    What does the Bible say about why a church isn’t growing and how it can be corrected.

    Help! My Church Isn’t Growing In many ways pastors and churches are judged by whether or not their church is growing. It becomes painful to admit to the brethren that we haven’t seen growth in a church we pastor - whether addition by baptism or transfer. What does the Bible have to say about ...read more

    Sermon on the problem of suffering in the world.

    I think we’ve ALL been shocked and horrified by the events that have been unfolding in Kosovo, and the scenes we have witnessed of tens of thousands of refugees pouring into the surrounding countries as a result. People driven from their homes; families separated; stories of widespread murders and ...read more

    A brief look at Job 1 and 2. It took me about 50 minutes to deliver this message.

    This is a message about how we're taught unbelief, how we’re taught to question God’s goodness in all situations. One of the reasons the Lord is starting to show me some things about how we teach unbelief is because in those areas where there is wrong belief, there is no faith. In those areas where ...read more

    Why David Is So Important Series

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Aug 18, 2024
     | 1,303 views

    David is a hugely important figure in the Bible. But if we're going to learn from him we need to have an understanding of why he is so important.

    Part 1: Is David important? Over the next few months, we’re going to have eight studies on David, the shepherd who became king. We could easily give David much more time than that – he’s such an important person in the Bible, but we can’t fit in more than eight studies between now and December ...read more

    Why Not You Since You Are Chosen By God Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 8,067 views

    As the men and women chosen by God, we stay the tests of turbulent times because we understand Roman 8:31 simply guarantees that when it is our time to return to the fight, Our God Has Us Completely Covered.

    The content of the mentioned Scripture often send us wondering about the permissive will of God. This chapter of the bible reveals that Job was suffering from his illness and apparently as with some issues of life today, his suffering not only damaged his physical body, it changed the way people ...read more

    Setting your mind on the things of God instead of the things of man.

    Mark 8:31–38 (ESV) I would like to ask a question for your personal meditation. How do you become aware of God’s active presence being with you? Reading the Book of Genesis, we are introduced to Avram. A person God would later re-named Avraham. This person was being drawn into ...read more

    The call to the ministry requires that the minister respects the commission and instructions of the One who has called him and not allow himself the luxury of picking and choosing what he wants to do and where he wants to do it or what he does not want to

    Jonah is recognized as a prophet of God. Jonah already has a definite ministry. 2Kings 14:25 He restored the coast of Israel from the entering of Hamath unto the sea of the plain, according to the word of the LORD God of Israel, which he spake by the hand of his servant Jonah, the son of Amittai, ...read more

    Carols are an expression of joy that resides in our hearts, with a rhythm of God’s love, a radiance of God’s glory, surrounded by His caring arms, and gift wrapped in His plan for us.

    Dr. Tom Doubt, Senior Pastor Four Mile Creek Baptist Church Richmond, VA December 21, 2003 WHY SING CAROLS? Psalm 138 BACKGROUND: A. On these Sundays prior to Christmas we have been looking at the “C”s found in Christmas. 1. First “C” was the Coming, the prophecy that a ...read more

    The Psalmist of Ps. 40 was in deep despair when God set his feet on rock and put a new song in his heart. Can our hearts sing of the saving power of God?

    Does Your Heart Sing? Psalm 40:1-11 January 20, 2008 I know that this may sound pretty odd…maybe crazy to you. As I look back on my years in ministry, I can say that some of the most profound experiences I have had have been associated with death and dying. I generally tend to lump people into ...read more
