This message was designed to help its audience understand how worry runs contrary to God’s will for our lives. It is intended to encourage people to let God build their lives free from the anxiety that saps our lives away one crisis at a time.

Worry – The Life Stealer Celebration Service April 14, 2002 Last week we spent some time talking about rest and how important rest is to us.

Boasting

Contributed by Lou Nicholes on May 25, 2005

What Paul is about to do in this passage is contrary to his character. He never had any problem boasting about Christ and telling of His sufferings, but he was always hesitant to speak of his own painful experience as a servant of the Lord. However, bec

THOUGHTS ABOUT THE PASSAGE: A sightseeing bus was making the rounds through Washington, D. C., and the driver was pointing out spots of interest.

When Believers Fall Series

Contributed by Chuck Sligh on Jun 28, 2015

Simon the Sorcerer, contrary to many theologian's views, was a true believer. But being immature, he was seduced to go back to the old ways of thinking. It took a truth-telling believer (Peter) to set him straight and tell him the path to forgiveness.

Fig Tree Cursed And Temple Cleansed Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Feb 9, 2018

God Is Omnipotent Part 1 Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 10, 2021

God had the power to win, and His omnipotence is established forever. He can do anything that He wills to do. Thank God there is much He does not will to do, and thank God He is not compelled by His power to do anything contrary to His nature.

Alfred North Whitehead, one of the philosophical giants of the 20th century, said, "The glorification of power has broken more hearts than it has healed." He warns against the glorifying of even God's power. For the abuse of power all through history makes this attribute produce ...read more

Contention Intervention (January 22, 2023 Version)

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Jan 21, 2023

Freedom From The Oppression Of The Taskmasters

Contributed by Bishop Prof. Julius Soyinka on Apr 13, 2016

A Journey Of Faith

Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on Dec 20, 2020

The Limitless Love Of God

Contributed by Jack Perkins, D.min., Ladc, Csac, Cclc on Jun 7, 2022

How should we respond to those who have radical beliefs and lifestyles contrary to our beliefs? The temptation is to counter their viciousness and label them as an enemy. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus gives us a model for the attitude that we are to have when faced with divisive social issues.

If not careful, as we study the Bible, we will pick and choose passages that support certain points of view or principles to which we cling. Yet those who first heard what has become known as the Sermon on the Mount had no idea what Jesus was about to say. They understood the moralism of their day, ...read more
