Anger

Contributed by Carl Allen on May 5, 2010

Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, for man’s anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires.

Anger Matthew 5:21-26 Introduction I love baseball. But let me tell you about one particular game of baseball that I’m glad I wasn’t part of; in the spring 1894, when the Baltimore Orioles came to Boston to play a routine baseball game. But what happened that day was anything but ...read more

Envy

Contributed by Carl Allen on May 5, 2010

Lust

Laziness

Contributed by Carl Allen on May 5, 2010

The Bible warns of the deadliness of laziness. As one man put it: “the lazy brain is the devil’s workshop”. Our lazy days are Satan’s busy days. He loves a sitting target – a sitting duck. Laziness is a deadly sin.

Devoted To Destruction Series

Contributed by Carl Allen on May 5, 2010

In the life of the churches, Paul feared nothing so much as false doctrine, since it is the underlying source of ungodly behavior. His deep concern for the spiritual welfare of the Corinthians believers would be fully as concerning for the church today.

Devoted to Destruction Galatians 1:6-9 Introduction The New Testament speaks of two general categories of people whom God devoted to destruction. The first category is “anyone [who] does not love the Lord.” The second is false teachers, who in Galatians 1:8-9 Paul twice calls ...read more

Changing Our Focus Series

Contributed by Carl Greene on Feb 6, 2008

People with humility don’t deny their power; they just recognize that it passes through them, not from them.

We have begun our journey into an understanding of what it means to be disciple of Christ. We’ve talked about the issue that sometimes we tend make becoming a disciple too hard, and too often when we here the word disciple, we tend to cringe and hide.
