    What Is Our Ambition?

    Contributed by Charles Mallory on Apr 25, 2005
    based on 18 ratings
     | 5,164 views

    No one wants to fail. But if our ambition to succeed becomes motivated by the fear of failure, ambition can become an idol in our lives and in our church.

    IT IS SAFE TO SAY THAT NOBODY WANTS TO DELIBERATELY FAIL AT ANYTHING. THE INTERESTING THING ABOUT "FAILING" IS THE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THE BASICS OF FAILURE ITSELF. THE GREATEST NEWS ABOUT FAILURE IS THAT FAILURE IN AND OF ITSELF IS NEVER FINAL. YOU CAN LEARN GREAT LESSONS FROM FAILURE IF YOU ARE ...read more

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Jun 8, 2019
    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,424 views

    The danger of intellectual pursuit without an intimate experiential knowledge of God is that the heart can be come cold and brittle like a stone, making knowledge an idol.

    I remember as a young Born-Again Christian, just starting my spiritual journey that I would walk in and through the presence of God effortlessly. I lived and breathed the supernatural. Signs and Wonders were everywhere! The anointing was powerful! Then I went to Bible School and was told those ...read more

     | 42 views

    This sermon calls us to identify and renounce generational idols, embracing wholehearted devotion to God so that His freedom and love transform our families.

    Friends, every family has a box in the attic—old photos, faded letters, a quilt stitched by steady hands. Alongside those treasures come other hand-me-downs we don’t frame or display: patterns, pressures, and quiet preferences that keep tugging at our hearts. Maybe your household treasured hard ...read more

    Idolatry has been the threat to the people of God from earliest days. God calls us to destroy the idols of the heart and worship Him, the True and Living God.

    “Their idols are like scarecrows in a cucumber field, and they cannot speak; they have to be carried, for they cannot walk. Do not be afraid of them, for they cannot do evil, neither is it in them to do good.” [1] Churches in the western world are pathetic caricatures of the once ...read more

    Since earthly governments are an extension of God’s authority in the lives of mankind we are call upon to submit to them.

    A government surveyor brought his surveying equipment to a farm to do some work for the state and county by which he was employed.

    based on 10 ratings
     | 18,295 views

    This sermon is a Mother’s Day message which speaks of the qualities of God that we find in our earthly mothers.

    I’m sure you’ve heard many sermons on the fatherhood of God. Many more, I suspect than on the motherhood of God. Yet we all know that God is neither a male nor a female. The apostle John tells us that God is Spirit. God is a spiritual being, neither he nor she. Therefore, I feel it’s just as ...read more
