    The greatest virtue in the world is love. Without love, man cannot have abundant life. In actuality, without love man is nothing. Paul knew this. This is why he went before God and prayed that the Thessalonian church and its believers might grow in love,

    Biblical Text: 1 Thes. 3:9-13 (KJV) “For what thanks can we render to God again for you, for all the joy wherewith we joy for your sakes before our God; Night and day praying exceedingly that we might see your face, and might perfect that which is lacking in your faith?

    Are You A Revolutionary Part 4

    Contributed by Greg Carr on Sep 18, 2006
    based on 3 ratings
     | 1,833 views

    The seven passions of a Revolutionary are defined for us in the book of Acts. These Scriptures are important to us because they describe the very nature of the life of the early church as it began to form immediately after Jesus returned to heaven.

    Are you a Revolutionary? Are you transforming your entire life to emulate that of Jesus Christ’s? Are you transforming your entire perspective to emulate that of Jesus Christ’s? Your spiritual practices? Your attitude? Your character? Your faith? Your relationships? Your behavior? God wants to do ...read more

     | 7,821 views

    First in a series on the early church from Acts 1-4. This message deals with how to wait on God.

    Note: Although my outline is very similar to a great sermon by Medford Foskey on this same passage, I only read his sermon after completing most of the work on mine. However I did "steal" his opening story. “It is a sin to be good if God has called us to be great.” That is the first line from ...read more

    For many years now, the foundation of our society has been torn apart and it is time for a generation to stand up and shout out for the destruction to stop and for the foundations to be rebuilt.

    I was so pumped up today to see 26 people from our church and our youth group at See You at the Pole. AWESOME! You are a group of people that has the ability to do some really positive things for your school and for your community. In order for you to live up to that potential you need to be ...read more

    The blooms of the fig tree always appear before the leaves in spring. When Jesus saw leaves on a fig tree, he expected the fruit.

    Let me begin by saying something about Jesus cursing the fig tree. You will also find this story in Matthew 21: 18 and 19. This tree was a fruit-producing plant which could be either a tall tree or a low-spreading shrub. The size of the tree depended on its location and soil. The fruit of the ...read more

    A look at why Abel’s sacrifice was better than Cain’s.

    In 1944, Hallmark adopted the slogan “When you care enough to send the very best.” Adam lay with his wife Eve, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Cain. She said, "With the help of the LORD I have brought forth a man." Later she gave birth to his brother Abel. Now Abel kept flocks, and Cain ...read more
