    Bible - Why Bother? #3 Series

    Contributed by Robert Butler on Nov 1, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,412 views

    The bible is the account, through poetry, history, song, prophecy, law, wisdom, gospel, letters, homilies of the History of God’s redemption in Christ, an invitation to life in Christ, and the promise of the future victory in Christ. God’s salvation in Jesus is the center of the entire story.

    Last week we focused what is the Bible and how should we interpret it. I put forth the scriptures are the inspired, authentic self-revelation of God and as such have primary and foundational authority in all matters of what we believe, what we value, and how we live. The week before, we focused on ...read more

    Bible - Why Bother? #4 Series

    Contributed by Robert Butler on Nov 1, 2019
     | 2,549 views

    The inspiration of the writers of scripture, and the sovereign work of the Holy Spirit in determining the canon of scripture, the ongoing impact of the scriptures in our lives and in the Christian mission give us complete confidence in the authority and reliability of the Bible.

    So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with him. 15 Bear in mind that our Lord’s patience means salvation, just as our dear brother Paul also wrote you with the wisdom that God gave him. 16 He writes the same way ...read more

    Why Is Old Covenant Obsolete? Series

    Contributed by Paul Clemente on May 20, 2019
     | 3,209 views

    We say we are Christians and Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior, why do we allow anything (rituals, religions, entertainment, other people, etc....) take more time and focus than Christ, our New Covenant?

    Let’s worship our God by listening to His Word. God’s word is Truth and the Truth will set us free. Our Lord Jesus Christ also said “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the fullest!” Our lives can be full if we trust Jesus Christ as our only Savior and God and listen and follow ...read more

    Why The Resurrection Is So Important Series

    Contributed by Brett Crosson on Jun 17, 2019
     | 4,800 views

    Christ rose from the dead. This reality impacted Christ’s Lordship, the devil’s defeat, and our salvation. It also releases power into our lives for effective living.

    1 Cor 15 3 For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5 and that he appeared to Cephas, and then to the Twelve. ...read more

    Why Do The Nations Rage? Series

    Contributed by Doug Fannon on Jan 1, 2019
     | 3,656 views

    Preached on the Sunday Following Christmas. King Herod tried to kill the Child Jesus and he is just the tip of the iceberg. All the nations of the world and people without Jesus are in rebellion against God. Why are they in rebellion and what is God reaction to them?

    This is the final message on the “Why’s of Christmas” and perhaps the more difficult to understand. We explored “Why Christmas?” a month ago. Why Jesus had to come and His purpose in coming was to die for our sins. This is why we will be observing the Lord’s Supper today, the last Sunday of the ...read more

    Why Believers Must Be "Separate”

    Contributed by John Gaston on Jan 10, 2019
     | 10,613 views

    God has called His people to be separate from unbelievers, and to separate from so-called believers who are living immoral and profane lives. Yet God has given us the ministry of being spiritual medical doctors to the lost and dying around us.

    WHY BELIEVERS MUST BE “SEPARATE” 2 Cor. 6:14-18; Matt. 9:9-13 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: TIMING 1. Most things in life have an expiration date on them. 2. I remember the story about the boy who asked his father, "Dad, are bugs good to eat?" The dad replied, "That's disgusting. ...read more

    Why should Christians love their enemies? What does love for an enemy mean? Do we have to like them too? Let’s examine what Jesus says in Luke 6:27-38.

    Why Are Christians Hated By The World? Series

     | 2,522 views

    Jesus warned His disciples that they would be hated by the world. Why? And how do we respond?

    WHAT DOES THE WORLD THINK OF JESUS? It hates Him. - John 15:18, 21, 22, 23, 24. 1. It’s easy to think of Jesus as a Mr. Rogers’ kind of guy and not think about the fact that they killed Him. He was not eminently likeable. - He called His enemies “vipers” and the “blind leading the blind.” - ...read more

    Why Do Christians Suffer?

    Contributed by James Thibodeaux on Oct 29, 2021
     | 3,863 views

    The only thing I can think of is this, we who have been called to this great purpose of conformity to the image of Christ will for that reason also be called to suffer with Christ.

    Intro: When writing this message, not to long ago, I had a conversation with a lady who lives here In the trailer park where I live. I was cutting her yard for her because she was hurt 2 weeks ago and could not do so and asked me to cut the lawn for her till she gets better. When she came to pay ...read more

    How many events and programs does the church hold that do NOT make disciples for Christ? Resources should be directed to the mission - making disciples for Christ.

    Why are you cooking chili? Rev. Dr. Michael H. Koplitz Mark 11:15-19 The Temple leaders allowed vendors to set up inside the Temple. A good question for that time would have been why did the Temple authorities allow the money changers and vendors into the outer court. The merchants could have ...read more

    Why Jesus Is The Only Way?

    Contributed by Je Layugan on Apr 11, 2022
     | 3,344 views

    Jesus is the only way to heaven. This statement sounds exclusive, confusing, surprising, or even offending. Nonetheless, this is true

    Do you know a place that can only be reached by a single conveyance? Perhaps a place where there is only a single road leading to it, an island that can only be reached by a boat, perhaps the outer space in which only via space shuttle humans can get there.

    I often ask myself what is the heart of Christian service? What is the real reason for serving the Lord?

    I often ask myself what is the heart of Christian service? What is the real reason for serving the Lord? Some people respond to every need, every call. Why are some Christians always faithful to the house of God? Some people are purposely absent when the pastor is out of the pulpit. Sometimes if I ...read more
