    It is so easy to judge and condemn the perceived selfishness of others. But rarely do we turn that discerning eye and critical judgment toward ourselves leaving our personal selfishness virtually unchallenged.

    Selfishness Philippians 2:3-4 If you look around, you see endless examples of selfishness. We often lament their existence: We lash out at the pork spending of politicians for their constituents. We despise the self-serving culture of corporate greed. We protest the selfish motives of many wars and ...read more

    Teaching Our Children The Way To Go. Series

    From the beginning, the family has played a critical role in the outworking of God's purposes on earth. As the fundamental building block of society, it was designed to provide the context for the nurture and training of each succeeding generation.

    The family was also designed to reflect and flesh out spiritual truth. Scripture uses the imagery of the family to speak of our relationship with God in Christ. As believers, we are adopted children in the household of God (Rom. 8:15-17). We are also heirs with Christ (Rom. 8:17; Eph. 1:11; 3:6). ...read more

    Romans, Part 19 Series

     | 3,261 views

    Understanding the role of God in our lives is critical. We are called to be slaves to Him, to His power, and to His authority. It is when we try to take charge that we get into the difficulties of life.

    Romans, Part 19 Romans 6:15-23 Introduction - We are no longer under the bonds this world wants to place on us Gal 2:20 says, “I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.

    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,000 views

    Bible believers are sometimes criticized because they believe in heaven instead of facing the real world. The truth is the opposite. Heaven is more real than this present life because it is permanent and this life is temporary.

    Revelation 22:6-9 Purpose: To challenge believers to stay focused on God. Aim: I want the listener to worship God intently. INTRODUCTION: How can we be content in a world where there is so much suffering and pain, especially when it looks like it's only going to get worse? Even if the world ...read more

    Beginning well is important in the Christian Life; ending well is critical. We witness both as we see what the Apostle Paul has written near the end of his days on this earth.

    2 TIMOTHY 4:1-8 HENCEFORTH “I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching.

    Probably nothing can contribute more to the quality of our lives than a positive attitude. And yet, sometimes it is so easy for us to become critical. And we end up focusing on the negative.

    MELVIN NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK (This is a revised version of a message contributed earlier to Sermon Central) TEXT: Philippians 4:8; 1 Thessalonians 5:12-18; Proverbs 23:7 This morning I want to talk about two ...read more

    Understanding (and being able to defend) creation is critical for all believers. Why? Because, Creation causes us to marvel at who God is by seeing His complete authority over everything.

    Alpha and Omega, Part 1 “In the beginning …” Genesis 1:1-5 Introduction - Begin the year with “one purpose”: Knowing there is a God! -- Resolutions change and fluctuate, so instead let’s go with “one purpose” -- This will frame our year, word: GROW; and allow us to dive deeper - ...read more

    Melchizedek appears only briefly in Genesis but plays a critical role in the story of faith. In Melchizedek, we see a symbol of Jesus Christ, who is our ultimate King and eternal High Priest.

    Transformed by Truth: A King and Priest Forever Genesis 14:18-20 (NLT): “And Melchizedek, the king of Salem and a priest of God Most High, brought Abram some bread and wine.

    Paul addresses his critics directly and highlighted a few lessons. A true ministry does not draw attention to himself, commits to the work God assigns and lives for the audience of One, his Lord.

    2 Cor 10:7-18 The True Measure of a Minister 2 Cor 10:7-18 – Paul addressing his critics 7Look at what is before your eyes.

    When The Buck Stops With You--Deciding About Jesus Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Mar 23, 2022
     | 1,847 views

    The issue of principles for spiritual decision-making can make or break a life; make or break a destiny. Pontius Pilate faced a critical decision about Jesus. His mistakes provide wisdom when the buck stops with us.

    We come to the fateful moment of decision for the Lord Jesus Christ, the God-Man, in his earthly sojourn—that moment when the judges among men are about to finally decide the fate of the One who will ultimately be their Judge for eternity. And we know, of course, it is going to be a fatal ...read more
