We are commanded to pray (1 Thess. 5:17; Phil. 4:6). If it is something Christians are expected to do, then getting in and doing it is important! A prayer does not have to be long or eloquent to be effective (Neh. 5:19; Matt. 6:7-8; Luke 18:9-14). Maturing in prayer life will find us developing the discipline of prayer so that we turn to God first in our lives when joys or sorrows or anything prevails (Jas. 5:13; 1 Pet. 5:6-7).
To study an overview of 1) What, 2) Why, and 3) How to rightly divide the word. Each person may become more familiar with the Bible and how to handle it.
This sermon sets forth some optimistic resolutions each Christian should make in light of the new year. Each member should be motivated to go forward into the new year and work for God anticipating great accomplishments. I want to motivate all to be optimistic toward this new year.
First, God does not give miraculous visions today. Those miracles ended after the time of the apostles. First Corinthians 13:8-10 says, “Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect (complete) has come, then that which is in part will be done away.” Today, the complete word of God has been revealed by God (2 Timothy 3:16-17). Prophecies, tongues, knowledge, and other miracles were “in part.” The knowledge that comes through the revealed, written word of God is complete.
In this lesson we will look at whether premillennialism is true or false to get a brief overview of what this belief teaches. These doctrines are: 1) Prophecy Unfulfilled, 2) Rejection of the Messiah by the Jews, 3) Imperfection of the Church, 4) Only the saints raised in the rapture, 5) Reign of Christ for 1000 years. Each listener should be able to explain why premillennialism is false. To help all understand that premillennialism is a false doctrine that will cause someone's soul to be lost if believed due to its blasphemous doctrines regarding Christ and the church.
This lesson sets forth some lessons learned from my experience in the Mission Field. 1) The poor are always with us, 2) The less one has, the more one values what one does have, 3) A good attitude toward life and work comes from the knowledge that one is serving God. 4) Time is our most important sacrifice. Each member should reflect upon their own attitudes in comparison to those of the brethren in the Mission Field. I want to communicate the idea that it does not take a lot to do a lot.
These books never had canonical status in the Hebrew Bible. The translator of the Vulgate, Jerome (342-420 A.D.), said that they were not to be considered part of the canon of the Old Testament. He maintained that there were twenty-two books in the Old Testament canon and he listed them in a letter known today as the Prologus Galeatus. He said, “what is not found in our list must be placed amongst the Apocryphal writings,” and they “are not in the canon.”
In this lesson we will discuss the four commands in 1 Peter 2:17: Honor all men; Love the brotherhood; Fear God; Honor the king. The hearer should be able to quote and explain the verse citing a supporting scripture for each point.
The righteousness of the gospel means maintaining good relationships with 1) The Government, 2) Your Neighbor, and 3) Christ. Each person would understand what it means to maintain good relationships.
The thief on the cross was saved, but was he saved without baptism? We do not know. We cannot say that he was NEVER baptized. John baptized many. Matthew 3:5-6 says, “Then Jerusalem, all Judea, and all the region around the Jordan went out to him and were baptized by him in the Jordan, confessing their sins.” John 4:1 says, “…Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John.” How could one absolutely KNOW that the thief on the cross was not among these people? Given Matthew and John’s statements regarding the number of people who were baptized, it is more likely that he was.
In order to have self-control in our lives we must realize 1) What is out of control – our desires, 2) Who is in control – God, 3) How we have self-control – Jesus and the spirit, and 4) Why we need self-control – to fulfill God’s purposes. God wants us to practice self-control in our lives so that we will not be dominated by our own sinful desires and so that we will fulfill His great purposes for our lives.
The Fight for Life is a transcript of a sermon preached by Kevin Cauley to the New Boston Church of Christ on June 26th, 2022 the Sunday after the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to reverse Roe vs. Wade. Minor corrections have been made to clarify and improve grammar.
This lesson will look at 1 Peter 3:21 and discuss 1) Baptism as an Antitype for Salvation, 2) Baptism as Christ’s Method of Salvation, and 3) Baptism as Man’s Response for Salvation. Each person should understand that baptism saves us today. Each person who is not baptized should want to be baptized to be saved.
The song “This is My Father’s World” teaches us that 1) God is the Creator, 2) God is Glorified, and 3) God is in Control. Each person will be able to explain what the song teaches about God.
The church matters because the church is 1) God’s Plan 2) Christ’s Body, 3) Saved People. Each person should be able to explain why the church matters. This lesson teaches that the church is God’s only plan for human fellowship and unity.
We want to study that worship matters when we have the correct object, the correct attitudes, and the correct actions. Everyone should be able to explain that worship matters when we worship as God desires. To impress upon each hearer the necessity of letting God define our worship.
