     | 6,652 views

    Temptation can take us by surprise sometimes. We can get discouraged when we find ourselves giving in over and over. We get overwhelmed when it seems like we can't catch a break. What can we do? It's important that we understand what's going on so we can

    UNDERSTANDING TEMPTATION James 1:13-18 1) The difference between testing and temptation. • Testing is good; temptation is not (Vs. 17). Every good and perfect gift is from above. Therefore, since God doesn’t tempt anyone temptation is not good. However, it isn’t sin, since Jesus ...read more

    Quick And Slow

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Jan 31, 2012
    based on 4 ratings
     | 16,950 views

    Being quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry are attributes that matter a great deal in our everyday living. Following these principles can avert a lot of trouble and accomplish much good in our own lives and in the lives of others.

    QUICK AND SLOW James 1:19-21 INTRODUCTION: James goes into the next passage saying, “Take note of this” (listen up, pay attention). Not that anything James had said up until this point isn’t important but he’s indicating that what he is about to write is something he ...read more

    Handling Complaints In A Healthy Way

    based on 7 ratings
     | 7,539 views

    The church consists of people, and at some stage in a growing church complaints and differences of opinion will occur. This sermon explores the biblical approach to handling complaints.

    As I read the New Testament one of things that becomes clear is that God knows that although He wants us to be living together in harmony, that we will struggle. So He gives us guidance, such as that found in Colossians 3:13-15 13 Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have ...read more

    We believe that God will do that which seems “impossible”. We believe that God will take each opportunity, each act of service, each expression of love to one another and use that for His glory and His Kingdom.

    I Still Believe Sept 7, 2008 Zech 8:1-8 Intro: I think I used to be more of a dreamer. I was never a pure idealist, with a grand vision of the perfect future “if only…”, but I have been close.

    Where is God when we’ve messed up? God is there with compassion. That is the word in the passage. God is there with restoration. God is there to strengthen. God is there to answer. These are powerful, amazing words! Let’s not run past them!!

    based on 3 ratings
     | 12,592 views

    We have the tendency to avoid trouble and difficulty. We want to play it safe. If we would move into the realm of the supernatural, we must defeat our desire to stay in the Safe Zone and move into the Faith Zone.

    Contributed by Ron Tuit on Nov 15, 2015
     | 5,821 views

    The Jews continue to combat Jesus' claims to Deity in the end of John 8, but Jesus continues to exert His eternal existence and identification with YHWH, the Great I AM.

    11 15 2015 “Four Accusing Questions” John 8:47-59 Every chapter of the Gospel of John so powerfully witnesses to the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, and we have especially witnessed that fact in chapter 8. Jesus declares in John 8:12: "I am the light of the world. He who follows ...read more
