    Repairing The Altar Of The Lord

    based on 4 ratings
     | 64,174 views

    An honest look at the condition of the church in many places today reveals weakness, lethargy, and decline. In many places the fires of revival and renewal have dimmed, or have been greatly hindered by the encroachments of sin, the flesh and the devil.

    REPAIRING THE ALTAR OF THE LORD Study Text: 1Kings 18: 30 - 39 Introduction: - The trouble in many churches is not the Pastor or the program. The trouble is "Broken Altars" in the lives of God's people. - The purpose of an altar is: Worship; Sacrifice; Giving of Offerings; God's people gather ...read more

    The Worse Homecoming Ever

    Contributed by Larry Turner on Oct 24, 2016

     | 12,405 views

    A church in decline. A pastor discouraged. A congregation wanting to party as if all were well. Not exactly a great recipe for me to get a sermon. But the Lord spoke to me and took some weight off my shoulders in this sermon.

    Welcome to our 2nd Annual Homecoming Dinner. This is actually my sixth October as pastor and the church itself has existed for 14 years. The reason it is the second homecoming dinner is because we decided to start having one last year. This year 30 past and present members were invited. Eleven ...read more

    Haggai is written 60 years after the Israelites have been in captivity in Babylon. The Babylonian empire was in decline and now the Persians were the dominant force. The Persians allowed the Jewish people to return to Jerusalem, which was in ruins.

     | 190 views

    Solomon began well but ended poorly due to compromise. His wisdom, achievements, and failures serve as lessons for us today. We must seek wisdom, obey God wholeheartedly, and guard against spiritual decline.

    Many today are obsessed with making the Bible fit our cultural perspective, even when it means abandoning sound principles of interpretation. Today we will find how important the historical/cultural context really is to sound biblical exegesis.

    My Self-Esteem And What Became Of It

    based on 1 rating
     | 7,708 views

    Self-esteem is detrimental to the health of the Christian and to the health of the church. Christians must cultivate humility of spirit that permits them to serve Christ and to serve their fellow saints.

    “If there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count ...read more

     | 1,012 views

    Lamentations speaks on behalf of those suffering as he reminds the Lord of how great is the grief experienced. He confesses that the judgement is deserved. In this, he provides a warning to those living in this present culture that they must not presume against the goodness of God.

    Grief touches each of us eventually. [1] Though we know we will experience grief as individuals, we sometimes need to be reminded that grief will consume the nation that turns from righteousness while embracing wickedness. Some might suppose that Christians will gloat when judgement at last comes ...read more

    Sex has become a cultural obsession but the picture of sex that our culture paints is a cheap counterfeit of God’s design. What we have done is dehumanized ourselves and taken something which was meant to be sacred, wonderful and beautiful and changed it

    We often let ’cultural Christianity’ override the truth of God’s grace in our relationships

    There’s a story about a mother who handed her six-year-old son two candy balls, and told him to share with his four year old brother. She said, “He may spit it out, because they’re kind of sour tasting. But if he keeps sucking on it, there’s bubble gum in the middle”. The older boy ran ...read more

    In a culture filled with self-gratification, developing servant attitude families presents challenges that are addressed with this message.

    Ephesians 5:21-31 (NIV) 21 Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. 22 Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also ...read more
