    Servant Of All

    Contributed by Charles Mallory on Sep 19, 2024
     | 1,094 views

    Jesus lived out and taught us how to become great in the Kingdom of God. We not only deny ourselves, pick up our cross and follow Jesus, but humble ourselves to become servant to all.

    WHEN WE THINK OF SERVICE TO OTHERS AND ALL THE POSSIBLE WAYS TO ENGAGE OUR ABILITIES, I READ A RATHER HUMOROUS WAY OF LOOKING AT THIS WHICH SAID, ““IF YOU THINK YOU ARE TOO SMALL TO BE EFFECTIVE, YOU HAVE NEVER BEEN IN BED WITH A MOSQUITO.” HOWEVER, ON A MORE SERIOUS NOTE, I LIKE THE WORDS OF JOHN ...read more

    “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

    This sermon explores the concept of self-control, a fruit of the Spirit. It provides a roadmap to gaining more self-control, starting with acknowledging our problems, leaving the past behind, mastering our emotions, believing in our capacity for change, avoiding temptation, and relying on Christ's power.

    This sermon is about self-control, which is one of the fruits of the Spirit. Self-control is important because many of our problems stem from a lack of it. We often wonder why we can't lose weight, keep our house clean, or break bad habits. The answer is that we lack self-control. Our biggest ...read more

    Simon Peter: Stuck In Self-Deception Series

    We live with a self-image that we know is not true, but we like to project it anyway. We will come unstuck from self-deception when there is someone who loves us unconditionally ... the crucified and risen Christ.

    Outside the gate of the great house, it is growing cold. The winter winds are not quite over, and the first breezes of a promised spring have a zip to them.

    As people run headlong into a world going nowhere, escaping reality in their hedonistic lifestyles, are we ashamed of Jesus and His words? Are we ashamed of suffering as Christians? Let’s look at Jesus’ countercultural instructions in Mark 8:31-38.

    Our Own Cross To Bear

    Contributed by Lynn Malone on Mar 7, 2026
     | 46 views

    We like the idea of following Jesus—until we hear Him talk about a cross. In Our Own Cross to Bear, we consider Jesus’ call to deny ourselves and discover that the life we try to protect is the very life we lose. The life we surrender to Christ is the one we truly find.

    Our Own Cross to Bear Mark 8: 34-38 I. Introduction I have to be honest. Preparing this message has been a challenge. It’s a hard word, but it is Jesus explaining the very heart of discipleship. The words Jesus spoke that day to his disciples and to the crowd are just as pertinent to discipleship ...read more

    We exercise self-control in the body by yielding our rights for the benefit of others.
