    based on 844 ratings
     | 93,931 views

    This sermon is meant to help us evaluate how we worship and to warn us to avoid Satan’s influence even at church.

    Every time Jesus met someone demon-possessed He kicked the demons out! This case is unusual because of where it took place - in the very house of God! Why in the world would a man possessed by demons even be interested in going to the house of God? Why would the devil want to go to church? 1. ...read more

    We need to be sure we avoid being distracted from setting our hearts on developing a growing love relationship with God.

    In Matthew 6, Jesus emphasizes our love relationship with God. He uses the word “Father” 11 times, showing the importance of that relationship. Our relationship to the Father as His children is a most remarkable and incredible relationship. “For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,802 views

    Our relationship with God can require a strained relationship with others when we take sin seriously and need to avoid it.

    I was watching an old movie on television and I heard a line that I’d missed before. The villain of this comedy was talking on the phone and said something like: “Sure, I know what kind of low-down person would sue his own mother, but we’re not talking about me!” It caught me off-guard and I had ...read more

  • Dealing With Doctrinal Deviation

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,334 views

    God charges the church with the responsibility to avoid those who cause division and create obstacles. It is the responsibility of the entire assembly, and not that of the elders alone.

    “I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them. For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naïve.” ...read more

    The Eword scares so many Christians. I tmakes them give excuses and avoid doing what we are suposed to do.

    The “E” word I am not sure that any of you have noticed something about me. I don’t necessarily think it is weird but you might. I spend a little time each week thinking about stuff that seem like it should not matter to anyone. My thought this week; I wonder, as you are heading to church ...read more

  • The Answer To Worry

    Contributed by Rick Pendleton on Jan 28, 2013
     | 6,449 views

    The scripture says Do not worry... but that sounds easier said than done. The scripture also tells us how to avoid worry.

    The Answer to Worry Philippians 4:4-7 As we approach Christmas, it occurs to me that a message on worry, stress and anxiety might be in order. People are more susceptible to stress during this season than any other. Primarily, this is because we become so much busier this time of year. We have ...read more

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Oct 23, 2022
     | 1,897 views

    Wouldn't be nice if the choice we have to make in life where black and white, simple and clear cut ... but they aren't. In Proverbs 7, Solomon uses a 'spicy' way to discussing how Sin can be right up in our face and yet we can't see it ... until it's too late.

    Last week we looked at Proverbs 9 in which Solomon contrasts Lady Wisdom with Lady Folly. Solomon attempts to make the choice between Wisdom and Folly as clear and as obvious as possible in the hopes of helping us to make the right choice. Would that it were that simple, amen, as making such an ...read more

    To be used of God is my desire. Is that your desire today? Paul speaking to Timothy about the issue of Christians who were caught up in false teaching and Christians caught up in worldliness, instructs us as believers as to how we can be used of God.

    Usable 2 Timothy 2:19-26 Audrey Mieir wrote in her song, "To Be Used of God": "I've a yearning in my heart that cannot be denied, It's a longing that has never yet been satisfied. I want the world to know the One who loves them so. Like a flame it's burning deep inside. To be used of God, to sing, ...read more

  • Samson: Dealing With Fatal Flaws Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Jul 16, 2018
     | 10,654 views

    Samson’s feats are legendary but it’s his flaws that prove to be fatal. His two greatest weaknesses were revenge and romance. In fact, his weakness for women often led him on the road to revenge. He was extremely gifted, but certainly not godly.

    8-9-05 Samson: Dealing with Fatal Flaws Judges 13:1-16:31 Today, we’re going to focus on Samson and the fatal flaws in his character and perhaps what we learn will help us to deal with our own fatal flaws.
