    How The Church Must Live According To The Gospel Series

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Aug 7, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,746 views

    We’re to please God, not ourselves and we’re to love one another; to seek their welfare above our own. The Christian life is always one of growth, of ongoing training, as we press on towards the goal of eternal life.

    I think Christians often struggle with knowing how to respond to the pressures we feel to lower our standards of behaviour. And there are two extremes that we come across among Christians. One extreme thinks we should forget those old fashioned mores and get with the times: after all, this is a new ...read more

    Your Blessed Place Pt. 2 Series

    Contributed by Mark Baker on Sep 16, 2008
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,839 views

    In fulfilling our purpose we not only fulfill the plan for ourselves, but also contribute to the greater plan God has called us to complete within the body of Christ as a whole. This takes the obedience of a body with a shared vision, but it starts with t

    In the first part of this study we were discussing how we are called for a purpose and how our gifts will be used to edify one another. We all have gifts and they should be used in conjunction with other gifts within the body to fulfill the plan and purpose of God within that local body. In ...read more

    Hindrances Affecting Our Understanding And Application Of God's Word

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Mar 5, 2008
    based on 7 ratings
     | 4,327 views

    We often are hearers of the Word and not doers. We learn and teach God’s Word more than obeying it ourselves. John 13: 17 says, “If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.”

    Introduction: In the books of Genesis and John we find that God has given us His Word – the truth and wants us to follow our freedom in Him from the evil one. There are 5 hindrances which affect our understanding and application of God’s Word:- 1. Tendency to make Christian doctrine an end in ...read more

    Mercy In The Midst Of Madness

    Contributed by Donnie Martin on Sep 13, 2007
    based on 8 ratings
     | 13,611 views

    Just like stubborn and rebellious Israel of old, we do not deserve God’s grace and mercy. But in spite of ourselves, God is always ready to extend His mercy to us; especially in the midst of life’s increasing madness.

    Mercy In The Midst Of Madness Text: Ps.61: 3-4; Ps.103: 2, 4-5; Isa.41: 13 Intro: Last night, as I bowed my head in prayer to God, I began to share with the Lord the burdens that were weighing heavily upon my heart. It was not long before hot tears began to flow down my face, as I poured out ...read more

    Let's Turn The World Over To Mothers

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Nov 15, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,133 views

    Dated 1988. Part dialogue, part conversation, between the preacher and his wife. Pain is caused by absenting ourselves from those against whom we have a grievance. Mothers understand compassion and challenge the rest of us to reconcile.

    It is very appropriate that Margaret join me in bringing the message today… appropriate not only because she is a mother, but also because today’s message was inspired by both of our mothers … both hers and mine. Several years ago my mother was sitting in her living room reading the newspaper with ...read more

     | 4,384 views

    Today’s Scripture is God’s Word to churches to be focused on building up the church to be mature and healthy! The Scriptures are directly telling us to focus on ourselves. Give attention to the church body and do what is necessary to make it healthier.

    Date: July 12th, 2009 Bible Text: Ephesians 4:7-16 Subject: Complement: Main Idea: Intro: Imagine for a moment going to the doctor and after a battery of tests she comes out and tells you, “Look, you need to stop doing all the things you’re doing!” Your volunteer work in the community, your ...read more

    Forgiveness

     | 6,085 views

    When we learn what to avoid, when we forgive, We will not only set others free, but we will also set ourselves free, And then we can have the abundant life that Christ promised, both now and forever

    2 weeks ago I said God loves us, • And because of that we can love ourselves, • And in turn we can love others. But in order for us to love others, we need to be able to Forgive others. • Because everyone of us has already been forgiven through Jesus. • When He became our sacrifice . . He paid ...read more

    Knowledge (Not Opinion)

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jun 6, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,330 views

    Some of us handle truth by simply asserting ourselves forcefully. Paul's way was to root truth in revelation rather than logic; to find authentic confidence in personal experience; and to submit himself to transformation. First Baptist Church of Gaithers

    If there’s one thing I have a strong opinion about, it is that I do not like people with strong opinions! I have a hard time with the person who declares what he thinks with absolute hard-core certainty, riding roughshod over any contrary thoughts I might have. I struggle with that. I have ...read more

    Sin

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Jul 17, 2007
    based on 24 ratings
     | 13,683 views

    There is an old saying that says, “A loving God wouldn’t send anyone to hell.” That is a true statement. But what we forget is that God does not send us to hell - - we send ourselves. Audio will be at www.sermonlist.com

    As humans, we tend to take the truth of God and wrap it around what we are comfortable with, thereby ending up with a comfortable untruth. There was a little boy explaining things to his younger sister. He said, “Jesus’ job was to die for us because we sin. Our job is to sin to make His death ...read more

    If we put Jesus first, then others, and then ourselves, we will be able to spend time at his feet, learning his Word in our lives. Otherwise, we become like Martha in today’s Gospel passage: busy, but not blessed.

    I have done a lot of thinking about the problem of how to evaluate your own success in the ministry. We can say that we shouldn’t compare ourselves to others. That’s true, but we do it anyway.

     | 8,547 views

    We are a part of this world's injustice and brokenness, and need to repent, for we have too often attempted nothing or have given ourselves to pointless activity. "Only what you do for Christ will last" and that is guaranteed by His risen life.

    There are just too many things that are not the way they ought to be, and I don’t like it! Are you with me? There are too many things going on that should not be going on, and when I hear about them or experience them, it disturbs me. I don’t like the brokenness I see in this ...read more

    Sermon 11 in the series (Ezra 6) We must refresh ourselves on the background of this chapter. You will remember that in 4:1-5, the locals began the opposition to temple construction. They first tried to cause the children of Israel to compromise. Remember
