Believers Church - Duluth | Church Sermons - Verse-by-Verse Bible Studies

Can you imagine what it would be like to live with the constant uncertainty of where your next meal would come from? Not knowing if you'd be arrested for your beliefs? Or unsure of whether you'd make it through the night alive? No one would deliberately choose to live under that kind of pressure, yet many do. Can you imagine what it would be like to live with the constant uncertainty of wh...

Millions of Christians from all over the world trust that Jesus died for their sins. They hold the belief that Christ's sacrifice satisfied God's wrath, cancelled their spiritual debt, and reconciled them to God once and for all. Furthermore, these Christians understand that Jesus rose again from the dead and, at present, occupies a place beside God Himself, affirming our righteousness bef...

What do you think compromises your joy more than anything? Your boss? Homework? Your bills, your spouse, or your church? Things like that are what the majority of the unbelieving world blames for their unhappiness. That might be why they constantly think they need a new job, another college major, more money, a different spouse, or a better church. The Apostle John doesn't agree with any of th...

A fresh heart, received through a successful transplant, isn't guaranteed exemption from trouble. Though it's new, that heart is still just as vulnerable to difficulty, damage, & disease as the last one was. In fact, through simple neglect, it can reduce the quality of living for the recipient to such a degree that the new life begins to feel a lot like the old one did. This is as true...

As a heart pumps blood into the furthest extremities of the body, so also is the church meant to pump the gospel into all the world. But like hearts, not all ministries function as they should. What exactly is it that enables a church to bring God's truth to the ends of the earth? Let's dissect a healthy one so we can figure it out. We are a Bible believing church, committed to helping peo...

Christian history is full of commendable people who did commendable things. Moses, for example, parted the Red Sea, Noah built the ark, and David slew the giant. But that's little in comparison to what Phoebe did. We are a Bible believing church, committed to helping people grow in their faith. We offer plenty of opportunities to get involved and verse by verse Bible studies. We meet Sundays a...

Imagine going to war without knowing whether your fellow comrades even know how to use a gun. That's what it's like when your own personal relationship with Jesus is your sole concern. If you hope to survive the fight, you'd better have a little confidence in the soldiers you're standing next to. We are a Bible believing church, committed to helping people grow in their faith. We o...

A Danish theologian once said, "Many of us pursue pleasure with such breathless haste that we hurry past it”. I wonder if he was talking about the dozens upon dozens of opportunities we have every single day, to serve other people? We are a Bible believing church, committed to helping people grow in their faith. We offer plenty of opportunities to get involved and verse by verse Bible studies...

The first man to die in human history was killed with a stone. The assassin was his older brother. Murder weapons have changed since then, but siblings are still killing each other as always. We are a Bible believing church, committed to helping people grow in their faith. We offer plenty of opportunities to get involved and verse by verse Bible studies. We meet Sundays at 10:30 a.m. & Wednesd...

The New Testament says, "God richly provides us with everything to enjoy". Things like pork chops & green beans, Halloween & Easter...tattoos, guns, and vaccinations. That doesn't mean, however, that every last Christian will actually let themselves enjoy these things. Some just aren't as strong as others. We are a Bible believing church, committed to helping people grow...

You'd have to be dreaming to think you could win a war in your sleep, yet Christian soldiers have been trying it for millennia. Dear comrade, we weren't enlisted to sleep our life away. God is telling us to wake up and get dressed...It's time to fight! We are a Bible believing church, committed to helping people grow in their faith. We offer plenty of opportunities to get involved and...

Romans 13 is like a marriage between faith & politics...only, divorce isn't optional in this one. Whether benevolent or abusive, Government & authority are here to stay. If you want God's blessing on this union, you must do your part. We are a Bible believing church, committed to helping people grow in their faith. We offer plenty of opportunities to get involved and verse by verse...

