    Why Does The Bible Make Unbelievers Uncomfortable? Series

    Contributed by Dean Courtier on Jun 7, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 506 views

    "Why does the Bible make unbelievers uncomfortable?" This discomfort isn't a new phenomenon. Throughout history, the message of the Bible has often been met with resistance and unease.

    Why Does the Bible Make Unbelievers Uncomfortable? I once read about a man who was vehemently opposed to Christianity. After years of resistance, a simple, loving conversation with a believer opened his heart to the gospel. Today, he is a passionate follower of Christ, using his testimony to reach ...read more

    Recieving The Riches Of God Series

    The parable of the dishonest steward is perhaps the most uncomfortable one to preach on. But, there may be more there to learn than we had previously thought.

    A man took his seat in the theater, but he was too far from the stage. He whispered to the usher, "This play is a mystery, and I like this type of play so much I really watching them close up so I can catch all of the dialogue. If you’ll get me a better seat I’ll give you a handsome tip." So, ...read more

    Treasures In Heaven

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Aug 6, 2016

     | 9,492 views

    Our hearts will be where our treasure is. Those who are greedy and anxious about stuff put their emphasis on worldly goods. Those who trust in God’s provision invest their hearts in heaven.

    All of us are stewards. Does that seem strange to you? Well, it shouldn’t. All of us have responsibilities over one corner or another of God’s household. Just as we have to look after our own households, we also have to look after the part of God’s household that he has given us ...read more

    The Good Minister Of Jesus Christ

     | 8,763 views

    The ministry of the Church must consist of individuals who possess a genuine divine call and direction, as well as adequate preparation, and they must have the undivided support of their congregations and church leadership.

    The Good Minister of Jesus Christ Study Text: 1 Timothy 4: 6 – 16 6 You've been raised on the Message of the faith and have followed sound teaching. Now pass on this counsel to the Christians there, and you'll be a good servant of Jesus. 7 Stay clear of silly stories that get dressed up as ...read more

    Cooking The Books

    Contributed by Emilia Florio on Sep 13, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 13,296 views

    This message talks about the importance of being good stewards not only of our monetary and worldly resource, but of the abundant spiritual resources God has given us as well.

    Cooking the Books Luke 16:1-17 [INTRODUCTION] Have you ever heard the expression Cooking the books? Do you know what that means? Well, it has nothing to do with cooking or cookbooks, although I suppose that if you stretch the analogy a bit, you might say that it is a bit like Weight Watchers ...read more

    Patience!

    Contributed by Bala Samson on Mar 30, 2014
     | 7,804 views

    The worldly way of getting the steam out of you and giving a ‘piece of your mind’ to the person who has hurt you will not reap the right results.

    Patience…….Day 20 James 1:3,4 “…knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.”(Memorize) Even after many years in the ministry, I still learn lessons the hard ...read more

    The Tabernacle Part 9 Table Of Shewbread Series

    Contributed by Dr. Steve Newton on Oct 25, 2017
     | 4,884 views

    Beware of the fellowship that resorts to worldly means and amusements. The Living Word and written Word are the center of all fellowship for the priests of this dispensation. Learn the lessons from the Table of Shewbread.

    THE TABLE OF SHEWBREAD (Exodus 25:23-30; 37:10-16; Leviticus 24:5-9) The table of shewbread stood on the north side of the holy place A table always speaks of fellowship One day, on the plains of Mamre, Abraham invited three strangers into his home and gave them a meal at his table. Because ...read more

    Loss Is Gain Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on May 7, 2018
    based on 2 ratings
     | 22,305 views

    While serving the Lord and walking with Him, we learn a great paradox - genuine gain often comes through loss. We must lose certain things in order to gain what the Lord desires for us.

    Loss is Gain Matthew 16: 24-26 1 Tim.6:6-7 – But godliness with contentment is great gain. [7] For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. Many in our world today are fixated on material wealth and social status in this life. The majority of their energy is ...read more

     | 14,707 views

    Make your life really count. Find a cause greater than life itself and more important than yourself. That cause is found in Christ.

    Living For a Cause By Pastor Jim May Someone once asked me if I knew all of the answers to life’s many questions? In a joking manner I answered, “Sure I know the answers. The problem I have is matching the right answer to the right question.” But as I think about it, I don’t know all the ...read more

     | 6,039 views

    Jesus only requires two things - repent with belief towards Him, and to follow Him.

    Mark 1:14-20 14 Now after John was arrested, Jesus came to Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God, 15 and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near; repent, and believe in the good news." 16 As Jesus passed along the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother ...read more

    The Dishonest Manager Series

    Contributed by Allan Quak on Oct 10, 2020
     | 5,429 views

    Through this puzzling parable Jesus teaches disciples to act shrewdly by taking worldly examples bold and decisive action and learning from them. With the purpose of making a greater contribute towards eternity.

    Message Luke 16:1-9 The Dishonest Steward The parable we are about to read is universally considered to be the one of the most puzzling parables of Jesus. Let’s read the parable first and then think about some of our reactions. Read Luke 16:1-13 That is some pretty shady activity. Even after he ...read more

    Wisdom In Wealth

    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,719 views

    In perhaps the most challenging parable to understand, Jesus calls us to use our worldly wealth for divine purposes, to be faithful where we are, and to keep God first in our lives.

    Luke 16:1-13 Wisdom in Wealth What if you came to church one Sunday, and your pastor got up to give the sermon and said, “I don’t have a clue what this means!” Well, I’m pretty close to that with today’s passage. Maybe you could relate to that kind of pastor, since sometimes the Bible is just hard ...read more

    A Senseless Life

    Contributed by Bill Butsko on Nov 6, 2009
     | 6,127 views

    A senseless life is a life without God.

    Text: “So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female he created them” (Genesis 1:27). Since God created man in His own image, how come some people are living a senseless life? If we believe God created life and if we believe He did not create anything ...read more

    The Grace of God instructs us not only renounce ungodliness and worldly lust; we must also replace those desires with positive characteristics. We must also say yes to active service for Christ.

     | 34,968 views

    God wants us to enjoy life, but not without a relationship with Him. Beware of the danger of greed and placing one’s confidence in earthly possessions.

    Jesus was teaching His disciples when He was interrupted by someone who wanted him to resolve a family dispute over inheritance. He was not really asking for advice. He wanted Jesus to stand on his side and "tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me." (v.13). He wanted Jesus to get the ...read more
