    Growing In Grace

    based on 19 ratings
     | 25,603 views

    This sermon seeks to encourage persons to get off the performance treadmill to experience growth in grace and Christian maturity through an intimate relationship with Christ.

    Most of us have been educated in the “school of performance.” In fact, Shakespeare once said, “All the world’s a stage and all the men and women merely players.” From the very beginning of our lives we’re taught that we must perform properly in order to get what we want. There’s a direct ...read more

    The Spirit-Filled Walk: What It Is And Isn't

    Contributed by Bruce Willis on Jan 3, 2007
    based on 14 ratings
     | 6,141 views

    This is a sermon on the Spirit-Filled walk from The Exchanged Life perspective that exhorts the believer in such a way that consistency will be your experience in the believer’s walk.

    I shared with you this morning about the Spirit-Filled life in that it’s an abundant and fruitful life. The last principle had to do with the process of being filled. However, I must hasten to add that trying to reduce life in the Spirit to a formula is like trying to capture the wind. It’s a ...read more

    need of God’s Spirit to overcome the weakness of the flesh.

    Intro: the more I read the Word of God, the more I realize how totally dependent we are on the Spirit of God to help us gain victory in our lives. Nowhere is this more clearly seen as it is explained in Galatians 5:16-26. Your physical, carnal man produces things, God’s Spirit in you produces ...read more

    Salmo 119:1-2 Hay un dicho muy conocido por nosotros los hispanos “ Primero lo Primero “ , y tiene sentido que le demos importancia a aquello que es lo mas importante para nosotros , mi pregunta es que es lo mas importante?

    What Star Are You Following?

    based on 1 rating
     | 6,545 views

    Jesus is the "star" of Scripture and he is to be the star of our life. Is it he we are following or a star of our own making?

    “What’s in the stars for you?” Perhaps you remember seeing this huge front-page horoscope in the Edmonton Journal a few days ago. It may seem laughable to us that anyone would live his or her life by the “dictates of the stars” but the fact that the newspaper paid for the information and then gave ...read more

In one of the greatest lines ever, when asked what he wanted from baseball by his girlfriend, he said, I wanted people when they saw me to say, there goes ...read more

    the church is built as an open door to the lost, not an ark to preserve the saints

    Intro: the other day Roger Lashley had a revelation from God. God spoke to him with these words, My church is not an ark. He relayed this to me, so I went to the book of Genesis and studied Noah and the ark. I tried to look at the difference between the ark and community. Here are four thoughts on ...read more

    The effect of our words can lead to a good outcome or to a disasterous one. We can learn to overcome negativity and change our self talk so that we receive a fruitful harvest.

    The Power of Words “Death and life are in the power of the tongue and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.” Proverbs 18:21 INTRODUCTION: "Sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me.” How many agree with that statement? How many disagree? How ...read more
