    Three questions arise to me out of our chapter: • Who is the Man of lawlessness? • What power is holding back the rise of the antichrist? • How do I keep from being deceived by the Great Deceiver?

    Are we equipped to stand in difficult times? This exposition of Philippians 4:1-3 examines Paul's instruction for standing firm. We cannot do it without the right mindset. We cannot do it without unity.

    Intro We are in a study of Philippians; our text today in Philippians 4:1-3. In the previous three chapters Paul has emphasized the importance of standing firm in the face of persecution and other difficulties. In chapter one he exhorted: “Only let your conduct be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so ...read more

    In the following sermon we are going to learn how our “life psalm” ought to be “alternating verses of praying and praising” with the assurance that our requests given in the will of God, though they be might be delayed, will be granted in His power and sovereignty!

    This message looks at the topic of delayed visions, and attempts to understand why it might be taking so long for a vision to manifest or be fulfilled. When God shares a vision, we need to have patience and endurance, and walk by faith.

Well, one evening, when I was about ten-years-old, I was outside walking on the family farm; and off in the distance, I saw a hot air balloon about a mile away.

    “A person without self-control is like a city with broken-down walls.” Proverbs 25:28 (NLT)

    In a world of deteriorating morality, we must give special attention to Self-discipline and Self-Control to live a virtuous life. Everything we do in life is a choice, and I think most of us realize that. But what most people don’t seem to realize is that everything we don’t do in ...read more

     | 6,114 views

    Divine rewards demand that we conduct our lives according to God's rules provided in His Word.

    I consider the initial verses of this chapter to be among the most significant verses of the book. They are, as well, perhaps the most neglected verses of the missive which Paul wrote. I confess that I am ploughing quite a narrow furrow in these expositions. Note that the Apostle appeals to ...read more

    Three men each making a statement regarding his commitment or lack of commitment to following Christ. Each wanted to follow Christ; none wanted to stop looking back. Their commitment can be described as limited, delayed, and insincere.

    Don’t Look Back Luke 9:57-62 Would you consider yourself a committed Christian? Realistically, are you a disciple of Christ or merely a follower of Christ? There is a difference.

    We’ve all experienced potholes in the road of life that either slow us down, delay our journey or sometimes totally disrupt it. Potholes are anything in life that keep us from moving forward.

    Potholes Mark 8:27-35 Bumpy streets are so commonplace in New Orleans that residents have taken some extreme measures to draw attention to particularly bothersome potholes.

    Like the prodigal son, Jonah came to himself in his moment of despair. He cried out unto the Lord, desiring renewed fellowship with Him. Seeking to flee the Lord's presence cannot delay the inevitable.
