    Pride is the enemy of every human being ever born; Jesus taught the topic without mentioning the word.

    Gospel Humility Luke 17:1-6 As we saw in Acts, the first generation of preachers, the apostles, were given power over disease, and power over death, and they were sent out with that power to authenticate the message of the gospel of the Kingdom that they brought. As a result, The Church grew in ...read more

    The Aqua Colored Film Of Sin

    based on 51 ratings
     | 14,035 views

    Beloved, see others as Christs sees them. See others and yourself through his eyes. Allow him to remove the aqua colored film of sin and allow yourself and others to shine brightly in the light of the S-O-N.

    I recently read a story about Alan Calhoun of Bristol, Connecticut who spoke about a tag sale ... a garage sale ... that he and wife had several years ago. They had decided to put out a mirror that they had received as a wedding gift. The reason they were selling it .... was that it had a ...read more

    Sermon # 36 - Learning To Forgive Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 20, 2024
     | 558 views

    Jonah was happy to receive God’s forgiveness for his disobedience, but was unhappy when God did the same for the people of Nineveh who repented of their sins. Jesus paid with his life for our forgiveness, and God expects us to extend this same forgiveness to those who wrong us in any way.

    For our meditation we will study Jonah 4:1, “Jonah was very unhappy about this and became angry.” (GNB) When the prophet Jonah preached to the people in the city of Nineveh, they took his words seriously, repented, and had a change of heart. God relented from punishing the people of Nineveh, and ...read more

    “Jesus was indignant. He reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” Immediately the leprosy left him and he was cleansed.”

    I remember growing up there were always students at school who were excluded. Some of them were excluded because they were different, they were handicapped, and others were excluded because they were considered different, were considered “losers” and sat at the “loser table.” What does it feel ...read more

    Be Compassionate To The Fallen Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,120 views

    You cannot lead someone to Christ through criticism, shame or correction. It starts with the kindness of God, as you show forth the compassion and forgiveness of Jesus. “God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance” (Romans 2:4).

    In Romans 2:4, the apostle Paul declared that “God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repentance” (NIV). If showing forth the kindness of God can lead a person to repentance, then on the opposite side, sharing judgment and condemnation will lead an individual to hardening his heart against the ...read more

    God's Plan For Us

    based on 10 ratings
     | 5,465 views

    Is the Christian life a constant challenge to improve and please God, or a soft rocking chair of comfort as we wait for heaven? The truth is somewhere in the middle.

    Sometimes it seems that the Christian community is divided into two different camps. One camp views the Christian life as one of a constant challenge to do better, to try harder, to work to please God. And the other extreme tends to see the Christian life as basking in the warm glow of salvation ...read more

    "Throne Of Judgment; Altar Of Grace"

     | 4,402 views

    God’s holiness reveals man’s sin; His grace forgives. But first the man must come to a stark realization.

    It is the aim of the enemy of our souls and therefore the way of this passing world, to blur the lines. To fade black and darken white until all is gray and diluted and washed out. To render truth a matter of irrelevance and to diminish personal identity until the individual is measured as ...read more

    When would the kiss of a prostitute EVER be acceptable? When it honored the man who forgave her sins.

    Alan Calhoun of Bristol, Connecticut told of a tag sale (garage sale) he and wife had several years ago. They had decided to put out a mirror they’d received as a wedding gift. The reason they were selling it was that it had a gaudy aqua-colored metal frame and they just couldn’t find a room in ...read more
