    Contributed by Kyle Campbell on Feb 9, 2022
     | 1,864 views

    In Ephesians 4:17, Paul “testified” to those Christians that they should not walk as the other Gentiles walk. He strongly charged them to not conduct themselves like others now that they were Christians. Ephesians 4:17-32 deals with the practical aspects of living as a Christian.

    Introduction. In Ephesians 4:17, Paul “testified” to those Christians that they should not walk as the other Gentiles walk. The word “testify” is defined “to summon as a witness” and then “to bear witness” or “declare.” He wanted to strongly impress on them the charge to not conduct themselves like ...read more

     | 67,312 views

    Idolatry is preferring something above God. God doesn’t just want to be added to your list of preferences and activities. He demands that He is your love, your greatest desire, the one who occupies your thoughts and the one you seek to please above all.

    Politics is a blood sport. Some go on principle and naively believe that others will see the logic and fairness of their position while other politicians spin their opponents position and prognosticate to vilify their opponent and scare the electorate that their opponent’s position will result in ...read more

    How To Live Right

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Sep 7, 2009
    based on 5 ratings
     | 8,617 views

    Our thinking drives our behavior. Rather than blindly accepting the trends in our society, Christians should allow their thinking to be shaped by revelation in the word.

    How to Living Right Romans 12:1-3 6-28-09 I begin this message today with an assumption. My assumption is this: Deep in the heart of every Christian is the desire to live right before God. I can’t imagine someone who is truly born again not wanting to please God. When the cry “Abba Father” comes ...read more

    John 8:2-11 The Stone Dropped: How Jesus Turned A Legal Trap Into A Call For Self-Examination

    Contributed by Ellick Wu on Jan 6, 2026
     | 169 views

    Now we come to study John 8:2-11. A familiar story about “The Woman Caught in Adultery” and the well-known phrase, “He who is without sin throws the first stone.” Let’s explore the Hypocrisy in the Temple that day, and challenge the judgmental spirit alive in our world today.

    Imagine the scene: The temple court is quiet, filled with people eager to hear Jesus teach. But the peace is about to shatter. Suddenly, a group of powerful religious leaders storms in, dragging a terrified woman to the center. They haven't come for justice; they've come to set a trap. They ...read more

    Upside-Down, Backwards, And Inside-Out

    Contributed by Jonathan Twitchell on Jul 26, 2006
    based on 10 ratings
     | 12,803 views

    Utilizing 2 Samuel 5:1-10; 2 Corinthians 12:2-10; and Mark 6:1-13, this sermon highlights how the Gospel often seems Upside-down and backwards--but really it is our perspective which needs adjusting.

    When I was a camp counselor during the summers of my High School and College years, I looked forward to the many theme days that we would have throughout the summer. We’d have international food days—complete with French Toast, Tacos, and Hungarian Goulash (that you’d eat with your fingers), or ...read more

    About Paul’s definition of "freedom."

    With each passing year in which our country celebrates it’s independence.. it’s freedom… a cry intensifies for the current generation of citizens to not take their freedom for granted. It’s noted that those who have come to enjoy freedom… can fall back to enslavement and tyranny because they ...read more

    In the conclusion of this series we examine the seasonal "variations" in the weather close to the Equator. Spiritually, we should live close to the Equator with seasonal variations of the same versus total, complete seasonal change.

    A practical teaching on the fear of man vs. the fear of God and how both impact a person's destiny and influence.

    Once upon a time, an elderly man was traveling with a boy and a donkey. As they walked through a village, the man was leading the donkey and the boy was walking behind. The townspeople said the old man was a fool for not riding…so to please them, he climbed up on the animal’s back. When they ...read more

    The title of this sermon may not make a bit of sense…but it is my sincere prayer before I complete this sermon it will make sense and you will understand the seriousness of SPIRITUAL AMNESIA THAT LEADS TO APOSTASY.

    I want to show you two things about AMNESIA AND APOSTASY. First, let us look at… I. AMNESIA WHAT IS AMNESIA? When a person has amnesia they forget some very important things in their life, such as… • They forget who their loved ones are...ISN’T THAT SAD! • Where they live… ISN’T THAT SAD! ...read more
