    Inner Desire Series

    Contributed by Kevin Ruffcorn on Jul 29, 2014
     | 3,683 views

    Coveting—our envy of another’s possessions and blessings has the potential to destroy our relationship with God and with others. A life of thankfulness and gratitude is commanded instead of coveting.

    Exodus 20:17 “Inner Desires” INTRODUCTION One of the most popular arguments to persuade parents is, “But mom, dad, everyone’s doing it.” How did this work for you when you were young? This is the excuse that we use when confronted by the ninth and tenth ...read more

    Sometimes we wonder if our lives really matter. Paul defines a life worth living in this intro to his letter to the Colossians. He reminds us of what truly matters to God.

    Colossians 1:9-14 A Life Worth Living Do you ever wonder if your life has amounted to much? Do you ever rehearse a lifetime of regrets, and wish you had one big do-over, to go back and live life differently? What kind of life should we live if we really want a life worth living?

     | 465 views

    In a world that thrives on lies, we believe in a God of truth who admonishes us to think on things that are true and to implement these in our lives. Only with the Lord Jesus is there true forgiveness for our sins, reconciliation and acceptance.

    We read in Philippians 4:8, “Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.” (ESV) God has graciously gifted to ...read more

     | 7,734 views

    Excessive personal debt is taking a huge toll. The Bible neither expressly forbids nor condones the borrowing of money. Instead it teaches that it is usually not a good idea to go into debt. Debt takes away our freedom and makes us a slave to our debt
