    Choice Of The Jews Defended Series

    Contributed by Bob Faulkner on Mar 14, 2024
     | 669 views

    God is faithful even though the Jews were not. His choice of these people was for His own purposes.

    3:1 “What advantage then has the Jew, or what is the profit of circumcision?” Try to ignore the chapter division here. The flow of thoughts continues. And understand that when he uses the term “Jew” here, Paul is using it generically to include physical and true Jew. Macarthur adds to the question ...read more

    Wash Yourself Series

    Part 2 of "Heavenly Cleansing" series. When Jesus saves us, He sanctifies us positionally. But it is left to us to maintain our practical sanctification. This requires daily cleansing.

    WASH YOURSELVES Isa. 1:16-18 INTRO. Last week we discussed the fact that revival would not come without first recognizing and confessing any unconfessed sin that may be hiding in our hearts. The Holy Spirit moved and many of you were touched and led to clean out the basements of your ...read more

    Why should we love ourselves? Are we worth loving?

    As yourself! How many of you remember the stories about Narnia? I have learnt about them again fairly recently as my son has become interested in the series.

    We shall steer safely through every storm, so long as our heart is right, our intention fervent, our courage steadfast and our trust fixed on God.

    1Samuel 30: 1-8:“And it came to pass, when David and his men were come to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had invaded the south, and Ziklag, and smitten Ziklag, and burned it with fire.

    Separate Yourself

    Contributed by Timothy Brewington Ii on Sep 9, 2003
    based on 94 ratings
     | 50,581 views

    We must separate ourselves from whatever is not like God. We must also separate ourselves unto God. This means that we most make ourselves only available to God. God uses people that have mad themselves available to him.

    2 Corinthians 6:17 "Therefore come out from them and be separate, says the Lord...” God has always required His people to separate. He told Israel, “be ye holy, for I am Holy.” God knows that we become like, whoever and whatever we spend the most time with. God wants us to be like Him, ...read more

    #8 in 10 Commandment Series

    #8 “CHEATING YOURSELF” TEXT: Ex. 20:15; Eph. 4:28; Mal. 3:8-14 INTRO: When we think of “stealing” we usually picture a hardened criminal like a bank robber or the “cat burglar” or perhaps someone who is a kleptomaniac.

    Don’t believe anything just because somebody else told you to.

    Imagine being out in the woods, hiking, camping, working. When all of a sudden you feel a sharp pain in your leg. You look down and see two small holes in your skin and this long, legless creature slithering away through the grass. Well, being a fairly intelligent person, you’d probably come ...read more

    It’s tough to be a teenager today. I wrote this series of messages for our new 7th graders graduating into teenage life. The first message in the series explores the misconceptions that adults have on youth and how to overcome them.

    Prove Yourself Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. – 1 Timothy 4:12 I.

    We are as He is in this world...As followers of Jesus Christ, we have an obligation first to our Lord then to others to live lives that identify us as set apart from this world, different from those who don’t know the Lord.

    Identify Yourself! Text: 1 Jn 4:17; Re 1:13-16 Introduction: As a child, I remember a Sci-Fi TV show where the robot would go around saying, "Identify yourself!" As humans, we all have an identity. Our identity is very important - it is what distinguishes us or sets us apart as our own person - no ...read more
