    based on 1 rating
     | 4,214 views

    Work is given to us by God, is done in vain apart from Him, and can be a means of worship--because God calls us to trust Him so that we do not find ourselves eating the bread of "anxious toil."

    The reality of work Just imagine—it’s the end of a morning or afternoon or evening of hard work, and you’re very, very tired. But you look around your house, and the floors are swept and clean, the dishes are done, the laundry folded and put away, and even the bathroom fixtures are sparkling; and ...read more

    What Jesus did and does in regard to the devil, blasphemy and sin.

    INTRO.- This title sounds like a pretty serious subject and it is! Life is serious stuff. Life is both serious and scary. In just a few weeks’ time we’ve had four school shootings in the US. If that isn’t serious I don’t know what is! Oct. 2, 2006: A gunman killed at least five people, ...read more

    How many of you are fighting a battle against things or circumstances that appear to be invincible?

    I would like to begin today with a question. How many of you think that the more you try, the less territory you gain?

    Appearances can be deceiving, let’s be very careful that we may not be deceiving ourselves.

    I would like to begin today’s service with a joke. On a dark night, in a small town, the industrial chemical plant caught fire. Not too much time went by before the place exploded with great flames, and the firemen arrived to extinguish the blaze. After watching the fireman fight what appeared ...read more

     | 3,820 views

    Understand the nature of the temptations Satan throws before you, fight them with God’s word and seek forgiveness from Jesus when you fail, knowing that he understands what it’s like to be tempted.

    Do you ever wonder whether these temptations of Jesus were a fair test. After all, he was the Son of God, so Satan was out of his league really, wasn’t he? It wasn’t like you or me being tempted. I mean Satan hardly has to lift a finger and we give in. But then we’re a lot weaker than Jesus. But ...read more

    Man has played "Hide and Seek" with God since the Garden of Eden, but God has a different game He wants us to play. Do you know what it is?

When he was about 1 year old he was sitting with me in the living room and had watched me put his blanket over my head and play "peek a boo." Then with a sly grin he put the ...read more

    We are called out to the wilderness, back to our relationship with Jesus before all the distractions of the world came upon us. Starts with a concise understanding of authorship and biblical authority.
