    You Are What You Speak

    based on 96 ratings
     | 18,056 views

    You have probably heard the expression "you are what you eat." A more precise saying is "You are what you speak." The words that come from our mouth yield much greater power than we realize.

    Avoiding Betrayal Tendencies

    Contributed by Paul Fritz on Jun 3, 2003
    based on 28 ratings
     | 3,598 views

    Just as Judas betrayed Jesus because of his love for money so many people betray the Lord today for similar greedy reasons. Judas had special abilities to keep accounts of the apostles money as demonstrated by their agreement to allow him to be in charge

    Solomon once wrote,"An unfaithful man is like a foot out of joint or a sore tooth." (Proverbs) Many people do not realize how painful it is when they are not faithful to God or to those who count on them. Actually, unfaithfulness, at its worst, is displayed in the life of Judas. Let us look at ...read more

    How did Jesus deal with "Traditon." How can we apply His teaching to our practices today?

    The Trouble with Tradition Mark 7:1–13 INTRODUCTION We obtain biblical authority from three ways: 1. Direct Command, 2. Divine Example and 3. Necessary Inference. When we come across anything for which we do not have a command, example or cannot infer proper action from clear biblical ...read more

    When Our Actions Don't Match Our Words

    The spoken word is among the most powerful means of communication. This outline lists some of the ways a person’s actions fail to match their words.

    WHEN OUR ACTIONS DON’T MATCH OUR WORDS "Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying: ’These people draw near to Me with their mouth, And honor Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me. And in vain they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’" Matthew ...read more

    French Horns Or Paper Dolls?

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jun 30, 2002
    based on 87 ratings
     | 6,989 views

    Which would you rather be - a Christian who puts on Christ’s character like a costume, or an instrument playing beautiful music in God’s hands?

    I admit it – I played with paper dolls as a young boy. I guess I got them from my sisters – we may have even played them together. But I remember thinking it was pretty cool that you could take this people, cut out different clothes and hair and stuff for them and make them into anything you wanted ...read more

    Out Of The Mouth

     | 9,542 views

    Looking at some of the things we can create with our mouths.

    Out of the mouth When is a parable not a parable? That question always comes to my mind when I read today’s passage from Matthew’s Gospel. We are told that Peter said to Jesus “Explain the parable to us”. But it does not matter how many times I read the passage, I cannot find a parable. Instead, I ...read more

    Jesus And The Canaanite Woman

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Sep 5, 2002
    based on 117 ratings
     | 31,806 views

    This sermon addresses how Jesus ministered to the Canaanite woman when others, including Jesus’ own disciples, would have just brushed her off.

    JESUS AND THE CANAANITE WOMAN Text: Matthew 15:10-28 It seems that Jesus was indifferent toward this Canaanite woman who was in need of His help. Matthew 15:24 could give one that perception on the surface: "I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel" (Matthew 15:24 RSV). ...read more

    Most folks have areas in their lives that they ignore. In this sermon, Jesus calls us to put first things first.

    WHY IS THERE AN ELEPHANT IN MY LIVING ROOM? This morning I would like to tell you a story. It begins as does many stories with a very familiar phrase. Once upon a time on a fine spring day, a young mother sat through a very boring contract negotiation, while her son sat through a boring ...read more

    Part of a three part series telling the role of the heart in conjunction with your spiritual growth.

    My focus this evening will be the Heart. It was once stated by an anonymous author that: "Thy speech betrayeth thee." Speech is the index of the soul. Utterance is the open door through which the character is known. Words are the fruit of the lips, and by their fruits we know them. Scripture: ...read more

    Concern over "trends" in ministry need not be scary to us, it’s biblical for methods to change in order to reach the lost.

    The Gripe About Methods, Chorus on Overheads By Pastor Andrew Chan, PBC, Vancouver June 2000 Singing choruses nothing new, but why is this “trend” in most churches to sing form the overhead instead of having a book, i.e. a hymnal? - Ask someone at PBC.
