    The Way To A Healthier Life

    Contributed by Martin Wiles on Aug 24, 2010
     | 5,245 views

    This sermon deals with the principles that should characterize our giving-to the local church and otherwise.

    THE WAY TO A HEALTHIER LIFE II CORINTHIANS 9:6-15 INTRODUCTION Sir Winston Churchill said; “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” This is similar to the teaching of Jesus: “Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” (Matthew 6:21) Dr. Karl Menninger, ...read more

    Called To Serve The Lord

    Serving God is a privilege. It is an honor. Not everyone is called to serve the Lord. Though the Word of God says many are called but very few are chosen. I remember one very old book authored by a mighty Man of God named TL Osborn. It said, "ONE WAY- JESUS & ONE JOB- TO SERVE HIM."

    The Bible says that the harvest is plentiful but the labourers are few. It is also stated that many are called but only few who are chosen. I always count it a privilege to serve God. That is one of the greatest honors one could receive from Him. Serving God comes with a price, a sacrifice. ...read more

    For World Communion Sunday: God restrains us from destructive behavior; but even if we ignore that, His hand continues to hold us back.

    You may have noticed that I am a creature of habits. I do what I do according to the clock and by the book. If it is time for staff meeting, I will be here, seldom early, sometimes late because of traffic, but I will be here. It’s on the calendar, so I do it. I am a creature of habits. If it ...read more

    As Christians we're supposed to live a different life than those around us. But how can we do that when we're surrounded with so many temptations to do things we know we shouldn't do?

    Back in the 14th century, in the region we now call Belgium, there was a duke by the name of Raynald III. Raynald had a nickname – Crassus. Crassus means fat, and he was fat because he really liked to eat. He liked to EAT … a lot! In the course of time, he had a violent quarrel with his younger ...read more

    The thump rule for giving to God and to the needy is love to God. This is the secret to prosperity and success. God has left a challenge to all the Tithe payers that he would open the windows of heaven and pour out the overflowing blessings upon them if they are faithful in paying their Tithe.

    Theme: Excel in Giving Text: 2 Corinthians 8:7 Excel in Giving Naturally, we are tempted and more enthusiastic about getting, and retaining than giving.

    OCD is often joked about but this mental health issue can severely impact people's lives. Saul's obsession over David ultimately impacted his ability to rule Israel.

    In 1884 he moved to the United States with nothing but a letter of introduction to Thomas Edison. The letter was written by his former employer, Charles Batchelor, and it simply read, “I know two great men, one is you and the other is this young man.” Today, when we think of Tesla, we think of ...read more
