    Daniel 4: Overcoming Pride Series

    Contributed by Vic Folkert on Sep 3, 2020
     | 6,859 views

    Self-focused pride 1) causes anxiety, 2) leads to a fall, 3) can be redeemed through God-focused humility. We can humble ourselves by 1) recognizing God as sovereign, 2) crediting God for our abilities, and 3) directing our gifts to the good of others.

    PUTTING PRIDE IN ITS PLACE—Daniel 4 PRIDE. One of the “Seven Deadly Sins,” along with greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony, and sloth. But is it always bad? There is a kind of healthy pride, which values one’s abilities, celebrates achievement, and motivates positive behavior. Paul refers to ...read more

    Heaven Is A World Of Love Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 4, 2021
     | 3,529 views

    Whenever Christians are full of envy and strife, it obscures the evidence of heaven. The clouds of hatred darken the evidence of Heaven’s love for us.

    Let a man do whatever religious thing he wishes, it means nothing without love. Love is the greatest of God’s gifts. Love is deeper than emotions. Love is the God-given proof that you are Christ’s disciples (John 13:35). This is a message about the future but it is also a map for the present. Since ...read more

    We are to lay aside anything in our life that hinders our course of running this race for our Lord, of living a life pleasing to Him. Knowing that He is all we need Who can fill every void in our life.

    Godliness Over Gain

    You want a deeper walk with Jesus? That will mean persecution, not prosperity. It may mean sacrifice of health to walk in holiness. Remember, He was rejected and crucified. Apostles often lived in jail or the open field, not mansions.

    Matthew 5:11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you,and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
