    Whatever we do will meet us again. We should do our best to lift Christ up.. When we fail to do that we deny him to a world of unbelievers. That denial will haunt us “when the chickens come home to roost.”

    When The Chickens Come Home To Roost A Sermon by Roosevelt Wright, Jr. For the Tabernacle Baptist Church Monroe, La. November 2005 SCRIPTURE: And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how he had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny ...read more

    What God Wants On Sunday Morning

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jun 16, 2010
    based on 5 ratings
     | 9,352 views

    We are incurably religious, thinking that if we use the right formulas, we will be acceptable to God. But God wants our personal involvement and our investment in understanding Him.

    Our most persistent sin is that we are religious. Of all the sins that men and women commit, of all the wrongheaded directions we take, of all the wayward wanderings on which we go, none is more persistent than this: that we are religious. As someone has put it, we are incurably religious. ...read more

    Time Of Testing Series

    based on 65 ratings
     | 20,231 views

    Some scholars have said that Hezekiah started out good and then went bad. I think that’s a short sighted description of a man who was not that much different than we are.

    OPEN: A man spoke of one of the most challenging courses he’d had at his college as being a business law class in which the professor gave difficult true/false tests. "During one of the more exasperating exams, I noticed another student flipping a coin. The professor approached him. ’Son are you ...read more

    Life is a great journey on which we are in the process of going through. The Christian Life has often been compared to a “race”, a “fight”, a “warfare”, a “journey”, and more.

    SHIPWRECKED FAITH 1 Tim. 1:18-20 Timothy, my son, I give you this instruction in keeping with the prophecies once made about you, so that by following them you may fight the good fight, [19] holding on to faith and a good conscience. Some have rejected these and so have shipwrecked their ...read more

    We must get out of the upper room to live for Jesus. It is about evangelism.

    Since Easter we have been considering what keeps us locked away in the upper room like the Disciples. The point that I keep trying to support is that we need to learn how to be a church that is not limited by walls…Wither as protection from the world pressing in on us or as a way of blocking our ...read more

    The Relationship Of Believers To Believers Series

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Feb 29, 2012
     | 10,089 views

    How believers relate to other believers is important. That’s because division will destroy a body of people quicker than any other single thing. Division destroys the body of Christ, the fellowship of believers, and the witness of believers.

    Last week we talked about the relationship of Jesus to believers. We got into a lengthy discussion about the joy that only God can give. We saw that as God loves His Son Jesus Christ, so Christ loves us. Tonight Jesus talks about the relationship of believers to believers. How believers relate ...read more

    January 22, 2022 The book of HEBREWS was written to Jewish Christians, who, at some point had experienced a saving relationship with Jesus.

    Looks at how the Apostles so lived that when they were accused of being Christians and preaching Christ, there was enough evidence to convict them

    “I Wanna Be Guilty!” : Acts 8:1-6, 4:19-20. 5:27-29 David P. Nolte It’s a human tendency to defend our innocence when we are accused even if we are guilty. We may even attempt defending the actions we cannot deny. We may rationalize, minimize, justify or even lie about ...read more

    God asked Ezekiel "Can these bones live?" And they did. What did that vision mean then, and what does it mean to us today?

    (We began with this dramatic reenactment of the Ezekiel 37 passage found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8lKpzzOEhyY) What you just saw was a powerful reenactment of the vision that God gave to Ezekiel (the video showed a view of the valley of bones being bought to life while a narrator read ...read more

    A sermon about being a disciple.

    “Be Careful of the Company You Keep” Mark 2:13-17 There can be no doubt, this is one of my favorite scenes in the Gospels and that is saying a lot. We are able to see the Lord interacting with human beings in a very radical way, a very subversive way, a very new way. And it is absolutely ...read more
