     | 9,170 views

    People with no morals in life lack integrity. People only respect those who have a sound belief. Dishonesty is characteristic of those who are not concerned about consequences. A spiritual leader’s integrity will always come under scrutiny such as dedi

    Why do many believers who claim to have faith in Jesus Christ lack the confidence to trust Him? What is your role to play in this life here on earth? Are you living up to what God has called you to do?

    But then the power of the resurrection touched them. And the disciples went from a lack of trust to becoming trusting of God for all things. They went from trying to save their life to giving it away. They went from having little faith to believing all th

    It had started so benignly and yet it was the watershed event of their lives. When they woke up that day, it was like any other….but that would soon change.

    While a lack of passion leads to spiritual complacency, the wrong kind of passion leads to unholy acts! Today’s sermon is going to focus on the life of Apostle James who learned firsthand that passion is only good when aligned with the will of Christ!

    To hope is be human. Our problem is not the absence or lack of hope but what we put our hope in. The goal of this sermon series that I’m doing is to take you on a journey through a book filled with hope. That book is the … the Bible!

    Some of us … [clear throat] … are old enough to remember this song.

    On the whole being prepared isn’t a bad thing. In fact it can be downright crucial! Most people I know that have had a very difficult life, it is not that they could not have done much better in life, it was simply a lack of preparation.

    TITLE: READY OR NOT SCRIPTURE: ST. MATTHEW 25:1-13 I remember with great fondness growing up and spending weekends and holidays with my grandparents in Keyport, NJ. Both sets of grandparents lived just blocks from one another. One of my grandparents lived right next to the City Cemetery. I ...read more

     | 632 views

    Aaron was a chosen servant of God, anointed as the first high priest of Israel. His life teaches us the importance of obedience, humility, and faithfulness in leadership. However, his failures also show the dangers of yielding to pressure and lacking firm spiritual leadership.

    God's Universally Known Standard Series

    Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Apr 4, 2011
    based on 38 ratings
     | 15,350 views

    The lack of the written Law is not the problem, the issue is sin. All have inner knowledge of God's law & some have the external law. It is not so much which law you have, the one written in everyone's inner being or the one written in God's book.

    ROMANS 2: 12-16 GOD'S UNIVERSALLY KNOWN STANDARD [James 1:22-24 / Galatians 1: 6-12] The principle stated in Romans 2:11 that "there is no partiality with God" would shock the Jews.
