     | 3,711 views

    The term "Jump the shark" is a pop culture term that means to do something that causes the eventual ruin of that same something. Like the point when a good Tv series goes bad. this is about how to avoid "jumping the shark" in our walks with God.

    JUMP THE SHARK Sometimes new terms come into modern pop culture that catch us guard. I remember the first time I hear “You da bomb”. Party animal for somebody that lives for getting drunk. You da bomb for somebody you actually like. Back before bad meant tough or dangerous it actually ...read more

     | 9,631 views

    What does it mean when Jesus says He is the Light of the World? He spoke to a culture thoroughly verse in the Old Covenant, and so to understand the significance of His words, we will need to explore what the people heard when He spoke.

    ”Again Jesus spoke to [the Jewish leaders], saying, ‘I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.’ So the Pharisees said to him, ‘You are bearing witness about yourself; your testimony is not true.’ Jesus answered, ‘Even if I do bear ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,772 views

    Our reaching out and touching Christ can profoundly change our lives and the lives of those around us. Would we care to step out of our circumstances, cultural and societal pressures, relying on God in faith to do the impossible for us?

     | 4,950 views

    We’re to be counter-cultural in the way we fight against the social pressures of our world where the norm is to respond to hurt with anger and revenge, where lust is seen as normal, faithfulness as an option. Rather we’re to respond with the servant love

    According to the Age this week, the seven deadly sins have been knocked for six. No longer do we worry about sloth, gluttony or lust.

     | 3,372 views

    As much as our culture, or we, might try, to remove it as a barrier...as much as the world might like to make it into only a symbol, and rob it of its eternal meaning, the cross is irreducible. It’s irreducible in time. It’s irreducible in eternity.

    Hell is a literal place that most preachers shy away from preaching in this current "seeker-sensitive" church culture of ours for fear of offending, and to ensure religious correctness and church growth. In our text we find a man preaching from Hell.

    based on 4 ratings
     | 14,108 views

    Our culture tells us to always look for the new and improved; the latest is always the greatest. Pastors are always on the lookout for new methods, new gimmicks, and worst of all, new doctrines. The Bible is full of warnings to God’s people that the popul

    How To Judge Not

    Contributed by Greg Nance on Apr 27, 2013
     | 4,573 views

    Don't judge me! Who are you to judge me? Popular ideas in today's culture need biblical guidance. Let's look a bit at what this is all about and how God wants us to understand and act regarding judging others.

    Matthew 7 Jesus' words: do not judge, are perhaps the most popular words of our culture today. How do you judge not? Particularly, how do you judge not as Jesus taught us? This command in the sermon on the mount is couched in front of another command that seems very much like a judgment call. ...read more
