    Christians have been caught up in an attitude of don’t tell me what to do. What does the Word of God say about that view.

    Quite often, we hear individuals espousing libertarian philosophies of unbridled personal freedom.

    I am giving up Lent for Lent this year, at least the way the Church typically does Lent. Lord is not interested in what I give up for just 40 days and return to it. He is interested in me giving up the sins in my life which will make Easter more joyous

    TITLE: GIVING UP LENT FOR LENT SCRIPTURE: ST LUKE 9:22-24 / II CORINTHIANS 13:5-6 Although Easter is the most significant of the Christian holidays it does not enjoy the kind of enthusiastic fanfare afforded Christmas or even Thanksgiving.

     | 2,015 views

    Let's talk about tithing! In my view, tithing is very important. God gives us Jesus, he gives us life, he transforms us, and makes us new in Jesus. He sends His Holy Spirit to live in us and make us holy.

    Continuing in our series we look at how our offering is so much more than what we put in the plate - it is how we live.

    Intro: What-chu-gaht! The dangerous life of comparisons. How do you shop? For me I’d rather go to the appropriate store for the appropriate item - I prefer BJ’s or Sam’s Club for meat because I can get it cheaper in bulk have the butchers cut it up and package it so that I can freeze it when I ...read more

    In the same way God supplied the needs of the Philippian Church, he promises to do so for local Churches today and for each one of us personally as His individual children.

    My God Shall Supply All Your Needs --Philippians 4:15-19 Memorizing Scripture has been a meaningful spiritual discipline for me. One of the first Scriptures that I memorized was the promise Paul shares with us in our text this morning, Philippians 4:19, and I want to quote it from the New King ...read more

    Fill Your Horn With Oil & Go!

    Contributed by John Gaston on Oct 3, 2018
     | 20,549 views

    The oil is often the missing ingredient in spiritual ministry. We can’t be on the cutting edge of the Spirit without filling our horns with oil. The oil is symbolic of the anointing, unction, power, presence of the Spirit.

    FILL YOUR HORN WITH OIL & GO! 1 Sam. 16:1 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Mr. and Mrs. Brown had two sons. One was named Mind Your Own Business & the other was named Trouble. 2.

    Giving With Grace Series

    Contributed by Brian Bill on Apr 24, 2003
    based on 38 ratings
     | 13,980 views

    God not only required a tithe in the Old Testament, He challenged His people to respond to Him when He says, “Test me in this.” This is the only time in the Bible when God tells us to test Him.

    Giving With Grace That drama really captures the different attitudes that people have about giving. Some feel pressured or guilty, while others of us find a lot of joy when we give ­ if we remember to bring our wallets! That reminds me of a man and his son who went to church together. On their ...read more

    As we honor our mothers it’s respectable for us to think about how much they really do for us. And let me just throw this in from the start, being a mother is not an easy task. It is said that when a child has reaches the age of 18, a mother has put in about 18,000 hours of child-generated work, so ...read more
