    “The love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. Some have wandered away from the faith and have impaled themselves with a lot of pain because they made money their goal.”1Tim.6.10 CEB We live in a world where money matters, and some people will do anything for money. It’s amazing how well ...read more

    Sanctification (becoming like Jesus in our attitudes, desires, and actions) is built on the facts of what God has done for you. The starting point of sanctification is your faith in Christ and your focus on Christ.

    Bowing To The Great Idol Of Self

    Contributed by Mark Adams on Jan 13, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,814 views

    The OT has a lot of interesting stories about idolatry, but is that really just a problem of the past? This sermon addresses the very real problem that our culture has in worshiping our own desires above all else.

    To the reader: What inspired this sermon was a quote I read in R.C. Ortlund’s book, When God Comes To Church, p. 194. "Self is the great idol standing at the center of our conceptual world, to which all bow low. We even have a duty-to-self ethic, as if self-denial were harmful, immoral, and ...read more

     | 10,826 views

    The second of two sermons about King Asa, there are some interesting parallels in this about how we can seek after God's desire for us. Pride, fear, etc can take over and we end up not relying on what God wants for us. He desires to strengthen us.

    King Asa, Rely. Last week, I talked about a King of Judah, by the name of? (Asa) Prior to him the nation of Israel had other kings three reasonably onto it Kings, being who? (Kings Saul, David and Solomon). Then came King Solomon’s son ?, (King Rehoboam who as I mentioned last week was a ...read more

    Step Two - The Power To Resist Series

    based on 36 ratings
     | 7,925 views

    Submission to God is the key and reshaping our desires is the result. Then, instead of fighting off what we desire, we are able to pursue our desires.

    Step Two - The Power to Resist Resistance is Futile This may sound odd at first glance, but resistance is not the key to resisting. The Bible gives the key to resisting temptation in James 4: 6 But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: "God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble." 7 ...read more

    How To Live By The Spirit's Leading: The Spirit Vs. The Flesh In Galatians 5-6 Series

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Feb 5, 2024
     | 1,504 views

    If you do allow the Holy Spirit to lead your life, then you naturally won’t want to gratify the desires of the flesh. But, if you allow the flesh to lead your life, then you will naturally begin to gratify the desires of the flesh. Live by the Spirit's leading!

    In II Chronicles 20, we read about King Jehoshaphat of Judah. The Moabites, long-time enemies of Judah, had formed a powerful alliance with the Ammonites and other surrounding nations and marched against Jehoshaphat.

    The enemy forces were encamped at Ein Gedi. The king and his people were filled with alarm, so Jehoshaphat called a fast and began to seek the Lord as did all the people. In his prayer, Jehoshaphat talked about evil coming upon the nation, in the form of the sword, judgment, pestilence, or famine. ...read more

    In the evil shadow of Herod, Shepards were challenged to believe a baby was the messiah, in this evil time we too face the same challenge
