"The Tears Of An Apostle"

Contributed by Mark Hensley on Jan 16, 2003

The Apostle Paul cried! It’s important that we understand the emotional and spiritual stresses that brought him tears. In doing so we can understand what should cause our own concern, and tears!

Southern Hills Baptist Church January 19th 2003 “The Tears of an Apostle” Philippians 3: 18-21 By Pastor Mark Hensley “For, as I have often told you before and now say again even with tears, many live as enemies of the cross of Christ. 19Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, ...read more

Called To Reign

Contributed by Howard Strickland on Sep 19, 2010

Salvation brings Spiritual life to the dead. Remember, the power that raises believers out of death, is the same power that brought them life, and it’s the same power that energizes every aspect of Christian living.

Called to Reign Text: Romans 5:17 17 For if by the one man’s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.) Paul explores the contracts between ...read more

God Loves Families!

Contributed by Eloy Gonzalez on Oct 1, 2009

Ordinary Proper 22: Our individualistic orientation as a culture has brought many ills upon us. Among those is the deterioration of the family. This message looks at Jesus’ teaching on the intention of God for men and women and children.

Leonard Sweet, professor of theology at Drew University was the keynote speaker at a theological convocation that I attended last fall. Part of Dr. Sweet’s message focused on the rampant individualism that has become so much a part of our culture. Here is a paraphrase of part of what he said: ...read more

The Full Corn In The Ear Series

Contributed by Rev.v.p Isaac on May 13, 2016

IT WOULD BE WRONG FOR A FARMER TO LEAVE A HARVEST STANDING IN THE FIELD. "IF YOU WANT TO TASTE IT, YOU HAVE TO HARVEST IT." THIS IS THE PRINCIPLE GOD TAUGHT ISRAEL BEFORE HE BROUGHT THEM INTO THE PROMISED LAND.

The above scriptures will form the basis of this wonderful study I am about to undertake with you for the next four months. I have been extensively teaching on the laws of God’s harvest for the last couple of years on a weekly basis at Christ Chapel and I have seen a vast difference in the ...read more

Paul Was Persuaded, How About You?

Contributed by Samuel Fulkerson on Aug 23, 2012

The price of Redemption had been paid at the Cross, however until Jesus brought His precious blood into the Holy of Holies made without hands, the Redemption of the purchased possession (THE CHURCH) was still in expectation, not possession.

Romans 8:1-4, 35-39 Why could Paul say this? -Because he knew that Jesus came to make “redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament.” Heb. 9:15 -Because he knew that the Law was a “shadow of good things to come.” Heb. 10:1 -Because he knew that ...read more

Can You Forgive Yourself?

Contributed by J Jeffrey Smead on Apr 15, 2013

We need to deal with our past in order to experience not only the forgiveness that Jesus brought to us on the cross , but to understand that his grace is sufficient. Forgiving ourselves is part of the Christian package. Beloved, His grace is sufficient!

Why Remember Communion?

Contributed by Howard Strickland on Nov 22, 2009

At man’s best, all he can offer isn’t enough. However, what Christ Jesus offered once, brought an eternal remedy. The proof, He sat down at the right hand of God.

Why Remember Communion? Hebrews 10:11-12, Ephesians 2:4-6 11 And every priest stands ministering daily and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. 12 But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God, 4 But God, ...read more

Will What A Christian Has Done Be Judged Publicly Before Everyone?

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jun 17, 2014

For the Christian, will our sins "be shown on a big screen for everyone to see"? I argue that while we are forgiven and saved by grace, our sins will be brought up at the Bema Judgment because they impact our fruitfulness.

The Big Screen Question: Will what a Christian has done (including their sins) be judged publicly on a big screen? - John MacArthur says no. He says that our sins will not be mentioned at all. I disagree. - The issue, of course, is not the big screen, but rather whether in the process of being ...read more

Introduction To 1st Corinthians Chapter 1 Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Feb 17, 2018

Paul had been brought up in Jewish learning; but the plain preaching of a crucified Jesus, was more powerful than all the oratory and philosophy of the heathen world. This is the sum and substance of the gospel. Christ crucified is the foundation of. . .

Family Secrets Series

Contributed by Vic Folkert on Mar 22, 2018

Family secrets harm families. In Jacob's family, there was disunity and favoritism. Family secrets need to be brought into the open, where they can be dealt with. Families can change the way they deal with issues: truth, attitudes, and actions.

FAMILY SECRETS—Genesis 26:34-27:45 Are you familiar with the phrase, “the elephant in the room”? Imagine some people in a room, with an elephant in the middle of the room, but no one wants to recognize that the elephant is there.

It Is Finished

Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Apr 17, 2025

The words “It is finished,” spoken by Jesus on the cross, were not words of defeat but a shout of victory. With those three words, Jesus brought to completion the most significant assignment ever carried out on earth: redemption for mankind.

Words Without Knowledge

Contributed by Samuel M on Jul 10, 2023

Job began to speak in great detail about his current circumstances and about God. These words had no knowledge of God and brought a misunderstanding or wrong understanding about God. It revealed a lack of comprehension about God.

Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said: “Who is this who darkens counsel By words without knowledge?” Job 38:1 Darkens counsel means to confuse an issue by introducing irrelevant or ill-founded considerations about God. Job began to speak in great detail about his current ...read more

Backtrack To The Bible Series

Contributed by Paul Robinson on Sep 15, 2022

When dealing with perilous times brought on by a corrupt culture, the Apostle Paul knew the answer: it was to go back to godly living and the foundation of truth as found in the Word of God. This was his counsel to Timothy in II Timothy 3.

Our culture has long been going in the wrong direction. We have made great progress in technology, but it has also been our undoing. Existentialism and Post-modernism have taught us to focus on ourselves and selfishly pursue our own desires despite the consequences. Instead of the church affecting ...read more
