    Manipulation By Guilt Vs. Straightforward Requests Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Sep 26, 2016
     | 5,863 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

     | 7,726 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

    Rewards Matter Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 8,607 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

     | 2,400 views

    Ruth represents one of the great redemption stories of the Bible. From cursed outsider, to redeemed. What about us? What about our line in Adam. He was cursed and banished from the garden of Eden. But God had a plan of redemption for all of us.

    My friend has written a book with this title; His story in our story for his glory. That could be the theme for the life of Ruth. Ruth is from the worst family line in the Bible. She is a Moabite cursed to the tenth generation. Ruth places her faith in the God of Israel, and she is about to ...read more

    Contend For The Faith

    Contributed by Paul Robinson on Sep 16, 2022
     | 2,922 views

    When you hear the word “contend,” what comes to mind? An ugly fight? A heated argument? These are negative connotations, but contending can also be a very good thing, and that’s exactly what we see in the book of Jude.

    According to verse 3, Jude’s purpose for writing this letter was to encourage these Christians to contend for the faith. But what does that mean? Why should we contend, is it really necessary? And how do we do that? ANALYSIS OF VERSE 3 Diligence (Gr. spoude)—to interest one’s self most earnestly ...read more

    This story relates to something that the book of James in the New Testament was talking about. James 4:1-2 points out that wars ---conflict start within the individual and have the potential to transpire into something more as it can become a war between people.
