    The Law Of Christ

    Contributed by Phil Smith on Feb 23, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,599 views

    Sometimes in all the Christian rhetoric, we forget the simplicity of what following Christ looks like. "Good Works" has been given a bad name because they are viewed as a contrast to faith and grace. However, once you get past the elementary teaching of

    The Law of Christ I. Introduction Lately, the ladies of our church have had a couple of opportunities to help some folks. If you are not already aware, some of our ladies are cooking meals for Peter and Theda Kempenar on a regular basis. Also, they supplied a good bunch of sandwiches for Teri ...read more

    Life, Liberty, And The Pursuit Of Holiness

    Contributed by Phil Smith on Feb 23, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,535 views

    The pursuit of happiness is a western deception that even takes Christians captive. As followers of Christ, we are in the pursuit of holiness; to glorify God by becoming what he means for us to be. Holiness is the wonderful opportunity of grace.

    Ro 8:22-23 - 22We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. 23Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. (NIV) 1. ...read more

    Successful Christian

    Contributed by Phil Smith on Feb 2, 2009
     | 4,028 views

    What does Jesus want from us anyway? Just what is a "successful Christian"? Are you one?

    Jas 1:2-4 - 2Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. 4Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. (NIV) I. Introduction My last sermon I ...read more

    Using the "Justin" story to illustrate simple Christianity. Christians forget where they came from. Evidence? I give three (there are more).

    I. Introduction Last week I read a story to you in an attempt to clearly illustrate our position before God. In the next few weeks I will continue to use that story to illustrate in more detail how our relationship with God should work. This process is important because the gospel can become ...read more

    Justin - The Gospel Series

    Contributed by Phil Smith on Jan 19, 2009
     | 3,924 views

    "Justin" is a boy from the streets who was adopted by a foreign king. Sound familiar?

    I shared a little story with the Bible Study group that I want to elaborate upon now. Justin I want to tell you about a 12 year old boy we’ll call Justin. Justin never knew anything good. His parents, if you want to call them that, were completely without qualifications to birth the boy, having ...read more

    “Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile.” - Albert Einstein God gives for the sake of giving. Giving, itself, is a virtue. It needs no other motive.

    Php 2:5-7 Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. “Only a life lived for others is a life ...read more

    It's Better To Be Good Than Fair Series

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,910 views

    We spend WAY too much energy trying to balance the books of our relationships. Jesus did not teach us to be fair, but to be good. His birth beautifully illustrates the lesson.

    Php 2:5-11 – ...Christ Jesus: ...being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to ...read more
