Whether people believe that heaven and hell are real or not, does not change the truth. God has told us in His word that heaven and hell are real places, final destinies for saved and the unsaved. We will examine this briefly again this morning. We have b

In the world today, very few people believe that the devil exists, however there are more people that believe the devil exists than believe that God exists! According to a survey done in 2009, there are about 40 percent of church goers that believe there

The Bible is the Book, or more correctly the Books, the Sacred Writings of God to man. In it, God has revealed Himself to us; He has told us what is truth and how to practice it in our lives. This great God we have, gave us an instruction manual, the Bibl

As the years pass by, we see that referring to God in our society has become muddied. There are those who have made their gods from that which comes from man's creation, or they have made the word god, a by word or swear word. Sadly, it is because people

How will you react when the nation’s monetary system collapses? Remember 1929. How will you respond when another nation takes over our country? Who will you go to if your house and possessions are confiscated? Remember Germany 1933. Who will be your str

If you were presented with a life and death situation because of your faith in God, how would you respond. If a law came down from the government that you could not worship God, would you quote to me Romans 13, and say that it is ok, because we are to obe

Giving thanks for our food and God’s provisions for us each day should not be a tradition that is passed down from generation to generation, but a wonderful time to truly thank the Lord for His blessings. Last time we looked at the future to learn to gi

We have a common fear of the unknown. We worry about tomorrow and what may happen in the future. When things do happen that we do not understand, we wonder where God is in all of this. As we look forward to what lies ahead, we need to press on in Christ.

Thanks. A common phrase used in our day. Giving thanks. There are three ways that it is used in the scriptures. The present, the past, and the future. The present is when we say, “thanks” for something that we are currently given. The past is when we

Last week we examined how God exposed what His people were doing, and it was not a pretty sight. Did you gain victory this past week with blessings from the One who blesses, and did you strive to be like Him. Last week I encouraged you to go home, as God'

We live in a society where coverups or hiding things are commonplace. Things are not what they appear to be. The only way to know the truth is when these things are exposed! In the book of Isaiah, there is a message to the church in America today! As His

Throughout our life there are times when we mark events as significant or milestones. There are things such as getting a drivers license, or graduation, or getting married, or a new baby, a new job. As these are important, there are many other milestones

The time has come. If we want to see God’s hand at work in the world around us, then the time has come for us to consider our ways, show Him reverence, and then we will see His glory! We looked at the time has come to consider our ways. A Self-examinati

We spoke last time about an upheaval in this life and all the things that are going on to keep us from succeeding in our journey through life. We made the assumption that God would bless are pursuits, but He hasn’t blessed them. We found out the reason

We find ourselves in the middle of a chaotic life. Things we do, don’t seem to produce what they think they should. We pursue different things only to find out there is no lasting benefit. We have spent most of our life trying to gain something or get a

As Paul continues to give his closing exhortation to Timothy we see some truths that we can apply to us today. The same conclusions that we came to last time are repeated here with more emphasis. Let’s listen to Paul strongly urge Timothy regarding the

Again Paul speaks to Timothy concerning the men teaching strange doctrines, myths and genealogies. This is the primary reason for the instructions that he gave to Timothy concerning the gathering of believers. The congregation at Ephesus was being enticed

The process of being a gathering of believers is not something that just happens by osmosis, but it is clearly defined in God’s word for His people. He set certain things in order, to bring blessing upon His people. I am reminded of the people in Nehemi

Another important concern that Paul wanted Timothy to convey to the gathering of believers was the care and ministry of the Elders. He gave instruction about the qualifications of an elder and we even spoke concerning their work. Paul wants Timothy and th

The gathering of believers needs to give heed to the instructions that Paul gave to Timothy. We have already seen how believers should conduct themselves in the church, the gathering of God’s people, and although this speaks to a practice within the chu

Paul spells out to Timothy how he should deal with the people within the gathering of believers. These two verses imply that there would be times of dealing with each group of people on a group or one-on-one basis. As a leader of the gathering of believer

After summarizing the charge that he has given to Timothy concerning the gathering of believers at Ephesus, Paul points out 7 things that Timothy, a servant (deacon) of the Lord Jesus Christ, should be doing. Even though they speak to Timothy’s task as

In writing this charge to Timothy concerning the gathering of believers, Paul reaches a point where he summarizes what he has said and puts it into perspective. Paul would have loved to get there with the letter to instruct Timothy and the gathering of be

Because we are now of the same household, we become representatives of that household. Since we are the keepers of the truth and show others what truth is, then we had better follow the truth of Scripture. Today we want to look at the Deacon. What it is t
