     | 533 views

    The Christian experience of the believers in the first-century church may seem radical to many in the church today, but to those early believers, it was normal Christianity.

    Opening illustration: Video on Discipleship Introduction: While every disciple is a believer, not every believer is necessarily a disciple.

    We began studying practical teachings for everyday life for Christians taught from the Apostle Paul to Corinth. Paul opened the letter to Corinth telling them he had heard of divisions among them. A correspondence had come to him with many concerns of these divisions and other behaviors for which ...read more

    All that is required for me to have victory is faith in His Person, His Plans, His Purposes and His Power. Whether we know it or not, whether we live it or not, whether we accept it or not, God's people are a victorious people! And, we do not have to live defeated and discouraged lives!

    Isaiah 25:9 WHY WE WAIT June 16, 2024 President Eisenhower said, "There are no victories at discount prices!" Our military knows that truth on every field of battle. Victory always demands a very high price! The victory that you and I have in Jesus this morning is ours because God paid ...read more

     | 2,316 views

    Jesus is our Great High Priest. Without Him in this role, prayer would be empty words and hopeless. Yet, as High Priest Jesus makes intercession for us. Our praying is powerful because our High Priest Jesus actively works through our petition. What does Jesus do?

    When I was serving as a Pastor in Indiana, we lived near a college and monastery named, “St. Mary of the Woods.” At the monastery there was a place for elderly folks for elderly folks to live from the area so often I went to there often to visit. To be granted entrance to visit my members of our ...read more

    Why Are You Downcast?

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 7, 2025
     | 169 views

    Many Christians stumble, not because they never believed, but because they stayed too close to the place where they first got in. God calls us not only to begin the journey of faith but to grow in joy, perseverance, and victory through Christ.

    Introduction: Too Close to Where We Got In A mother tucked her little boy in bed. She kissed him goodnight, pulled up the covers, and went downstairs. Not long after, she heard a loud thump and then crying. She hurried upstairs and found him on the floor. “What happened?” she asked. Through ...read more

    Why was Esther in a King's palace? Was it because God put her there for a task He had in mind? And why Christians here at church? Are we here because of a task God has in mind for us?

    The story of Esther has fascinated people for centuries. It’s the story of a beautiful Jewish girl named Esther, and of the King of Persia named Xerxes (Ahasuerus) who fell in love with her and made her his queen. But from that point on… the story gets complicated. King Xerxes has a trusted ...read more
