    Love With A Purpose Series

    Contributed by Jason Powers on May 3, 2003
    based on 47 ratings
     | 11,630 views

    Discovering the purpose of our "personal relationship with our Lord and Savior" by looking at Exodus 3:1-10. God wants to save His people, and He chooses the ordinary things to be His spokesmen.

    “First Love: Love with a Purpose One of the catch phrases of Christianity is the phrase, “personal Lord and Savior.” It’s a good phrase; it implies several things: § It implies that Jesus and God are personal, that they’re intimately concerned with the very smallest details of your life. It ...read more

    I’ve lived in the Washington area long enough now that I know the lingo. I understand what you do when you get caught doing something you are not supposed to do.

     | 2,420 views

    This sermon focuses on the concept of paradox (i.e.,a person or situation exhibiting an apparently contradictory nature) and how Jesus presents a seemly paradox of life using the Greek words Psyche and Zoe.

    If you have your Bibles today and you want to follow along, we are going to be looking at John 12:20-25. Depending on where you get your news, you probably heard last week of a terrible tragedy.

    Contributed by John Gaston on Apr 26, 2024
     | 2,010 views

    Jesus is not some historical person -- He's alive today and relevant to our lives! Thomas, the skeptic, asked for unreasonable proofs of the resurrection, but Jesus proved it beyond all doubt!

    THIS JESUS IS ALIVE! John 20:19-20, 24-31 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: Little Stinkers 1. Ms. Smith was assigned to be a monitor on the playground and caught little Johnny making ugly faces and scaring other kids. 2.

     | 4,592 views

    Jesus Christ is like the perfect photograph of the Father - not just physical likeness but His entire personality and character. As He shines His light on your life - are you photo-sensitive to His character?

    How many of us would use our drivers license photo for a portrait of ourselves? I can’t seem to get a picture of myself that I like - I look at it and say "that just doesn’t represent me very well." Now - in fact the photo is pretty accurate - it is my ideal of what I want to look like that I am ...read more

The first is: Matt. 19:11 – 12 11But Jesus said, “Not everyone is mature enough to live a married life. It requires a certain aptitude and grace. Marriage isn’t for everyone. 12Some, ...read more

    Why Was Jesus Born Into A Family That Was Poor?

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Feb 5, 2018
    based on 1 rating
     | 16,320 views

    Luke's gospel tells us that Mary and Joseph offered the poor person's sacrifice when taking Jesus to the Temple. Why would God have chosen for His Son to be born into a poor family?

    TWO YOUNG PIGEONS: Jesus’ family gave the poor offering. - Luke 2:24. - Leviticus 12:8. - Unless you know the Old Testament background, the mention of dove/pigeon offering is one that we would pass right over. We have no frame of reference on what it means. - When we look back in Leviticus, ...read more

    Contributed by Michael Mccartney on Dec 6, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 12,885 views

    Thesis: To know God’s will for your life comes from you knowing God personally, having an encounter with God like Jacob, Moses and Nehemiah did and then taking step one.

    Series: Rest in Our Scripture for this series - Isa. 40:29-31: "He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.

    based on 15 ratings
     | 7,323 views

    In this personal section of Paul’s letter to the Galatians, Paul first appeals to them, then he fondly remembers their loving acceptance of him, and finally he reminds them of his attitude towards them.

    Scripture We are working our way Sunday by Sunday through the apostle Paul’s letter to the Galatians. One of the advantages of this approach is that we cover the whole counsel of God—at least as it is revealed in this portion of God’s Word to us. By studying books of the Bible, or large sections ...read more

    Correct Connection In Christ

     | 3,973 views

    If taught correctly these verses will encourage our security in Christ! The Believer in Christ ought to be the most secure person with their relationship with God. Sadly, it seems just the opposite. So it’s time that changes!

    Every person has been put on this planet for two reasons, first, to know God and secondly, to show that God in their life! So basically, everything less is just a waist of time! The average Christian doesn’t know the difference between union with Christ and communion with Christ: (verse 5 is ...read more
