    No Better Than We Are Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jul 13, 2003
    based on 23 ratings
     | 5,895 views

    It is a dangerous illusion to excuse our selves by claiming that we are no worse than anyone else. We find faults in people who look too perfect or who don’t give us what we want when we want it. But help comes from Jesus, who IS better than we are.

    When you get caught in some sort of blunder, how do you get out of it? How do you take care of your guilt when you are weighed in the balances and found wanting? Let’s say, just for the sake of argument, that you’ve shaded the truth. I will not suggest that you have lied; you have shaded the ...read more

    Divided We Fall Series

    1) The Plea for doctrinal agreement (1 Corinthians 1:10), 2) The Parties that were loyal to particular leaders (1 Corinthians 1:11–12), 3) The Principle of oneness in Christ (1 Corinthians 1:13), and 4) The Priority of preaching (1 Corinthians 1:14-17).

    Tragically—though it is forbidden by God, is totally out of character with our redeemed natures, and is in complete opposition to everything our Lord prayed for and intended for His church—fighting does occur among believers, among those who are called to be one in the Lord Jesus ...read more

    They tell us we see two things happening when revival is about to come to a nation. No. 1, there will be a marked increase in conversions; people getting saved. No. 2, there is a changing of the moral climate of the nation.

    Revival in our day Ezra 1 7/1/07 It has been asked if America would ever see a real movement of God in such a way that we could call it a revival. I really don’t know whether we will ever experience revival as a nation or not but I can see little traits of revival in various places. They tell us ...read more

    Many churches today consist of small groups of believers whose number never seems to grow or increase. The attitude of many believers being "We are just holding out until the Lord comes."

    Ordinary Proper 21: Divisions among Christians are not new. Unfortunately, they are all too common - even among the same church members. But we are called to be one because of the price paid to make us one - the Cross!

    At one time, we had a large aquarium. It was fun to keep it up and to learn about the different sorts of tropical fish that we kept. One of my very favorite fish was the Betta Splendens. Sometimes they are called bettas or they are called Siamese Fighting Fish. There is a picture of a betta on ...read more

    To encourage believers to rely on the power of the Holy Spirit to step out of their comfort zones and urgently share the Gospel to all corners of the earth.

    Good morning, Church family! Today we're diving deep into the book of Acts, specifically Acts 1:8. In this passage, we find a powerful message about the Holy Spirit, stepping out of our comfort zones to witness, and the urgency of our witnessing.

    Deny, Take-Up & Follow

     | 13,805 views

    We must bear in mind that there’s no shortcut to Calvary and to Heaven. There’s only one way, that is denying yourself and following Jesus Christ.

    Introduction: Whoever wants to follow the Lord and becomes a disciple pays a great price. As believers we have five callings. First, we were called to salvation. Then we became babes in Christ born with a new spirit of obedience. As we progressed we are called to be members of the body of Christ, ...read more

     | 3,926 views

    As Christians, some are aimlessly wondering around not accomplishing anything for the cause of Christ. I believe that’s because we’re paddling the boat of mediocrity!

    I. Introduction A. James 1:6-8 B. As God’s people we have become tossed to every wind of doctrine so much to the point that some are confused altogether. 1. When we are unstable and uncrontrolled by the Spirit of God, we become undependable to the cause of Christ. 2. Our ...read more

    We can only enjoy freedom when we experience God’s Word.

    I read about a church that just installed its pastor. After preaching his first sermon, the deacons and the entire congregation excitedly told him how much the message blessed them. The next Sunday, he preached again. Though they still like the message, they felt they were not as blessed as the ...read more
