Can You Prove What You Believe? - Part Three
Pastor Dave Hixon E-mail Dave
Brush Creek Church of God Tipp City, Ohio
The purpose and function of the scriptures is not just learning them but being
convinced of what they teach. We must be deeply convicted of what we believe.
We have to train in the truth, but that also means we have to refute false
teachings. We have to be able to understand and defend what we believe. But

The Architect and the Builder
Pastor Mike Montgomery E mail Mike
Guthrie Grove Church of God of the Abrahamic Faith Pelzer, SC
What if the architect of a building had one plan and the builder followed another?
It could be a disaster, right? In our life's plan, God is the architect. He has a plan
and a purpose for our lives. He loves us the most, He wants the best for us, and
He's in control. It's not simply enough to know God's will. We have to follow it.
And when we build our lives around God's plans, we find God's will for our lives.

The Shema: The Creed of Jesus
Pastor Sean Finnegan E-mail Sean
Living Hope Community Church Latham, New York
Why do we have creeds? What is the purpose of one? What is "the Shema?"
Why not adopt the creed of Jesus, the central creed of Israel, the Shema as your

The Voice of Truth Broadcast: A Father's Compassion
Pastor Jeff Fletcher Email Jeff
In today's text, we learn who God is by what He does. He's a loving father who
wants us to be like Him. He shows us His love and compassion for us by what
He has done and continues to do for us. But after all that He has done, how will
you respond?

Faith
Pastor Michael Cisler E-mail Mike
North Kent Bible Church Rockford, Michigan
Faith is not just something we keep to ourselves. Faith leads to obedience and
action. We build it, grow in it, train in it, and stand in it. And our faith will be
rewarded. But are you sharing it?

I 'm Going to Get Up!
Kent Ross 11-11-1972
Everybody has problems. Problems are real and can be very difficult to cope
with. But often the real problem isn't the problem at all, but letting the problem
keep you down. You're not broken until you say you are. But the way to
overcome our problems is available to us as Christians. No matter what we
face, we have God on our side. And with God, we can confront and defeat every
problem...even riding a chairlift.

M an Lives as Though he Would live Forever
Z.B. Duncan 10-21-1984
How can you be ready for the return of Christ if you're not living or Christ today?
How can you be living for Christ if you're still living in sin? In today's radio
program, Pastor Duncan stirs us to live day-by-day for Christ and in Christ,
keeping God in all of our thoughts in this troubled world.

Church of the Open Bible Pomona, California
identifying and exposing evil, but overlooked the main thing. They had forgotten
their first love. In today's message focused on this early church, we learn how
to overcome our need to "always be right" and adopt a servant's attitude.

The Voice of Tomorrow Broadcast with Pastor Dale Swartz
A broadcast ministry of Kingdom Ministries, Inc (Litchfield,
Minnesota). Kingdom Ministries is a completely faith-based
ministry created to simply and clearly proclaim the message of
the Kingdom of God and to share God's love in a practical way. In
today's message, we look at the promise God made to David's
throne and his household forever. He promised their would be a
coming kingdom on earth and a descendant of David would be
the king. This descendant was Jesus. And the focus of the
ministry of Jesus was on preaching and teaching:

A fter the Order of Melchizedek - Part One
Pastor Gordon Landry
Flagg Center Church of God Rochelle, Illinois
Who was Melchizedek? Why is he important? Where is he mentioned in the
Bible? In the first part of this message, Pastor Landry details some of the
background and the importance of this high priest.

Psalms Series #4 - The Son of Man
Pastor Terry M. Ferrell E -mail Terry
Greenville Church of God, 217 White Oak Road, Greenville, SC
In today's message, we explore the title, "the son of man," a title
frequently used by Jesus himself. It is not a title emphasizing the
"human side" of Jesus but addressing his position. The first man
was given dominion over the earth but forfeited it through
disobedience. But God has given Jesus the authority to one day
have the dominion and power over all of the earth. Will you give
him dominion in your life today?

The Long-Range View
Pastor Hollis Partlowe
Dixon Church of God, Dixon, Illinois
In today's sermon, we look at an often misused text where Jesus
was addressing his disciples in an hour of crisis. He was putting
the focus on the eternal and not the immediate, looking beyond
this age and this earth, assuring them - and us - of things to
come. Knowing this, how resolute are we?

Entering the Promised Land: "The Future is in the Past"
Wally Winner E -mail W ally
Joy Fellowship Church of God of the Abrahamic Faith
Sometimes God uses parts of our past to serve us today and lead
us into tomorrow. It was the case in today's message in Joshua.
Before the Israelites headed on into the Promised Land, they
paused to take care of some priorities that we can learn from.
They stacked some stones. They went back to the basics. And
they acknowledged God's presence leading their every step - even
if there were battles ahead.
Joshua 4:1-7; 5:2-5; 5:13-15

It's easy to gather on Sunday and speak big. But do we mean it?
What are our real spiritual pursuits during the week? Ultimately,
it's not what we say, it's what we do. That's the bottom line in
today's parable.

G od Has Promised
Ray Corbaley Church of God, Faith of Abraham
Why were we created? Why was the earth created? Will everyone
eventually receive the inheritance from God? Are there
requirements? In today's thorough look through the Scriptures, we
examine these answers.

L iving as Children of God
Pastor Mike Montgomery E -mail Mike
Guthrie Grove Church of God of the Abrahamic Faith Pelzer, SC
Popular now are the little, bite-size, 100-calorie snack packs - but
they tend to leave us unsatisfied. Jesus never leaves us
unsatisfied though. And as adopted children of God, we should
be characterized by things of God. And as fellow heirs with Jesus,
we have an obligation to live day-by-day for Him.

The Gospel of John: W hat Do You Mean the "Word" Made Flesh?
Pastor Gary Burnham E -mail G ary C ornerstone Bible Church
John's Gospel was written in the way he uniquely saw Jesus
Christ. In today's message, we begin where John begins. There
is often so much theological discussion from today's text that we
miss the practical application of the theology itself. Why did John
even write his Gospel? What did his readers think? What does
John mean by "the word?" Did Jesus pre-exist his birth? What
about incarnation? In what way was Jesus before John the
Baptist? What does it all mean for us? Find out today.
