    Four Steps To Bearing Fruit

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 6, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 8,935 views

    John chapter 15 speaks of bearing fruit, which we often interpret as winning lost souls to Christ. However, winning people to Christ is only one meaning of the word fruit. Fruit symbolized the best result or sweetest prize in life.

    One time on the farm I was sitting on my porch admiring the rose bushes that were in bloom. A couple of weeks prior they had appeared to be dead. They hadn’t been pruned in over two years since my mom passed away. Each bush was a huge mass of dead branches. My wife asked me about them, and I ...read more

    The Dimensions Of The Lord’s Table

    Contributed by James Snyder on Jun 24, 2017
    based on 1 rating
     | 9,421 views

    To understand the dimensions of the Lord’s Table is to fully grasp the character and nature of our Christian experience.

    1 Corinthians 10:14-33, 1 Corinthians 11:17-34 The Lord’s Table is a continuing memorial of the death, burial and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is the one thing Christians have celebrated from the very beginning. Jesus said to the early Christians concerning this, “This do in ...read more

    I Know History; I Do Not Know Myself Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Mar 4, 2002
    based on 31 ratings
     | 9,686 views

    It is one thing to know history and theology; it is another entirely to understand our own hearts. Job’s pilgrimage into self-understanding led to self-hatred, but in Christ that can be redeemed.

    I’ll ask you to repeat with me this wonderful, ringing affirmation from the New Testament: But I am not ashamed, for I know the one in whom I have put my trust, and I am sure that he is able to guard until that day what I have entrusted to him. I know. I know the one in whom I have put my trust. ...read more

    We must understand who we are as fallen man to understand our need and dependency on God. "What is Man" borrows several quotes from the Chineese martyr Dr. Yu.

    What is Man? 9-9-01 Psalm 8, Genesis 2:7, 3:1-6 The Psalmist David while considering the wonder of the night sky and its myriad’s of stars asked, “What is man that you are mindful or him or the son of man that you should visit him?” The NIV translates that last part “care for him.” Today more ...read more

    Here is what Paul wants the Corinthians to understand and what the Holy Spirit would have us understand. What matters is to follow Jesus Christ wherever that may lead us.

    Introduction It has been three weeks since we have been in 1 Corinthians. You will recall that Paul has been admonishing the Corinth saints for division in the church and for their being enamored with worldly wisdom. The underlying issue, we noted, was the tension between the church and Paul, ...read more

    The love of God is more than we can understand, but he has lavished it upon us! How do we understand that, how do we respond to that?

    How great the Fathers love; lavished! There are some truly magnificent things that can happen in a person’s life. The foundations of true friendship as you meet people for the first time and you know that there will be a bond between you. I have friends like this that after years we can get ...read more

    Before we can understand what it means to be holy, we must understand what it means to say that God is Holy. In many ways holiness is God’s Central Attribute

    Contributed by David Owens on Nov 15, 2021
     | 7,489 views

    As we come to understand that it is all about God and not about us, we must understand that God is eternal, but life is short, and so we must live for God with an eternal perspective.

    Introduction: A. One day a man was speaking with God and he asked him, “God is it true that to you a thousand years is just a minute?” “That’s true,” God replied. 1. The man continued, “And is it true that to you a million dollars is like a penny?” “Yes, That’s true,” God said. 2. Then the man ...read more

     | 1,305 views

    In the first sermon it was mentioned that in order to understand the books of 1, 2, and 3 John, we first needed to understand some things about the place John wrote from, Ephesus.

    Because this is essential, I would like to refresh your memory before we get into the heart of this sermon. We dealt with these FOUR things about the Ephesian Christians: (1) THEIR HERITAGE. They were second and third generation Christians. Their parents and grandparents had been in the ...read more

    Anxiety seems to be a problem today for both the saved and the unsaved. While we can understand it might be a problem with the unsaved, we have a difficult time understanding why it is a problem with the saved.

    WHY IS ANXIETY SUCH A PROBLEM TODAY? Someone printed these words under a tranquil scene on a calendar: "Today is the tomorrow we worried about yesterday." We do spend a lot of time worrying about tomorrow. So many in our society insist on trying to carry the… • Burdens of the ...read more
