    Ministry Is A Liability

    Contributed by Heather Cook on Jan 4, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,891 views

    A personal story of my first few years in ministry. I tie it into the fact that when you are doing effective ministry you will have enemies. Just as Christ did.

    I was 21 when I first set foot in Connecticut Valley Seventh-Day-Adventist Church. I was nearly a month married, full of enthusiasm and excitement for the adventure of “real” life. Totally unprepared for the reality of it. I was well armed with a bevy of important and well-educated sounding ...read more

     | 4,878 views

    Christ rose from the dead. This reality impacted Christ’s Lordship, the devil’s defeat, and our salvation. It also releases power into our lives for effective living.

    1 Cor 15 3 For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5 and that he appeared to Cephas, and then to the Twelve. ...read more

    The Priesthood Of All Believers

    Contributed by Eric Hanson on Oct 13, 2017
     | 9,697 views

    This is a highly foundational set of concepts, which every believer in Jesus Christ needs to grasp, in order to function effectively as the New Testament priest which he or she is.

    THE PRIESTHOOD OF THE BELIEVER Pastor Eric J. Hanson Hosanna Church: 1983 & 4/2/2017 Introduction: The New Testament teaches the priesthood of all believers, yet many Christians go through their whole lifetime with a mentality of being unable to approach God effectively.

    One of the reasons why we fail to make use of the scripture is the wrong approach to it. We read, hear yet somewhere we fail to get the effect of it.

    HOW TO APPROACH THE BIBILE Nehemiah 8 Introduction: One another reason why we fail to make use of the scripture is the wrong approach to it.

    based on 4 ratings
     | 1,340 views

    Living generously creates a ripple effect that can impact others and future generations. Our generosity is a response to Jesus' self-sacrificing love and can inspire others to be generous.

    You know when you toss a pebble into a pond, and it creates ripples that spread out? That's what we're talking about. Our actions, like that pebble, can create ripples that impact others. We've all been influenced by someone, and that person was influenced by someone before them. It's like a chain ...read more

    Following God’s Mission For Kingdom Expansion Series

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on May 11, 2023
     | 3,232 views

    The persecution forced the church to decisions that would unlock the full potential of the Church in terms of scope, efficiency, and effectiveness. The Church at Jerusalem became the Church on the move. We are a part of that movement.

    Sermon: Following God’s Mission For Kingdom Expansion Scripture: Acts 8:1-8 “Saul was one of the witnesses, and he agreed completely with the killing of Stephen. A great wave of persecution began that day, sweeping over the church in Jerusalem; and all the believers except the apostles were ...read more

    Hope is a gift from God. It effects our outlook and how we interact with others. Hope can keep us alive and help us reach our goals.

    Pandora’s Box Saint Augustine said: "Let those who dread be allowed to hope," But what exactly is hope? I’ll start with Greek Mythology because I’m reminded of the story of Pandora. Mythology stated that Zeus first created only men. Prometheus first stole fire for man then tricked ...read more

    Paul bore the stigmata in his body, the branding marks because of faith, as did the Lord. He suffered much. Grace and mercy are looked at, and circumcision yet again. The new creation as opposed to keeping the Law. And wonderful Blandina tortured for faith.

    A Good Plan That Went Awry – Or Did It? Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on May 24, 2021
     | 2,464 views

    A unanimous apostolic plan that went awry, Jewish rumors, gentile riots, and an apostle getting a ride on Roman soldiers. The purpose of the Christian life is not to avoid problems; indeed, God can sometimes use our problems to further His plans.

    A Good Plan That Went Awry – Or Did It? (Acts 21:17-40) 1. The invention of Post-it notes is interesting. What seemed like a failure was turned to a great success: In 1968, scientist Spencer Silver at the 3M company created a very weak adhesive that would peel off when removed from any surface. ...read more

    Ruth’s pledge to Naomi has such a powerful effect on us that many include her words in their weddings and on jewelry. God also regards her commitment as the basis of true love.

     | 7,217 views

    When it comes to praying for peace, we do not have to pray the way world wants us to pray; we can use Biblical models which are much more effective.

    INTRODUCTION The terror attack in Madrid today raises our consciousness once again to the undercurrent of war and destruction which continue to flow throughout the world. Today’s events also remind Christians everywhere of the need for serious prayer. We need (more than any other time) to pray ...read more
