    The Humble Will Receive Grace, I Promise! Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Jul 13, 2020
     | 7,113 views

    God hates pride, but loves humility. God's promise is that if we humble ourselves before God, He will give us His grace. This truth is clearly displayed in the story of Nebuchadnezzar, and in the story of the Pharisee and the tax collector.

    A. One day a certain preacher began to pride-fully muse about what a fine preacher he had become. 1. So he said to his wife, “How many really great preachers do you think there are?” 2. His wife thought for a minute and said, “Well, I don’t know how many really great preachers there are, but ...read more

    What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you? 2You desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God.

    Confronting Sin: A Passion For Being Changed

    A question on many minds is a simple one: Why do Christians look just like the world? Where is this transformation they talk about? As Protestant Christians we know a lot about grace through faith alone.

    “Tens of thousands, perhaps millions, have come into some kind of religious experience by accepting Christ and they have not been saved.”-A.W.

    Abiding in Jesus is a command that requires an active and obedient response. May we develop and deepen our loving and intimate relationship with God our Father through Christ.

    JESUS DOES NOT WANT TO BE A PART OF YOUR LIFE! JESUS REQUIRES THAT HE IS TO BE LORD OF ALL AREAS OF OUR LIFE! EVERYTHING! NO DIVIDED LOYALTIES NOR WILL HE ALLOW ANY OTHER GODS BEFORE HIM. HE MUST BE THE CENTER OF FOCUS. THIS IS THE GREAT TRAGEDY OF GENESIS 3:9, “BUT THE LORD GOD CALLED TO THE MAN, ...read more

    How To Get What You Really Want And Need

    The cure for conflict is the grace of God. The good news is that God gives even more grace when the pressure increases, especially to the humble.

    The passage from James 4:1-10 attacks worldliness. In particular, it attacks those who have divided Christianity because of selfish ambition. These people are enemies of God. Quarrels and fights are caused by selfish ambition. Some scholars have translated the phrase “among you” as ...read more

    James asks: “What causes fights and quarrels among you?” (verse 1). As usual, James asks a question and does not leave us hanging, but gives us an answer to help direct our minds and hearts. James pinpoints the seeds of quarrels as wrong desires inside us.

    We need to put our faith into action by controlling our anger, our emotions, we do this step of faith by losing our self-centered mindsets. If we do this God promises to draw nearer to us, to lift us up, to answer our prayers and to enable us to resist the enemy of our soul, the Devil.

    I first titled this message “Pray right” but I changed my topic because it’s about “praying smart” – we need to be using the wisdom of God to pray the smart way which then touches the heart of God and eventually our hearts!

     | 10,111 views

    In order for the anointing of God to move powerfully through a Christian’s life, and upon every life they touch, it must be released.

    Before the anointing was released at the start of Jesus ministry, He was baptized. “When all the people were baptized, it came to pass that Jesus also was baptized; and while He prayed, the heaven was opened.” (Luke 3:21 NIV) Baptism symbolizes death. The spices that made up the Anointing Oil ...read more

    Satan’s aim is to destroy our faith and to destroy our church. If he can destroy our faith, then we’ll destroy our church for him. And if he destroys the church, our faith will follow.

    The Devil goes to church … did you know that? He has his favorite pew. He has his favorite hymns. He loves to see a church stuck in a rut because that’s a dying church. He loves a divided church because constant conflict keeps the church distracted from what it’s supposed to be doing. He’s ...read more
