The Power of Jesus by Faith Alone in the Church (2 of 44)
by Patrick Edwards
We continue this morning in the book of Acts looking at the foundations of the Church at Ephesus, and in this foundation we're looking to see the essential components and calling of the church itself. Simply put, as we see Paul return to Ephesus in Acts 19 and begin a ministry of over two years there, we ourselves ask, ''What is the church?'' I mean this is a question that, no doubt, many of us have asked before. It's a question that has been asked throughout the history of the church. It's a question that should be asked not just once a generation, but constantly. Moreover, though, it shouldn't just be a question that we're asking...
Faith Alone
by Stephen Whitney
Martin Luther had been a monk for five years in 1510 when he went on a pilgrimage to Rome. He left Erfurt, Germany in October along with another monk on their long walk to Rome. It was the custom of the monks when they were on a journey to walk silently, one behind the other. The night before they arrived in sight of the holy city, behind the hills that separated them from Rome, Luther's religious devotion rose to almost ecstatic heights. He believed thoroughly in the remission of sins that he should win at the holy places in the city of his faith. His mind was fastened on the great traditions of his fathers in Christian history. The next...
The Power of Faith (2 of 2)
by Randal Ross
(1) and you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins: (2) wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: (3) among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. (4) but god, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, (5) even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with christ, (by grace ye are saved;)...
"More Than Justified" and "Two Men, Different Results" (11 of 47)
by Chris Walls
Christ did not die for us because we had some kind of special love for God or because we have done something special Charles Hodge says about this verse: ''If God loved us because we loved Him, He would love us only so long as we love Him, and that condition; and then out salvation would depend on the constancy of our treacherous hearts. But as God loved us as sinners, a Christ died for us as ungodly, our salvation depends, as the Apostle argues, not on our loveliness, but on the constancy of the love of God.'' II. We are Delivered (9-10) Last week we talked about justification and we came to realize that Christ when he died on the...
Genuine Faith (9 of 10)
by Stephen Whitney
We live in a world where the real thing is counterfeited so that it looks like the real thing, but is really just a cheaper imitation. You can buy imitations of designer clothes, purses, shoes and watches which may look similar to the real thing, but they are not. Usually because they are cheaper they do not last as long. We have the expression, ''You get what you pay for.'' The same is true of people who appear to be Christians when in reality they are really not born again so their faith is an imitation. Genuine faith is demonstrated in how a person lives their life. The Thessalonians were models of authentic Christianity which was seen in their...
The Gift Of Faith
by Jimmy Evans
Introduction: The Gift of Faith is one of the most important of all of the gifts of the Spirit. It is a gift of power which enables us to realize the power of God in and through our lives. Definition: ''Gift of Faith'' - It is the God given ability to believe Him for the impossible in a particular situation. 1 Cor. 12:9 and 13:2 - UNDERSTANDING THE THREE BASIC CATEGORIES OF FAITH 1. SAVING FAITH - Jn. 1:12; Galatians 3:26; Ephesians 2:8 - In theology it is often referred to as ''prevenient grace''. - Ephesians 2:8 - ''For by grace you have been saved through faith.'' (through - ''dia'') - God saves us by grace, we receive it through faith. 2. FAITH...
The Foundation of Faith
by David Cawston
It is evident in our scripture reading today that the foundation of the Christian Life is faith. Hebrews 11:6 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. (NIV) Faith is the absolute foundation of the Christian Life! Rom 4:1-3 What then shall we say that Abraham our father has found according to the flesh? 2 For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God. 3 For what does the Scripture say? ''Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness...
Strong Faith
by Adrian Rogers
Say, whose the strongest person here today, who do you think? Would it be Phil Weatherwax, is he the strongest one? He looks strong to me. Well, you say, pastor, there's different kinds of strength. There's physical strength but that's not the only kind of strength. What about mental strength? Whose got the strongest mind? Ah, you say but wait a minute, that's not the only kind of strength. What bout moral strength? Who lives the purest life? Ah, but you say that's not the only kind of strength. What about financial strength? Whose got the most money in this place? Some of us say I know who doesn't have it. Well, let me talk to...
