    What we believe controls how we live, as opposed to what we "SAY" we believe. Here are 4 truths we need to believe.

    What am I to “Believe?” Hebrews 3:1-19 * Blessed or Busted by God, which is it? If you were standing before Jehovah today, would He give you a word of blessing or would He view your life as unsatisfactory? Today we conclude this series of messages & hopefully, make the decision to ...read more

    The Answer To Religion Series

    Contributed by Brad Bailey on Oct 20, 2010
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,142 views

    Whenever religion is infused with independence, power, and control it becomes ultimate evil, but when it leads into the way of submission, sacrifice, and service it bears the ultimate goodness of God.

    Much argument today is made about whether religion is helpful or harmful for society. Of course much of the discussion hinges on what we mean by religion. It‟s a topic that many of us could really go off on. But if I had to sum up what I see it would be this: whenever religion is infused ...read more

    Disagreements are normally centered around power and control. Getting our own way with little regard to what is actually best for a majority or a right thing to do.

    The Heart of the matter James 4:1-10 For the past couple of months we have had a sort of strange schedule. We have been in and out of the book of James.

    In our text we read of an individual who had once been controlled by the devil, but the Lord cast the devil out of him and marvelously saved him.

    Of course any person who has been saved surely appreciates what the Lord has done for him, but many times those who have been in the depths of sin almost seem to appreciate their salvation more than those who had led good moral lives. Well, it seems that this man, who had been demon possessed was ...read more
