    Manipulation By Guilt Vs. Straightforward Requests Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Sep 26, 2016
     | 5,875 views

    Manipulation is a dishonest method to control others, get our way, or make others think an idea was theirs; it stands in contrast to making honest straightforward requests. Manipulation by guilt is perhaps the most common form of manipulation.

    Manipulation by Guilt Vs. Straightforward Requests (topical) 1. A lot of persuasion — even in church — can be based upon emotion and a lack of logic. “Pastor Smith was winding up his sermon about the dangers of alcohol and the need for temperance. He shouted, 'If I had all the ...read more

    Reach Out And Touch Someone

    Contributed by Chip Blackshear on Dec 3, 2016
     | 7,742 views

    Although He didn't need to, Jesus usually healed people by touching them. Human touch is very powerful and it can actually bring us closer to God.

    This morning I want to talk about a very “touchy” subject. No, I don’t mean politics. For the past couple of months we have been discussing off and on the five senses and how we use them to know God better and today we’ve come to the fifth and final message in this series. ...read more

    Jesus doesn't promise He'll deliver us from our stresses (Tribulation), He does, however, promise to use our suffering for good, and offers an eternal weight of glory in return for our sacrifice.

    Rewards Matter Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Apr 23, 2018
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,628 views

    The Bible is overflowing with statements that teach us we gain or lose rewards in heaven based upon how we live here on earth. But, in order to enter more deeply into this subject, we need to understand some basics.

    Rewards Matter (1st in series) (Romans 2:6) 1. We tend to think that whatever is far ahead doesn’t matter that much, and that we will get by with whatever. 2. One dad didn’t think ahead to take shampoo with him into the shower, and writes, “Today, while my eyes are closed in the shower, I ...read more

     | 6,371 views

    Some of our rewards are represented by crowns. Whether victors’ garlands or signs of authority — or both— they merit further examination.

    Rewards That Keep on Giving! (see note at bottom of page first to suggest that diadems are a sub-category of the broader word garland, which includes but is not limited to a victor's wreath but can be used of royal privilege as well). 1. “More than 40,000 people have claimed 078-05-1120 as their ...read more

    Christians must resist worldliness.

    Soon after a person becomes a Christian he discovers that being a Christian is not a bed of roses. Just because he is saved, does not mean he has left his struggles behind.
