    Relationships are very difficult with the pressure of today’s incredible pace of life. Jesus’ command is that we keep our relationships honest and loving.

    Seeking Clear Hearts December 26, 2004 would like to invite you to look at the chart which was handed out. It is rather simple, but helps us all understand how God would have us treat each other when disagreements arise. Please note, I did not say “if” disagreements arise, but “when”. In ...read more

    King Solomon gathered his sons to give them life-giving advice. What did he tell them and how can we use that same advice today? Consider these thoughts from our Family Minister Scott Jewell.

    Read Passage. Pray. I’m part of a group of preachers who meet weekly for lunch, to discuss life, and to plan sermons.

    Blessed Are The Pure In Heart

    Contributed by Bishop Prof. Julius Soyinka on Mar 10, 2016
    based on 3 ratings
     | 10,146 views

    For the Christian, purity ought to be more precious than life, for without purity we can never really have life. If we are going to enjoy the blessings of God in this life and in the one to come, possessing a pure heart is not an optional quality.

    BLESSED ARE THE PURE IN HEART Study Text: Matthew 5: 8 Introduction: - The heart is used metaphorically to signify the inner person – the heart is the control centre of a man’s mind, emotions and will. It is our invisible innermost being which shapes our lives, attitudes, convictions, ...read more

    Overcoming sin in my life is more a matter of heart work than hard work

    This morning we’ll wrap up our sermon series on the hard sayings of Jesus. Obviously in 8 weeks we haven’t covered all the hard things Jesus said, but I think we have looked at enough of what Jesus said to get a pretty good feel for why much of what He taught was so hard to understand ...read more

    Because God has made us righteous in Christ, He expects us to live righteously or with right behavior. Such behavior is the outward manifestation of the inward transformation, & the only sure proof that such inner transformation has taken place.

    Matters of the Heart Series COLOSSIANS 3: 12-17 “A HEART FULL OF GRACE” In our text the Bible describes what God expects of the believer in response to what He has done for us by His Amazing Grace. Because God has made us righteous in Christ, He expects us to live righteously or with right ...read more

    On the day that we stand and give an account of ourselves, our hearts will reveal whether we were true blue or not.

    THE HEART TELLS NO LIES! TEXT Jer 17:9-10 9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it ? 10 I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings. KJV Jer 17:9-10 9 ...read more

    At the heart of thanks is God’s grace encapsulated in a right understanding of ourselves in relation to God; humility.

    “At The Heart of Thanks” I Chronicles 16:24-36 Introduction There was once a man who set out to have a well dug in his own house that he might draw water from it whenever he wished to drink.

    The Blessing Of A Hungry Heart Series

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Oct 16, 2007
     | 4,733 views

    The only fulfilment in life is to hunger and thirst for God and the things of God. Nothing else in this world can bring true happiness and lasting blessings.

    The purpose of the Sermon on the Mount is to inform God’s disciples of the qualities they are to possess and display to a watching world. So far we’ve come to see that a blessed Christian is someone who is: “Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” • Blessed are ...read more

    Blessed Are The Pure In Heart Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,140 views

    God is concerned with the condition of our heart. We are to seek purity of heart in two ways: (1) be right, and (2) be true. Our words and deeds must be in sync with our heart.

    Noticed Jesus did not say “Blessed are the pure…” which is correct too. • But He said, “Blessed are the pure IN HEART.” The emphasis is right. • Man concerns the outward – we want to look good, to make an impression. • We need to place more emphasis on what is unseen – the attitudes of our ...read more

    The classic painting and the familiar verse can teach us much about an intimate relationship with Christ. Our verse offers Christ’s solution to a church that has everything except what matters.

    Dr. Roger W. Thomas, Preaching Minister First Christian Church, Vandalia, MO Christ at Heart’s Door Revelation 3:20 (Projection of the classic painting illustrates the message.) Here I am!

    A Mouth And Heart Matter

    Contributed by Jerry Flury on Nov 11, 2011
    based on 8 ratings
     | 6,198 views

    Jesus Christ taught that the path to heaven was very narrow and very few find it as many misguidedly choose to travel wrong paths. The bottom line is that salvation is a matter of the mouth and heart.

    A Mouth and Heart Matter Romans 10:1-13 The Philippian jailer asked in Acts 16, “What must I do to be saved?” Another way of asking this question is, “How do I get to go to heaven?” When people are asked this question a myriad of answers pour forth. Jesus Christ taught that ...read more

    Your Heart's Desire

     | 9,904 views

    Having the desire of our hearts rightly aligned with God is critical, for God will eventual grant it; if we have prepared our hearts through constant training to receive God, we have a heavenly reward, but it we have prepared it to reject God,our payment

    You know when you ask—nay, beg—God to do something or give something to you… Have you ever the request denied, and found out that what God refused, what you desired so badly, ultimately would have been harmful to you? Not everything we desire is wholly aligned with God’s ...read more

    This text focuses on the epistle lesson for the sixth Sunday of Easter (ILCW series A). Peter reminds us how powerful the Resurrection is in our own lives.

    Introduction: The human heart is a hard-working marvel. It can keep on beating automatically even if all other nerves were severed. In a 70 year lifetime, it will beat an average of 75 times a minute, forty million times a year - or two-and-a-half billion times. At each beat, the average adult ...read more
