    Sermon - God’s Instructions For Purposeful Living

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Mar 11, 2025
     | 266 views

    Some people live on purpose and some just respond to what the world delivers. A “life of purpose” is not something you do or something you have automatically, it is choices that each of us make. Living a life of purpose guides all our choices and shapes the direction of our life.

    Sermon – God’s Instructions for Purposeful Living Scripture - Psalms 1:1-6 AMP, “Blessed [fortunate, prosperous, and favored by God] is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked [following their advice and example], Nor stand in the path of sinners, Nor sit [down to rest] in the seat ...read more

    "Sifting, Taking Out The Trash"

    Contributed by James Lee on Nov 22, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,741 views

    Our lives are placed through a sifter. With each new day, the crank is turned and a few more of our rough edges disappear as the finer parts of our new man and the coarse parts of our sinful, fleshly nature are revealed so that these character flaws can be discarded.

    I bring out a sifter with flour, rocks and stick mixed together and set it on the table, next to a pile of un-sifted flour. I can remember not too many years ago when we used an old hand operated flour sifter. It was a simple little contraption that consisted of a little tin can with a screen in ...read more

    One of the many symbols for the Holy Spirit is the WIND. It is a powerful symbol that we need to recognize and accept. Without Him, we will be spiritually poor, by our own choosing. Let the wind blow and be blessed.
