    Last in a five part series from 1 Timothy. This message focuses on how to be content.

    This morning we’re going to wrap up our study of 1 Timothy. For the last 5 weeks we’ve seen how God intends for us to grow together in his family – the church. We’ve seen that in order to grow together as a family we need to have: • Sound doctrine that is based on the word of God • Men and women ...read more

    Being Content As A Status Quo Christian Series

    Contributed by Guy Glass on Aug 5, 2005
    based on 7 ratings
     | 5,511 views

    This message, though, not part of the mini-series on marriage builds from a principle revealed in that series - "We do not know what God is going to do". Hence, we need to look at where we are as an opportunity, not a stepping stone

    Being Content as a Status Quo Christian 1 Corinthians 7:17-24 1 Corinthians 7:16-24 (NIV) 1Co 16 How do you know, wife, whether you will save your husband? Or, how do you know, husband, whether you will save your wife? 17 Nevertheless, each one should retain the place in life that the Lord ...read more

    The Good Old Days? Oh Please!

    Contributed by Pat Cook on Aug 12, 2005
    based on 27 ratings
     | 12,380 views

    Slightly sarcastic view of "the good old days". Like the scripture, this reminds people to live in the present, and not long for so-called better days of the past.

    Ecclesiastes 7:10 – The Good Old Days? Oh Please! Tonight, instead of looking at a major topic in Ecclesiastes, I am going to look at one verse. It’s a verse that speaks to all of us, no matter how old we are. 7:10. This verse is funny because it so much speaks to who we are, and what we ...read more

    A message to the church to say like Paul, please bear with me in my folly.

    Bear With Me, Please By Pastor Jim May 1) Three pastors got together for coffee one day and found all their churches had bat-infestation problems. "I got so mad," said one, "I took a shotgun and fired at them. It made holes in the ceiling, but did nothing to the bats." "I tried trapping them ...read more

    Complaining

    Contributed by Lou Nicholes on Nov 10, 2004
    based on 9 ratings
     | 6,847 views

    More than once, Israel in her pride tempted God in the wilderness and He had to punish them (Deut. 6:16). But like a stubborn child, the Jews didn’t seem to learn their lesson. Instead of pleasing the Lord who had done so much for them, they provoked Him

    THOUGHTS ABOUT THE PASSAGE: The Jews had a long record of complaining against the Lord and their leaders. Their murmuring began on the night of the Exodus when they were sure Pharaoh’s Army was going to kill them (Ex. 14:10-14). As Israel entered the wilderness of Shur, they complained because ...read more

     | 9,912 views

    Will we ever discover true contentment? we can if we replace an attitude of coveting to an attitude of contentment. Main ideas for this message came from James MacDonald’s Book, Lord Change my Attitude.

    Introduction: 3 men were walking on a beach one afternoon when they came across an old lamp. The first man picked it up and began to rub it and out popped a genie.

    Suffering is never easy, but understanding what God is up to helps us cooperate with Him in the process of using our pain for good results.

    One of the biggest speed bumps to understanding God can be our encounters with pain and suffering. The hurts we experience may stem from abandonment or abuse, sorrow and loss, fears and failures, setbacks and confrontations, chronic illness and pain - the list is long. We all hurt for a variety ...read more
