    Living A Godly Life In An Ungodly World

    Contributed by James Julian on Sep 23, 2004
    based on 7 ratings
     | 4,956 views

    Our decision to live for Christ and mature in Him was never promised to us as an easy job. There will always be things (and people) in life who will try to ruin our testimony or prevent us from "running the race."

    JOHN 8:1-11 LIVING A GODLY LIFE IS TROUBLESOME BECAUSE OF THE WORLD WE LIVE IN (v.1-6) -world will attack your beliefs -world will attack you -because of the world, we need EACH OTHER (event was not about the woman or her sin... the used her to try and trap JESUS LIVING A GODLY ...read more

    No Perfect People

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 13, 2021

     | 9,044 views

    Some people believe that Christians are supposed to be and appear perfect, and that the only ones who can attend church are those who “have it all together.” The church is not a country club for saints, but a hospital for sinners.

    Life is hard, and there are many people who are wounded and hurting inside, who are dealing with personal and emotional issues. This is true not only of unbelievers, but Christians as well; but all too often we come to church wearing a mask and putting on a show. People will ask us how we’re ...read more

    A People Of Grace Series

    God made certain promises to the nation of Israel, which He will fulfill. For even though they've blown it badly, God has promised to see Israel through on the basis of His own integrity and faithfulness.

    ROMANS 11: 1-10 A PEOPLE [REMNANT] OF GRACE The thrust of Romans 9–11 has primarily been Israel's rejecting Christ and rebelling against God, and God's choosing and turning to Gentiles in grace. These themes continue in chapter 11, but God's sovereign choice also involves His restoring ...read more

    Praying People

    Effective people are praying people.

    In a recent morning devotional, I read Daniel 9 and focused on his prayer for my prayer in verses 1-19. He read Jeremiah’s prediction of the seventy-year captivity and calculated that the time was near for the Jews to return home. He prayed earnestly with fasting, sackcloth, and ashes. Let’s make ...read more

    The Love Of Money

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Sep 24, 2016
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,649 views

    The pursuit of money or all the things it can buy is a problem. It shows that we are putting our faith, our sense of security and our hope for the future in material goods. Instead, we need to put our hope in God.

    How many of you have heard of the American Dream? It’s not a dream that is limited to the United States. In fact, it’s a worldwide phenomenon. It is the desire to pursue prosperity, success and upward social mobility. While it is not wrong to be successful in life, the pursuit of the ...read more

     | 11,650 views

    Have you ever found yourself caught in the middle of a really difficult situation? You didn’t ask to be there, but there you are stuck in the middle. How will you handle it? Pray for wisdom! That's what we see in Abigail.

    Abigail – Anyone know someone named Abigail or Abby/ie? Guessing that you probably do. That is a name that has remained relatively popular throughout the years – even reaching the 6th most popular baby’s name in the year 2006. Yes, there are quite a few Abigail’s or Abby’s around. But I wonder ...read more

    Message 4 of 5 on John 5 & 6. Let’s talk about Jesus today… Let’s see him today the way he described himself. Jesus said, “I am the bread that gives life.”

    There is something about bread and its ability to satisfy you. It’s not just a full belly! It’s that sense of security and comfort that comes from the smell of warm bread and the fullness of the soul. There is something about a piece of warm bread that satisfies the heart of a person. Maybe ...read more

    "Fishing For People"

     | 7,467 views

    Why do people not follow?

    "Fishing for People" Mark 1:14-20 Do we make it seem too easy? Do we not give enough explanation? Or perhaps, do people have an inkling of how difficult it is, and therefore make the decision to either "put it off," ignore it, or say "No. I refuse to believe it," when in reality the refusing ...read more

    The time of this church period, SMYRNA, was from about 100-350 A.D. Of the 7 messages to the 7 churches, this one, the message to Smyrna, is the shortest, only 4 verses. This church of Smyrna and also the 6th church, Philadelphia, are the only 2 churches

    REV.#5(SMYRNA) ~2:8-11 5-16-09 Today we’ll continue our study of the Book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ, this is our 5th study. Last time we talked about the 1st Church of the 7 that the Lord tells us of in Chapters 2 & 3, we talked about the Church of Ephesus, the ...read more

    Message 12 in a series through James that helps us explore the relationship between faith and works in our lives. James was the half-brother of Jesus and the leader of the church in Jerusalem.

    There is a phrase we often use in our culture – we saved the best for last. I don’t know if the last part of James 5 is the BEST section because it is hard to measure that quantifiably. But one I can say for certain is that it is no doubt one of the most debated sections of the book of James and ...read more

    Too often God’s design for victorious living is replaced with fear, depression and anxiety. What can be done about it?

    My preparation took some interesting twists and turns – where I started on Tuesday morning is not where I ended up last night! I feel drawn to today’s subject and couldn’t seem to get around it. I trust this as God’s leading and proceed accordingly. Whoever you are this is for you from God ...read more

    "If My People..." 2 Chronicles 7:12-15 2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

    Like a prosecuting attorney, God levels accusations against the nation of Israel.
