    Getting Jesus For Christmas Series

    Contributed by Mark Haines on Dec 22, 2006
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,653 views

    The truth that we receive or reject Jesus in every choice we make must replace the idea that receiving him as Lord and Savior in a one-time event (i.e. baptism, church membership or sinner’s prayer).

    This idea of peace is not found just once, but several times in Scripture. Peace comes through thanksgiving. Peace comes through knowing our identity in Christ. And peace comes through following our God-given purpose.

How do I get peace in my life? 1) http://www.innerself.com/Spirituality/inner_peace.htm Prema Baba Swamji says, to find peace by doing several things.

    Mary And Joseph And The Case For Marriage

    Contributed by Jeffery Russell on Dec 3, 2003
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,324 views

    THis message will help us to think critically about marriage- why marriage is to be between one woman and one man, for a lifetime. As society’s definitions change, the Christian idea of marriage needs to be more definite than ever.

    “Mary and Joseph and the Case for Marriage” Matthew 1:18-25 One of my favorite radio programs, when I get the chance to listen to it, is the Prairie Home Companion, In one episode Garrison Keillor tells the fanciful tale of John Tollefson. John leaves Minnesota, moves to New ...read more

    Luke 6:31 Recognized as one of the most significant ideas, not only in all Scripture but in moral philosophy as well – termed the “golden rule.” See how the golden rule has changed today.

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Dec 18, 2009
    based on 18 ratings
     | 4,848 views

    What’s the big deal with marrying unbelievers? Well, don’t be too quick in thinking it is not a big deal! The Bible addresses the idea of separation of believers all the way through. Genesis 6 seems to introduce the topic.

    Genesis 6 - Part 4 - What’s so bad about believers marrying unbelievers? In this passage we see mutations such as giantism. We see great evil on the face of the earth. Perhaps these big guys were even worshiped as gods (I think we have established that they weren’t aliens earlier on). I suggested ...read more

    Part 2 of series Every Thought Captive. Dave looks at the lie that spiritual experience is just a head-job and teaches that this idea springs from 1) the elusive nature of spiritual things and 2) a personal agent of evil.

    A Success Story

    Contributed by Alberto Valenzuela on Oct 11, 2006
    based on 5 ratings
     | 10,806 views

    Society hammers into our brains the idea that success is to be measured with goods. The media claims that he who dies with the most toys wins. And we all want not only the best but the latest toys. We all want to win.

    A Success Story All humans, men and women, fall in three categories, in relationship to being successful. Those who are successful, those who aren’t successful and those who are on their way to being successful. If we were to subdivide them even further we could mention those who are on their way ...read more

    Will we ever discover true contentment? we can if we replace an attitude of coveting to an attitude of contentment. Main ideas for this message came from James MacDonald’s Book, Lord Change my Attitude.

     | 5,381 views

    One misleading notion that has stopped the spiritual growth of countless Christians is the idea of salvation is a termination point rather than a starting point. It is almost as though some people, when they are saved, look back on that experience and sa

    Love That Doesn't Fail Series

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Jun 26, 2014
     | 6,236 views

    This is why Jesus made a sacrifice for you and me. Because he really loves us. A love that doesn't fail is a love that sacrifices. The world has no idea what this real love is, because the world is selfish.

    According to John those who say they love God show it by obeying the Word of God. There were those who were false teachers during John's day who claimed that they were apostles, too, just like John. There were others who claimed that Jesus wasn't really human, he didn't really suffer and die as a ...read more

    The chief religions of Paul’s time included Gnosticism, stressing gnosis as essential to salvation, viewing matter as evil, and combining ideas derived from mythology, ancient Greek philosophy, ancient religions, and, eventually, Christianity.
