    Sharing Your Money Series

    Contributed by Rick Duncan on Aug 24, 2005
    based on 49 ratings
     | 12,025 views

    I used to think that teaching what God says about giving threaten people. But I’m finding that when people start applying these truths, it’s really not threatening, but thrilling. It’s not a drudgery; it’s a delight.

    Maybe you’ve put something in the basket and then wondered, “What did I just do. I want to go get it back!” For sure, we’re glad that a camera is not fixed on us when we give. We’re even more glad that no one can read our thoughts when we give. Giving. When I teach in a clear, direct, pointed ...read more

    A Humble Beginning

    In this passage, we see God’s providence working in at least 3 ways… 1. The TIMING of His birth 2. The PLACE of His birth and 3. The NATURE of His birth…

    A Humble Beginning Series: Beginnings of a Legacy December 20, 2009 As I was re-reading the story of Jesus’ birth, (for the billionth time)… I was amazed at how no matter how many times I read it, God always has something new to show me, that I’ve never seen before! This time as ...read more

    If you’re struggling with the urges of your flesh, or you find yourself consumed by anger and hatred toward others, then you need to get rid of those old clothes so you can put on those new Christlike thoughts and actions. But you can’t get rid of those g

    INTRODUCTION I’ve never been very interested in clothes because I’m color blind. I discovered I was color blind in the first grade when I was using crayons to color a horse in a coloring book. As you know, crayons are labeled on the paper, but this particular crayon didn’t have ...read more

    Have we as the Church become the older brother? Do we refuse to join the party, pointing to our service, sacrifices and sinlessness?

    Who Lost His Head?

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Dec 18, 2008
    based on 9 ratings
     | 6,898 views

    When we lose our ways emotionally or spiritually, we hurt ourselves and others. Herod, Herodias and Salome demonstrate the ways we can be seduced into losing our heads. John only lost his physical head but not his integrity.

    Do you know the poem, "If’, by Rudyard Kipling? I’m sure you’ve heard it a hundred times. But let me quote just a part of "If’. "If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you; if you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, but make allowance for their ...read more

    In this sermon we learn how Joseph was able to resist the challenging temptation he faced from Potiphar's wife.

    Introduction: A. Let me begin by asking you: “What is it that is most tempting to you?” 1. I think it is funny to watch cats stare at a fish bowl or a bird cage – it is so representative of temptation’s attraction. 2. When I was a kid we had cats and they would sit and ...read more

    Real Reconciliation Series

     | 7,624 views

    If we want real reconciliation and healing in our broken relationships, then we must confess our own sins to one another; we must forgive those who sinned against us; but none of that is possible until we truly believe that God is in control.

    Stewart Ruch, a pastor in Wheaton, Illinois, talks about the “huge gap” between the ideal and the real in our everyday lives, using a family outing as an example. You see, every fall his family likes to go apple picking. Now, for the Ruch family, the ideal day for apple picking is ...read more

    Have you ever wanted something so badly from God that you were willing to not let Him go until you got it?

    If you could go back and get an accurate count, how many decisions do you think you made last year? If the truth were to be known, the number would probably be in the tens or even hundreds of thousands, wouldn’t it? Now, exactly what is a decision?

    Here’s a typical scenario for you at Narita Airport. Let’s say John and Chihoko are flying to JFK. I’m the purser or the head steward.
