     | 25,190 views

    Peter’s character flaw was "I can do all things." Until he knew to place his life totally in Christ’s hands, he was the embodiment of the Peter Principle.

    OPEN: I recently heard a radio announcer tell about a man who went through a drive up at a KFC restaurant. He ordered about $6 worth of food and then pulled up to give his money to the teller. He handed her a $200 bill. It had President George Bush’s picture on the front and on the back was a ...read more

    Loving others is to put them first or before yourself.

    HOW TO STOP LOOKING OUT FOR NUMBER ONE I CORINTHIANS 13:4 It never ceases to amaze me the popularity of tabloid magazines, talk shows, gossip columnists and celebrity magazines. It seems to me that our society is obsessed with needing to know dirt on people who are famous. Time after time, our ...read more

    Of all of the modern English deffinitions of the word occupy, we each choose the one that we wish. Let us look at the meaning of the word according to Jesus

    In the Gospel of Luke the Lord uses a parable to teach us a lesson concerning what is expected of His servants while He is away in a far country making preparation to receive His kingdom. Although we have studied this passage many times, the Holy Ghost has recently shown a light on one little word ...read more

    Paul makes a special plea to his friend Philemon concerning his run-away slave but now a Christian, showing how the gospel transforms all relationships.

    THE TRANSFORMING GOSPEL Letter writing is almost a lost art. We’d rather pick up the phone or dash off an e-mail but I’m glad that Paul used pen and ink. Doubtless Paul, being a man of letters and bubbling over with ideas for the spread of the gospel, must have written many ...read more

    Many people fear discipleship but it is the primary command of the ’Great Commission’. This study looks at how we all fit into this calling.

    Three Principles of Discipleship (Part 2) 2. Teaching The next step in discipleship is teaching.

    7 Ways To Serve One Another Series

    based on 59 ratings
     | 23,525 views

    So how do we rightly relate to one another in our small groups? I have found there is no reason to "reinvent the wheel" in responding to this question. Dietrich Bonhoeffer, in his classic work, Life Together, explains 7 ways to serve your small group.

    Last week, I used an illustration to show that Jesus should be the center of our small group meetings. He is the real leader of the small group. He is alive. He comes to us in the person of the Holy Spirit. And he is Lord. But lying underneath this goal of our gathering is the reality that we ...read more

    Why do we need to recover? Because we have lost our biblical way of thinking and have not put something better in its place.

    HOW THEN SHALL WE RECOVER OUR BIBLICAL MIND By Jerry Falwell INTRODUCTION My good friend, Francis Schaeffer wrote a challenging book How Then Shall We Live? which challenged us to ground our daily living in the Word of God.

    Peter says we are a royal priesthood. What does that mean for the average church goer? (this sermon had great effect to prompt members to greater involvement in the church.)

    OPENING: On the overhead projection we put up a cartoon showing a crazed man being led away from a church in a straightjacket. On the steps of the church building the preacher comments to another man “I’m going to miss Louis - he volunteered for everything.” COMMENT: As funny as that cartoon is, ...read more
