    Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Oct 20, 2004
    based on 8 ratings
     | 8,115 views

    Where does God work to transform us into the likeness of Christ?

    The Apostle Paul wrote the second letter to the Corinthians for the purpose of defending his apostleship. It seems that there was a group of false teachers in Corinth who were seeking a following among the people. In the effort to get others to follow them, they used the tactic of denouncing and ...read more

    Spiritual Sleepiness: Shallowing Theology And The Church Growth Movement Series

    Contributed by Dr. Bradford Reaves on Jul 16, 2025
     | 197 views

    We live in an age where worship teams rival pop bands, and the Sunday sermon has been carefully distilled into a 28-minute TED Talk with a side of Scripture. But beneath the gloss of production and the metrics lurks a growing hollowness.

    Where does God do the work of making us more like Jesus?

    Last week we began our consideration of the disciple’s heart and the process of spiritual growth, whereby we become more like Jesus. We made the point that the first step required is that I allow Christ to touch my heart. The reason this is necessary is that all of us are naturally born under the ...read more

    Being prepared for our battle against Satan.

    (Announce Text) BACKGROUND: The book of Ephesians was written by the Apostle Paul sometime around A.D. 63 while Paul was a prisoner in Rome. The letters of Philippians, Colossians, and Philemon were also penned by Paul during this period. The theme of Ephesians is “the glorious church” and its ...read more

    How Does Personal Spiritual Growth Connect To The Church? Series

     | 1,867 views

    Paul closes out his second letter to the Corinthians with a plea from his heart for their spiritual growth. Why do we today so seldom see that at a practical level in our churches?

    - I should note as we begin that v. 8 is a difficult verse. Its meaning is not clear. It’s not essential to grasp that verse in order to be able to understand the larger point that Paul is making, so we’re just going to lay it aside this evening. There’s not any benefit tonight in spending a ...read more

    Let us make every effort to add to our faith moral excellence.

    Have we ever said these words? “I know my life doesn’t look like a Christian’s life should look, but I do believe in God.”[1] People who say those words are what Pastor Craig Groeschel called Christian atheists or “people [who] believe in God but live as if he ...read more

     | 15,402 views

    The title of this message is “How to lose a guy in ten days". Unfortunately, most churches usually lose them in about 10 minutes. Let’s explore why that happens.

    How To Lose A Guy In Ten Days Matthew 28:18-20 True story – Football team getting killed – guy fumbles and it rolls over by a teammate. The guy that fumbles yells, “pick it up” to which his teammate responds, “You pick it up. You dropped it.” Well, I’ll tell you what, God is looking for some ...read more

    Holy Habits #5: Godliness Series

    Contributed by John Dobbs on Jul 18, 2025
     | 289 views

    Godliness. Any light that we shine into this dark world is not our own. It is a reflection of the Son. That is a good working definition of godliness - shining the light of God’s love into a dark world.

    HOLY HABIT #5   GODLINESS Introduction The moon tonight (July 20, 2025) is at the phase known as Waning Crescent. Only 21.3% of the moon is visible. The last full moon was July 10th. During this phase, over the next five days, the moon will be virtually invisible to the naked ...read more

    James Clear: “The seed of every habit is a single, tiny decision. But as that decision is repeated, a habit sprouts and grows stronger. Roots entrench themselves and branches grow.”

    So many churches out there today desire to change the world, the only problem is that they do not desire to change themselves first. In order to change the fruit of the ministry you must first check your roots!
