    We are stewards of what the Lord gives us. Some don't see that and feel free to keep and spend all of what they have as they see fit. Others understand stewardship, and are faithful to the Lord with what they have. There are 2 world views co existing at the same time.

    Build God's House!

    Contributed by David Mende on Jul 8, 2009
    based on 5 ratings
     | 20,650 views

    The Jews were concerned more about building their own houses rather than building God's house. Consequently, God gives this message to His prophet to rebuke His people. I would be delighted if you could rate this sermon and give brief feedback.

    Introduction (Secure Attention): Have you ever thought along these lines, “I am going to serve the Lord after I grow old.” “I want to work for God but I’m too busy.” “I want to serve God but I’m not sure whether I’ll be able to do anything at all for the Lord.” If you had any thoughts like that, ...read more

    Imagine missing Heaven because you wore the wrong clothes! Sounds absurd. But something as simple as that will damn millions, because they want to wear their own righteousness rather than that which Jesus provided. Get the festal robe today!

    Moses Exodus 2:1-10 Both secular and religious sources document the Exodus of the Hebrew people from Egypt and the man who led them through the wilderness, Moses.

    All over this great country of ours, CHURCHES have revival services each year. Many of these churches schedule them in the FALL and in the SPRING of the year.

    While it is good that churches schedule these services frequently, it is equally good that they recognize that before a church can experience a HOLY GHOST REVIVAL MEETING, they must know WHAT A REAL HOLY GHOST REVIVAL IS. A Holy Ghost Revival consist of at least three things, such as: 1. It is a ...read more
