    based on 1 rating
     | 8,931 views

    It is God's will for people to progress through the stages of discipleship from being spiritually dead, to being a spiritual infant, child, young adult, and parent. We must be able to assess where we are and where others are in the process so we all can grow to maturity.

    A. I like the story told of the little boy who was confused about something and said to his Bible class teacher: “There’s somethin’ I can’t figger out.” 1.

     | 11,079 views

    For Israel, “the exile had become not only their physical but national burial site. Their hopes, dreams, glories, and nationalism had been entombed in an alien land.” The question for a dying nation: “Can These Bones Live?”

    I want to begin our message with one woman’s testimony of her visit to a chilling archaeological site in Peru. Erin Lyyc says of her approach to the location, “Against the parched Andean earth [are] flecks of brilliant white.

     | 7,688 views

    This message was written in 2020. Some Christians are wondering if we’re in the endtimes. Jesus tells us that what we’re seeing is the beginning of birth pains. This message shows some signs that herald the nearing return of Christ.

    I think we can all agree that the world is getting pretty crazy, and some Christians are wondering if we’re in the endtimes. Some are even wondering if we’re in the Tribulation period. Well, if you believe in a pretribulation rapture – that Christ will take us to heaven before the terrible things ...read more

    Contributed by David Owens on May 31, 2021
     | 5,888 views

    In this introductory sermon for a series on the Book of James, we explore two questions: who is the author and who are the recipients. The sermon also drives home the point that we must be doers of the Word of God and not hearers only.

    Introduction: A. One day, a couple of weeks before Christmas in the mid1980s, I was driving on the back roads of Arkansas from El Dorado, Arkansas to Memphis, TN. 1.

     | 6,317 views

    The first subject that James addresses in his letter is how to face our trials. His suggestion is shocking: we should welcome our trials with joy. But his reason for the suggestion makes sense when you understand things from God's perspective.

    A. In Max Lucado’s book, In The Eye Of The Storm, he tells a story about a parakeet named Chippie. 1. Chippie the parakeet never saw it coming -one second he was peacefully perched in his cage, and the next he was sucked in, washed up and blown over. 2.

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,529 views

    In James 1:9-12, James helps us understand that in order for us to persevere in our trials with joy, we must adopt God’s eternal perspective on poverty and wealth.

    Allow me to start with two stories to get us thinking about perspectives on having too much or too little money. 1. I read about an exclusive school in Hollywood that was attended by children of movie stars, producers, and directors. a. One day, the children were asked to write a composition on ...read more
