    The nine attributes of fruit of the Spirit, spelled out in Galatians 5: 22-23 are absolutely key to understanding God’s perspective of what we ought to be.

Against such things there is no law.” (Galatians 5: 22-23) We’ve been at this study of the fruit of the Spirit for eight weeks now; and we’ve got one week yet to go. Why ...read more

    Part three of living for Christ and that is being Christ like. How can we be like minded and one purpose in Christ?

    Christ-likeness Philippians 2:1-11 Some ideas of this sermon were gleaned from other SermonCentral sermons. We have been in a study of “living for Christ.” Some of the main points so far are; That as believers we are to be in Christ, connected to Christ Christ dwells within us, ...read more

     | 7,334 views

    To be a real success in life, we need to climb down the ladder of success, just as Jesus did when He humbled Himself. (this sermon uses a ladder on the stage)

    Up and Down the Ladder Philippians 2:1-11 January 20, 2013 (this sermon uses a ladder on stage. This is not an original idea, but I can't recall where I heard of this.)

    We are familiar with lists. To Do Lists, shopping lists, Santa's Naughty List. We know God has lists. The 10 Commandments, Fruit of the Spirit, Gifts of the Spirit. . . but are we familiar with God's “Blacklist”?

    The Blacklist
 Pt. 6 - Family Feuds I. Introduction
Lists are a part of life. Lists on paper. Lists on your phone. Lists are supposed to keep us ordered. Lists represent what we believe are important or at least what we don't want to forget or overlook. I think that is why this list we ...read more

    Serving as an elder/overseer/shepherd/pastor/bishop of a congregation is a noble task.

    1. Why Help the Pig? Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself.

    The Beatitudes are meant for all Christians. Jesus expects us to manifest all of them. They are not learnt traits, but the fruit brought forth by the grace of God in our lives.

    [I’ve taken most of the thoughts in this sermon from D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones’book Studies in the Sermon on the Mount.] Read the Beatitudes, and there you have a description of what every Christian is meant to be. • It is not merely the description of some exceptional Christians. • Jesus does not ...read more

    Temptation Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Apr 5, 2023
     | 2,296 views

    Jesus’ temptation and His victory over temptation are practical for us because we are so often ourselves tempted. Jesus is victorious over temptation. We have a savior who can identify with our temptations.

    You will be tempted. You can be sure of that. It is helpful for us to look at how Jesus was tempted and how Jesus responded to his temptation in the wilderness. This will help us in developing our strategy of resisting our own temptation. It doesn’t get much more practical than how to respond to ...read more
