted sumptuously every day. And at his gate was laid a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, who desired to be fed with what fell from the rich man’s table. Moreover, even the dogs came and licked his sores.

Uniqueness Of Jesus - The Tomb Opener!! (Sermon #1) Series

Contributed by Peter Naveen Saketi on Sep 17, 2021

The only person in the whole universe was raised by himself from dead and never died again is Jesus! All the others were raised by someone's prayer but then later on, died again.

Wages of sin is death! Romans 6:23 1. WHY DEATH AND TOMB COULD NOT HOLD JESUS FOR MORE THAN 3 DAYS AND 3 NIGHTS? The reason behind is, Jesus was sinless, there is no sin in Him, death & tomb's can only hold the ones who had sinned and died. In the other words we can say the requirement ...read more

Did Judas Do Any Good? Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 5, 2023

Judas got nothing good–not pleasure or honor or power. He ended up being the only person in the Bible whom God judged as being better off never being born.

Wednesday of Holy Week 2023 It does not seem terribly fair what happened to poor Kerioth-born Judas, as Matthew records it. He sells out Jesus for what in today’s currency would be about $260. Then, seeing Jesus condemned to death, he changes his mind and attempts to return the money to the ...read more

Sermon On A Double Life

Contributed by William Meakin on Aug 25, 2024

A double life could be considered as a twin existence, or leading the life of a double-minded person who amalgamates two fallacious entities in one, but ensures that both are conspicuously segregated from each other.

Stephanie Klein, an American strategist and consultant once remarked: “If someone wants to lead a double life, they will find a way to do it. And they can promise you things until your nerves unfold and you can finally put up your feet. But it can all be a lie. There are no guarantees, even when ...read more

The Secret To Knowing God Series

Be Supportive Of Other Churches Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Oct 30, 2021

If we serve the Lord with the impure motive of personal gain, instead of with the intention of leading people to faith in Christ, then we can become self-focused, critical and judgmental of other believers and other churches.

The apostle Paul once admonished the Philippians, “Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others” (Philippians 2:3-4). In ...read more
