    Where's Your Mind Set? Series

    Often we want to make ourselves better but go about it the wrong way. Paul the Apostle gives us tips in how to put off the old nature and put on Christ’s character.

    In chapter 2, Paul focused on the error of elevating the mind above the knowledge of God, and focusing on taming the physical body as a way to righteousness. He chastises the use of external rules and regulations, especially those around following certain ritual days and abstaining from certain ...read more

    Many people are looking for the perfect church - yet they don’t have a clue where to find it. These three verses from Colossians give us a snapshot of the perfect church - and it might be the church your at.

    The Perfect Church Colossians 3:12-14 In my time in ministry, I have heard more than once the statement, “If you find the perfect church don’t join it because it will no longer be perfect.” I’m not sure, but I have a suspicion that something was being hinted at in that statement. What do you ...read more

    This sermon is 3rd in a series on the fruits of the Spirit, or Charcter of a Christian: Peace

    I. I have to begin with a little story that came across my e-mail this week about a "haunted car" in Lousianna.

    We suffer relational wrecks when we drive carelessly. Highway safety tips provide spiritual parallels for navigating relationships. One of my guys with the public works department set up some signs on the platform for this one.

    “Give ‘em a Brake” Colossians 3:1-15 A news story out of St. Louis last year began… "He was a loving father and loved his grandkids," Linda Heath never imagined Wednesday would mark the first time she referred to her husband of 31 years in the past tense.” On April 26, 2006 Henry Heath was ...read more

    Have you ever wondered “Why do we gather together on Sunday mornings? What is the purpose of carving out of our busy week 2 – 3 hours to come to a place to be with other people to sing songs and to listen to a guy speak?” What is the purpose of congregational worship? I mean, you could be home ...read more

    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
