    Who Is Better?

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Aug 29, 2011
     | 6,329 views

    It is human nature to compare ourselves to one another. We do it all of the time very naturally and almost without noticing it. That's what was happening in Corinth and it was giving the Corinthians a false impression about who to trust.

    There is an old saying “appearances can be deceiving.” Or: “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” In the case of the Corinthians, those sayings apply very well. They fell into a trap that many of us fall prey to, using human senses to judge spiritual realities. In this ...read more

    HoHum: Isn't this a beautiful apple? The skin is so red and shiny. Just look how smooth it is. It has a beautiful shape and I don't see any spots that look like the bugs or worms have eaten into it. Yes, this is a really good apple.

    Finding More Faith In The Face Of Life’s Storms

    Why was Jesus so sharp in His rebuke of the disciples when they woke Him and told Him about the storm?

    ISN'T THAT A LITTLE HARSH? Why does Jesus rebuke the disciples for what seems a pretty reasonable request? - Matthew 8:25. - Why are the disciples chastised for what seems a pretty reasonable response? Wasn’t fear a reasonable response? - Most of us would look at that situation and say, ...read more

    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

    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.

    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.

    Don't Look Back?? Series

     | 10,648 views

    This message is the fifth in a series that deals with some of the difficult sayings of Jesus. This message looks at Jesus' warning in regard to looking back.

    At first glance Jesus sounds very harsh as He addresses someone that sincerely wanted to follow Him. What’s wrong with wanting to tell His family goodbye? In 1978 the Little River Band wrote a song that describes a great tendency that many of us have. Listen to these few lines from this song. ...read more

    Nice Preaching Series

    Contributed by Glenn Durham on Nov 2, 2010
    based on 7 ratings
     | 5,654 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
