    Craving Evil And The Lottery

    Contributed by Greg Nance on Oct 12, 2002
    based on 50 ratings
     | 3,827 views

    Israel’s history helps us understand the dangers of sinful patterns today. Craving evil is a root that bears bad fruit. Only the cross can deliver us.

    Bill Cosby once said, “I’m proud to be an American, because an American can eat anything on the face of this earth, as long as he has two pieces of bread.” As Paul approaches eating meat offered to idols here in chapter 10, he gets a running start by pointing to ancient Israel’s history. For our ...read more

    There is NO more important task in the life of the believing parent than to provide the abundant life through active, unceasing training in following Christ and His Word.

    “Keeping Our Kids Out of The Concrete” Introduction: What is happening in our nation today? What is happening to our children and young people? Why are so many compromising, struggling, drowning and even dying? Why does it seem that each of the last few generations is taking longer and longer ...read more

    What offering are you giving the Lord?

    INTRO: A hen and a pig approached a church and read the advertised sermon topic: “What can we do to help the poor?” Immediately the hen suggested they feed them bacon and eggs.

    Signing Your Own Declaration Of Independence

    Contributed by Bruce Willis on Jun 22, 2007
    based on 26 ratings
     | 3,890 views

    This sermon seeks to reveal just how we operate in independence because we in essence signed our own Declaration of Independence like Adam and Eve did in the Garden of Eden.

    Today, 230 years ago 13 Colonies signed the Declaration of Independence and a nation was born. The second paragraph of what they signed says, “We hold these truths to be self-evident: That all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among ...read more

    Depression Acts 18:1-18 OPEN: Psychiatry students were in their college class one day when their professor began a discussion to prove a point. "What we’re going to talk about today," the professor said, "are the emotional extremes that many mentally disturbed people go through… for ...read more

    Don't Be Afraid - Only Believe Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Aug 6, 2006
    based on 7 ratings
     | 9,283 views

    Does Jesus have authority over the difficulties in your life? What if God doesn’t seem to answer your prayers on time, do you still trust Him? In this study we see Jesus take authority over the powers of darkness and death itself.

    The last half of Luke 8 gives us two incredible stories of Jesus combating the forces allied against humanity - the hosts of darkness under the control of Satan, and darkness itself: death. Just before this episode, Luke records for us Jesus’ control over the elements as He calmed the wind storm ...read more

    The earth is the Lord’s and all that is in it. It isn’t ours and on no day of creation did God make "pests."

     | 2,420 views

    In the midst of hardship, John remained faithful to Christ, having served Him for 60 over years. He was determined to worship Him in adverse circumstances and experienced God’s presence and heard His voice. Worship Him always!

    Rev 1:9-12 Worship Christ ES 20Jan08 1934 John knows Christ in more ways than one. • He saw Christ in person while on earth, spending 3 years every day with Him. • I came to notice also that when Jesus prays, He often bring 3 disciples along – John, James and Peter: At the Mount of ...read more

    When The Walls Come Tumblin' Down

    Contributed by Deborah Westbrook on Mar 13, 2009
    based on 11 ratings
     | 10,745 views

    Jesus anger wasn’t about selling things; it was about the evil vendors preying upon the innocent. When barriers go up relationship is broken.

    John 2:13-22 When the Tables Come Tumbling Down I would hazard a guess that when most of us think of Jesus, we picture the soft spoken, peace loving, gentle as a lamb, Savior. Always smiling, always patient, always kind. There is no doubt that Christ had a side of Him ...read more
