    Ephesians 6:13-17 If you are a Christian you also are in a battle everyday! And upon this battle depends your joy, overcoming sin, happiness in your marriage, and the well being of your children!

    Paternity Testing Series

    Contributed by Robert Higgins on Apr 15, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,664 views

    How do we know we are children of God? By the testimony of the Spirit of God. The paternity test for being a child of God is evidenced by the Spirit of God within us.

    Joke about children: You spend the first two years of your children’s life teaching them to walk and talk. Then you spend the next sixteen telling them to sit down and shut up. Grandchildren are God’s reward for not killing your own children. Mothers of teens now know why some animals eat their ...read more

    based on 18 ratings
     | 10,778 views

    Jesus expects us to be witnesses throughout the world until His return. We are not to stand around wasting time. We are to be the disciples that we were called to be.

    Introduction: Listening to our friends or relatives, at times it is hard to believe some of the stuff that they say. Some of the things that they say are so far fetched, that we say to ourselves “Where in the world did they come up this idea?,” or Who did they hear this ridiculous thing from?” ...read more

    The Poverty That Enriches

    Contributed by Kenneth Trent on May 21, 2005
    based on 17 ratings
     | 3,051 views

    No sensible person enjoys being poor. None of us would strive for actual “poverty status” in life. Jesus is referring to another kind of "poverty", one that enriches.

    THE POVERTY THAT ENRICHES “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 5:3. No sensible person enjoys being poor. None of us would strive for actual “poverty status” in life. In our text, our Lord is not extolling the benefits of being economically poor. He ...read more

    John 3:16 is so simple and easily understood that sometimes we fail to understand how majestic and powerful it’s underlying message can be.

    OPEN: I once read the story of a man had been driving on an out-of-the-way 2 lane highway running thru the rural countryside. He noticed an old tumbledown shack standing in the middle of an open field. He had to smile to himself as he read the crudely printed message on one whole side of the ...read more

    The truth of the day is that Ezekiel’s bones will live and the rocks will sing because there is nothing at all anyone can do to prevent the Word of God from being spoken.

    Dry Bones and Singing Stones Ezekiel 37:1-14 Luke 19:29-40 Palm Sunday March 20, 2005 Jeb was one of the leading citizens of Ottumwa, Iowa.

    based on 11 ratings
     | 6,371 views

    There is a big difference between taking a Sabbath and being lazy. Lazyness separates us from our own potential, from the love of others, and from the grace of God.

    Are You a Lazybones? Proverbs 6:6-11 February 20, 2005 Twenty three years ago, I was one of seventeen men and women who stood before the Annual Conference and was ordained into the United Methodist ministry.

    Portrait Of A Seasoned Mother

     | 6,234 views

    We honor mothers for being their best based on their family context. The criterion is how they respond to the challenges surrounding them – the attitude and character they demonstrate in specific family context.

    Hannah: A Portrait of a Seasoned Mother 1 Samuel 1:1-28 ILLUSTRATION Based on the study made by Salary.com, if the typical stay-at-home mother in the U.S. were paid for her work as housekeeper, cook, daycare center teacher, laundry machine operator, van driver, facilities manager, ...read more

     | 3,211 views

    Because of the intense love that God has for us, I am assured that of all His attributes, the one nearest His heart is being "Father" to His children.

    WHEN I STOP AND THINK ABOUT IT, I HAVE TO ADMIT THAT THERE ARE MANY REASONS GOD CHOOSES TO SAVES ALL OF US: TO BRING GLORY TO HIMSELF, TO APPEASE HIS JUSTICE, AND TO DEMONSTRATE HIS SOVEREIGNTY. BUT ONE OF THE SWEETEST AND MOST POWERFUL REASONS THAT GOD WORKS TO SAVE US IS SIMPLY BECAUSE HE IS SO ...read more

    This sermon was prepared for Christ the King Sunday, the last Sunday in November of 2007. The thesis is that as disciples of Jesus Christ we are to follow in His steps in being servant leaders.

    The Servant-King --Jeremiah 23:1-6 Kings, Queens, Presidents, Governors, priests, and pastors are called to be good role models before their people. Unfortunately that was never the case with any of the kings of the Northern Kingdom of Israel and with many of the kings of Judah as well. Our ...read more

    Sin: Keeping Up Appearances

     | 2,455 views

    Are we more concerned about appearing Christian than we are with being a Christian. How far will we go to keep a Christian reputation and hide our sin?

    A rather pompous deacon was endeavoring to impress upon a class of boys the importance of living the Christian life. "Why do people call me a Christian?" the man asked. After a moment’s pause, one youngster said, "Maybe it’s because they don’t know you." I wonder…..could that be said of us? ...read more
