    The Prayer Of A Godly Leader Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jun 11, 2024
     | 1,256 views

    Nehemiah was a godly leader; and Nehemiah was a man of prayer. One might be a successful leader in society apart from prayer, but prayer is essential for those who aspire to become godly leaders.

    The Prayer of a Godly Leader Nehemiah 1:5-11 In his work, Quiet Talks on Prayer, S.D. Gordon stated, “You can do more than pray after you have prayed but you cannot do more than pray until you have prayed.” In My Utmost for His Highest, Oswald Chambers affirms, “Prayer does not fit us for the ...read more

    The Dangers Of Pornography: A Biblical Perspective

    Contributed by Christian Jones on Jun 7, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,664 views

    Let’s discuss a topic that has permeated our modern society and has devastating effects on the lives of believers - pornography. It is important for us to understand the dangers associated with this pervasive issue.

    1. Guarding Our Hearts: Proverbs 4:23 states, "Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life." Engaging in pornography exposes our hearts to impurity and corrupts our thought life, leading to destructive behaviors and attitudes. 2. Sexual Purity: Hebrews 13:4 ...read more

    The Tower Of Babel

    Contributed by John Lowe on May 14, 2014
     | 17,947 views

    The story of the Tower of Babel is a sad description of the breakdown of fellowship, of failure in communication, growing isolation and confusion. It all results from human beings failing to live in dependence on God, becoming proud of their achievements.

    11-12-04 The Tower of Babel Genesis 11:1-11:9 1 At that time all mankind spoke a single language. 2 As the population grew and spread eastward, a plain was discovered in the land of Babylon and was soon thickly ...read more

    Jesus Tempted Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Jun 26, 2017
     | 15,679 views

    Now Jesus is to be tempted by Satan. Could He have failed the test? No, He could not! If He could have fallen, then He would not be a sure Savior and God would not be sovereign.

    Harmony of the Gospels -AD 27- Wilderness (2) Jesus Tempted (Psalms 91:11) Matthew 4:1-11, Mark 1:12-13, Luke 4:1-13 So far the gospels have shown us that the Son of God came down to the earth to be born a human. He had a normal childhood, except He never sinned. He was baptized to identify ...read more

    Where Our Unconverted Children Are Headed

    Contributed by Michael Stark on May 25, 2018
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,991 views

    Should we fail to reach our children, instructing them in the fear of the Lord, they will break our hearts and turn from pursuing God. The message is a plea for Christian parents to reach their children with the love of Christ.

    “There was a young man of Bethlehem in Judah, of the family of Judah, who was a Levite, and he sojourned there. And the man departed from the town of Bethlehem in Judah to sojourn where he could find a place. And as he journeyed, he came to the hill country of Ephraim to the house of Micah. And ...read more

    Standing Alone For Christ Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,611 views

    It is possible to be so used to seeing imitations that we fail to recognize the real thing. I fear that is happening in American churches. It has been so long since American Christianity has boldly lifted up a holy God before the culture that lukewarm C

    Standing Alone for Christ Revelation 3:1-6 Purpose: To warn against a type of Christianity that is impure.

     | 1,802 views

    Some people are going to panic while others will have some explaining to do if we enter a deep recession or worse and they lose their wealth or do not get what was prophesied. When it isn't scriptural prophecies will fail.

    2 Timothy 3:10 But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience, 11 Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me. 12 Yea, and all that ...read more

    The Inter Stress Of Involvement Series

    Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Jun 8, 2015
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,142 views

    We may not identify with Paul's physical sufferings as some of our international brethren can who are persecuted for their faith. But in this success oriented society we can identify with the inter-stress of which he speaks.

    2 CORINTHIANS 11: 28-33 [GAINING PERSPECTIVE Series] THE INTER STRESS OF INVOLVEMENT [Acts 9:22-25] Paul now changes from outward sufferings that he was called upon to endure as a minister of Christ to the daily pressure of concern that he bore for the churches and their leaders.

    For very obvious reasons, we are all members of society, and because we are, we are interrelated and interdependent. We are relational beings. The relationships we build have tremendous potential for development, or they have terrible possibilities for

    In writing to the Church in Corinth, Paul had to deal with basic fundamental problems. There was among that congregation issues around ENVY, STRIFE, AND DIVISIONS. These people were wrong in thought, word, and deed. Envying refers to the state of their souls; they had inward grudges and ...read more

    Promises, Promises Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jun 11, 2011
     | 4,477 views

    The system of sexual morality which begins with God operates on three levels, in three dimensions. First it binds the individual, then the couple, and finally the entire society. And each dimension reflects something of the nature of our Creator.

    So what is all this fuss over marriage about, anyway? And why shouldn’t any two people who love each other be given the blessing of church and state? Come to think of it, why should it be limited to two people? After all, David had any number of wives, at least 8 that we know of not ...read more

    The Call Of Samuel And The Fall Of Eli Series

    based on 134 ratings
     | 46,653 views

    The Priesthood has failed so God raises up a prophet to bring his word to his people. God uses the circumstances of Hannah to bring about his plan.

    I doubt that Samuel realised just what was in store for him as he began his service of God in the Temple with Eli. No doubt it began as a fairly simple routine of lessons and chores with plenty of time for games. As a young child he would have been looked after by the many people who worked and ...read more

    The Perils Of Misusing Privilege

    Contributed by Paul Fritz on Oct 18, 2000
    based on 34 ratings
     | 6,630 views

    Why do some people misuse their privileges? In this passage, Paul gives a historical survey of how Israel misused, abused and failed to take advantage of their God given privileges.

    Illustration:Complacency is a blight that saps energy, dulls attitudes, and causes a drain on the brain. The first symptom is satisfaction with things as they are. The second is rejection of things as they might be. "Good enough" becomes today’s watchword and tomorrow’s standard. Complacency ...read more

     | 7,224 views

    Every person must choose which god he/she will serve. James challenges us not only to recognize the choice, but to choose the God who will never fail us.

    I recently heard a story about several guys who were in the locker room of a private exercise club. They were all talking when a cell phone laying on the bench rang. One man picked it up without hesitation, and the following conversation ensued: "Hello?" "Honey, It’s me." "Oh, hi dear!" "I’m at the ...read more

    Like Israel many congregations within the Body of Christ have failed to live in obedience and like Israel have had to undergo the effects of their failure and are in desperate need of revival.

    Revive Thy Work O Lord Ezra 9:4-14 Introduction: Israel had been called to be a light to the world for God. Through continued disobedience the nation brought God’s judgment upon itself. Today the church has been given that task as God’s instrument to reflect His truth. ...read more
