    A Perfect Christian Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jun 15, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,720 views

    Many Christians that are thought to be mature demonstrate immaturity through their speech. James confronts Christians, demanding that they look at what is said and how they say it.

    JAMES 3:2-5a A PERFECT CHRISTIAN “We all stumble in many ways. And if anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle his whole body. If we put bits into the mouths of horses so that they obey us, we guide their whole bodies as well. Look at the ships also: ...read more

    1 CORINTHIANS 10:16, 17 A CONFESSION OF PARTICIPATION “The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ? Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of ...read more

     | 3,842 views

    The disastrous reign of our own desires threatens the health of Christ’s people. James confronts us with the need to address this dreadful malady that contaminates the work of God.

    JAMES 4:1-3 YOUR INTERNAL CONFLICT JUST SPILLED OVER INTO THE CHURCH “What causes quarrels and what causes fights among you? Is it not this, that your passions are at war within you? You desire and do not have, so you murder. You covet and cannot obtain, so you fight and quarrel. You do not ...read more

    Through God’s message of Ephesians 4:13-15, the people of God can have "Hope that Stands in the Storm" though a: 1) Unity of the Faith (Ephesians 4:13a), 2) Knowledge of Christ (Ephesians 4:13b), 3) Spiritual Maturity (Ephesians 4:13c) and 5) Authentic Lo

    When Nations Are Shaken

    When threatened by hostile states, how shall a nation respond? And who shall lead the nation to deliverance?

    “The LORD brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; he frustrates the plans of the peoples. The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the plans of his heart to all generations. Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD, the people whom he has chosen as his heritage! The LORD looks ...read more

    The Temptation To Be Perfect Series

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Oct 18, 2000
     | 4,882 views

    To be perfect as God is perfect, paradoxically, requires us to understand our own weaknesses and failures the way God does, and to love ourselves, despite those weaknesses and failures, the way God does.

    It may sound like a contradiction in terms to have a sermon on the temptation to be perfect. After all aren’t temptations about being imperfect. Doesn’t God want us to be perfect just as he’s perfect? But you know, there is such a thing as the temptation to be perfect. All of us are subject to it ...read more

    Walking In The Light Series

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 18, 2026
     | 39 views

    Walking in the light means remaining oriented toward Christ, trusting references, abiding near Him when clarity fades and darkness surrounds.

    Night flying has its own unique challenges. During the day, a pilot has constant reference points — the horizon, the ground, landmarks that quietly tell you where you are in relation to everything else. At night, many of those references disappear. You can still fly. The aircraft still responds. ...read more

    David provides us 5 critical steps in building a foundation to honor rather than dishonor God the Father in our worship.

    How do you Honor the Father in Worship? One little boy's definition of Father's Day went like this, "Well, it's just like Mother's Day only you don't spend so much." Well we fathers can concede that. Someone said, "A father is someone who carries pictures where his money used to be." And the ...read more
