    Proper Planning Series

    Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Dec 15, 2009
    based on 21 ratings
     | 28,173 views

    This section warns against self-centered planning. Worldly living is not displayed only by a disbelief in God, sometimes it’s apparent in the disregarding of God as we plan our life & our daily activities.

    JAMES 4:11-17 PROPER PLANNING [Luke 12:16-21] It is too easy for Christians to make plans and set goals, expecting God to fall in line behind them. It is easy to plan our lives as if we controlled the future and had unlimited authority over the factors that affect our life. And so, in reality ...read more

    The Strength Of The Triangle

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Sep 22, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,423 views

    We like to think we can support our lives on love alone; but we first need hope, a healthy self-love; and fundamentally need faith, trusting in God’s empowering us.

    With the summer coming on, we began to think about getting our deck ready for some serious use. It was built several years ago and needed a little repair work. Now I had been reading about some problems with deck construction. I had read of decks that had collapsed, and how the building ...read more

    Getting Real With Your Enemies Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 5, 2003
    based on 28 ratings
     | 3,939 views

    Hostility comes from the obsessed, self-absorbed heart, and often offers permission for random acts of violence. Jesus got real with His enemies by naming their madness but trusting His own defense to God.

    Stress strengthens. That is a physical fact. It is also a spiritual truth. Stress strengthens us. When we face opposition, we grow. When we deal with differences, we become stronger than we were. Strange as it may seem, and unpleasant though it may feel, give thanks when you ...read more

    Can't Shake Off Mom's Voice

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 14, 2003
    based on 17 ratings
     | 4,150 views

    Mothers (or parents) communicate an atmosphere as much as they communicate specific ideas; we as children cannot rid ourselves of that atmosphere, good or bad. But faith in God can lift us to a new self-esteem.

    Just about everybody has a story that involves Mom’s voice. Just about anyone can tell you something distinctive about the things Mother used to say. We can remember not only what she said, but also the way she said it, the tone of voice she used. It’s surprising how many of us can remember ...read more

    We LET GO of Sin…Self…Schedule in order that we can LET GOD be exalted! I used this sermon as a springboard for See You At The Pole. We also used alot of video illustrations.

    Letting Go Open with DVD – Visual Reality: Volume 6; “Be Still” Psalm 46:10 “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” BE STILL in the Hebrew can also be translated, “let go”.

    The Sin Of Pride

    Contributed by Don Baggett on Feb 13, 2008
     | 6,109 views

    Most everybody knows that pride is sinful, but not everybody has an adequate understanding of what pride is and what it does. Pride, at its very heart, is a self-centeredness, and it will always move you away from godliness.

    Discovering A Biblical Worldview Series

    Contributed by John Dixon on Feb 14, 2016
     | 4,512 views

    The Christian Worldview has permeated all of Western Civilization. The impact of Christian thought is the source of the freedoms that we enjoy. To separate Biblical truth from our society is to doom our culture to self-destruction.

    Matthew 5:13-20 NASB 13 “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has become tasteless, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled under foot by men. 14 “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be ...read more

    The King Of Glory

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,596 views

    The view of God should show our need for true cleansing and a genuine desire to tell people about the Lord. The Holiness of God requires: True worship, self-examination, extreme cleansing, and willing servants.

    Homiletical Bridge Isaiah 6:1-8 Prior Context: Israel has been warned that mere sacrifices without true repentance was what the Lord wanted. Immediate Context: The great king Uzziah has died.

    Jehovah Shalom - God Is Peace Series

    Contributed by Paul Basehore on Feb 12, 2015
     | 12,898 views

    Fear is a self-preservation instinct -- it's designed to protect us from something that may cause us real or imagined harm. But Jesus says in Matthew not to fear death, but to fear God. What's the difference?

    Jehovah Shalom - God of Peace Fear is a constant in our world. It’s so immersed in our culture that sometimes it’s actually considered a psychiatric issue, complete with fancy descriptive terms! I thought it may be interesting to read some of these to you tonight. Some seem normal, but ...read more

    Are they really ready to break free from their self-destructive cycle? Are you? If Jacob decides to act on what God has said what would it look like in their lives? What will it look like in yours?

    When One Is Better Than A Crowd

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,043 views

    The church is one body and not many and yet unity is often hindered by such "diseases" as pride, self-sufficiency, ignorance and laziness. To "heal" we need first to die to ourselves and surrender to Christ who will change us.

    This week I heard devastating news from a friend of mine who will soon be ordained as a pastor. His son was just diagnosed with cancer. This is a young man, 18 years old, graduating from high school in just a few months and having to now face stage three cancer. It’s heart wrenching – ...read more

     | 24,096 views

    There are two main defects that can effect a Pious Life: (1) they have a mistaken version of Piety as Holy Joe and Mechanical Martin or (2) they knowingly reject Piety for self-fulfillment like Phil the Pharisee.

    After some research I discovered a couple of things that are commonly mistaken for Piety. Piety is not being a quote a Holy Joe We all have are own conception of a Holy Joe, but there are some common basic characteristics. A Holy Joe will go to church, why ( Pause) because their family has ...read more

    Individual Purpose Vs. Corporate Purpose

    Contributed by Steven Spillman on May 1, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,263 views

    Doesn’t God have a purpose for mankind in general or for the church as a whole? Isn’t focusing on individual purpose a little self-serving? Aren’t we pushing individualism at the expense of the Body of Christ?

    Up to this point, Purpose Weekly has focused on individual purpose. But what about corporate purpose? Doesn’t God have a purpose for mankind in general or for the church as a whole? Isn’t focusing on individual purpose a little self-serving? Aren’t we pushing individualism at the expense of the ...read more

    based on 6 ratings
     | 20,060 views

    The first of two sermons about king Asa of 2nd Chronicles. This is about seeking after God in a way that is internal, self searching as well as external. The listener is asked, "are we honest with ourselves?"

    King Asa: Seek. 2 Chronicles 15:1-9 In the early days of the Kingdom of Israel there were three relatively successful kings, being King Saul, King David and King Solomon.