Not all believers can walk on water or raise the dead, but that's ok. God doesn't expect miracles from everyone (that would be unreasonable). The expectations He DOES have for Christians, however, aren't always being met (as reasonable as they are). When was the last time you talked to an "average" Christian? We are a Bible believing church, committed to helping people grow i...

Caterpillars have no bragging rights. Unlike their flying counterparts, they still crawl in the dirt. And until they're ready to die, life, for them, will stay the same as always. Like caterpillars, Christians were meant to become a new creature. Rising above the drudgery of our current existence, however, will require a Great Transformation. We are a Bible believing church, committed to helpi...

God's family tree has lots of branches. Some of those branches are connected to the tree, strong & vibrant. While others are lying on the ground beneath, having been cut off. In time, some of the ones that fell away will become part of the tree again. And some of the branches still attached will get pruned. That's the nature of our Family Tree. We are a Bible believing church, committe...

Have you ever flown an airplane through fog, and then smashed it into the side of a mountain? Probably not. Have you ever gone to church in a stupor? I'll bet you have. Statistically speaking, far more people will crash & burn in the church than in a plane. We are a Bible believing church, committed to helping people grow in their faith. We offer plenty of opportunities to get involved and...

Thanks to Google Timeline, you can keep track of all the places your feet have taken you recently. For most Christians it's probably back & forth between their home & their job...the bank, the store... Nowhere too dangerous or difficult (certainly not many mountains anyway). Where do your feet take you? We are a Bible believing church, committed to helping people grow in their faith. W...

Suppose you were offered a gift. A gift that was of greater value than anything you've ever owned. Would you simply take the gift, or would you try to earn it first? And what if the choice you made was the difference between life & death? Which one would you pick? We are a Bible believing church, committed to helping people grow in their faith. We offer plenty of opportunities to get invol...

As far as metals are concerned, gold has more value than bronze (though bronze is harder than gold). As far as hearts are concerned, they too differ in quality. Like metals, some are harder than others... Not everybody has a heart of gold. We are a Bible believing church, committed to helping people grow in their faith. We offer plenty of opportunities to get involved and verse by verse Bible stud...

God doesn't like it when people call themselves "little Christ's", when they live like little devils instead. Using His name in vain is 3rd on the list of things we're commanded NOT to do, yet Christians do it all the time anyway. What's next...Adultery? Theft? Murder? We are a Bible believing church, committed to helping people grow in their faith. We offer plenty of opp...

The world is full of useless information. Knowing that "some oranges are actually green", or "Edgar Allen Poe married his 13-year-old cousin" won't make a huge difference in your life. But knowing how Jesus feels about you probably will. The Bible tells you so. We are a Bible believing church, committed to helping people grow in their faith. We offer plenty of opportunities...

The first thing you ever did when you came into this world, was cry. And if you're like everyone else, you've done plenty more of it ever since. Many people suffer alone in life, but fortunately, the believer never does. When we groan over the effects of sin, we're always in good company. We are a Bible believing church, committed to helping people grow in their faith. We offer plenty...

Hypothetically speaking, if a scorpion were put in the same jar as a tarantula, who do you suppose would win? How about a great white shark in the same tank as a killer whale? Do you think a grizzly bear could kill an elephant? Or what if YOU were locked in a cage with YOURSELF and fought to the death? Who do you think would come out alive? (Hypothetically speaking) We are a Bible believing church...

What should a Christian's relationship to God's Law look like now that we're united to Christ? Are we still bound by it, or are we freed from it? Do we keep it, or deny it? Should we love it, or hate it? Welcome to real Christianity... If you weren't bi-polar before, you will be now. We are a Bible believing church, committed to helping people grow in their faith. We offer plenty o...

With nearly 2.5 million annual divorces in the U.S. alone, it's pretty obvious that lots of people want out of matrimony. But what if divorce wasn't a legal option? What if wedlock was more binding than our current culture recognizes? What if the only way to be liberated from a bad marriage was for death to part you, like the traditional vow suggests? We are a Bible believing church, commi...
