    (3) Principles for Overcoming the temptation to lose heart and grow weary. 1. Preceive The Great Cloud Of Witnesses 2. Persevere In The Race Set Before Us 3. Pursue Christ, the author and finisher of our faith

    Introduction • The author of Hebrews defines faith as: being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see (Hb. 11:1). In my walk with Christ, this has been one of the most difficult lessons I have had to learn, namely, how to live a life of faith without losing hope, even when things ...read more

    Authentic Versus Counterfeit Faith (Ii) Series

     | 1,329 views

    This message examines the qualities of saving faith as revealed in Romans 4:18-22. In this chapter, Paul uses Abraham's example to teach the kind of faith response to God that ultimately leads to eternal salvation. Hint: It is not easy believism.

    Intro A major theme in Romans 4 is faith. Paul is aggressively contending for justification by faith alone. The issue we are currently addressing is the kind of faith Paul has in mind when he uses the word. We know from James 2 that some forms of faith are dead and worthless. We know from Jesus’s ...read more

    Haman carried bitterness and anger. He allowed one man at the gate destroy his entire world and ultimately it led to his demise. This too can be a challenge to christians, to let certain things go in their lives.

    WHEN YOU GIVE UP THAT ONE THING! ELDER PATRICK J. LENNEY SCRIPTURE TEXT: ESTHER 3:1-5 NEW LIGHT CHURCH OF CHRIST DUMFRIES, VA 22026 WE MUST FIRST UNDERSTAND THE HISTORY OF A SITUATION OR THE HEART OF PEOPLE BEFORE WE CAN ASSESS AND APPLY THE PRINCIPLES LEARNED FROM THEM IN OUR LIVES. ...read more

    The Reality Of Hell

     | 13,495 views

    People do not have a problem with the reality of life after death, it is the reality of hell that they can’t accept. Nevertheless, each person is accountable for himself. Ultimately, every person must choose his own destination.

    The Reality Of Hell Psalm 9:15-17 Many nations have turned their backs on God in ages past. We see the same thing happening in our own lifetime. Nations continue to rebel against God with each passing day. Naturally, we find that the people themselves are the reason for this turning away from ...read more

    Romans 15:4 Tells us that whatsoever were written aforetime were written for our learning. I believe we can learn from the life of Moses the things that ultimately contributed to his success.

    Romans 15:4 Tells us we can learn from the things written about people of faith written aforetime. Exodus 2:9-10 Tells us that Moses was taken care of under the supervision of Pharaoh’s daughter.

    But Nails Hurt! Series

     | 13,151 views

    Nails were distributed to the congregation, so that they could test: if you wish to endure, you have to endure some pounding. Holes may be punched in you, too. But if you persist, ultimately you will be built up.

    If you really want to grow, it’s going to cost you. If you truly expect to be built up, there will be some pain involved. No growth ever takes place without pain. That’s a law of life. That’s not negotiable. No pain, no gain. No hurt, no growth. No rough edges, no building up. If you truly ...read more

    Funeral service for Dock Burgess, whose last day of life was a time of acceptance and calm. We can take hold of contentment by learning to receive, by investing in a relationship with God, and ultimately by accepting grace for life eternal.

    I am persuaded that the fundamental human problem is anxiety. I’ve watched the way we live for quite a while, and I am convinced that the most basic human issue is that we are anxious. We are fearful and afraid; we are anxious. And it is not just that we are afraid of what others may do to us. ...read more

    During a time of great pressure during Ahaz reign over Judah God promised a sign of deliverance. That sign has its ultimate fulfillment in Jesus Christ. Jesus is the Christmas promise. Immanuel, God with us.

    Intro: God has a promise for every pain, pressure, and problem we face. Ahaz and the southern nation of Judah was in a very pressing situation in this passage.

    Life fulfillment and abundance is NEVER ultimately found in what we acquire, accomplish or achieve. It’s only found in the loving intimacy with God and others. The home the Lord builds is a home where people are the priority!

    Honesty - Silence Is Not Always Golden

     | 10,078 views

    Seeking God and having the ultimate relationship with Him requires complete honesty. Covering our faults and failures is no good to anyone. This message challenges the hearer to examine how honest he/she is with the Lord, himself and others.

    SERMON: The next person, after hearing this message, who tells a lie, no matter how big or small.....will fall over immediately and die. Ok maybe not, but hey, It could happen you know. Wait, it did happen.... Wait....it does happen......Wait.....it happens all the time. More on that in a ...read more

    Dealing With Ocd Series

    OCD is often joked about but this mental health issue can severely impact people's lives. Saul's obsession over David ultimately impacted his ability to rule Israel.

    In 1884 he moved to the United States with nothing but a letter of introduction to Thomas Edison. The letter was written by his former employer, Charles Batchelor, and it simply read, “I know two great men, one is you and the other is this young man.” Today, when we think of Tesla, we think of ...read more

    Worshipping Face To Face

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 6, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,820 views

    This is a topical message related to worship. I want to discuss the worship-related experience of coming face to face with the glorious presence of the Lord, which ultimately leads to the worship response of falling face down before Him.

    I have entitled our sermon/Bible study for this evening, “Worshipping Face to Face. I once preached a sermon entitled “Worshipping Face Down,” in which I discussed how people in the Bible often fell face down in worship in response to the glorious presence of both God the Father and the Son.

    What is clearly revealed here is that doing the will of God must ultimately find expression in following Jesus. You cannot do God’s will and not follow Christ. Apart from allegiance to him by faith, there is no salvation.

    Opening illustration: One dark and stormy night, a gang of thieves broke into a jewelry store, but they were on a mission with a difference. They didn't steal a thing. But they carefully went round the whole shop and switched all the price tags. Then they left. The next day, the staff came in, and ...read more
