It's All About Religion (Part 15 ) Series

Contributed by Denis O'callaghan Ph.d. ,th.d., D.d., D. Phil. on Sep 22, 2012

We are looking at what Jesus "really meant" and in doing so I hope that at this point you have come to at least consider that what you were taught about Christ Jesus, His claims, attitudes, actions warrant a reasoned second look.

Part 15 It’s All about "religion" I was walking across a bridge one day, and I saw a man standing on the edge, about to jump off. So I ran over and said 'Stop! don't do it!' 'Why shouldn't I?' he said. I said, 'Well, there's so much to live for!' He said, 'Like what?' I said, 'Well...are ...read more

The Gift From Hell

Contributed by Ed Warfield on Mar 4, 2008

How do we get rid of a critical attitude toward others? God commands us to love each other. Which means, I can "will" to love you, and you in turn can "will" to love me. This is our Christian responsibility

The Gift from Hell Intro.: A critical spirit will show itself against those we are closest to. The danger of a critical spirit is that it spreads to others, and the criticism does not have to be warranted. I don’t care how spiritual we think we are, we may battle a critical spirit all of our life. ...read more

Live A Godly Life . . . Why Should I?

Contributed by Tony Klinedinst on Mar 9, 2009

This is the 10th sermon in a series through 1 John. It deals with the attitude "I am saved by grace, why should I go through the trouble of living the Christian life?" We live a godly life because of God’s love for us.

why should I love a Godly life? Though many of us would come right out and ask this question, I am sure many of us have spent considerable time wondering. In case you haven’t heard, living a God-honoring life isn’t easy. God is constantly calling us to step out of our comfort zone and enter into ...read more

Language Of Edification Series

Contributed by Arthur Miller on Mar 24, 2014

The tongue is a destructive force that can spew the stench of a rotten heart, but we are called to speak only what is constructive to others. We need to be thinking about our words and changing our attitudes about people while God transforms our lives.

Mystery Babylon, The Rise Of The Papacy And Anti-Semitism Series

Contributed by Bob Faulkner on Jul 10, 2015

Slowly, ever so slowly, the papacy emerges. Attitudes change. The church looks strangely different. When she lashes out at the Jews who were her first members, and her Savior, we know things have evolved the wrong way...

Happy Are The Spiritual Beggars Series

Contributed by Sean Harder on Jan 21, 2011

Today we enter a famous section of the Bible commonly known as Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount. This particular beginning section is known as the “beatitudes” from the Latin word for “blessed”. I think it also means beautiful attitudes.

Sowing & Reaping Series

Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Nov 12, 2009

The creation precept built into the very fabric of all creation, both physical & spiritual, is that a person reaps after the same manner & nature that they sow. Every thought, attitude or action has its own reproductive cycle. You reap what you sow.

GALATIANS 6: 6-8 SOWING AND REAPING The principle of reciprocity is certainly being taught here. Though the initial thought is that their ministers should have a material return for what they spiritually sow in the life of the believers the principle extends beyond that arena. The creation ...read more

Be Grateful Series

Contributed by Godday Osoba on Aug 2, 2023

Although we know that we should cultivate an attitude of Gratitude to God and to Man, the problem is that we are more inclined to grumble and complain, while there may be ten things for which we be Grateful for, we tend to focus on the one thing that irks us.

Let's thank God, please don't be an ungrateful child. Let’s give him Thank, Father I thank you, in you I put my Faith, trust and hope and you who didn’t allow me to be put to shame. Remember Hannah put her faith upon the Lord that day as she prayed... THAT SAME GOD didn’t put her to ...read more

Jesus Christ: The Great Evangelist, Part 2

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jan 11, 2022

The Lord Jesus went out of His way to bring the Gospel to an anonymous woman. Her life was one of sin and isolation from others. Despite her attitude and resistance, she was won over to the grace and mercy of God. We are to follow His example.

No one is to be neglected or avoided when it comes to presenting the Good News of salvation found only in the Lord Jesus Christ (John 14:6; Acts 4:12; 1 John 2:1-2).

Dare To Believe

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Apr 15, 2020

What you believe can change everything! Noone expect the report of the spies to promote distrusted in God's power and promise. How much we are robbed by our own doubt, unbelief and mental attitude! Dare to believe and possess the Land.

You are called to be more! You are called to be a giant slayer You would think that nothing could have kept Israel from entering the Promised Land after being so close to it for forty days. They waited on the borders of Canaan for the return of the spies. They were poised to enter Canaan Land. ...read more

Worship On Purpose Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 5, 2021

Worship is so much more than singing a song, the style of music, or our even own preferences; it’s about our heart-attitude before God. There are many elements to worship; but they all serve to honor and glorify God and edify others.

This morning, we’re going to continue our series on the five purposes of the church by looking at worship. In the song “The Heart of Worship,” Matt Redman sings, “I’ll bring You more than a song, for a song in itself is not what You have required. You search much deeper within, through the way ...read more
