    Humility

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Dec 29, 2000
    based on 105 ratings
     | 17,469 views

    Humility is beyond a shadow of a doubt the most significant element of walking in divine favor. It is directly opposed to pride. Where pride seeks selfish gain, humility seeks selfless gain. True humility is to esteem another more greatly than yourself.

    To humble oneself before God in repentance is mandatory for all Christians.The sin of pride is at the root of all evil. Self-exaltation and rebellion is what caused satan to be "cut down to the ground." At one time, satan was called Lucifer, which means "son of the morning." He ...read more

    You just can’t get by on borrowed faith. In order to please God we need a personal faith... but how do we attain that? The story of Naaman has some interesting insights.

    OPEN: Two engineers applied for one job at a computer company. They had identical qualifications, so to determine which one to hire, the firm gave them a test. Each did well, except they both missed the same question. The manager called the first candidate, explained the results of the test and ...read more

    Sometimes people seem to know your sensitivity to a topic or issue and can and will take advantage of it in order to get you to pop your button. Do you know anyone like this? Maybe you are good at getting someone else to pop their buttons.

    Buttons and Zippers James Chapter 3 James 1:26 If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not keep a tight rein on his tongue, he deceives himself and his religion is worthless.

    The Pharisees: Stuck In Correctness Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jun 30, 2009
    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,990 views

    It is easier to be smug than satisfied, to be correct than compassionate, to be religious than real. What we need to do is to cry, "Lord forgive my sin."

    The surest formula for unhappiness is have to be right, all of the time. If you are expected to be one hundred percent correct, never making a mistake, no blunders allowed, then you are asking for a serious heart attack, for high blood pressure, and for plain old unhappiness. It’s an awesome burden ...read more

    A classic sermon by D. L. Moody on the importance of developing and maintaining constant communion with God.

    THE very first thing that happened after the news reached heaven of the fall of man, was that God came straight down to seek out the lost one. As He walks through the garden in the cool of the day, you can hear Him calling "Adam! Adam! Where art thou?" It was the voice of grace, of mercy, and of ...read more

    What determines things in life? Chance, fate, karma? Who determines things in life? Me, others, Satan? God is the great Determinator.

    THE DETERMINATOR INTRODUCTION: What actually determines things in life? Is it just luck? Is it karma? Is it Fate? Does everything happen simply by chance or coincidence?

    This message speaks of how the familiarity, pride & unbelief of Nazareth placed limitations upon the work of God, and can do the same with us.

    There’s No Place Like Home! Text: Mark 6:1-6 Introduction: Up to now in our studies of Mark we have largely witnessed the growth of Jesus’ popularity.

    Of Grace And Envy

    Contributed by Greg Nance on Oct 17, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,114 views

    How is the Kingdom of heaven to be understood in light of laboring for Christ while the world enjoys the pleasures of sin? The parable of Jesus in Matthew 20 is helpful here.

    Matthew 20:1-16 Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard Jesus introduces this parable saying that the kingdom of heaven is like this. That's an impressive, if not disturbing introduction to this particular parable for many reasons. I believe that the kingdom of heaven in Matthew's gospel applies ...read more

    At the Temple were two men, two prayers, and two faiths. One trusted in himself and his righteousness. He went home dead in his sin. The other humbly confessed his sin and believed in salvation outside himself. He went home justified by God’s grace.

    Intro At the Temple were two men, two prayers, and two faiths. The first man was a Pharisee. He’s the good guy. He’s respected. He’s forgotten more about the Scriptures than most of us can remember. He’s an example of how to live an upstanding life. Do as he says and ...read more
