Causing the Church to Grow
The only way to build up the Lord’s church in a scriptural, God-pleasing way is to follow the methods laid down in the book of Acts. Beginning with Pentecost, the early church enjoyed great growth, first 3000, then 5000, then a great multitude. This growth was no accident.

Don't Ever Give Up!
Though there may be times when others have quit on us, let us never give up on God.

Faithfulness
Read from God's Word and decide if you are faithful in God's eyes or not.

Fellowship
Fellowship of men with men is an earthly tie which has an acceptable religious significance only when it complements our service to God. It is given divine regulations, but men do not always follow those regulations.

The Journey of Your Life
How's your relationship with the Lord today? Is it a journey of growth or just a distant memory?    

Satan
We need to realize that Satan is constantly trying to find out what it is that can carry us away from God. But if we stay tuned into the Word of God then we will be less susceptible to falling for his devices.

Love God, Hate Church
If anyone hates the Lord's church, then he needs to listen to what God has said and believe what He has said.

Why Go to Worship?
The main reason we go to church for every service is so that we do not die spiritually.

The Grass is Always Greener
There is a great temptation to spend too much time wishing for another life that we don't take advantage of the one we have. Paul said, "...for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content" (Phil. 4:11).

Have You Heard?
This group occupies a unique and enviable position, indeed! It is a position based upon and produced by the infallible Word of God. This group does not occupy this position merely as their opinion but because the Word of God tells them and all others to do so. Wouldn't you like to do the same?

Kindness is from the Heart
God is willing and wants to forgive us as we stumble through our walk of life, but we must be willing to forgive others first (Matt 6:14-15).

As For Me and My House
Good homes are not a matter of chance; they are a matter of choice. "Choose for yourselves" indicates that if you want a godly family, you're going to have to make some decisions along the way.

Wake Up Christian Parents
Many parents have forgotten that it is their Christian duty to raise their children up in the way of the Lord (Deut. 6:6; Prov. 22:6; Eph. 6:4).

Healing Sick Marriages
Nursing an ailing marriage back to good health is much harder than just putting it to death by means of a divorce.

Why Do Marriages Fail?
"For I hate divorce," says the Lord, the God of Israel, "and him who covers his garment with wrong," says the Lord of hosts. "So take heed to your spirit that you do not deal treacherously" (Malachi 2:16). I doubt many people take heed to what the Lord says about divorce or there would not be so many today.

The Cost of Eternal Life
The view that says that all we need to do in order to be saved is believe is popular and comforting, but, as the Scriptures reveal, it is simply not true! When we believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Lord of Heaven and earth (cf. Matthew 28:18), we must then obey Him and His will, doing His commandments and walking as He walked (1 John 2:1-6).

They Found a Man of Cyrene
The image of Simon bearing the cross of Jesus shows us the suddenness of cross bearing. But it also shows us the road to the cross leads to where we can leave the cross. Simon left the cross at Golgotha and Jesus bore the full weight of the cross in his death. Because of his death, we have an answer to our cross bearing.

The Whole Counsel of God
Those who teach that faith alone saves sinners and that obedience is not essential to salvation are not teaching the whole counsel of God.

Pentecost
The most extraordinary Pentecost of all was the Pentecost that followed the resurrection and the ascension of our Lord Jesus...On this glorious Sunday, we find Peter exercising the "keys of the kingdom" as he effectively opened the door to the church by proclaiming Jesus to be both Lord and Christ.

Why Did Jesus Come to Earth?
We see that only Jesus can give us life. But not everyone can have this life that Jesus came to give. Only those that do the will of the Father can receive it (Matthew 7:21). The will of the Father is to listen to His Son Jesus (Matthew 17:5).

The Sinner's Prayer
While the above prayer is, indeed, indicative of humility and contrition, the idea that one who is an alien sinner can pray for forgiveness—with an inherent right to expect his sins to be forgiven—is foreign to the New Testament.

Alter Your Direction
Our prayer for ourselves, and for the church should be as Jesus prayed: "Not my will, but Thine be done."

Spiritual Feast
What if there were a source of food and drink that forever satisfied your hunger? How valuable would that be to you?

Wrong is Always Wrong
We must remember that God sees everything we do. Just because no one else sees doesn't make it right.

I'll Do It Later
A poem showing how important it is not to wait to be baptized.

Spiritual Authority
Do you, and/or the church with which you associate, do all things according to Jesus' authority? Can you show us from the Bible all things that you do? If not, by what authority are you doing the things that you do? Let us all serve Jesus the Lord according to His will as revealed in the Bible! 

Stand
Paul challenges, "Stand strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. And, having done all to stand, stand therefore..." (Eph. 6:10-13). When your moment of trial comes—will you stand?

Social Drinking
Question: When did the evil steward begin beating the servants? Answer: with the first blow. When did he begin eating? With the first bite. When did he begin to be inebriated or drunk? Answer: With the first drink.

Sobriety
To be sober is to be free from any intoxicant. Certainly, alcohol and drugs represent intoxicants, but, power, fame, sex, money, and many other things can intoxicate people. Anything that excites a person so that he constantly desires the same form of excitement can intoxicate.

For They Shall See God
Wouldn't it be wonderful if people could see God by seeing us? That's the way it's supposed to be. We are to take all of the characteristics that have been revealed about our heavenly Father and make those a part of our own character.

The Lord's Church is You
Your daily acts as a Christian preach more sermons, teach more people, save more lives than the words that are spoken inside the four walls of the church building.
