    Some people like to complain about everything. The Bible warns us, the believers, not to complain/grumble. Why? This sermon gives four reasons why complaining/grumbling is a serious sin.

    Illustration: A man walked into a hardware store and asked for a chain saw advertised to cut six trees in an hour. He came back the next day fussing and complaining, "This chainsaw is defective. It would only cut 1 tree and it took ALL DAY!" The salesman said, "Let me look at ...read more

    Old Testament prophecies build our faith that Jesus is really God's anointed. We look at prophecies which give us the where, when and who of Jesus' birth.

    Today we’re starting our Christmas series of talks. I’ve given the series the title ‘NOT YOUR USUAL KING’. After Jesus was born, magi – astrologers – came from the east to Jerusalem and asked, ‘Where is he who has been born KING OF THE JEWS?’ [Matthew 2:2]. After the magi found Jesus, ‘they fell ...read more

    We have all done our share of boasting. We generally start this bad habit of boasting when we are a child.

    Illus: Three boys are in the school yard bragging of how great their fathers are. • The first one says: "My father runs the fastest. He can fire an arrow and start to run, and he gets to the target before the arrow." • The second one says: "Ha! You think that's fast! My father ...read more

     | 914 views

    One of the problems in the political arena is that we have politicians that are more loyal to their party than they are to their constituents.

    They are more interested in trying to make us all Republicans or all Democrats than they are in trying to help the people that put them into office. President Bill Clinton seemed to be the exception to this rule, he seemed to have other interests. Illus: The story is told that Hillary Clinton ...read more

    Acts Of The Apostles (17 Of 39)

     | 1,671 views

    Paul wrote to young Timothy and said, “…that thou...war a good warfare.”

    Illus: It is obvious, from much of Paul’s writings, that he thought of the Christian life as a warfare. He spoke of Christians as soldiers, in training, discipline, and even in having weapons. In the Book of Acts, we can see so clearly that Christians are soldiers. In one chapter we read ...read more

    Again, I want to remind you that God gave us the ten commandments to tell us what HE LIKES, and what HE DISLIKES.

    This is important, because it would not be fair for God to hold us responsible on the judgment day, if we did not KNOW WHAT IS and WHAT IS NOT acceptable unto him. Illus: That would be like going down a highway without any speed limit signs, and the highway patrolman pulling you over, and giving ...read more

    The tribe of Judah ("praise") always led the people of God into battle, etc. We look at Judah's mother to see how "praise" was conceived. Then we look at the 5 sons of Praise (Judah) and see the amazing offspring we will get when we praise God!

    PRAISE LEADS US IN INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A farmer went into his banker and announced that he had bad news and good news. "First, the bad news..." 2. "Well," said the farmer, "I can’t make my mortgage payments. And that crop loan I’ve taken out for the past 10 years ...read more

    Years ago a newspaper reporter asked then Governor of Arkansas, William Jefferson Clinton, who was seeking to get the nomination of the democratic party to be the next candidate for president of the United States,

    “Sir, it has been stated that you have had many adulterous relationships, is this true, or not true?” Mr. Clinton, with anger in his voice for being asked such a question, looked that reporter in the eye and said, “If it was true, I would not tell you!” And he walked away from the reporter.
