Goal Setting Series

Contributed by Rick Gillespie- Mobley on Mar 31, 2015

This sermon deals with the importance of setting goals. It is a revision of the sermon material given to us in Rick Warren's Transformation series as our church went through the series. I highly recommend the series for your church.

Most of this material was done by Rick Warren in the 50 Days Of Transformation Series. I reworked some of the material and eliminated a lot because of the length of the sermon. We used the material to kick off a church campaign for growth. Welcome to 50 Days of Transformation as we continue The ...read more

Contributed by Ray Searan on Feb 21, 2007

A Portrait of a Godly Mother Text: 2nd Kings 4:8-37 (KJV) 8And it fell on a day, that Elisha passed to Shunem, where was a great woman; and she constrained him to eat bread.

Handling Money

Contributed by John Lowe on Jan 7, 2014

The first commandment of the world is “self-preservation”. A shady business deal is winked at, questionable practices tolerated, and a clever crook is highly praised by the world. The law is on the side of the crook and the criminal many times.

The World’s Most Dangerous Profession - James 3:1-2 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Sep 23, 2021

If anyone is never at fault in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to keep his whole body in check. Introduction: We Talk a ...read more

Mary's Song Series

Contributed by William Huegel on Dec 30, 2005

Mary was a nobody. She knew she was unworthy of such a blessing. And she was right. It’s a problem to elevate her too highly. The point of the Gospel is that God only uses people who understand that they are not worthy and without God they are nothing
