     | 8,290 views

    As followers of Christ acting naturally will lead to falling and failing. Our old nature tends toward rebellion not obedience. Paul is encouraging us to fuflill our responsiblity and cooperate with God to grow and mature in Christ.

    Intro: There is a story about a little girl who proudly wore a shiny cross on a chain around her neck. One day she was approached by a man who said to her, "Little girl, don't you know that the cross Jesus died on wasn't beautiful like the one you're wearing? It was an ugly, wooden thing."

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,110 views

    We all "know" there’s a God, but how can we come to know him.

    This is a series based on and heavily dependent on Timothy Keller’s Best Seller "The Reason For God" for which I’m deeply grateful. It uses much of his argument though with various additions by myself or the other preachers of the series. I want to suggest that we all “know” there’s a God. Even ...read more

     | 3,968 views

    When we ask Jesus to establish His Kingdom on earth as it is in heaven, are we ready for Him to establish it in our lives. Specifically in the area of loving others, are we ready to forgive and love the way Jesus loves us?

    Opening Illustration (Brett’s story about a gentlemen in MacDonalds) The way we view situations in life, the way we perceive people/events around us- not always accurate. Certain elements affect our judgment and we do not always accurately perceive reality or we make a hasty judgments about people. ...read more

    Our Scripture today also addresses something that each one of us owes. It’s one of what’s known as the four marks of the church. These are essentials to our faith and are characterized by “Grace-Full Living”.

    Wisdom leaves no doubt about the importance and meaning of her call. She comes near to mankind & seeks to win them by her noble & uplifting gifts. May we heed the call & follow heavenly wisdom's guidance.

     | 15,242 views

    We drift away from God when we began to doubt God’s good intentions and believe that we need something more to be happy.

    [I’ve taken some pointers in this sermon from Chapter 5 ’Drifting Away from God’ in Joseph Stowell’s book RADICAL RELIANCE.] You see, God did not hide from us. Man was the first to hide from God. • Man did not seek God. It was God who first sought man out. DRIFTING AWAY Tom cannot swim but ...read more

     | 1,899 views

    The father and son (Tug McGraw and Tim McGraw—- withheld till the end like Paul Harvey’s style) that I speak of this morning are both famous. Though they were separated for many years, it is more than obvious that God’s “purpose” was at work in bringing them together.

    GOD’S PURPOSE Text: Romans 8:28 Our church secretary Paula (at Indian Field UMC) often shares insightful thoughts for the day that come from a daily calendar she has. The one that she shared from May 11, 2018 fits very well with the message for today. It reads… “God’s purpose is greater ...read more