Biblical Faith
by Eddie Snipes
Most people have heard teaching on the biblical principles of faith in the past; however, this topic is essential for the Christian walk and should be revisited from time to time. It is good to restudy important biblical topics and approach them from a fresh perspective. There are many errors born out of a misunderstanding of true biblical faith and since faith in Christ is the foundation of the Christian life, we will attempt to grow in our understanding of faith. As a preamble to this study, I want to look at two passages that I believe lay the groundwork for faith. Romans 8:28-31 28 And we know that all things work together for good to...
Faith for the Valley
by Robert Dawson
Most of you know I love baseball, have since I was a little guy. You also know I love my Atlanta Braves. I don't get to play ball any more. I am too old and out of shape to play ball and I don't have the opportunity to watch my Braves much either but I do check the articles, scores, headlines and highlights every day. There has not been much to cheer about this year in terms of wins but there have been some bright spots and some moments to cheer. One occurred this past week. My Braves were playing their division rival the NY Mets and I pretty much root against all things NY when it comes to sports. It was the last inning. The Braves...
Economic Faith
by Christopher Harbin
Economics and prosperity are persistent themes in the Bible. They are consistent topics that come up in our own daily existence. We concern ourselves with preparing for a future and with more basic issues of survival from day to day. In the process, we worry over paying bills, purchasing at a discount, interest rates, insurance against major losses, protecting ourselves from those wanting to cheat or steal, and having enough left over to share with others. All too often, we seek God's intervention in having enough to take care of our needs, but ignore anything more God would have to say in...
A Heritage of Faith
by Richard Bradley
2 Timothy 1:3-7:3 I thank God, whom I serve with a pure conscience, as my forefathers did, as without ceasing I remember you in my prayers night and day, 4 greatly desiring to see you, being mindful of your tears, that I may be filled with joy, 5 when I call to remembrance the genuine faith that is in you, which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am persuaded is in you also. 6 Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands. 7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. Christianity is a generation to...
Faith That Works (2 of 5)
by Jeff Schreve
We're in a series on the Book of Ruth. We started it last week. We're entitling this series Beauty for Ashes. And today, we want to talk about a very important subject in the Bible. It's the subject of faith. Now the word faith - I did a little word search - the word faith in the New American Standard Bible, that word is used 250 times in the Bible and is primarily used in the New Testament. Obviously, we have other words that are synonyms of faith - belief and trust and things like that - but just the word faith is used that many times in the Bible. And we know that faith is critical, so important. That's how a person...
Faith in an Amazing God (1 of 9)
by Jim Perdue
Today, we begin a brand new series on the life of Elisha. This could be considered a sequel to the series on Elijah at the end of 2015. Of course, as many of you know, Elisha's ministry immediately followed Elijah's. I've entitled this series, A Life of Amazing Faith. And if you look at Elisha's life, you will discover it was truly amazing. You will most likely hear this word, ''amazing,'' a good bit throughout this series. As you look at the life of Elisha you will see many amazing things. Today from 2 Kings 2, we see Faith in an Amazing God. Let's be honest, ''amazing,'' can be an overused word. As a matter of fact, you may or may...
The Faith Test
by Ernest Easley
On this Sunday before Thanksgiving .. what are you most thankful for? The Apostle Paul tells us in 1 Thessalonians 5.18, ''in everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.'' And then in 1 Chronicles 16.8 we find recorded a psalm of David which says, ''Oh, give thanks to the LORD! Call upon His name; Make known His deeds among the peoples.''What deeds? Those deeds that directly impact your life! May I tell you today that the greatest deed God has ever done that directly impacted my life was done through His Son Jesus .. when He died on the cross as my substitute and as a sacrifice for...
Conquering Faith
by David Cawston
Introduction: I hear so much about people wanting to live on the edge! They are trying to experience an adrenaline rush by being extreme!

Pastor Darryn moving his family to start a church in Indianapolis! * Building a new building because there are people to reach in this region for Jesus Christ. How much...
A Faith That Will Not Be Denied
by Marvin D. Patterson
An elderly woman walked into the local country church. A friendly usher greeted her at the door and helped her up the flight of steps. ''Where would you like to sit?'' he asked. ''The front row please,'' she answered. ''You really don't want to do that,'' the usher said. ''The pastor is really boring.'' ''Do you happen to know who I am?'' asked the woman. ''No,'' said the usher. ''I'm the pastor's mother,'' she replied indignantly. ''Do you know who I am?'' the usher asked. ''No,'' she said. ''Good.'' Introduction Last week we saw that Jesus explained that it is not what goes in a man that defiles him, but it is what comes out of...
