Costly Worship

Contributed by Maurice Mccarthy on Apr 3, 2002

Worship has a walk, a book, an object, and a cost. This message centers around offering God costly worship. Often people only give to God that which costs them nothing.

Costly Worship Job 1:20,21 Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped, And said, Naked came I out of my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.

Pain Ignores The Appointment Book Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Aug 20, 2001

Many of us dislike dealing with unplanned events, but those who need us need us now. So either we paralyze or we panic, unless we learn to work together inside God’s grace and unless we discern that He is giving us time in which to grow our faith.

If you are the kind of person who can keep your sanity when there are ten unplanned things happening around you, I salute you. How do you do it? That’s not me. That’s not my skill. I like ...read more

You Did It, Good! But, Why Did You Do It?

Contributed by Bradford Robinson on Jul 22, 2003

This sermon looks at how many have selfish reasons for following Jesus. The premise is that many say that they love Jesus, when in reality they don’t love Him per say but really only for what He gives them.
