    We need to doers of the word and not hearers to be blessed and used by God

    BE ALL THAT YOU CAN BE James 1:19-27 First I want to thank you all for being here. I thought you would find these messages too convicting and quit coming. Even Simone finds them convicting because she was meowing at me yesterday when I was writing this out. Then she went back to licking herself. ...read more

    Shadows

     | 21,531 views

    Symbolically, a person’s shadow is the symbol of their influence. The shadow of a man is often larger and more far reaching than the man himself. The most potent form of influence is not only silent but also for the most part, unaware -- Just as we are

    Thermometer Or Thermostat: Which Are You?

    Contributed by John Gaston on Mar 9, 2022
     | 5,486 views

    A thermometer tells how hot or cold something or someone is. It doesn’t try to change its environment. A thermostat, on the other hand, alters the temperature. Christians should be thermostats, changing their neighborhoods, families, work, etc.

    THERMOMETER OR THERMOSTAT: WHICH ARE YOU? Mt. 5:16 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A Pastor told one of his faithful church members, “Mrs. Smith, I appreciate your devotion. You are present at all the services!” 2. Mrs. Smith: “Yes, it’s such a relief, at the end of a long, hard week, to come to ...read more

    Explore the purpose and power of God over the "thorns" or challenges in our lives.

    Good morning, family! Today, we'll be diving deep into 2 Corinthians 12:7. We're going to explore the reality of a thorn in our flesh, the purpose of it, and most importantly, the power of God over that thorn. You know, Charles Spurgeon once said, "Trials teach us what we are; they dig up the soil ...read more

    Word Of God Is Living

    Contributed by Brian Buriff on Jun 14, 2006
    based on 9 ratings
     | 4,934 views

    Preaching is not the task of “making” scripture come alive; rather it’s “drawing out the life” that’s already in it.

    INTRODUCTION A. Look Closely At Hebrews 4:12-13 “For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. And there is no creature ...read more

    This message examines the basis for how we make moral decisions.

    The postmodern worldview has plunged our culture into an authority crisis. This crisis is not confined to the area of religious faith but is visible in every single area of life.

    Paul centres his message on the historic Jesus, arguing from Scripture that he’s the Messiah. He persuades people by careful argument, opening the Scriptures to allow people to discover the truth for themselves. And he works as a leader of a team, includi

    It’s interesting that we think of Paul as someone who stands out on his own. He’s the great apostle to the Gentiles, a man who stands head and shoulders above the rest. Yet in reality he was a man who loved to work as part of a team. He started out with Barnabas, then joined up with Silas, then he ...read more

    Your alignment with God’s word will determine where you stand (sit, and walk) on any issue. Advice from Scripture is better than advice from anybody else.

    Like a Tree Psalm 1 Why do some people have all the luck? I understand that luck is a fabricated force that many people use to explain how apparently random forces fall one way instead of another. I’m not saying that luck exists. I am simply pointing out that many people, us included, sometimes ...read more

    A message concerning how the church can have an impact for Christ in an area.

    What’s a Body Good For? Various Scriptures (May 27, 2001) Introduction We’ve all heard the phrase, “good for nothing.” Some of us have been called that. It is never a compliment, is it?

    Israel’s "Shema" is not only an exhortation for Jews to make God’s teaching an integral part of their lives, but it serves as a good reminder for Christians to internalize the Word as opposed to merely using it for "adornment."

    I think I lasted three practices with the freshman high school basketball team. What good is a 4’ 10” guard with limited vertical leap, so-so jump shot skills, and only a slightly above-average ability to steal the ball? But I well remember those three practices. We would change into gym clothes ...read more
