    The Benefits Of Restraint

    Contributed by Paul Fritz on Aug 12, 2005
    based on 11 ratings
     | 4,203 views

    Fourteen benefits of Spirit led restraint in our speech. Many problems could be avoided if we learn how to restrain our lips using discretion, tract and Spirit-led self-control. Prevention is better than any cure.

    The Benefits of Restraint (James 1:19-21) Solomon wrote, "Where there are many words, trangressions are unavoidable but he who restrains his lips is wise." James wrote, "Let everyone be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger." (James 1:19) Preventive Tactics Things you should never ...read more

    based on 41 ratings
     | 9,401 views

    Scripture has much to say about judging others. Should we refuse to decline to make any assessment of others since non of us is perfect? What does scripture say?

    Iliff and Saltillo UM Churches July 17, 2005 “What About Judging Others?” Matthew 7:1-12 James 4:11, 12 INTRODUCTION: In today’s scripture when Jesus said “judge not” was He wanting his disciples to close their eyes to all evil and error? Did he intend that managers forgo critical ...read more

    The Bible provides helpful, relevant guidelines for today’s fathers.

    A BIBLICAL VIEW OF FATHERHOOD SCRIPTURE TEXT: Ephesians 6:1-4; Colossians 3:20-21 Fatherhood is not doing well in our modern society. Consider these facts from a man who wrote a book on the subject in 1995 entitled Fatherless America. Here is some of what he said: 1. Tonight, 40% of all ...read more

    Growth Through Suffering

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Apr 9, 2001
    based on 174 ratings
     | 16,462 views

    God often teaches us through suffering. Why? Because in good times, we have a tendency to forget God. But adversity helps focus us on what is most important.

    You may be familiar with a story that’s been in the news recently [Bobby Knight allegedly choking one of his players]. My purpose this morning is not to take a position on whether or not he should be fired. What interests me is how some of the very people that this man supposedly abused are ...read more

    Two-Ply Christian Leadership Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Jan 28, 2008
     | 3,354 views

    Like God Himself, good Christian leadership means leading in two different manners; leaders must have two sides.

    Two-Ply Christian Leadership (2 Thessalonians 3:4-12) 1. Christian leadership is a fascinating study. But it is often paralleled by leadership principles in other realms: "You Attract the People Your System Invites It’s no secret that healthy environments attract healthy people. Healthy people ...read more

    We are God’s Temple in more than one sense, we do what took place at the Temple, and we are participating in building God’s Temple.

    We Are the Temple Part Two in the Temples of the Holy Spirit series (topical) 1. The WWII generation was a special generation, sometimes called "builders." 2. This is the generation that built or purchased our facilities. 3. It began in early 1949, 1954, 1956. 4. After all the sacrifices, ...read more

     | 15,490 views

    This sermon is the second in a series of ten on Motivational Spiritual Gifts which communicates the characteristics of the Gift of Prophecy in order to allow the Holy Spirit opportunity to reveal this gift to those who have it.

    Last week I introduced this subject area of spiritual gifts by sharing the “Categories of Gifts.” Based on 1 Corinthians 12.4-7 I shared that there are Motivational Gifts, Ministry Gifts and Manifestation Gifts. Every Christian, every believer, every born again child of God is given a spiritual ...read more

    Fishing In Galilee

    What can we learn from the fishing expedition?

    Jn 21:1-19 Introduction As I mentioned on Easter Sunday, John records only four of the Post Resurrection appearances of Jesus. I think his reason for doing so is that the aim of his book is to awaken faith – and not to be JUST a historical record of the times of Jesus. This does not mean that ...read more

     | 6,284 views

    Gen Y are getting married. A wedding talk from a worldview perspective.

    Let’s paint a BROAD PICTURE of Generation Y. The fountain of all internet knowledge, WIKIPEDIA, says that Generation Y were born in the mid-1980s through to the early 1990s. Gen Y are the OFFSPRING of the post-World War 2 baby-boomers. They were WEANED on instant communication technologies such as ...read more

    based on 7 ratings
     | 5,561 views

    God requires church leaders to correct those whose teaching does not align with the gospel.

    Scripture Introduction It seems that many congregations will tolerate unbiblical preaching as long as the pastor is not rude or mean or sharp with them. Most pastors lose their jobs pretty quickly if they cannot figure out how to preach nicely to the church. So our passage this morning shocks ...read more
