    Obedience; Big "O” Series

    Contributed by Steven Spillman on May 2, 2008
    based on 11 ratings
     | 5,068 views

    Obedience, with a big “O” isn’t how we behave. Behavior is like obedience with a little “o”.

    Obedience, with a big “O” isn’t how we behave. We talked about behavior a few weeks ago (Purpose Issue 16). Behavior is like obedience with a little “o”. It’s acting how we know we’re supposed to act everyday. It’s what most of us think the two greatest commandments, “Love the Lord your God with ...read more

    Rest For The Weary

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Apr 7, 2015
     | 7,166 views

    If we accept the rest Jesus offers, all we have to do is accept his teachings as well as the obligations he will lay upon us. He invites us to treat each other as brothers and sisters in Christ.

    “Nothing I do is ever enough!!!” Have you ever heard someone say that? Have you ever said that or thought that yourself? Well I certainly have, especially when my father was alive. Sometimes no matter how much we do, how much we say, how much we pay, how much we save, how much we ...read more

    The Defiance Of The Queen Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,953 views

    Queen Vashti was expected to behave in a way contrary to conscience and she refused the king's command. Her refusal was the right decision to make, but it cost her dearly. Living upright will not always gain one the favor of the world.

    The Defiance of the Queen Esther 1: 10-22 As we consider our text today, we must do so in light of the preceding verses. King Ahasuerus had thrown a six month long party, culminating with a seven day finale. He had provided an elaborate escapade for all the princes and servants within the ...read more

    GIGO Anyone who has been around computers knows the term GIGO, Garbage In, Garbage Out.

    Walking in the dark when all you had to do was turn on the switch.

    Many of us have all walked into a dark room or hallway before. In our journey down the road of darkness, we’ve stubbed a toe, hit an elbow, nicked a knee and hit a head. By the time you get to the end, your results are bruises aches and pains. I’m using this metaphor to illustrate ...read more

    Mastering Self-Control: A Path To Freedom SermonCentral

    Contributed by SermonCentral on Sep 9, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,475 views

    This sermon explores the concept of self-control, a fruit of the Spirit. It provides a roadmap to gaining more self-control, starting with acknowledging our problems, leaving the past behind, mastering our emotions, believing in our capacity for change, avoiding temptation, and relying on Christ's power.

    This sermon is about self-control, which is one of the fruits of the Spirit. Self-control is important because many of our problems stem from a lack of it. We often wonder why we can't lose weight, keep our house clean, or break bad habits. The answer is that we lack self-control. Our biggest ...read more

    The great feast of the loaves and fishes has ended. The holiday spirit and sense of sensationalism has subsided. The Lord has concluded His great sermon on the meaning of the eternal bread of life.

    Jesus Is The Answer John 6:66-69 "From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with Him. Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will you also go away? Then Simon Peter answered Him, Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal lie. And we believe and are sure that ...read more

    The Magi's Guide To Following A Star

    Contributed by Chris Tiller on Nov 19, 2005
    based on 92 ratings
     | 19,442 views

    God just might give you a star to capture your attention and to guide you. And if you follow that star, everything just might change. An intimate encounter with Jesus has a way of doing that to people.

    I love the story of the magi. There was a time when the magi lived far away from Jesus. They were given a special star to capture their attention and to guide them. They followed the star, and it changed everything. An intimate encounter with Jesus has a way of doing that to people. I love the ...read more

     | 79 views

    The parables clarify the truth for those who want to believe but they also conceal the truth for those who do not want to believe.

    Sermon 1 THE PARABLES OF JESUS (Matt. 13:34-35; Mark 4:33-34) “Jesus spoke all these things to the crowd in parables; he did not say anything to them without using a parable. So it was fulfilled what was spoken through the prophet: I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter things ...read more

    Jesus was used by God to accomplish precisely what He intended by sovereign foreknowledge, power and miraculous interventions. Only the Lord is able to make sense of chaos

    How Christ Gives Meaning to All Aspects of History Illustration:If God did not bless, not one hair, not a solitary wisp of straw, would grow; but there would be an end of everything.

    As the literal translation informs us, the Hebrew sense of the moving of God’s Spirit upon the face of the waters is understood as the Spirit fluttering as with wings, over the waters.
