     | 27,006 views

    A sermon dealing with a Godly vision; what it is, how to obtain it, and how to use it. Sermon text, audio, and communion meditation will be placed at www.sermonlist.com

    Vision is a funny thing. Some people have it; some people don’t have it; and some people just think they have it. And those who think they have it always seem to try and run the show for everyone else. I am reminded of a story I heard about an elders meeting at the church one evening. There ...read more

    “Rom 18 – 32. “The heart of the problem” Nothing keeps a person away from Christ more than the unwillingness to see their need and to admit to it: As Jesus put it, “Its not the healthy who need a doctor but the sick.

    based on 19 ratings
     | 7,549 views

    Like everything ordained by God, He intends testing and trials for our good. But Satan twists God’s good tests into temptation. His desire is for us to fail God’s good tests by succumbing to the temptation he brings from them.

    based on 26 ratings
     | 14,977 views

    Just as Israel had a skewed picture of God, sometimes we do too. Instead of seeing God in His fullness, we only pick out certain attributes to focus on like His love and mercy. Do we see God as He is, or made Him into somthing He isn’t?

If you don’t see Him as He’s revealed Himself, He will show Himself to you as Judge (8-10) b. If you see ...read more
