    God hates evil and has every right to be angry with our sin, this sermon shows what God wants to do rather than punish that sin.

    “God’s Gracious Anger” Romans 1:18-32 Introduction Can you imagine what it would be like for the Apostle Paul to go on one of those daytime smut talk shows?

    We can use our tongues to do evil, discourage, discredit or we can use our tongues to do good, encourage, uplift, love!

    A Heart Condition Gossiper or Encourager? Do you remember an Olympic skier by the name of Picabo Street. Picabo [pronounced “peek-a-boo”] She is, or was the well-known Olympic gold medalist in the Super G a few years ago. But, she is more than a famous skier. ...read more

    Love Your Government Neighbor Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jun 14, 2009
     | 3,095 views

    As Christians many believe government is an evil that should be avoided or opposed. Paul encourages us to be a redemptive force for the gospel by actually getting along with governmental authorities.

    As we get into chapter 13, let’s sum up where we’ve been. Chapter 12 marks a big change in Romans—going from the theological to the practical—how do we live out what we’ve learned about God and us and God’s plan? Chapter 12 could be summed up like this: “The only reasonable thing to do in response ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,344 views

    In a culture where the lines of right and wrong, good and evil have become blurred, how and who determines what is the standard for what is true and what is false?

    Have you ever noticed how criticism can be a way of life? In fact, we might say that it is the democratic way of life and an integral part of our society. We have music critics, art critics, drama critics and movies critics. Politicians, athletes, teachers and preachers are critiqued. We critique ...read more

    Demonic Wisdom Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Aug 23, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 12,613 views

    Many churches operate with demonic wisdom rather than with heavenly wisdom. James confronts us, calling us to recognise the evil that can destroy us.

    JAMES 3:13-16 DEMONIC WISDOM “If you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth. This is not the wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder ...read more

    Cretans still live. Liars and evil brutes still walk among us. Who are they, and how can I protect myself against them?

    OPEN: A 3 year old boy went with his father to see a litter of kittens. On returning home, he breathlessly informed his mother, "There were two boy kittens and two girl kittens." "How did you know that?" his mother asked. "Daddy picked them up and looked underneath," he replied. "I think it’s ...read more

    The Answer To Religion Series

    Contributed by Brad Bailey on Oct 20, 2010
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,271 views

    Whenever religion is infused with independence, power, and control it becomes ultimate evil, but when it leads into the way of submission, sacrifice, and service it bears the ultimate goodness of God.

    Much argument today is made about whether religion is helpful or harmful for society. Of course much of the discussion hinges on what we mean by religion. It‟s a topic that many of us could really go off on. But if I had to sum up what I see it would be this: whenever religion is infused ...read more

    based on 5 ratings
     | 4,185 views

    Christians today have both a negative and a positive role in society. The negative role is to restrain evil. The positive role is to spread the Gospel and do good works.

    1. The first purpose God has for the church today is preservation 2. The second purpose God has for the church today is propagation MATTHEW 5:13-16 I’ve got a book at home called Seven Men Who Rule the World from the Grave. Some of the names might not ring a bell.

    When The Walls Come Tumblin' Down

     | 10,850 views

    Jesus anger wasn’t about selling things; it was about the evil vendors preying upon the innocent. When barriers go up relationship is broken.

    John 2:13-22 When the Tables Come Tumbling Down I would hazard a guess that when most of us think of Jesus, we picture the soft spoken, peace loving, gentle as a lamb, Savior. Always smiling, always patient, always kind. There is no doubt that Christ had a side of Him ...read more

    When Joseph finally met his brothers again, he was able to say that, what THEY had meant for evil, God had meant for good.

    GOD SENT ME HERE. Genesis 45:1-15. The Old Testament Joseph is very much a Type of Christ. Favoured by his father (cf.
