    GOD WANTS YOU TO MATURE!

    JUDGES OBSERVATION: THE BOOK OF JUDGES PICKS UP WHERE THE BOOK OF DEUTERONOMY ENDS. JOSHUA WAS SUCCESSFUL IN DRIVING OUT PAGAN WORSHIP AND ENEMIES. UNFORTUNATELY, THEY LATER EMBRACED PAGAN IDOLATRY. THE BOOK FORTUNATELY GIVES GLIMPSES OF WHAT CHRIST CAN DO TO RESTORE BROKEN FELLOWSHIP. ...read more

    Coup De Moi Series

    Contributed by Joel Smith on Jul 13, 2009
     | 3,541 views

    If you want to know if you’ve truly been born again answer the question: "Who is your spiritual daddy?"

    I guess it’s a sign of the times in which we live, but a couple of years ago I saw a billboard on I-85 in Charlotte that said, “Who’s the daddy?” There was a picture of a baby and an ad for a genetic testing lab beneath the picture. It’s sad that young folks are so promiscuous they have to have a ...read more

    A clear Message from God that in our circumstances and trials we should always Consider Our Ways

    Consider Your Ways Haggai 1:3-7 Then came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet, saying, (4) Is it time for you, O ye, to dwell in your cieled houses, and this house lie waste?

    While God May Be Found (July 17, 2022)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Jul 15, 2022
     | 1,976 views

    Who would argue against the understanding that we live in a day when many take God for granted? One thing that eighth chapter of Amos makes clear is that moving away from God invites destruction. The opening image of ripe fruit cuts to the chase as a metaphor for God’s judgement.

    WHILE GOD MAY BE FOUND Texts: Isaiah 55:6, Amos 8:1- 2, 8:11- 12 Isaiah 55:6 Seek the Lord while He may be found; call upon Hime while He is near Amo 8:1 This is what the Lord GOD showed me: behold, a basket of summer fruit. 2 And he said, “Amos, what do you see?” And I said, “A basket of ...read more

     | 5,186 views

    We should all be “treating” the Lord with our devotion and reverence. But how many of us are trying to “trick” Him? How many of us are doing things to appease God, while at the same time we’re pleasing the world or ourselves?

    Halloween is a holiday that most children look forward to, because they get to dress up as their favorite storybook character or superhero; and then go knocking on doors and hopefully come home with a big bag full of candy. And what’s that expression that kids say while they’re standing on ...read more

Exodus 20.3-6 3 “You must not have any other gods except me. 4 “You must not make for yourselves an idol that looks like anything in the sky above or on the earth below or in the water below the land. 5 You must not worship or serve any idol, because I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God.

    How should the Christian view technology?

    Technology and the Soul of Man Genesis 4:16-24 We live in a blizzard of new technology today. We even wonder how we could live without it. I can remember the surprise snowstorm which hit the South in March of 1993 when the power was out in some places here for a week. It was interesting to see how ...read more

    Has Money Become An Idol In Your Life? - Proper 23 - Year B

     | 1,753 views

    As we think about the young man who couldn't give up his wealth, we consider Jesus teaching on the subject and how money affects our relationship with God

    In the name of the living God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen. I doubt that there is anyone listening to this sermon that hasn’t seen the film Titanic. If you haven’t seen it then I’m sorry if I spoil the end of the film for you because it sinks! But wind back about 30 minutes before that ...read more

    Keep Yourself From Idols

    Contributed by Allan Quak on Aug 7, 2020
     | 4,408 views

    In the first century idols were a prevalent and ordinary part of society, and they were a spiritual distraction for Christians. Today we need to be just as much on our guard against the idols of this age.

    Message 1 John 5:13-21 “Keep Yourself From Idols” Read 1 John 5:13-21 “Keep yourselves from idols.” What a random thing to say as the very last sentence of the letter. Paul never ends his letters that way – he usually says something like “Greet these people in your church … grace and ...read more

    God can see us all the time, whether we acknowledge him or not.

    How many of you have played peek-a-boo with a baby? Fun, isn’t it? But eventually they figure out that you can see them even when they can’t see you, and the thrill goes away. It’s a control thing, I think... they’re learning that what they do has an effect on their environment, and sometimes it ...read more
