    The Fight Within The Wall Series

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Feb 21, 2011
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,264 views

    The greatest problem in ministry is often the fight within. Beware of the seeds of discontent, distrust and rivalry that the evil One can sow within the Body of Christ. Don't let selfishness gets the better of us.

    What we learn last week: There will be oppositions in ministry. • We cannot stop what people will say but we can choose not to allow their words or deeds to discourage us from doing what is good and right, what is the will of God. • We choose not to be distracted; we FOCUS on what God ...read more

    How many of you have ever felt hopeless about your spiritual life improving? Paul’s words in Romans 8 should provide us with some hope.

    is the fourth message in a series that will be a journey of discovery to gain a better understanding of the Holy Spirit's power, presence and role....This message looks at how we often experience discomfort with getting closer to the Holy Spirit.

    The majority of Christians are extremely curious in regard to the Holy Spirit. We have heard accounts of people supposedly getting the Spirit.

    Lessons From The Coyote

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,476 views

    At first glance the sly Coyote seems to be a genius! With every cleverly laid trap and ingenious deception the Coyote meets with failure. There is no better contemporary example of the fool described in the book of Proverbs than the cartoon Coyote.

    PROVERBS 26:1-28 (NASB) Like snow in summer and like rain in harvest, So honor is not fitting for a fool. 2 Like a sparrow in its flitting, like a swallow in its flying, So a curse without cause does not alight. 3 A whip is for the horse, a ...read more

    In our Scripture today, Jesus is confronting the world’s conventional wisdom about wealth and materialism which says, “More is better.” Jesus says that for abundant life, less is more.

    "The 5 P's of Prayer" is part of our Sermon on the Mount series and brings a better understanding of the Lord's Prayer, as we look at God's person, program, provision, pardon, and protection along with the spirit of prayer.

    Sermon on the Mount “The 5 P’s of Prayer” Matthew 6:5-15 Prayer; vibrant, fervent prayer: prayer that truly touches the heart of God and changes the world is the most difficult of all responsibilities we have as believers. What’s sad is that this is something God allows ...read more

    Each year we make resolutions to correct bad habits. One of the most fundamental characteristics of disciples of Jesus is to love one another. Resolving to love others as Jesus does makes a better me.

    The Perfect Father Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jun 19, 2017
    based on 6 ratings
     | 16,483 views

    The Lord's Prayer tells us God is our "Heavenly Father". That implies that God uses the better tendencies of earthly fathers to communicate who He is. So, what are the traits of decent Earthly fathers?

    (Explanation of opening: The traditionally memorized version of the Lord’s Prayer is found only in the KJV. Since we have ESV pew Bibles – which leave off the last verse – I felt that would create confusion as to why that verse was missing. I didn’t want to go there, so I put the KJV on screen and ...read more
