    based on 78 ratings
     | 10,550 views

    Strife is a "work of the flesh" that must be avoided by Christians. This is a Biblical study on how to overcome this fault and ways to assist others with this problem.

    GALATIANS 5:19-20 "Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these: Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, STRIFE,...

    Looks at how Jesus was faithful to His mission and how we are to do the same.

    Let me pose a hypothetical situation to you this morning: Let’s say I was to make an offer to you. I would offer to give you two free plane tickets to anywhere in the world. Would you take it? Well, there’s one catch – what if I didn’t tell you where you were going before you got on the plane? ...read more

    Faith On Autopilot – Going Through The Motions Without Heart Series

    Contributed by Dr. John D. Wentworth on Sep 27, 2025
     | 295 views

    There’s comfort in routine. Singing the same hymns, praying the same prayers, sitting in the same pew each Sunday—it all feels safe. But these familiar patterns can lull us into a dangerous place: performing religion instead of pursuing Jesus.

    Title: Faith on Autopilot – Going Through the Motions Without Heart Text: Matt. 15:8-9 ‘This people honors me with their lips but their heart is far from me; 9 in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’ “When routine replaces relationship” Introduction: “When faith ...read more

    Cutting Corners With Untempered Mortar

    Contributed by Bob Phillips on May 29, 2014
    based on 1 rating
     | 11,079 views

    Many are leaving out critical directions given in the Bible, and cutting corners as they say to avoid following the instructions given by God.

    Jesus gave the directions we must follow, but few want to follow his directions to the letter. In out text passage he said if we hear him and follow the instructions given by his word we are wise builders and our (Spiritual) House will withstand the storms of this life. Today, many Christians are ...read more

     | 641 views

    As Christians, we are called to use our money wisely, avoid debt, be content with what we have, and be generous to others.

    Here's the thing, money isn't bad. It's like a hammer, it's just a tool. We earn it, save it, give it, and yeah, we spend it. But we gotta be careful not to blow it all on stuff we don't need. You know how our culture is always telling us to buy the latest iPhone or the coolest sneakers? Well, as ...read more

     | 13,136 views

    If we want to see the same power – signs, wonders, healings and miracles – as the church in the book of Acts, then we must have the same priority of prayer as they did.

    SUPERNATURAL BREAKTHROUGH #1: REDIGGING THE WELLS OF PRAYER OPENING TEXT: “And Isaac dug again the wells of water which they had dug in the days of Abraham his father, for the Philistines had stopped them up after the death of Abraham.

     | 3,586 views

    It was the power of Paul’s testimony that demonstrated grace in his life. He was transformed by God. That’s same power can do the same for us.

    Transformation and Grace Galatians 1:10-24 (NIV) 10 Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ. 11 I want you to know, brothers, that the gospel I preached is not something that man ...read more

    A look at the calling God places on each of us as well as some of the excuses we use to try to avoid that calling.

    GOD ONLY CALLS PREACHERS, RIGHT? We all have a calling from God. - Jeremiah 1:5. - NT references to call/jobs: Matthew 21:28; Mark 13:34; 1 Corinthians 15:58; 1 Corinthians 16:15-16; Philippians 4:3. - Does God call only preachers? - There can be a call for someone to be a preacher, but a ...read more

    This message from a series that looks at God's desire for us to live life in a way that avoids being overloaded and overextended.

    Living life, parenting, retirement and ministry can all become burdensome. These burdens can often be almost more than we can bear.

    This message is from a series that looks at God's desire for us to live life in a way that avoids being overloaded and overextended.

    If overloading ourselves has the ability to cause emotional, relational and spiritual dysfunction, why do we continually do it? The number one reason is that we do not see this as a problem. We simply assume that this is the way that life is and there is nothing that we can do about it. The second ...read more
