    The Three Fools

    Contributed by John Gaston on Jan 28, 2016

     | 13,424 views

    Almost like the 3 Stooges, the Bible describes 3 types of fools: the Mental Fool, the Mocking Fool, and the Material Fool. We need to examine ourselves to make sure we don't fall into one of these three categories.

    THE THREE FOOLS Psalms 14:1-7 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. The Three Stooges were a comedy act that built on the ignorance of 3 men: Moe, Larry, & Curly. In this episode, Curly’s trying to save a woman’s reputation and displays his fear of mice and penchant for ...read more

     | 5,965 views

    Covetousness will cause a person to implode, from which few people survive.

    Recently, an elderly woman here in Florida won the $600 million lottery. I am happy for her and diligently looking into my family tree to see if I might not be a distant relative. I was thinking about this and wondering how many people contributed to this lottery to bring it up to the $600 million ...read more

    Money Talks Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Sep 13, 2021
     | 4,323 views

    In James 5, James comes down very hard on the rich and the sins that often accompany materialism. What we do with our money declares what we value and love. So, what is your use of money saying about you?

    Introduction: A. One evening a husband was balancing the checkbook and said to his wife, “You know the old saying, ‘money talks’? Well, ours just said, ’So long!’” 1. I know that we all feel that way sometimes, don’t we? 2. The world we live in runs on money, and it seems that we never have enough ...read more

     | 2,791 views

    9 de los 10 Mandamientos tienen pruebas materiales para mostrar el pecado cometido. El Mandamiento décimo aunque es diferente, y esas muchas personas lo cometerán y no lo confesarán, porque ellos no ven evidencia de su pecado.

En estas Leyes de Dios que gobierna nuestra vida diaria en este mundo, nosotros hemos visto que Dios tiene un estándar alto que El espera que Sus personas esfuercense para en la vida.

    Christians usually clean up the egregious and external sins soon after they are saved. But there are some things that are often acceptable in many Christian circles that are really sins. This sermons addresses some of them.

    How do you lose your soul? It’s a slow progression.

    Jesus had a lot to say but sometimes people wouldn’t listen. They say that preaching is the fine art of talking in someone else’s sleep.
