LET THE BIBLE SPEAK.

Reverence In The Worship Assembly NORTHEAST CHURCH OF CHRIST EC, OK.·THURSDAY, APRIL 26, 2018 Kent Bailey Hebrews 12:18-29 The reading of our text is an inspired demonstration as to the importance regarding the seriousness of approaching God. When Israel approached God at the mount to receive the Mosaic law, the presence of God caused this particular mount to burn with fire unto blackness and darkness. When the voice of God spoke, such was more powerful than the blast of a mighty trumpet. The text of Hebrews stated: “For they could not endure that which was commanded, and if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart: And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake.” As the Apostle John, by the plenary verbal inspiration of the Holy Spirit, was moved to write the book of Revelation he provided a word picture of the glory of the resurrected Christ now enthroned in Heaven.

Teaching Children to Behave in Worship. - By: Connie Adams When you take a large bag full of books, cars, dolls, stuffed animals, and cookies, you are giving out the wrong signal.

And by the way, if you could get a cookie for creating such a disturbance as to be taken out, would you not soon learn how to go about getting a cookie? I have seen children old enough to go to school sit in services with comic books, or other secular books, and I have seen some do school work w...

Is It Well With You? Ron Mosby 07/16/17 - Contentment     Paul wrote to Timothy that “godliness with contentment is great gain…If we have food and covering, with these we shall be content” – 1 Tim. 6:6, 8.  We are further exhorted in Heb. 13:5 to “keep our lives free from the love of money, and to be   with what we have.”     A perfect example of godliness with contentment is found in the account of Elisha and the woman at Shunem – 2 Kings 4:8-37.  The record says she was a prominent woman and apparently a godly woman because she recognized Elisha as a holy man of God.  She and her husband extended their hospitality to Elisha as often as he passed by and persuaded him to stop and eat bread at their house.  They further extended hospitality by making a little walled upper chamber for him with a bed, a table, a chair and a lampstand, that when he passed by he could turn in and rest....
