     | 10,035 views

    Christians often try to find acceptance and recognition by building towers for the world to admire instead of finding acceptance and love in Jesus Christ.

    INTRODUCTION When I was in ninth grade, I vividly remember getting my first report card back. I slowly worked my eyes down the paper. A, A, A, and A. I had got a 4.0 Grade Point Average!

On e of these which I remember from my schooldays is Charles Dickens’ story of the French Revolution, "A Tale of Two Cities". It concerned a family caught up in those ...read more

    I. Making a name We see in the first chapters of Genesis that people basically chose one of two paths. A few of them humbled themselves and followed God, trusting in him and his protection. Such were the descendents of Seth. The other group was principally the descendents of Cain. These ...read more

    When towers fall, pride is always involved. "I" is in the middle of pride and sin, but the cross of Christ is "I" crossed out. This sermon shows what pride does to us, God’s reaction to pride, and five steps to avoid pride.

    INTRO For thousands of years, man has continually tried to proudly pat himself on the back for his knowledge and acheivements.
