    Stop Chasing Shadows! Series

    Contributed by David Dykes on Oct 9, 2006
    based on 8 ratings
     | 16,146 views

    Keeping religious rules and observing religious rituals in order to be close to God are only a shadow of the "real thing," a relationship with Him through Jesus.

    INTRODUCTION In the time of the early church, there were people in the churches who were teaching that once you became a Christian, you still had to obey the Jewish regulations and rituals to be religiously correct. That kind of false teaching still exists in the 21st century. In this series I’m ...read more

    Follow Jesus--Not Your Feelings Series

    Contributed by David Dykes on Oct 9, 2006
    based on 10 ratings
     | 14,518 views

    Are you a little proud you attend church? Do you feel a little superior to those folks who sleep in or are out on the lake? There is no room for spiritual pride in grace, because in grace, it’s all about boasting in God not in our goodness.

    INTRODUCTION If you were around in 1975 you might remember the one-hit wonder “Feelings,” by Morris Albert “Feelings, nothing more than feelings; / Trying to forget my feelings of love; / Feelings, whoa, whoa, whoa feelings…” This is the sappiest song I’ve ever heard. It was never was one of my ...read more

    Are you still trying to obey rules and observe rituals to earn God’s favor?

    INTRODUCTION During this Grace-Robbers series we have noted there are many people who are still trying to live under law instead of grace. Rules and laws can often be ridiculous, and even funny. Here is a list of ten actual laws from different states. 1. In Alabama it is illegal for a driver to ...read more

    To Err Is Human; To Forgive Divine Series

    based on 45 ratings
     | 41,696 views

    When you hold onto the sins and shortcomings of others, it hurts you. Forgiveness can release you of that pain. To err IS human; but to forgive FEELS divine!

    INTRODUCTION In the series entitled “No, that’s NOT in the Bible” we discover some of these pseudo-scriptures actually contradict the Bible. For instance, believing the adage “God helps those who help themselves” can hinder a person from seeking God’s help. The aphorism “God won’t put more on you ...read more

    Are You Loving Others Or Judging Others? Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Mcleod on Oct 19, 2006
    based on 9 ratings
     | 9,147 views

    If we think we can live the Christian life by following rules and forgetting about loving others, we have missed the point. The Christian life can be summed up in one word: love.

    “Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ” (Col. 2:16-17). Background I. God does not want you to ...read more

     | 2,624 views

    This is a sermon starter for Preaching out of the second chapter of Colossians showing our all sufficiency in Christ. Autarkia is the Greek word used in the text for "all sufficiency".

    “Autarkia” (Greek) “Fully Sufficient” Colossians 2:10-23 “In Him you have been made complete” There are certain things that tend to clutter up the simplicity we have when we are complete in Christ. II Cor 11:3 spoke about those who are deceived, having been led astray from the simplicity and ...read more

    Significance Of The Sabbath

    Contributed by Mitch Davis on Jun 25, 2007
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,310 views

    Many often associate the Sabbath with the Old Testament covenant and don’t think much of it because Christians today are not under the Old Testament. Many as a result miss out in understanding its true and rich value for us today.

    Significance of the Sabbath Theme: How the Sabbath rest affects Christians today INTRODUCTION A. Many Christians have a good working knowledge of the Sabbath. 1. The seventh day of the week, which was a commanded day of rest. 2. This commandment was given only to the house of Israel. 3. Thus, we ...read more
