    Some theological arguments are only a distraction from the core of Faith, which is love, which comes from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.

    Our society confuses LOVE and LUST. Unlike lust, God’s kind of love is directed toward others, not inward toward ourselves. This kind of love goes against our natural inclinations. It is natural to love them that love us, but it is supernatural to love th

    Opening illustration: Newspaper columnist and minister George Crane tells of a wife who came into his office full of hatred toward her husband. "I do not only want to get rid of him, I want to get even. Before I divorce him, I want to hurt him as much as he has me." Dr. Crane suggested an ...read more

    This message looks at the difference between discipleship and religion

    The past few weeks we’ve looked at diseases that plague the church. Last week we looked at negativity, and I have to tell you, this week I was challenged more than ever...

    The Power Of A Father's Blessing

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jun 16, 2008
    based on 7 ratings
     | 22,162 views

    This message encourages Dads to use their amazing power of blessing in order to help their children.

    - The idea of “blessing” seems odd to us. It’s not a concept that we use very often. - We will even say things like “God bless you” without actually thinking that it means anything except just that it’s something nice to say. - Yet it’s all through the Scripture: 467 times in the Bible, with 108 ...read more

    Relationship with Jesus leads to real change, as it did for Zacchaeus (Luke 19:1-10)

    There are a lot of places the preacher can go with this text, and I suspect many of the hearers and readers will have been exposed to most of them. One of the traditional, and absolutely valid and true, expositions includes Jesus’ choice to minister to those who were outsiders. Tax ...read more

    Greedy For Good Times

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Nov 22, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,355 views

    Why are we rarely as thankful as we should be? Perhaps it is because we are so wrapped up with God’s blessings that we forget their source; we are not willing to take the time or expend the patience it takes to say, "Thank You, Lord."

    Greedy for Good Times (Deuteronomy 8:10-11, 17-18, Luke 17:11-19) 1. Many of us have families spread throughout the nation. It is hard to get together, even for the holidays. 2.

    A good shepherd is serious about feeding the sheep and protecting the sheep; that process begins by rehearsing and growing in our relationship to God.

     | 5,132 views

    We can very easily get very judgmental of the wandering sheep. These people make bad choices and get into trouble. But let's see how the Great Shepherd views these wanderers.

    Passage: Matthew 18:10-14 Intro: One of the amazing things about us is that we can take a vice and turn it into a virtue. 1. and we are especially good at this when it comes to attitudes. 2. read about love, forgiveness, grace and we believe it. 3. but we also read about discipline and ...read more
