     | 1,150 views

    How does a church consisting of people who have been freed in Christ deal with slavery?

    Christianity and Slavery 1 Peter 2:18-20 Introduction In the last study, we discussed the obligation to submit to lawful secular authority at all levels from the king on down.

    One of the hardest things to do as a committed follower of Jesus is to live in this world and not living like the world. Depending on the age in which you became a Christian a large part of our lives was living and doing what the world had to offer.

    Heaven Help My Home!

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Nov 29, 2021
     | 2,215 views

    The word “honor” means to esteem your parents or to value them. The Bible calls on you to respect them. You don’t have to think your parents are marvelous. You don’t have to do everything they say once you are an adult. But you must honor them.

    If your home is anything like mine, see if this sounds familiar. You have more expenses than money. Your house isn’t anywhere near as clean as you would like it. You’re embarrassed by the messiness of your garage. You have not won “yard of the month” in a long, long time. There is more arguing than ...read more

    The priesthood of the believer. We all have positions of priests. We all have direct access to God. And it goes on. Christians are God’s own people. You are a special possession of God.

    Do you remember the television show called Fantasy Island? For a fee of ten thousand dollars they would arrange a weekend of your fantasy to come true. That sounds pretty good. But God can do better than that. He will give you beyond what you ask or think. Not for a weekend but for a life and even ...read more

    Endurance Under Stress Series

     | 2,183 views

    Does coming to Christ mean the end of suffering? Sorry, no it does not. To this, suffering, you were called. Christ suffered and left an example of suffering. We have great verses in 21-25 about what Christ’s death on the cross means. Christ suffered for you.

    It was one of those dramatic stories. The town ruffian named Big Joe became a Christian. After all the noses he had broken, black eyes he had given the meanest toughest man in town accepts Christ and becomes a changed man. Now instead of a violent temper he endured patiently, even under stress. ...read more

    This sermon brings this sermon series to an end. Since it should be our goal to make our lives all about God, then we should do our best to protect God's good name by our life of integrity and character. We are God's ambassadors and let's be the best ambassadors we can be.

    A. Today’s sermon brings to a conclusion our sermon series “It’s All About God – Living A God-Centered Life.” 1. It has been a real joy and a real blessing for me to develop this sermon series using Max Lucado’s book “It’s Not About You” as a resource. 2. We have spent three months of Sundays ...read more

     | 2,634 views

    Have you been mistreated in any way in the last few weeks? I want to help us focus on the bad deals we have received and see how we can turn those into times we can praise God.

    1. I wonder if you have been treated unfairly in any way this week. a. To a child, did your parents blame you for something your brother or sister did? b. At school, did your teacher get you for something the fellow behind you did? And you tried to explain and made matters worse. c. I am talking ...read more

    If you want to overcome your fear of introducing people to Jesus, KNOW that you are part of God’s holy temple and God’s special people, designed to be a living display of His greatness. Then BE the witness God has called you to be.

    The abbot of a monastery called a novice into his office and instructed him to give the homily at the next morning's chapel. The novice was struck with fear. The next morning, chapel came. He stood in the pulpit. The brothers were there. His hands were trembling. His knees were knocking. His ...read more

    Blameless Living Series

     | 3,663 views

    Peter called his readers to fortify their testimonies with two crucial aspects of righteous living: 1) a personal, godly discipline that is inward and private 1 Peter 2 :11), and a 2) personal, godly deportment that is outward and public 1 Peter 2 :12).

    1 Peter 2:11-12 [11] Beloved, I urge you as sojourners and exiles to abstain from the passions of the flesh, which wage war against your soul. [12] Keep your conduct among the Gentiles honorable, so that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the ...read more

    Submit to all human authority, because of Christ, because of your critics, and because you are free!

    At the spring 2000 opening of the Florida Senate, Donald L. Roberts, president and CEO of Goodwill Industries, offered a prayer. I think you’ll appreciate the candor of it. In part, this is what he prayed: Holy and Eternal God, it must be great to be God, to get what you want—when you want it—how ...read more

    Submit even to a ruthless and unjust boss and so experience grace and fulfill your calling.

    After a year’s worth of good, hard work, some employers like to provide a year-end bonus for their employees.

     | 2,595 views

    There is only one throne in a person's heart; it either belongs to you or to the Lord God Almighty. Jesus won't share it with you and you cannot expect Him to do so. There is only one remedy, to kill "the god of Me" and enthrone the True and Living God there!

    Killing "The god of Me” Please stand with me as we go over our current memory Scripture: Matthew 5:6-8 “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful, for they shall be shown mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall ...read more
