    So often we say thank you as a cliché that has no value or sincerity to it at all.

    Using Freedoms Wisely

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Jun 30, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,877 views

    The Galatian church either tried to add to their freedom in Christ or abused their freedom in hurting others. Today we need to learn to serve others in love, walk in the Spirit, and stay in sync with the Spirit.

    Using Freedoms Wisely Galatians 5:1, 13-25 Freedom is a wonderful thing. This coming Thursday we’ll celebrate the freedoms we enjoy as Americans, to live in the home of the free, the land of the brave. Yet, with freedom comes responsibility. You don’t have the freedom to go up and punch somebody ...read more

    This discourse was originally delivered as a Thanksgiving Eve message. The reader is challenged to recognize that discontent is a sin, if for no other reason than because it is contrary to the thanksgiving that is due the Lord.

    (If you have found this sermon helpful, we invite you to visit us at www.HeritageRestorationProject.org or www.ChristianWisdom.info) This evening, we have gathered together to give thanks to God. Tomorrow we will share Thanksgiving Day with loved ones. This should be a truly glorious and happy time ...read more

    Persistent Prayer

     | 12,851 views

    Jesus teaches us to pray always, never give up, and keep the faith until he returns. This kind of prayer keeps the line open with God throughout the day.

    Luke 18:1-8 Persistent Prayer George Mueller prayed for a man for 63 years to come to Christ, and finally the man did so. When Mueller died, he had documented 50,000 answers to prayer! 5,000 of those were answered on the day he prayed for them, which means that about 90% of the time he had to ...read more

     | 12,981 views

    Thanksgiving is the holiday dedicated to giving thanks. But if your life isn't going very well you might think there isn't anything to be thankful for. Let's see if we can gain some perspective on why we should be thankful; not just at Thanksgiving time, but all the time.

    BE THANKFUL Colossians 3:15-17 Thanksgiving is the holiday dedicated to giving thanks for things. Interestingly, the words thank and think have the same root, reminding us that thanksgiving comes from thinking about our blessings. But you may not be feeling very thankful lately. You might think ...read more
