    Our text reveals much about wisdom; what it is and from where it comes. 1- Wisdom calls from along life’s way 2- Wisdom speaks trustworthy things 3- Wisdom fears the Lord 4- Wisdom produces good fruit

    INTRO.- Normally we think that wisdom comes with age, but not always. Sometimes it comes from the mouths of children. · Patrick, age 10, said, “Never trust a dog to watch your food.” · Michael, 14, said, “When your dad is mad and asks you, "Do I look stupid?" don’t answer ...read more

    Scripture In our study in The Gospel of Luke we are now in chapter 15. Jesus was reaching the tax collectors and sinners with the good news of salvation.

    To show that we need to pray more frequently with primary goals in mind as we commune with GOD, we become like Him, not to be heard because that's our secondary goal.

    I. EXORDIUM: How many times do you pray? Countless times. Whenever I'm alone I pray in tongues or whenever in daily devotions. I still need to frequent my prayer more times as the day is nearing. Matthew 6:8 (Amplified Bible) 6:8 Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before ...read more

    I have often wondered just what Jesus would have seen that day that caused so much righteous anger to rise up within him? Surely these Moneychangers and Shopkeepers were no more frustrating to Jesus than so many of the religious leaders he had encountered throughout His ministry!

    TITLE: NOT IN MY HOUSE! SCRIPTURE: ST. MATTHEW 21:10-14 / I PETER 4:17 We have entered into our Third Sunday of Lenten season and preaching around the central theme – “MARCHING TOWARDS CALVARY.” When I read this text a few weeks ago in preparation of this morning’s ...read more

    Let me begin today with a story about a youngster. His mom died during his birth so his father was the family he had. He and his father were very close.

    Choosing A Church

    Contributed by David Hersey on Mar 27, 2015
     | 3,450 views

    We must choose the Lord's church. There is only one. And that's the one we need to be a part of. We need to choose correctly and wisely. The choices we make in life are going to effect us the rest of our lives on earth and in the eternal hereafter.

    Choosing a Church The Christian Chronicle has recently reported that the number of Church of Christ adherents (members and their unbaptized children) continues to decline. Since 2003, the number is down 102,000 or 6.2%. During the same time, the number of congregations fell by 708, or ...read more

    Let Your Conscience Be Your Guid Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Mar 29, 2015
    based on 10 ratings
     | 24,914 views

    To say we should let our conscience be our guide seems so reasonable. It almost makes sense. But God never said we should do that. Instead He said we should seek to have a clear conscience. How can we accomplish this?

    OPEN: This is the final week of our series: “Stupid things even Christians believe. This week we’re focusing on an old piece of advice: “Let your conscience be your guide.” Have you ever heard that said? Of course, we all have. At the core of this proverb is the idea that ...read more

    In all our lives we must face storms. Sudden and unexpected winds of adversity which blow in and blow up. How do we not just survive the storm but thrive in it and through it.

    “Riding Out the Storms of Life” (Mat 14:22-33 NIV) Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd. {23} After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray.

    “doing Things You’ve Never Done To Get Things You’ve Never Gotten.”

    Contributed by John Gaston on May 24, 2016
     | 9,590 views

    We can’t continue our half-hearted, part-time Christianity and expect dynamic N.T. results. Rather, we must attempt to adopt Bible devotion, practices, and obedience – then we can expect to have Bible results!
