    Stained-Glass Masquerade

    Contributed by Scott Johnson on May 16, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,333 views

    So often in the Church we pretend that everything is perfect, but truth is, it isn’t. The book of James offers insight into how to cure this ailment.

    Stained-Glass Masquerade (James 5:13-16) Intro: Do you ever walk in to a church service and begin to question the validity of the perfection that’s displayed? Do you ever look around at the people and ask “Is there anyone in here who fails?” or “Has anyone fallen down in their walk with God ...read more

    Gluttony

    Tonight I want to preach on Gluttony and give you a Scriptural picture of what it is and how we need to make sure it is not a part of our lives, as followers of Christ.

    Gluttony 1 Cor. 6:12-20 Introduction Many of you will have heard of the called ‘Dieting under Stress’ diet. It goes something like this: Breakfast: half a grapefruit, 1 slice dry whole wheat toast, 8 oz skim milk Lunch: 4 oz lean boiled chicken, 1 cup steamed spinach, 1 cup herbal ...read more

    Job's Friends

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Jun 29, 2009
    based on 14 ratings
     | 22,433 views

    Rather than show sensitivity to Job’s affliction, his friends critique him...and were dead wrong. Let’s be careful when we appraise people. And let’s be cordial when we disagree.

    I recall a fight I had in seminary. I was arguing with another student over some theological matter, when he got mad and slugged me. Before I knew what was happening, I left the room, but not under my own power. A student walking by saw what was going on, grabbed me, and whisked me out before ...read more

    Christian Love

    Contributed by Dwight L. Moody on Oct 26, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,453 views

    A classic sermon by D. L. Moody on the importance, power, and indispensibility of Christian love.

    It speaks in Galatians about love, the fruit of the Spirit being love, joy, peace, gentleness, long suffering, meekness and temperance. The way this writer has put it -- and I think it is very beautiful -- is that joy is love exultant, peace is love in repose, and long suffering is love enduring. ...read more

    Is it possible to spend my life in a Christian environment & not know Jesus Christ?

    2 Corinthians 13:5 Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you-- unless, of course, you fail the test? I have a rather pointed question to pose to you today. Is it possible to spend my life in a Christian environment & ...read more

    Good works are not the root of salvation, but they sure are the fruit of salvation. There are so many "Christians" in our churches who are not really saved. I would be delighted if you could rate this sermon and give brief feedback.

    Unsaved “Christians” (Preached first on 02/11/08, Sunday) Text: Luke 6:43-46 Explain the Scripture text. Illustration: The great evangelist, Billy Graham, has been quoted many times as saying that the greatest mission field in our country to today is in our local church – the people sitting ...read more

    In dealing with others is treating them the same way we would want to be treated.

    A Messiah of Fairness Text: Matt. 7:1-6 Introduction 1. Illustration: “To accept people is to be for them. It is to recognize that it is a very good thing that these people are alive, and to long for the best for them. It does not, of course mean to approve of everything they do. It means to ...read more

    Standing In The Way Of The Spiritual Progress Of Others Series

    This message looks at how we sometimes block the door for spiritual seekers and keep them from finding God.

    BIG IDEA: We can point people to God, but we can also stand in their way. - Matthew 23:13. - The idea here is blocking the door or pointing someone in the wrong direction. - This is something we should pause and consider how heartbreaking the image is: someone seeking spiritual truth, someone ...read more

    1- Life in Christ excludes hypocrisy 2- Life in Christ excludes salvation by observance of the law 3- Life in Christ includes death to self

    INTRO.- Life. What is life all about? Obviously, that depends on who you are talking to. Here are some examples.

    God Knows When You’re Done

    based on 6 ratings

    Instead of Epraim depending on God for stability He formed alliances with the people instead of him being a shepherd he became as sheep. The "cake not turned" was burnt on one side and raw on the other. A metaphor for just how mixed up their lives were.

    God Knows When You’re Done Hosea 7:8 The idea is of a “half-baked” cake. In that day, bread was often prepared as a cake that was cooked on both sides, something like a pancake. In thinking they can serve both the Lord and idols, Israel is like an unturned pancake - burned on one side, uncooked ...read more

    Even when Jesus was being arrested He revealed grace...

    Luke 22:47-53 [ESV] 47 While He was still speaking, there came a crowd, and the man called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He drew near to Jesus to kiss Him, 48 but Jesus said to him, "Judas, would you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?" 49 And when those who were around Him saw what ...read more

    Matthew 5 - Take A Bath! You Smell Like A Hypocrite! Series

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Dec 27, 2009
    based on 15 ratings
     | 7,704 views

    Take a bath! You smell like a hypocrite! Better to live like the unbeliever you are than to act like a Christian on Sundays. Because at least you won’t be deceiving yourself. Take the Purity in heart test from Matthew 5 and examine your motives!

    Matthew 5 - Take a bath! You smell like a hypocrite! I don’t know about you but I don’t like the term "pure in heart". It seems like woose talk or I think of someone with an intellectual disability or so totally naïve they don’t see bad things happening all around them. Maybe even children, up to ...read more

    In our everyday life we are confronted by people who let you know all of the things they accomplish in their life.

    Matthew 6:1-4-“Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men, to be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward from your Father in heaven. Therefore, when you do a charitable deed, do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that ...read more
