     | 5,333 views

    If grace is unconditional and unlimitd, then why be good? Why not just sin up a storm?

    This morning, we conclude our series of messages on the topic of "grace". And just to be clear what it is we’re discussing: When we refer to "grace", it doesn’t have the same meaning as when we speak of another person as being "gracious." It doesn’t signify being courteous, or having good manners. ...read more

    We are built and designed for relationship. Yet, we often struggle to know what the person we love needs or wants. Examine 4 areas that must be dealt with in order to have a healthy relationship.

    Live Until You Die, Die Until You Live

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Mar 23, 2009
    based on 15 ratings
     | 8,209 views

    We admire those who pursue life goals as long as they can; but our calling is to die to self. It will mean a change of values and of attitudes, but it will give us true life.

    I’m pretty sure that we can make a case for living until we die. It would not take a lot of effort to convince one another that we can approach life with gusto, squeezing every ounce of juice out. There’s a strong compulsion in us to extract all the value and the vitality we can get out from ...read more

    To show that unbelievers even in their birthdays, that they should be pleasing the LORD instead of themselves are clearly, pleasing, fascinating and enjoying themselves and not the LORD GOD who gave them their lives.

    I. EXORDIUM: Are you pleasing the LORD? Yes. all by faith. Hebrews 11:6 Hebrews 11:6 (Amplified Bible) But without faith it is impossible to please and be satisfactory to Him. For whoever would come near to God must [necessarily] believe that God exists and that He is the rewarder of those who ...read more

    Marriage is sacred and God-ordained. When a couple follow God’s blue-print for marriage, love and honor one another and set boundaries for the safety of their relationship, families become havens of love, support, health, peace, and abundance.

    We read in Philippians 4:8, "Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things." (ESV) The word of God ...read more
