    This sermon encourages inspection of our heart motives: ULTERIOR MOTIVE is a huge issue in the world today. Are you motivated by love, or the "What’s In It For Me" factor?

    Buried somewhere in the center of a stack of moving boxes are three thick books: our family photo albums, the antiquated ones. Everyone knows flipping the pages of a photo album is out. Now CD’s and DVD’s are in. The pictures never fade, the slideshow runs without the old family slide projector ...read more

    What does it mean to live in Victory every day of your life? How can I live in victory?

    Living In Victory (Joshua 6:15-20) Intro: A. It was a victory that some people today deny could happen.

    One of the ways that Christians live in a positive manner is to discover the ministry, and their gifts and serve God and those around them using their particular gifts in their unique style.

    THE SEVEN SEVICE MAY 12, 2002 Romans 8:28-33 “Living Positively” INTRODUCTION We have a choice. We can either approach life as an optimist, or we can approach life as a pessimist. Both optimists and pessimists look to the future. However, one sees the positive possibilities, while the ...read more

    Live As Aliens 1)Because God is an impartial judge; 2) Because Christ has redeemed us with his blood

    Have you ever seen an alien? I don’t mean on T.V. or in the movies, I mean a real red-blooded (or is it green-blooded?) alien. Have you ever seen one? I have. In fact I’m looking at a bunch right now! Christians are aliens. At least that’s what the Apostle Peter tells us this morning. He says that ...read more

    This sermon is to inspire us to "live by faith" despite what happens in our life and the world around us.

    Max Lucado tells a story in his recent book "Come Thirsty" that is so humerous, but has me a little worried about Max. In it, he has a conversation with a fly... (read it)...   So then why is it, that we try to fly the thing ourselves?; fix it without relying upon the power of God?; Or worse yet, ...read more

    The world teaches us to only consider Me, Mysel, and I. Let us dethrone self as God deny ourselves and take up our cross and follow Jesus.

    Dieing To Live At a party a woman said this: “My husband and I managed to be happy together for 20 years. I guess this is because we’re both in love with the same person.” The husband of this marriage is a picture of the self absorbed and self-centered society we have today . The wife even ...read more

    By following the commands of God, we are truly living with Christ.

    Grace and mercy be unto you from God our Father and our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. In Old Testament times, Moses, the Patriarchs and the rest of the Jews looked toward a specific part of a tent as the living place for God. Blood was shed in this Tent of Meeting in the form sacrifices ...read more

    Hebrews chapter eleven tells how to live by faith.

    INTRO.- ILL.- A guide was conducting a group of tourists around the Empire State Building. On the elevator ride to the 102nd floor, a nervous woman asked, “What if these elevator cables should break?

    It is hard to be excited about the Second Coming after over 200 years of waiting -- how then do we continue to wait in expectation?

    College students today have it easy! My son is a student at the University of Central Florida and I have watched him register for classes. The way he does it is to go to the computer, get on the Internet, and in 5 minutes he’s registered for all of his upcoming classes. Back in my day, we had ...read more

     | 25,062 views

    The difference between living and existing can often be traced to one’s philosophy of life. The God-given philosophy of life involves many aspects, but today I’d like to summarize part of that philosphy through three "Remember" statements.

    Enthusiastic Living (Ecclesiastes 9:7-18) Intro 1. Kids pretend things to take away boredom….. (1) We’d walk to the store pretending we are trying to lose Martians who were following us (2) Kids who need medical treatments often try to make games of things… 2. As we age, we tend to lose ...read more
