    Acceptable To God

    based on 1 rating
     | 6,403 views

    We must conform to God and not the world. We are to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. This is how we can be acceptable to Him.

    ACCEPTABLE TO GOD The obvious question after hearing the title of this sermon is what must we do to be acceptable to God? If we look at Romans 12:2, Paul has given us some insight into what we might do to be acceptable to Him. Our talk this morning will be on five points contained within our ...read more

    Biblical Fasting

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Jul 24, 2017
     | 4,556 views

    Fasting has been misused by mystics and sometimes remained a mystery to many committed Christians. Although opinions are mixed on the issue, I believe we can carve out a Biblical position that, while perhaps incomplete, will lay a good foundation.

    Biblical Fasting (Matthew 9: 14-15) 1. This is perhaps the most awful pun you will hear. 2. Mahatma Gandhi went around barefoot quite often, and eventually his soles turned very tough and thick. Of course he also was a devout Hindu. Later in life he also fasted a lot, becoming thin and ...read more

    A Savior Is Born Series

    The way Jesus came into the world and the events surrounding that first Christmas affirms so much of what we believe as Christians.

    A Savior Is Born (Luke 2:1-20) 1. This is a true story. Freddie and John were fortunate enough to have a season ticket to watch Chelsea soccer in the UK. They could not help noticing that there was always a spare seat next (B14) to them and they had a friend who would love to buy a season ticket, ...read more

    During this Crisis….this Great Psalm was penned. Out of Trouble came a Triumph! This is a brief overview and context in which this Psalm was written and the revelation to David about God’s Sovereignty over his situation.

    Mirth is not a word we use everyday -- it simply means Joy or Laughter, Happiness.

    Step Nine - Not Saying I'm Sorry? Series

    Contributed by Robert Butler on Jan 8, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,389 views

    Step 9 is making direct amends except when to do so would injure those or others. It’s also the place the writers tell us of the promises come true when one earnestly works the steps of recovery.

    I have been thinking about Step nine over the last few days. I really think the writers knew how much humility and courage it takes to do a 9th step amends and it’s the reason, they made sure the other steps of getting right with oneself and then God came before reconciling with others. Step 9 is ...read more

    Paul's Thorny Trial - Was It Sickness Or?

    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,797 views

    The issue of the Apostle Paul's thorn-in-the-flesh has been hotly debated for centuries.

    "And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of satan to buffet me, lest I be exalted above measure" (2 Cor 12:7 NKJV) Some have held that this "thorn" was an eye disease that God ...read more

    Thanksgiving Day

     | 5,938 views

    The Apostle Paul did not write 365 thank-you notes. But he did write about one-half of the letters that make-up the New Testament. And Paul’s letters overflow with thanksgiving.

    Gratitude is an intentional way of thinking about receiving a benefit and giving credit to others beside oneself for that benefit. Practicing gratitude magnifies positive feelings more than it reduces negative feelings. To illustrate: John Kralik found his life at a terrible, frightening low ...read more

    God does not see as man sees. He placed high premium on broken things. He prefers to deal and bless only things and people that are broken. However, when compared to man, the gap is huge. Man prefers things that are not broken and places value on such. On
