    Struggling Even When The Good Times Roll Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Sep 21, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,082 views

    July 1989: When we are prospering, we are tempted into the idolatry of me-ism and self-congratulation. This is an opportunity to do more for others and for the Kingdom, for God is the source of our bounty.

    About a year ago, toward the end of July, I placed one of these up here on the pulpit as the visible sermon for the day. Remember? Do you recall what we called that Sunday? Right: we called it "catch-up Sunday" …catch-up Sunday … and the idea was that if we were behind in our giving, if we as a ...read more

    Shows how the Lordship of Christ demands our faithfulness. We must avoid idolatry and worship of money. This sermon is very specifically tailored to the Vietnamese culture.

    The Lordship of Christ – Part 3 (Faithfulness) Joshua 24:14-15 "Now fear the LORD and serve him with all faithfulness. Throw away the gods your forefathers worshiped beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the LORD. 15 But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves ...read more

    Judgment Of God Is Described Series

    Israel missed the opportunity to be a Witness for Jehovah. The nations in Canaan were in terrible bondage to ignorance, idolatry, and immorality, and they desperately needed to know the true God of Israel.

    Chapter 10 Judgment of God Is Described [Judges 2.11-19] Scripture 11 And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and served Baalim: 12 And they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, which brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of ...read more

    How Similar Is The Flying Scroll And Basket Like Christians Today?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Nov 19, 2024
     | 174 views

    Have people of today violated God’s Laws? I believe so. We see all types of sin, idolatry, and sexual perversion everywhere.

    The Flying Scroll: The vision of the flying scroll was God’s judgment across the land. Judgment against those who violated God’s law (Jeremiah 36:1-6), especially regarding the stealing and lying (5:1-4). The woman in the ephah (basket) exemplified wickedness, thus this vision showed that ...read more

    Flesh And Spirit: Love And Patience Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Aug 3, 2009
     | 5,823 views

    Patience reaches four layers: relational, emotional, sexual, and spiritual. At each level to be impatient is to fail to trust God to be God.

    I know you’ve heard this old line, but I just can’t resist repeating it. It concerns the fellow who had realized that he was impetuous, compulsive, and impatient. And so he decided to ask the Lord to help him settle his personality problem. "Lord," he prayed. “Lord, give me the gift of patience and ...read more

    The God Of Power Series

    Part 1 of 5 in a series on the false gods of this world (i.e. of our own creation) that vie to be the ultimate object of our worship.

    INTRODUCTION: It is the number one problem in the Bible—more than 1,000 verses speak of it. More than 50 of the laws in the first five books of the Bible are directed against it. In Judaism it was one of only four sins to which the death penalty was attached. Yet we skip over it as an ...read more

     | 6,034 views

    Idolatry can challenge our faith in many ways. To understand this command and all of the Ten Commandments, we must view them from a New Testament perspective.

    Thou shalt have no other gods before Me / Thou shalt not make for thyself an idol. In this portion of study we will examine both of these commands together because they are so closely related. Keep in mind that all of the commandments concerning worship and obedience are based on the greatest ...read more

    Number 3 in Series on compromise. #3 brings us the process of Blessing. When we get off of the fences of idolatry, we set ourselves up for blessing.

    Part three: GET OFF THE FENCE! Let me remind you of the challenges of this message. I believe that it is time for the children of God to arise, and get ourselves up from the place of complacency in our Spirit and in our flesh, and ’get off the fence!’ I believe that it is time for the Church ...read more

    Faith does not rest on the heart like foam on beer, said Martin Luther. Gideon's faith is active in this episode as he the spiritual idolatry of his own people.

    How was your first day of school? Did the teacher give you a test? Were you assigned any projects? Did you get any homework at all?

    Recently our church was accused of idolatry because we have a cross in our sanctuary and one in front of the church. Are our crosses idols? Can they be idols? Hmmm.....

    The willful rejection of God from His due place in life leads persons who were created to worship their Creator into worshiping the creation.

    ROMANS 1: 21-23 THE REASONING OF FALLEN MAN [1 Corinthians 1: 18-31] Our text continues to expose the dark side of human nature as the reasoning for God's settled wrath against fallen man continues to build. Mankind's suppression of the truth is seen in their rejecting the clear imprint of ...read more

    The Marks Of A Generation That Knows Not God

    We must understand that the Old Testament is not written just to fill up space in the Bible but is written to instruct and inform us of what to do and not do. Romans 15:4 “For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning.”

    The Gospel And God's Wrath Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Apr 8, 2019
     | 7,191 views

    The gospel is the good news of Jesus that is the antidote of the bad news of God's wrath and judgment against sin. In Romans 1:18-32, Paul discusses why God's wrath is justified, and what happens to humanity when they reject God and God gives them up.

    A. The story is told of a street evangelist who was trying to get the attention of people passing by. 1. He spoke loudly, urging the people to flee from the wrath of God to come. 2. He roared, “I warn you, that there will be weeping, and wailing, and gnashing of teeth!” 3. An older woman passing ...read more
