    Marriage: Duel Or Duet?

    Contributed by Adrian Rogers on Mar 27, 2012
    based on 14 ratings

    Marriage is more than moonlight and roses. In our day, it is by many lightly regarded, and by many as lightly discarded. But marriages are kept alive by God's grace.

    Introduction Jesus said, “If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink” (John 7:37). And, the only people who go away unsatisfied from that living water are those who are filled with the stagnate water of self-love. But, if you’ll seek the Lord Jesus, today, if you ...read more

    James tells us that "no one can tame the tongue." So, what do we do about it? How can we recognize when we've misused our tongue and spoken curses that bring shame to Christ?

    OPEN: Words have meaning. (We showed a video clip by www.vidangel.com/ that explained the impact of curse words on our families using paint balls fired at a family watching TV to visualize the sharp increase of swear words in our “entertainment” mediums) (You can find the video we used at ...read more

    A look through the book of Proverbs as we gain practical knowledge about everyday living by gaining wisdom.

    BE WISE - WORDS August 4, 2019 Do you remember that old nursery rhyme . . . Sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt! In reality, don’t you wish that was true?!

    This sermon explores the power of the tongue and the importance of using it wisely. It emphasizes the need for self-control in speech to promote harmony and avoid destruction.

    Lately, there has been a lot of negative news surrounding the Catholic church, particularly regarding allegations of sexual misconduct by priests. While I do not condone these actions, it saddens me because the world is watching and may view the church as hypocritical. However, there is another ...read more

    Our words have the power to bring life or death. We must be mindful of how we use them, ensuring they reflect our faith and the love of Christ.

    James kicks off by saying that teachers and preachers are gonna be judged more strictly because their words carry a lot of weight. Our words can make a huge difference, and if we can get a handle on what we say, we can control our whole selves. Imagine this: You're playing a video game, and you're ...read more

    Our words have immense power. They can direct, destroy, and reveal the condition of our hearts. We should be intentional with our words, using them to guide others toward God, speak words of encouragement and blessing, and reflect His love and truth.

    Hey guys! Today, we're gonna chat about something we all use every day - words. You know, those things we text, tweet, and sometimes even say out loud. They're more powerful than you might think. They can build up or tear down, create understanding or confusion, and bring people closer to God or ...read more

    The More The Word The Less The Meaning.

    Believers are created to emulate Jesus; we are to be like him in all our ways, that is why we are being called Christians; that is, we are Christ like.

    When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal. 4 Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go. 5 Likewise, the tongue is a small part ...read more

    James devotes most of chapter 3 to our challenge of controlling the tongue. In this sermon, we examine James' pronouncements about the tongue and then look at improper and proper uses of the tongue.

    Introduction: A. If your tongue has ever gotten you into trouble, then please raise your hand. 1. Turn to your neighbor and say, “I’m not surprised!” 2. We are not surprised, because it happens to all of us. 3. All of us have had the experience of saying something, and then wishing we had not said ...read more

    But It’s Only Words

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Aug 10, 2021
     | 2,100 views

    We often dismiss our words because actions are what really matter. This sermon looks at some of the warnings the Scripture gives us about the dangers of our words.

    BUT IT'S ONLY WORDS: Often we think of actions as being serious but words as being insignificant. TAKING OUR WORDS SERIOUSLY: 1. Your words reveal who you are. - Matthew 12:34-35. - We deny this: “I said it but that’s not who I am.” Like when we lie or burst out in anger. 2. Your words ...read more

    Lesson 21. The Discipline Of The Tongue (James 3:1-12) Series

     | 5,655 views

    From his discourse on idle faith, James proceeded to discuss the idle speech. The failure o bridle the tongue, mentioned earlier (1:26), is now expanded. As disturbing as those who have faith with no works are those Christians who substitute words for works.

    1Not many of you should become teachers, my fellow believers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly. 2We all stumble in many ways. Anyone who is never at fault in what they say is perfect, able to keep their whole body in check. 3When we put bits into the mouths of horses ...read more

    Chapter 3 begins a new discussion. The first two chapters of James have been about trials and temptations and how we can overcome them. These trials and temptations are common to everyone.

    Horizontal Or Vertical Divide

    God doesn't divide between us horizontally, that's what we do. God divides between us vertically. Saved or not saved. In Christ or not in Christ. He shows no favoritism, and we shouldn't either.

    Horizontal or Vertical Divide James 2:1-13 Many years ago when Terri and I were living in Bowling Green, KY, we were members of a very large church for a while. This church was so large that they had two of everything—two Sunday morning worship services and two Sunday School services. Now, I have ...read more

    Few acknowledge how important SPIRITUAL GROWTH can be to the family and the church. We tend to accept the spirit of sameness and never focus on growing spiritually.
