    Knowing where temptation comes from helps us overcome it.

    A man had just started a diet and was having a difficult time staying away from tempting treats. He had to go downtown (or uptown as they say here) and remembered that his route would take him past the bakery. And so he prayed, “Lord, if you want me to stop for a doughnut, let there be a ...read more

    The Rewards Of Seeking God

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Jan 26, 2003

     | 27,760 views

    God promises great rewards to those who seek Him, and it is a proper motive for obedience to consider these rewards.

    Last week, we discussed the topic of "seeking God." We saw that the pursuit of God is a lifelong quest. It’s not merely a phase in our spiritual growth, nor is it an optional activity. Rather, it’s fundamental to our lives as Christians, from beginning to end. You could even say that continuing to ...read more

    Step Three - Pursuing Your Purpose Series

     | 16,193 views

    Someone who sits idly without a purpose is an easy target for temptation. We are easily drawn away when we don’t have a purpose we are reaching for. When we are reaching ahead, we have to stop and change directions in order to sin.

    Step Three - Pursuing Your Purpose The final step I want to focus on in overcoming sinful habits is your purpose. Each of our lives has been created by God for a purpose. As long as we are living outside of that purpose, there will be emptiness and a desire to crowd our lives with pleasures and ...read more

    To overcome a porn addiction and lust, Jesus says: Don’t look with the deliberate intention of fantasizing sex. And if you can’t keep from looking, take drastic action to avoid the trap of lust. But above all, depend on Christ to purify your heart.

    Disagreements are normally centered around power and control. Getting our own way with little regard to what is actually best for a majority or a right thing to do.

    The Heart of the matter James 4:1-10 For the past couple of months we have had a sort of strange schedule. We have been in and out of the book of James. While we have been moving through James it is still a topical kind of study. There is an over all flow that I call teaching on “faith that ...read more

    Only God knows what is for our ultimate good.

    Intro: 1. Sailhammer, "The centerpiece of the story is the question of the knowledge of the "good." [God alone determined what was good, 1:10,12, 18, 21,25, 31/ 2:9,12,18].

    Paul commands husbands to love their wives as Christ loved the church. If men are to be the fathers the Lord expects, we must first be the husbands He expects. We can't love our children as we should if our love for our wives is lacking.

    Husbands, love your Wives Ephesians 5:25 As we celebrate Father’s Day, I want to wish each father a happy Father’s Day. I can say without hesitation, that being a father is one of the greatest blessings and joys in my life. I am truly thankful for the two daughters the Lord blessed Tanya and me ...read more
