Years later he took a second trip to the Holy Land, and he looked past the commercialism to focus on the places of Bible history.

    Broken Speech Series

     | 1,244 views

    God’s interest isn’t limited to whether or not you are swearing falsely. God’s interest is in whether or not you are speaking falsely.

    I’ve been racking my brains all week to find a lead-in to this week’s commandment without referring to politics. But I keep coming back to it like a moth to a candle. At least we’re no longer right in the middle of actual accusations of perjury... but the question of truth vs. political advantage ...read more

Then he adds, “I worry about my worrying ...read more

     | 1,557 views

    Anger is dangerous is because it can hinder the fruits of the Spirit (love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control (Galatians 5:22 -23) if it is left unchecked. Paul warns us not to let the sun go down our anger in Ephesians 4:26.

    ANGER IS A THREAT TO SELF-CONTROL Text: Ephesians 4:25-5:2 “A small girl was showing a friend the bathroom scale: "I don't know what it is . . . but my mom and dad use it every day. All I know is, when you stand on it, it makes you really mad!".” (Steve May. ...read more

    The Plumb Line

    What is our standard of holiness? As individuals, do we compare ourselves with others? As a church, do we compare our ministry with the congregation down the road? These are mistaken comparisons, as Jesus is our true standard.

    Michael Green, in his book Illustrations for Biblical Preaching, shares a good lesson which I think is appropriate for beginning our message this evening. He states, All of us frequently compare ourselves favorably with someone else. We all think of someone whom we consider to be less mature, ...read more

    God Is In Control! But What About Your Part?

    Contributed by Kelvin Mckisic on Jun 25, 2023
     | 1,650 views

    God is control of all things, but you do have a part to play in it all. God wants us to submit to authorities, but are you following God's will by voting for the person who should be in office?

    God is in Control! But What About Your Part? Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring ...read more

    David speaks of God’s provision in the trying times and in the presence of those who oppose him as marks of God’s goodness as shepherd.

    INTRODUCTION • When times are going well, do we question God's love, protection, and provision? • I believe that during those times, we probably do not question it much or may not give it much thought. • David has proclaimed that the Lord is his shepherd and that, as a result, he lacks ...read more
