    Let God Be Judge Series

    Contributed by Paul Barreca on Jul 7, 2014
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,596 views

    One of the characteristics of a worldly minded Christian is a judgmental spirit. This sermon draws a distinction between speaking the truth about sin, and lifting ourselves up as the judge over other people's behavior.

    If you have ever seen a court proceeding in England, you will have noticed that British judges and lawyers still wear Victorian era wigs at certain times in the proceedings. Most important, a judge will put on a long white wig prior to announcing the verdict to a defendant. There is a reason for ...read more

    Gaius, A Man Who Helped Much

    As a church leader, your behavior often determines the growth of believers and whether or not the church has a dynamic ministry for Christ. THIS is what the letter of 3 John is all about, leadership within the church.

    As we continue our studies in the writings of the Apostle John, we begin to look into the book of 3 John. My plan is to spend just two studies in this book. It is believed that John the Apostle wrote this book or letter around 85-95 AD. It was written to a man named Gaius in order to warn ...read more

    Don’t treat sin like a weed-eater whacking away at the visible weed—go to the root of the problem. It’s a heart problem, not a behavior problem.

    INTRODUCTION In the last message I mentioned one of my favorite Presidents, Calvin Coolidge. He was known as “silent Cal,” because he was a man of few words. One day, President Coolidge was walking home from attending church and reporters gathered around him. They asked, “What ...read more

    Heart Of A Disciple

    Contributed by Tim Smith on Sep 29, 2013
     | 6,537 views

    Today, we’re going to look at the heart of a disciple maker. It’s one thing to change a person’s behavior but quite another to change their heart.

    The Heart of a Disciple Matthew 5:8 and 1 Corinthians 13:1-8, 13 “Come, follow me.” When Jesus spoke those words to the Galilean fishermen, it changed the course of their lives. They dropped their nets and left everything and everyone behind. Over the course of the next three years, ...read more

    Contrition is the entire process of fasting, prayer, confession and repentance through amending one's behavior and making right those wrongs which don't hurt others.

    “Lent is one of the oldest observations on the Christian calendar. Like all Christian holy days and holidays, it has changed over the years, but its purpose has always been the same: self-examination and penitence, demonstrated by self-denial, in preparation for Easter.

    "a Man Of Mystery" Advent Iii

     | 2,207 views

    The title “man of mystery” belongs to John the Baptist. John invited people to step into the water and be baptized then change their behavior. That is what it means to “make the crooked places straight, rough places smooth.”

    In Jesus Holy Name December 13, 2020 Redeemer Text John 1:14 “The Man of Mystery” The title “man of mystery” belongs to John the Baptist. He was an unusual prophet shrouded in mystery. A child of the desert. His face, weathered by the wind and desert ...read more

    The Unfortunate, The Hothead, And The Believer Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Dec 1, 2014
     | 4,681 views

    As representatives of our Lord and Savior, we want to reflect the ethical behavior that should characterize God’s people. Today we will look at two ethics we need to embrace.

    The Unfortunate, the Hothead, and the Believer (Proverbs 22:22-25) 1. A rabbinic story tells about a group of people traveling in a boat. One passenger takes out a drill and begins drilling a hole under his seat. The other passengers, quite understandably, complain that this action may cause the ...read more

    Why Divisions In The Church?

    Contributed by Phillip Smith on Jun 1, 2024
     | 1,136 views

    For Christians today, many practical lessons of righteous behavior are found in the teachings of the Apostle Paul. Paul opened the letter to Corinth telling them he had heard of divisions among them.

    We began studying practical teachings for everyday life for Christians taught from the Apostle Paul to Corinth. Paul opened the letter to Corinth telling them he had heard of divisions among them. A correspondence had come to him with many concerns of these divisions and other behaviors for which ...read more

    Transfer Of Grace

     | 10,185 views

    Most parents want to transfer their good character traits to their children, while not transferring vices, weaknesses, and failures to them. We need to put ourselves in a position where God’s grace is being transferred to us so we have something to give.

    Transfer of Grace Titus 2:11-14 11 For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. 12 It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, 13 while we wait for the blessed hope-- the ...read more

    Christian Character is formed through a lifelong process that begins at the new birth experience. When a person gives their life to Christ, the Holy Spirit begins a process of developing His character traits within the soul of the individual. It’s not an

    Joseph The Holy Man Series

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Dec 9, 2013
     | 5,327 views

    Not much is said about Joseph the husband of Mary in the Holy Bible. But the simplicity of his story in Matthew 1 can lead to some conclusions indicating that he was a man who loved God and had amazing character traits! PTL!!

    How do you react when something totally unexpected and earth shattering happens in your life? We can learn a lot from how Joseph responded to Mary’s unexpected pregnancy. Matthew 1:18-25 “This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married ...read more

    Publicly Speaking...

    The need to worship our multi-faceted God for His singular trait of making PUBLIC STATEMENT as to his existence, the veracity of the Bible, salvation through the Cross and the imminent Second coming of His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ.

    PUBLICLY SPEAKING…! I have said before and I never tire of reiterating it; we are essentially created to worship the Creator. When it comes to worshipping Him, more than expressing our adoration for the blessings, He showers upon us our ...read more

    Love Lifted Me Series

     | 30,330 views

    Love is an essential character trait for the believer. The Lord loved us, so we are expected to love one another. This is easy preaching, but often a difficult practice. John reveals great truth regarding the love we should possess.

    Love Lifted Me 1 John 4: 11-16 John 13:34-35 – A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. [35] By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. There can be no doubt that Jesus loved ...read more

    Caleb was not complacent, neither was he willing to compromise. One visit to the Promised Land changed Caleb forever. One of the most amazing character traits in Caleb’s life is that He never settled for less when more was on the table.

    Sermon: Don’t Settle for Less When More is Available Scripture: Joshua 15:13-19 “ The Lord commanded Joshua to assign some of Judah’s territory to Caleb son of Jephunneh. So Caleb was given the town of Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron), which had been named after Anak’s ancestor. Caleb drove out the ...read more
