     | 8,352 views

    It's interesting how we view famous people or those in authority over us. We want them to be distinctively different from us and yet we long for them to be human enough that they're like us - we feel the same way towards God.

    The enemy of soul oftentimes uses our memories against us. He will use them to distract us from what the Lord is trying to do in our lives. This message includes a powerful Word that the Lord gave.

    We’re going to begin in Philippians. Worship is very important in developing our relationship with the Lord. God wants us to understand that if you’re going to mature from Point A to Point B, worship is going to be a very important part of that. And if you want to mature from Point B to Point C, ...read more

    This message looks at how our heart is like soil into which the gospel is planted, and we must be certain that our soil is fertile and ready to receive the Word. Otherwise, we will wither in our relationship with God; or worse, we will perish.

    I have entitled our message, “Where Do You Stand?” This morning, as we look at what’s called the “Parable of the Sower,” we’re going to see how Jesus talks about four different soils, or four different types of spiritual ground, on which people may stand in relation to God. Something challenging ...read more

We laugh this off as not being important, but God sees the way people think as being very important. Illus: We see this in the ...read more
