    17) Reverencing God In Prayer Series

    Contributed by Brandon Max on Jan 17, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,214 views

    In The Lord's Prayer Jesus begins in recognising: Who God Is... Where God is at... and What His name Represents. In other words He acknowledges: 1) The Person; 2) The Place; And 3) The Position of our Lord. Let us now look to His example in Prayer.

    LORD TEACH US HOW TO PRAY Part 2 - Reverence God’s Name. TEXT: Matthew 6:9-13 Ok, so last week we found ourselves here in the Gospel of Matthew, As we continued in our Scriptural search for… “…those things most surely believed among us” And in particular, our focus of late has been all about ...read more

    Addicted To The Ministry

    Contributed by Paul Robinson on Sep 15, 2022
     | 3,685 views

    We tend to think of negative things when we think of addictions, but there can also be good addictions. For example, I’m addicted to oxygen. Men, if you’re addicted to your wife, that’s a good thing. Women, it’s great to be addicted to your husband. But what about ministry?

    Did you know that a huge addiction is sweeping across our nation? People are addicted to their smart phones! They have to constantly be checking facebook, Twitter, their email, YouTube, Pinterest, or texting. Listen to these startling statistics: —The National Safety Council reports that cell ...read more

    Psalms 58 And 109 Series

    Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Mar 5, 2020
     | 5,861 views

    The outrage expressed in passages in these psalms are examples of times David seemed to be "fed up" with his enemies. He pours out his fury to God, not intending for his Father to act on the ills he calls for, but for God to see the passion poisoning his heart and send relief.

    For Sermon Central researchers: I have posted a series of 15 sermons on the Psalms. In recent personal studies I have found the psalms to be richer and more thought-provoking than I had fully appreciated. I had too often swept swiftly through psalms without slowing down to inquire as thoroughly as ...read more

    Just because you are following a well marked trail doesn’t mean that whoever made it knew where they were going. Stephen knew who to follow and why. Let’s examine this one man’s Godly example!

    Introduction While living in TN we enjoyed visiting Bays Mt. Wolves, beaver, wild life was abundant. Most of all, there were plenty of Mountain trails. One could walk for miles.

    If Abel’s sacrifice was simply offering God his best, then Jesus Christ died for nothing except as a good example. Then we must agree with the world in saying that there are many sincere ways to God. Many people are sincere, but are sincerely wrong

    Why must it be only through the Blood that we can be saved? Genesis 4:1-12 We are told today that mankind is naturally good at heart. What we need to fix is the environment; through our social policies, our education, and our laws. The Bible clearly tells us this is not the case. Mankind is ...read more

    In this example of Jesus paying the Temple tax, Jesus shows us how to deal with situations where we are conflicted and don’t know what to do. When, Morally, the answer is not one of right or wrong, but what is the right thing to do.

    INTRODUCTION In this example of Jesus paying the Temple tax, Jesus shows us how to deal with situations where we are conflicted and don’t know what to do. (Of course, Jesus had no doubt in his mind what to do yet he took this as an opportunity to teach.) When, Morally, the answer is not one of ...read more

    Can you imagine how different our marriages would be if every community, every church member, lived to bring glory to God? Men, if we set the example, I’m sure that “Desperate Housewives” would be devoted housewives!
