     | 17,672 views

    Praying With Jesus: Overcoming Temptation Series

    Contributed by Vic Folkert on Apr 15, 2019
     | 4,601 views

    As we pray, we recognize sources of temptation: the world, the flesh, and the devil. We commit ourselves to overcoming with God's help: Know what is right, tell the truth, build a life too good to lose, and play to win.

    PRAYING LIKE JESUS: OVERCOMING TEMPTATION—Matthew 6:9-13, 1 Corinthians 10:12-14 Have you ever said something like this? “I don’t know how it happened. I got sucked in, and I couldn’t seem to avoid it.” “Why did I say that? It was stupid and wrong—and I didn’t really mean to.” “I want that so bad! ...read more

    This series looks at some of the things that Christianity teaches that many Christians are not in agreement with.

    Today is Part 2 of What’s Wrong With Christianity. As I said in Part 1, these messages are not asking what’s wrong with Christianity. Instead, they are describing what’s wrong with Christianity from the viewpoint of the Body of Christ. I’m going to repeat something that I said in the first ...read more

    Think before you speak

    One of the greatest lies of humanity is that words don’t hurt, as kids we were told that when someone would say something hurtful to us we should respond that sticks and stones will break my bones but words will never hurt me.

    we all have plans for life and a sense of direction lain out in our minds. Sometimes life laughs. We suffer loss.

    This time has disrupted most –if not all – of our plans. The seniors had plans of finishing their senior year and graduating with celebrations, now what? Many had plans of getting married with parties and celebrations, now what? Many had plans of having jobs, income, and insurance, but now what? ...read more

    Joel promises restoration through his Son and the sending of his Spirit. God promises to renew people who repent and turn to him.
