    Jesus said don’t worry about food and clothes. Don’t be consumed if you have them or not. If Jesus would have been Italian, he might have just said, "Forgeh ’Bout it!"

    Jesus has been telling us about money and possessions. Be generous. Share the blessings that God has given you with others. Make giving your lifestyle. Tithing is one gift that God gives us to help keep our desires in check and to train us to live a lifestyle of giving. End of the month giving ...read more

    Being in contact with the cleansing fire from Jesus Christ is supposed to set us ablaze with love for Him, for the things of heaven, and for the salvation that He has bought for us. It is supposed to consume our thoughts and our emotions. It is supposed t

    I want to start today with a little object lesson if I may. In this dish I have a crumpled piece of newspaper. I am going to set fire to it. See how quickly the flame consumes the paper?

    Here is what I really want to address this morning, IN A NUTSHELL - If you exercise, what you consume turns into energy. If you don't exercise, it turns into fat. And believe it or not, that same truth applies to spiritual food.

    TITLE: OVERFED AND UNDERNOURISHED SCRIPTURE: II TIMOTHY 4:1-5 The terms found in this thought – Overfed and Undernourished – seem to be contradictory in nature. How can one be Overfed and still be Undernourished? How can a person eat more than enough food and still lack proper ...read more

    Some people spend their lives propping up dumb idols that consume their time and resources. This message tackles the golden hemorrhoids account and shows how idolatry can be a real pain. We must give it to God to receive healing.

    This morning we’re going to look at a passage of Scripture that I have struggled with for many years; one that I have read time and again, and I couldn’t figure out how to apply it spiritually. It’s probably one that many of you have read before and came away feeling perplexed. But lately the Lord ...read more

    What if when the prodigal son came home from the hog pen, he found that his father & brother had sold the farm? Today's churches have sold out their original fire and zeal. Will your prodigals find the same church they left?

    DON'T SELL THE FARM! Luke 15:11-20 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Harvey is an old widower living in a convalescent home. Attending social functions there, he met Martha, a widow, and slowly fell in love with her. 2. After a Bingo game, he finally got up the nerve to ask her to marry him. She said, ...read more

    Jeremiah's prophecy of the sash. The effort put forth in holding up one’s clothes represents a willingness to labor for the Lord, and letting ones clothes drag along the ground is symbolic of laziness and a lack of zeal for God's work.

    In days of old, ladies who wore long dresses would lift them up past their ankles when they were walking near a mud puddle or climbing up some stairs. One reason why they did this was so they would not trip and fall; but another reason was to keep their clothing nice and clean. In order to keep ...read more

    If we are going to see the church multiply we must never be lacking in zeal, we must be joyful in hope, and we must not be overcome by evil. The church in America has gotten complacent and lazy, so have we! We must be diligent if we are to improve.

    Nicodemus had been confronted with the fact that his religious zeal will not make him righteous before God. It is only by being "born again" through the work of Jesus Christ for the remission of our sins that we are forgiven and restored to a true relationship with God.

    The mark of a true learner is his or her willingness to be corrected of an erroneous belief or idea that would tend to deter them from seeking the truth about a subject of interest or topic of discussion. They are not so immovable in their thinking to where they refuse to consider anything else ...read more

    We are often serious about all of the wrong things in life. We are concerned, serious, and even consumed with things when it comes to work and play...but are we serious about our God? We can’t afford to be not ready.
