    Thanksgiving Turns Us Inside Out Series

    Contributed by Robert Higgins on Apr 17, 2008
     | 2,687 views

    When our mind is set up on the things of the Spirit, we will be “outward focused.” When our mind is set upon the things of the flesh, we re “inward focused.” Thanksgiving directs our attention toward God.

    1. Review of Inside Out a. We are selfish, self-centered and self-absorbed. b. We turn to meeting our own needs and our own wants all too easily. c. God doesn’t want us to be that way. i. How do I know that? Because that is what is at the core of what we call sin – self. ii. If you think about this ...read more

    On Guard!

    based on 24 ratings
     | 7,515 views

    A message to encourage the saints to guard their hearts...especially taking great care to watch their communication, attention, and behavior. These things, if left unchecked, can lead to drifting from the Lord.

    Stand & Read - Proverbs 4:20-27 ?My son, give attention to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. [21] Do not let them depart from your sight; keep them in the midst of your heart. [22] For they are life to those who find them, and health to all their whole body. [23] Watch over your heart ...read more

    based on 20 ratings
     | 3,000 views

    The Bible is a book of blessings but I want to tell you, you have missed some of the Bible if you have never paid attention to the warnings that are pasted on many of the pages.

    The end time great white throne. Revelation 20:11-15 10/16/05 It has been sometime since I have flown but I remember the flight attendant giving some instructions before takeoff. She or he would tell the importance of keeping seat belts buckled while taking off and landing. He or she would tell ...read more

    Table Crumbs, And More

     | 3,369 views

    This sermon has a strong focus on "little-c catholic Christians," focusing their attention on the words of a Canaanitish woman which found their way into Western Christianity’s eucharistic liturgy.

    Second Sunday in Lent Matthew 15:21-28 If one were to pick episodes out of the Gospels in order to introduce Jesus to someone who does not know him, I’ll bet that the gospel lesson appointed for today is exactly the one they would never pick. There is, of course, much in the Bible that would ...read more

     | 20,126 views

    The prayer of Antioch got God’s attention in a big way, but we’re not told what they prayed. What can this unique prayer teach us?

    OPEN: A 5-yr-old said grace at family dinner one night. "Dear God, thank you for these pancakes." When he finished his prayer, his parents looked curiously at him and asked him why he thanked God for pancakes when they were having chicken. He smiled and said, "I thought I’d see if He was ...read more

    Are You Willing To Shout

    based on 70 ratings
     | 15,697 views

    This sermon involves Bartimaeus’ willingness to shout out because of a need in his life. We must be willing to shout or cry out to the Lord as well to get Jesus’ attention.

    Are We Willing To Shout? NLF 7/29/2001 Joshua 6:8-20 Luke 17:11-19 Text Luke 18:35-43 Shouting is a natural thing we do to either get someone’s attention or to express our approval and excitement. We shout when we want somebody to take action, such as when they need to make a change. ...read more

    There is so much confusion in religion today that some people just don't know where to turn. Are the majority of these groups paying close attention to the doctrine or teaching of Christ?

    "Blind Guides Of The Blind" "And after He called the multitude to Him, He said to them, "Hear, and understand. "Not what enters into the mouth defiles the man, but what proceeds out of the mouth, this defiles the man." Then the disciples came and said to Him, "Do You know that ...read more

    Grace

    Contributed by Lou Nicholes on May 25, 2005
    based on 6 ratings
     | 8,875 views

    In the previous chapter Paul’s focus of attention has been on earthly, physical experiences in the gospel. In order to avoid exalting himself he describes these experiences in the third person.

    THOUGHTS ABOUT THE PASSAGE: To seek to earn, merit, or purchase salvation is to insult the Giver. Imagine yourself invited to a banquet in the White House by the president of the United States. You are seated at a table that is filled with the choist foods. Every effort is made to give you a most ...read more

    Man Is Basically Good Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jan 18, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,122 views

    Thought that might get your attention. The debate about the goodness of man rages, as does the arguments for the existence of God. Paul takes on both in this very hard hitting section.

    How can you know you are dying unless someone tells you ‘you have a terminal disease’? How do you know you need to be set free unless someone tells you ‘you are a captive’? How can you tell something is wrong unless someone tells you what is right? That’s the essence of the rest of Romans 1. Before ...read more

    In the conclusion of his letter Jude calls attention to the life of the beloved, the called, the saved, and the sanctified with this phrase… “But ye, beloved…” He goes on to give the beloved 5 directives.

    Intro: Jude spends the majority (about 70%) of his short letter warning his readers of false teachers, and identifying for his readers these false teachers. In v. 3 Jude calls on believers to “earnestly contend for the faith.” Here in the conclusion of his letter Jude calls attention to the life of ...read more

    While there are many decisions that occupy our mind, many of these are decisions with temporary results. There are other decisions that are too often given lesser attention that have permanent, eternal results.

    Those who play chess know that decisions made early in the game may very well have an irreversible effect on the outcome of the game. Decisions have lasting results. Too often those who make a decision to sample some drugs at the urging of another over time become addicted to drugs. Decisions have ...read more

    In His last message to the masses Jesus gave us some things to pay attention too. This message was used as a New Year’s Message on the last day of 2006.

    Take Heed A New Years Message Luke 21:34-36 Introduction These are some of the last words that Jesus would speak to the masses. After this most of His words were spoken to the directly to the disciples. (Mostly recorded in John 13-16) The context is about his ...read more
