     | 6,612 views

    When a Christian dresses like Christ, they will display to the world their new position, personality, and priorities

    Introduction: Our journey through the book of Colossians. • If Christ is all I need, then chapters three and four outline what it looks like to live out that statement; where the “rubber meets the road” in the Christian life. • Just like in 3:5, we read in ...read more

    Think you know the definition of faith? Have you looked it up? The Apostles needing something, but was it faith in Christ? They were right there with him! Their faith (as we traditionally think of it) was replaced by sight. So what were they asking?

    Increase our Faith October 6, 2013 A young boy walked into a neighborhood church for the first time. He sat down and looked around at all the posters, announcements and pictures along the walls. When he came to a group of photographs of men in uniform, he asked a nearby usher, “Who are ...read more

    Close Encounters With Christ

     | 6,685 views

    What happens when people encounter the living Lord? -- We discover: 1. the majesty of our Savior (vs. 1-4). 2. the misery of our sin (vs. 5). 3. the ministry of our Savior (vs. 6-7). 4. the motivation of our Service (vs. 8).

    Close Encounters with Christ Isaiah 6:1-8 Sermon by Rick Crandall Grayson Baptist Church - Oct. 24, 2012 BACKGROUND: *We have been studying Old Testament encounters with Christ for almost a year: From Adam to Abraham to Moses.

    Do We Smell Like Sinners?

    Contributed by Ricky Cox on Aug 5, 2014
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,010 views

    Do we spend all of our time inside the church walls, or do we spend so much time out in the community serving others that we start to smell less like sheep and a little more like sinners?

    Do We Smell Like Sinners? I titled the lesson “Do We Smell Like Sinners?” There’s a book titled “Do They Smell Like Sheep” which was written for church leadership and you can probably figure out the gist of the book from the title. But, I want to challenge each of us ...read more

    Singular Allegiance

    Contributed by Jon Lipka on Aug 17, 2014
     | 3,294 views

    Worrying about this life reveals distrust in God's providence for what we need. Faithfully offering God our service and love will be a treasure that will endure even into eternity.

    Jesus says, “You cannot serve both God and Money” (Mt. 6:24). We can either serve God or Money, but not both. We may either seek first the kingdom of God, or seek first the things of this world. We are slaves to God’s law, or slaves to the law of sin (cf. Rom. 7:25). But we cannot ...read more

    The First Will Be Last, And The Last Will Be First

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Jul 30, 2015
    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,660 views

    Faith is not about a church doctrine or power or privilege. It is about service to others-service to the point of sacrifice. It can be expressed equally through individual actions and experiences.

    What is the one human quality that drives us to success while causing all sorts of problems at the same time? It is ambition. Ambition is one of the driving forces in our lives. It propels us to excel in our jobs. It pushes us to reach our goals. It can give us a reason for living. Ambition is one ...read more

    Shelter The Homeless

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Aug 7, 2015
     | 8,382 views

    God asks us to give our lives to him and serve him by serving others. We say to them, “God loves you and so do I”. We can reduce poverty. On Judgment Day, we will be judged by how we lived our lives and whether or not we loved others like Christ loves us.

    “I was homeless and you took me in…” As the worshipers arrived for church in a small town one Sunday morning, they were met by a rather disturbing sight. An apparently homeless beggar sat on the front steps of the church, wearing tattered clothing, a wool cap pulled down over his ...read more

    Man would never write a book about how sinful and wretched he is. The Bible will always point us to our need for a Savior, and Paul reminds the church in Galatia of this critical fact that many of them have seemed to have forgotten!

    There is no other Gospel Galatians, Part 1 Galatians 1:1-10 - Background: The churches in Galatia were formed partly of converted Jews and partly of Gentile converts. Paul asserts his apostolic character and the doctrines he taught, that he might confirm the Galatian churches in the faith of ...read more

    HoHum: Every time I accept the call to preach at a church, I get mixed reactions about the past preacher. Some think that he was God’s gift to the ministry and hated to see him go. Others think that he was the anti Christ and they rejoiced the day he left to go somewhere else. Strive to ...read more

    Man's purpose is to serve God. After the fall of man, he became estranged from God, and Satan penetrated man's thoughts and mind....weaken his resistance to sin.The Creator of heaven and earth is a VERY jealous God, who does NOT tolerate idolatry.
