     | 6,654 views

    This sermon is a contrast between God's goals for the believer and the church and Satan's goals for individuals. God wants to make us like Christ, Satan wants to slowly destroy us.

    The Two Goals of the Church: 1) Reach people for Christ. 2) Grow people in Christ. Biblical basis: Matthew 28:18-20 (called the Great Commission) God's goal for You: To work in all things for our good in order to conform us to the image of his Son, Jesus Christ, Biblical basis: Romans ...read more

    The Case Of The People Of Israel Vs. God

    We have a choice. We can live in the grasp of sin and evil, or we can give our hearts over to Jesus. He gave everything He had, including his life, to rescue us from sin, so it’s only fair that we give Him everything we have, including our lives.

    How many of you have even been in court because of a lawsuit? If so, then the passage from Micah 6:1-8 sounds very familiar. This passage resembles a lawsuit that is being heard in court.

    Our personal preferences do not hold the same weight as Biblical truths.

    GUIDANCE Genesis 24:1-27 INTRODUCTION Christian people are often keen to know the leading of God in their lives. But how are we to know what God’s will is? We may find the answer to this important question when we look at Abraham’s servant in Genesis 24. First, though, what do we know about ...read more

    Sometime in life we make a big deal out of small things. Ant hills are small and isolated, moles tear up and entire yard with tunnels underground and cause massive damage. Sometimes we need to sit back and ask ourselves , is this a big deal?

    The Ant , The Mole Hill During the Civil War, General Robert E. Lee had a shortage of soldiers. His army could be devastated if the Union army discovered this weakness. Since he could not increase the number of soldiers, he decided he could make his army look larger than it actually was. ...read more

    Manipulation By Guilt Vs. Straightforward Requests Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Sep 26, 2016
     | 5,812 views

    Manipulation is a dishonest method to control others, get our way, or make others think an idea was theirs; it stands in contrast to making honest straightforward requests. Manipulation by guilt is perhaps the most common form of manipulation.

    Manipulation by Guilt Vs. Straightforward Requests (topical) 1. A lot of persuasion — even in church — can be based upon emotion and a lack of logic. “Pastor Smith was winding up his sermon about the dangers of alcohol and the need for temperance. He shouted, 'If I had all the ...read more

    A Shorter List; 30 Vs 2 Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,389 views

    In Romans 12:9-21, Paul gives us an overwhelming list of 30 encouragments. However, they can be slimmed down to just two overarching themes: self-sacrificial love and overcome evil with good. We also see how these things point us to Jesus.

    Our text from Romans this morning is quite challenging. Paul writes to encourage God’s people to live in their in the calling, but his words are overwhelming to us. “Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil. Hold fast to what is good. Love one another…be fervent in spirit…rejoice in hope, be ...read more
