Part 2 of this series - Does the church consider her stewardship accountability before the Lord? Stewardship is a requirement and a responsibility!על ידי Mel Kimberlin

Many today consider mission work as "willing hands to support the ministry", resulting in an erosion of biblical missions practice. Although this work may be for good causes, it is not true, biblical mission work. When it comes to true mission work, we need to do things God's way.על ידי Mel Kimberlin

Nothing is more perplexing to the believer than seeing the evildoers prospering. Yet, David knew how to deal with evildoers; and ultimately, they will not win!על ידי Mel Kimberlin

How can we contemplate love made perfect? If it were not for God, there would be no love. It took the love of God, and the work of His Son, to manifest this love toward us.על ידי Victor Brooks

God's word reveals God's love--in different applications, and different levels. His love in general, for all mankind; for His people (Israel) as a nation; and then a more specific love for His elect. How is it that we have obtained such love?על ידי Mark A. King

It is the local church (assembly of God's people) in which we glorify and exalt God, with an attitude of gratitude! We must be on guard, that the Lord may not remove His candlestick; thus, we need to be a church 'subject unto Christ'. We do this because we love Him, because He first loved us!על ידי Mel Kimberlin

The 'memorial stones' that God used to instruct the Israelites were not mysterious--like Stonehenge.The people had to obey God in order to cross over the muddy Jordan--a reminder to us to follow God. These stones were to be placed as a memorial for what God has done for them.על ידי Mel Kimberlin

In the ninth beatitude, Christ spoke directly to His disciples. He exhorted and encouraged them that they would face persecution simply due to their connection with Him.על ידי Mel Kimberlin

There are many "phrases"--or worse--that the world has for those who merely try to live for the Lord. This is another beatitude that addresses the conduct of men. Consider, are we persecuted...for righteousness' sake? Do we live a Christ-honoring, righteous lifestyle, regardless of persecution?על ידי Mel Kimberlin

Society could do well with peacemakers. When considering our own lives, are we peacemakers? Again, Jesus is speaking about the conduct of His people; how we are to conduct ourselves.על ידי Mel Kimberlin

In this beatitude, Jesus begins addressing the conduct of the believer; in this instance, to be pure in heart.על ידי Mel Kimberlin

Jesus is pointing out here that the subjects of His kingdom will wear the badge of being merciful. Let's consider; do we show mercy in our lives?על ידי Mel Kimberlin

Take a moment and think of a time you were physically hungry, and pining to eat--how did you feel up to then; before eating? What do we really desire here on this earth? What do we truly hunger and thirst after?על ידי Mel Kimberlin

John Wycliffe stated, "Blessed be mild men". What does it mean to be meek? Contrary to what modern thoughts are regarding being meek, or meekness, it is most certainly not a sign of weakness. Today, we will review three components of this Beatitude.על ידי Mel Kimberlin

This is a special day to thank Fathers!We probably know little about this man; the Father of John the Baptist. He was a Father that focused on serving, and trusting on God. Churches and families are blessed with blameless Fathers.על ידי Mel Kimberlin

Mourning indicates tears; and society tends to look at crying as a sign of weakness, especially among men. But, many men have wept for mournful reasons! Mourning proceeds from poverty of spirit, or, in spirit. When was the last time we have mourned, over our sin for instance? Today, we will look at three insights into this beatitude.…

This first beatitude should reflect our initial attitude - poor in spirit.על ידי Mel Kimberlin

Paul had a true, abiding concern about his people; God's people. There is a special position that Israel has; and nations that bless Israel will be blessed of God. We, as a nation, are not the standard.על ידי Victor Brooks

Personal vengeance on those who have wronged us is not the solution--the Lord will take care of that. Goodness, and living peaceably as much that lies within us, is the premise of this instruction.על ידי Mark A. King

Pastor Kimberlin examines the Long Hair interpretation of 1 Cor 11:2-16. This is the final sermon of this part of our study.על ידי Mel Kimberlin

There is always two sides to a coin; as there is an 'us' and a 'them'. But, this is NOT to discredit others, churches, or individuals. The Great Commission does not give any groups mandate to "police"; the Word of God is our real police. As such, Jesus does not admonish his disciples to forbid those who were doing things....…

If we have come to know God, by His grace, there is no uncertainty that God can do anything--even raise the dead! And, there is no way one can win when standing against His truth.על ידי Mark A. King

These men--mentioned in our text today--were unsaved Jews; more noble than those at Thessaloniki. They were more noble in that they searched the Scriptures, which we see the result(s) thereof, in the Scriptures. Do we still have the Scriptures today?על ידי Mark A. King

How powerful is (your) God? In our text today, John describes this magnificent phrase that will be conveyed during the marriage supper of the Lamb. Christ is.....omnipotent!על ידי Mel Kimberlin

In our text today, Jesus describes two rocks; Peter (Petros), the small rock, and Christ Himself (petra), of which Jesus states that upon Him (Himself), He will build His church. The purpose of His lesson was to focus His disciples on Him; thus, the focus for us here is on the identity of Jesus Christ our Lord.…

The psalmist is looking to God, to pardon him. A pardon sets aside a crime, etc., one has been convicted of. As the Scriptures teach, our iniquity is great, and only God can pardon us--He does this through His Son, Jesus Christעל ידי Victor Brooks

Suffering through wounds is not a "normal" thing to do, hence medicines and surgical procedures for physical wounds. We have some aids to mental wounds as well. But there are some wounds that can be helpful (surgery inflicts its own kind of wounds). There are spiritual wounds that can be helpful to us as well. In this message, we will see how faith…

King Saul, moved by pride and disillusion, when David was honored for his military victory, sought to take his life. Fortunately, there were men who came to shore up David, and help Israel fight the battles--they were, or became, veterans! We will see three aspects of the verses referenced in today's message.…

The Bible is full of lessons demonstrating God's wisdom for us! This Proverbs addresses the allurement of the strange woman--enticement! The "foolish woman" can be equated to.... self. You and I are subject to secretive sin and enticement. Self, Satan, and Society are all enticing elements...על ידי Mel Kimberlin

Shakespeare was quoted as saying (paraphrased) "A fool thinks to be wise; but a wise man thinks himself to be a fool". This world is full of fools who think to be wise. Jesus is (or at least should be) our wisdom--and we know by following Him, we cannot go wrong!על ידי Mel Kimberlin
