Sermons on Carnality Minded:

Avoid Harmful Relationships.

Contributed by Shaila Touchton on Mar 10, 2024

The Bible doesn't ask us to seek out perfect people, but rather to build relationships with fellow sinners who have experienced God's transformative love. At the same time, Scripture does provide guidance on setting boundaries and being mindful of the company we keep.

2 Timothy 2:22, is a great example of this balance. It encourages us to flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, while also seeking out relationships with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart. This reminds us to prioritize relationships that promote ...read more

Lord's Prayer 10: The Need To Forgive Ourselves Series

Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Oct 23, 2024

When we pray the Lord's Prayer we ask for forgiveness for the things we have done wrong, wrong to God and wrong to our neighbour. Sometime these things play on our minds and they are difficult to forget, we get depressed. In order to forget we need to forgive ourselves.

THE NEED TO FORGIVE OURSELVES When we meet each other either in the street or in a shop we say hello yet in the middle East the greeting is far more significant: shalom. Shalom is a biblical word and although usually translated 'peace', the word also means total harmony- with God, with ...read more

Can I Get A Witness

Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Nov 12, 2024

In our text, we find an impossible situation started with a sleepless night. We have all probably had those kinds of nights. Something keeps us up, we are restless, or our minds cannot rest. Like Nebuchadnezzar, we may have a really bad dream or nightmare.

TITLE: CAN I GET A WITNESS SCRIPTURE: DANIEL 2:9-24 I love when a writer of the Bible just stops what he is writing and beings to praise God. But it is even more impressive to me when someone who is not connected to Jehovah sees the work of Jehovah and has to praise Him, even if that person ...read more

Looking To The Future

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Dec 29, 2013

What did the angels mean when they asked the disciples "Why do you stand here looking into the sky?" Were they rebuking them for wanting to see Jesus when He came back? Or was there something deeper that they (and we) need to hear?
