Sermons on Attitude Or Aptitude:

When Life Isn't Fair

Contributed by Steven Chapman on Jan 24, 2007

As a Christian how should I react? What should I say? What should I do when I am treated unfairly? The greatest test of the Christian life is ones attitude when LIFE DOESN’T MAKE SENSE. For many of us life has been very smooth: health, prosperous, happy.

When Life Isn’t Fair Book of Job As most of you are aware I attempt to have my sermons lined out months in advance. This morning I have something to say that has not been on the burner for that long.

6 Elements To Warfare Prayer Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 1, 2022

Daniel prayed with resolve—he set his face. He prayed with tremendous reflection—he looked upon God. I hate to say, and so much of my prayer is casual prayer, prayer that comes with almost a take-it-or-leave-it attitude. God is calling us at this late hour to pray with serious concentration.

Sermon # 43- No Room For Self-Righteousness Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jan 21, 2025

Jonah was extremely pleased with the plant.” (GNB) As we studied the life of Jonah there are numerous lessons that we have picked up, both for our personal lives, ...read more
