    Paul teaches that Spirit-filling plays out in a practical way in our personal relationships, keeping our lives from knocking down the things that are most important instead of building them up.

    Introduction The following game, Marital Dominoes, is an effective way for a husband to cause a negative chain reaction in his wife. The “benefits” of this game then are double. Not only does the husband enjoy his own sins, but he also gets to put up with his wife’s. Everybody loses! The ...read more

    Deadly risk taking is more common then we realize. We may not purposely stare down the barrel of a shotgun. But many Christians behave in a self-defeating way that is equally careless and risky, and deadly.

    Are You Deceiving Yourself? / Part-1 Galatians 6:7 KJV A Example of deadly risk taking In 1982, “ABC Evening News” reported on an unusual work of modern art—a chair affixed to a shotgun. It was to be viewed by sitting in the chair and looking directly into the gun barrel. The gun was loaded and ...read more

     | 10,856 views

    We are called to walk in the steps of Jesus. Sometimes those steps are not easy, but we know that with each step Jesus is by our side and at times reaches down lifts us up and carries us.

    “Pursue A Heart of Compassion and Love” Matthew 9:9-13 John 5:1-9 The call of Jesus to follow Him is not a call to follow him without challenge and adventure.

    based on 17 ratings
     | 5,581 views

    If we want to see faith deliver for us, we must break faith down to see what is involved and how to act on it. In this message, we will examine the substance, hope and security of faith.

    Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Hebrews 11.1 The word “substance” has also been translated as confidence, confident and assurance. It implies the use of a sub-structure or foundation. ILL: The Gate of the Fortress of Purandhar, India was built in ...read more

    based on 5 ratings
     | 3,679 views

    The Kingdom of God is a kingdom of mercy, where the King rides into the capital on a humble donkey, instead of a powerful majestic horse. The Kingdom of God is completely unique… if compared to the kingdoms of this world it is an upside-down kingdom.

    “They Hailed Him as King” Luke 19:28-40 (Year C Palm Sunday) Introduction King Jesus, why did you choose me, a lowly donkey to carry you to ride in your parade? Had you no friend who owned a horse—a royal mount with spirit for a king to ride? Why choose a donkey, small, unassuming beast of burden ...read more
