    The Parable Of The Rich Fool

    Contributed by James Snyder on Jul 10, 2013
     | 5,828 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

     | 13,231 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

     | 2,699 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.

    El Pecado que Nadie Confesará Exodo 20:17 Introduction Hoy, nosotros venimos al último de los 10 Mandamientos. 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.

    Money is the Root of all Evil 1 Timothy 6:3-10 Rev. Brian Bill June 10-11, 2017 Our text for today is commonly taken out of context in our culture. When I did a Google search for “Money is the root…” it auto-filled with “of all evil.” As we will see today this is actually a partial quote or ...read more

    Contributed by Charles Payne on Jul 4, 2025
     | 122 views

    We often consider discontentment and ingratitude as minor sins—mere moods, personality quirks, or temporary reactions to life's hard edges. But Heaven hears them differently.

    Contributed by David Owens on Sep 13, 2021
     | 4,210 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

    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. There was a man that was so preoccupied with other thoughts that he missed what Jesus had to say. I want you to hear what Jesus is saying! Jesus sermon ...read more

    based on 8 ratings
     | 5,713 views

    Avarise, or greed, is different than coveteousness. Covetousness is a desire for things we don’t have. Avarice is a hoarding of things we have but don’t need.

    You Really Can¡¦t Take It With You Luke 12:15-21 February 27, 2005 We are in the midst of our sermon series on the seven deadly sins, and have come to avarice.

    Sometimes Ahab repented partially of his evil, only to let evil take a different direction. Evil comes back to bite you.

    Evil Ahab (1 Kings 16:29 - 22:40; 2 Chronicles 18) 1. Some people have no idea what they are saying.
