    Take to Heart God’s Frustration 1) Over those who are careless 2) Over those who care less

    Three years ago the ABC reality show “Extreme Makeover” and local volunteers demolished an old home in Lake City, Georgia just outside of Atlanta. In six days they replaced it with a mini-mansion while its owners were having fun at Disneyland. When Milton and Patricia Harper returned from Mickey’s ...read more

    Saving Faith: A Matter Of The Heart Series

    Contributed by David Dykes on Oct 30, 2014
     | 14,594 views

    Calling on the Lord has never saved anybody, but calling on the name of the Lord, always saves. How can you do that? How can you have that kind of faith? I’ve noticed there are at least three different types of faith I think everybody possesses.

    INTRODUCTION We have come now to what I believe to be the clearest instructions in all the Bible that tell a person how they can be saved. How they can get from Texas to heaven. You may see in the bulletin there a little outline, you might want to follow along and fill it in. I’m convinced ...read more

    A Pure Heart To Serve The Lord

     | 23,455 views

    Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. In a society that embraces sin, how do we keep clean?

    Additional Recommended Scripture Reading: Psalm 51 We live in a generation today that embraces sin all over the place. Writers of most television shows don’t present a message pleasing to the Lord, instead they write about violence, gratuitous sex, gossip, and hate. You can turn to any ...read more

    How many of us examine our lives that closely on a daily basis? (This sermon can be used for Ash Wednesday or in general).

    THE NEED TO REND OUR HEARTS Text: Joel 2:1-2, 2 12-18 In his biography, Benjamin Franklin, reveals a lot about the kind of person he was. He would often look at his individual progress of each day. Someone (Raymond McHenry?) has observed Ben Franklin’s method specifically. ...read more

     | 18,875 views

    The real problem that we face in this world today is a problem in the hearts of the people of God.

    If I told you there are many problems in this world, I wouldn't be telling you anything that you don't already know. You can categorize the problems anyway you wish, but when it comes right down to the lowest common denominator, and if we are willing to accept the Bible, it is a problem of God's ...read more

    We all made promises to God. I will do this or that. We have boasted and bragged and let the Lord down. Jesus is forgiving to our failings and restores us to the work of the church.

    WHEN GOD RESTORES THE BROKEN HEART The highly watched television show “Lost” is presented in the same manner as the character Peter in the Gospel of John. The show “Lost” portrays a story surrounding the events of the island that the people are lost on. As the show unfolds, there are ...read more

    God seeks not our money but our hearts—surrendered lives whose joyful generosity springs from grace, proving that sanctification transforms every part of us.

    Proverbs 23:26 > “My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways.” That single verse is a tender invitation. God doesn’t demand—He asks. He reaches out His hand and says, “Give Me your heart.” Not your résumé, not your reputation, not your records of what you’ve given ...read more

    Sick Religion And Healed Hearts

     | 18,715 views

    Religion is sick when it is system-only, salvation-only, or self-only. Christ gives us instead a relationship with Himself, a model of life, and an embracing compassion.

    Religion is either one of life’s greatest blessings, or it is one of the sickest things we do. Religion can be wonderful. I assume that because you are in church today you agree with that. Religion can be fulfilling, it can be instructive, it can be inspiring. Religion has driven so much of ...read more
