    All Christians should understand that Real Life Christianity does not always have “happy endings”, but it is still a lifestyle worth living.

    INTRO: Enjoyed watching “The Polar Express” DVD last December. Our kids are at the age where there is bit of doubt about the reality of Santa Claus.

    based on 19 ratings
     | 5,565 views

    Pastor are not perfect, yet they are often expected to walk a thin line between love and conviction, heart and mind, between right and wrong. This places pastor firmly between the title of today’s message. Pastoring is then either a plight or a passion.

Many times pastors walk into or are called to situations, which are delicate and or sensitive in nature. Often, pastor are misconstrued, misquoted, and roasted. ...read more

     | 7,478 views

    A tough task for tender warriors, faithful stewards of the church must be adept at proclaiming, protecting and punishing. Humble heros all!

    Does anyone here remember being in elementary school when the teacher would leave the room? First grade comes to mind for me with our teacher, Miss. Sibley. For some reason, Miss. Sibley often left the class room, but before she would walk out she always gave us a clear warning about behavior and ...read more

    Is the "spiritually superior" attitude that the Corinthians had similar to the attitude found in the American church today?

    The Corinthians’ Situation: 1. The Problem: They were living proudly in their spiritual superiority. - vv. 8-13. - Paul points out their pride in their superiority and their position, all of it (from their perspective) a sign of the hand of God.

     | 12,948 views

    Some groups put The Pastor on a pedestal as God’s annointed, a spiritual super-star to be admired and honored. In our passage today Paul sarcastically shreds this un-Christlike view of leadership.

    Spiritual Leadership 1 Corinthians 4 Most American Christians are soft. Our crosses are pretty jewelry, not instruments of brutal death. They warmly decorate our houses rather than warning of suffering. Particularly in the suburban Bible Belt, our versions of Christianity depict sanitized pictures ...read more

    Why are not moving in the power and love of the disciples from the Bible?

    “My dog ate my homework.” “There was a wreck on the bridge that held me up.” “I didn’t see the stop sign.” “Maybe it’s not God’s will.” “His ways are not our ways.” It seems we all have heard a million excuses, and we have all used thousands ourselves.

    Lesson 8: Watch Out For Pride Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Nov 1, 2010
     | 3,585 views

    Pride is a sneaky thing. It's the default program for humans and is at the root of the problem in Corinth, and often at the root of our problems as Christians.

    The American Heritage Dictionary defines sarcasm as: "A form of irony in which apparent praise conceals another, scornful meaning." An example might be to someone who is always late and you say to them: "Oh my, you're right on time!" Now if I told you that the Bible has several excellent examples ...read more
