Our heritage as Christians is much deeper than history would have you to believe. As the people of God we have been through many trials. Revelation pointed to trials that ended just a few short years ago in 1793! Since that time we have moved into the era of the final church...Laodicea...the lukewarm church.
We MUST rise above the lukewarmness in the world around and live for God as HE has called us to do!
Diligence is a quality that we are all called to have in our lives! We are to keep God's precepts diligently, keep our heart diligently, diligently seek God in faith, be diligent to be found without spot and blameless, and we are to diligently add to our faith, virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, godliness, brotherly kindness, and charity. As you can see, diligence is a vital part of our lives! God will not accept slothful Christians!
A Diligent Christian
Thursday Night's sermon dealt with the issue of diligence. Diligence is something urgently needed in the Church today. With it, we can grow as Peter told us to. Without it, we will at most be lukewarm and rejected by God. May you be encouraged as you listen about diligence.
Cutting in the Wrong Forest
This is the Wednesday night sermon from the Oak Grove Meeting in 2009. The theme of the entire meeting is "One With God". Jesus prayed for us to be one with God, one with Him, and one with each other. This particular sermon investigates the concept of standing behind a banner that differentiates us from denominations rather than standing behind the banner of Christ! This follows the "Disconnected Doctrine" so you may want to watch that one first.
Remember that we can do nothing without His authority, but we shouldn't shy away from doing what is in His authority out of fear of looking like a denomination!

Disconnected Doctrine
This is the Tuesday night sermon from Oak Grove's 2009 Gospel Meeting. I hope to post the rest sometime, but this one is recorded in a different way that made it easier to post as a video.
The point of this sermon is for us to consider our ways when it comes to doctrine and the application of that doctrine. It covers topics such as communion, worship, love, and marriage. It's a smorgasbord of topics, but makes a serious point about what we do with doctrine.
