    Disagreements are normally centered around power and control. Getting our own way with little regard to what is actually best for a majority or a right thing to do.

    The Heart of the matter James 4:1-10 For the past couple of months we have had a sort of strange schedule. We have been in and out of the book of James. While we have been moving through James it is still a topical kind of study. There is an over all flow that I call teaching on “faith that ...read more

    Euodia and Syntche will forever be remembered for not getting along in the church at Philippi. What did Paul have to say about Church members in conflict?

    “WHY CAN’T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG?” To many of us the L. A. riots of several years ago were just a news story. A score of people were killed and several thousand were injured in the ensuing fights that erupted over a racially charged situation. The African-American community in L.A. correctly ...read more

    Even though God is omnipotent, God allows Himself to be hurt. In this sermon, Jeremiah speaks of the irony of substituting the inadequate for the Omnipotent.

    Sometimes, even when a pastor is as true to God’s Word as possible and has preached a number of sermons to the text that have elucidated the Truth, God’s Holy Spirit comes back to that same pastor and causes something new to be eliminated, something passed over in previous readings and study. ...read more

    Life has stripes and blood and death. Each is a part of life. We know that but sometimes we turn the page too quickly, wanting only to think of the good things of life. In fact life would be so much easier if we could do just that. But it is in times like

    A sermon for epiphany revealing that scriptures show that Jesus is the servant king.

    Why would these characters want to search for another king, a foreign king? Another person to rule over them to push them around to tax them to harass them to want to control them use them for their own gain or force them to perform.

    Licking The Lips

    Now I believe that there are four bona-fide instances of lip-licking instances found in the Scriptures.

    LICKING THE LIPS The Bible has much to say about the lips. Proverbs 10:19 “In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise.” The more a man talks, the more mistakes he will make Wisdom is manifest in what we don’t say, rather than in what we say.. ...read more

    Based on James 3: 3-12, this message looks at the sins of loose lips and the way of dealing with them through discipline and a change of attitude.

    Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, what does the phrase “Loose Lips Sink Ships” remind you of? For some of you it may be a war-time poster. This phrase originated during World War I in England. Enemy spies frequented local pubs listening on the seamen’s conversation, until after a few pints of ...read more
