    Pride is always a hinderance to spiritual growth…and often our pride takes us into places that we wouldn’t normally go and allows us to pretend to overlook the trash on the front porch of our life

    Admitting You Need To Clean Your Porch 1 John 2:15-17 15 Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. 16 For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but ...read more

    The Seriousness Of Forgiveness

    We are told to forgive because God forgave us. We can do that when we take off the old garments of bitterness and anger and replace them with love, compassion and humility. Today we'll see Jesus communicating how serious forgiving others is.

    THE SERIOUSNESS OF FORGIVENESS Last week we looked into the subject of forgiveness. I started by saying we first had to answer the question of whether or not we want to forgive. And if we do we need to determine how to go about it. We looked at Paul's words in Eph., and Col. and saw that we are ...read more

    There are a number of things that a preacher might hear after he preaches a sermon. Some of these things are pleasant and some of them are not.

    Some will say: • "I am going to be late for lunch because you preached so long." • "You must not have had much time to prepare that sermon." • "My former pastor preached a much better sermon from that text." • "You acted like you weren't feeling well while you ...read more

    How Can We Show The Lord We Love Him In ______ ? (New Year Sermon)

     | 961 views

    As we take a close look at this text, we see a picture of the Lord and the twelve disciples gathered for their Passover supper.

    The disciples had the question of who was the greatest among them on their minds, but Jesus had something entirely different on His mind. He was thinking of the one that would BETRAY HIM! One of the most painful experiences in life is to be betrayed by someone we love. • We all know the ...read more

    Those who are suffering need to pray and the cheerful should sing psalms of praise to God. We need to be there for them

    James 5:13-20 13 Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms. 14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: 15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord ...read more

    When Jesus prayed for the Father to forgive those who were mistreating him I said in the sermon a couple of weeks ago that if Jesus can forgive those who mistreated him then we can forgive those who mistreat us. It's not easy, but we can do it.

    FATHER, I FORGIVE THEM When Jesus prayed for the Father to forgive those who were mistreating him I said in the sermon a couple of weeks ago that if Jesus can forgive those who mistreated him then we can forgive those who mistreat us.

    Will you accept God’s forgiveness today? Will you forgive as God has forgiven you? God through Christ has forgiven us, forgiven me, so we, so I, must forgive others.

    As we continue in our series on Supernatural Streams this month our focus is on Forgiveness. So the first question as we begin this morning is this: Do you think forgiveness is a good thing? Ok, second question: Do you find it easier to forgive yourself or forgive other people? Sometime we ...read more

    We need to remember / Never Forget that Someday we will be “summoned” / To give an account. • This does not necessarily happen on the other side. • It can happen any day as God responds to our unforgiveness.

    The High Cost of Unforgiveness Matthew 18:21-35 Several years ago, we were looking to buy a new car. • We found one we wanted, but we discovered that it cost more than we could afford. • Most of us in life find that we have a limit to what we can or will pay for an item. Jesus ...read more

    If I am unwilling to forgive can I still find forgiveness?

    Read the passage… “Did Jesus really mean what he said in verse 26? We live in a time when many don’t mean what they say. How many times have you done as I have…telling your children over and over that if they don’t stop doing something or if they don’t do ...read more

    Study on the parable of the unforgiving servant - the necessity of forgiving one another.

    He done you wrong. He did. I don’t know who “he” is. I don’t know what “he done.” I just know that, whoever he or she is, and whatever he or she did, I’m right, aren’t I? He done you wrong. She done you wrong. Do you have that person in mind? ...read more

    A third look at being generous.

    Generosity April 21, 2013 Last winter, as we led up to Christmas I spoke about grace for a number of weeks.

    In our scripture today, God calls us Christ’s ambassadors. What exactly does that mean? An ambassador is someone who represents the interests of their homeland in a foreign country. Spiritually speaking, we are to represent Jesus and invite others

    Bring 2 Corinthians 5:18 I think it’s safe to say that the majority of us are here today because of someone else. Maybe you were invited by someone or maybe you grew up in this church and you’re here because of your family. Even those of you who came here on your own, more than likely ...read more
