    Contributed by Jerry Shirley on May 18, 2004
    based on 151 ratings
     | 10,038 views

    Whether single or not...it’s all about prevention. A tactful, Biblical handling of this delicate subject of the ’putting away’ of a spouse. Presented w/ compassion, mercy, and yet truth. Link inc. to formatted text, audio, and PowerPoint.

    A Put Away Message Matthew 19:3-9 / Malachi 2:11-16 http://gbcdecatur.org/sermons/PutAway.html This is a topic often ‘put away’ by churches these days because half of their people are divorced. But I believe we should talk about it, and see what Jesus has to say about it...for the same reason. ...read more

    Through the gift of the Holy Spirit, Jesus has provided the church everything we need to accomplish His Will in this world.

    How many of you here this morning have had someone close to you die? (raise hands) I don’t think there is another crisis in life quite like that one.

    Perspectives, Priorities And Personal Choices

    based on 139 ratings
     | 15,369 views

    I used this as a subtle stewardship sermon to get people thinking about how they look at "stuff," what they make as priority in their lives and how their choices affect them, their world and even the church.

    I think there are three things that will determine the way we live and the way that we give: Our perspective – how we not only look at things but how we see them. Our priorities – what we place as of utmost importance in our lives (and, often, in our world). Our personal choices – what we hang to, ...read more
