    Part Three: Understand Your Struggle With Christ Series

    Contributed by Luskey Green on Sep 23, 2006
     | 3,011 views

    We all struggle to be better, to improve, etc. But struggling in becoming a disciple is a product of pride. The sooner we understand this, the sooner we can make struggle an asset rather than a liability.

    Introduction Where are we today? I mean by that, in our study about the Christ and His Church, are we making progress? Are we moving toward Christ or are we satisfied to stay back, keeping our distance? Are we unsure we are willing to make the kind of commitment Jesus Christ wants of us? It is ...read more

    To a church which has prided itself on its accumulated resources, but which now faces austerity, God says that if we do not fear but trust Him, we are enough to get Him the victory.

    Hands. You have two hands. A right hand and a left hand, two hands. They are the most versatile parts of the human body, the places where our creativity is expressed, the instruments through which we register emotions, the tools we use to earn our daily bread. Hands. What a wonderful gift are our ...read more

    Belshazzar is confident and cocky. With the enemy at his gates he is throwing a party. Into this pride comes the hand of God. What is the message? You have been weighed and you don't measure up!

    Intro: When we look at chapter 5 we are seeing the second part of a trilogy of pagan kings. Chapter 4 we see Nebuchadnezzar and his repentance after God’s warning. Chapter 6 we see Darius the Mede acknowledge Daniel’s God but not accept Him. Here in chapter 5 we see Belshazzar and ...read more

    The rebellious leader seem to all have the same characteristics that shows up in evil ways: pride, selfishness, jealousy, greed, lust for power, and disregard for the will of God even when they proclaim belief in Him.

    Sunday Afternoon Message from Pastor Roy: We have been through a lot in our United Methodist Church, other denominations also, our local Churches and in our Country. Leadership and CoVid are problems but not insurmountable for God. I hear people asking why God is letting this happen. I hear ...read more

    When people form strongholds in their lives, they imprison their thoughts with error, confusion, bitterness, pride, and false philosophies. God's word encourages us to tear down the strongholds in our lives.

    II Corinthians 10:1-6 Introduction: • The word "stronghold" in 2 Corinthians 10:4 means a strong-walled military fort or prison. • When people form strongholds in their lives, they imprison their thoughts with error, confusion, bitterness, pride, and false philosophies.

    Contributed by Chuck Brooks on Aug 3, 2020
     | 1,578 views

    Even with a strong knowledge of the Word and a close relationship with the Father, you and I are still susceptible to being tempted by and succumbing to the allures of the world and its lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, and the boastful pride of life.

    (1 John 2:12 NKJV) I write to you, little children, Because your sins are forgiven you for His name's sake. (1 John 2:13 NKJV) I write to you, fathers, Because you have known Him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, Because you have overcome the wicked one. I write to you, ...read more

     | 349 views

    Jesus pictures the kingdom as a banquet—an invitation to joy. In Luke 14:7–24 He confronts pride, exposes excuses, and calls for a humble, wholehearted response to His invitation—today, not “someday.”

    The next couple of weeks we're going to be spending time in Luke 14, in a mini-series called "Come to the Table." I named the series this because - don't you just love invitations to eat? At first I thought that "Let's Eat" may have been a better title for this ...read more

     | 342 views

    Spiritual gifts are powerful expressions of God’s grace, meant to equip the Church for its divine assignment. But gifts alone are not enough. Without maturity, they can become tools of pride, division, or confusion.

Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Ephesians 4:13-16 Supporting Texts: 1 Corinthians 12:4-11, Romans 12:4-8, 1 Peter 4:10-11, Hebrews 5:12-14, Colossians 1:28 INTRODUCTION: Spiritual gifts are divine endowments given by the Holy Spirit to every believer for ...read more

     | 362 views

    Saul’s life began with great potential but ended in tragedy due to his disobedience, pride, and jealousy. His story serves as a warning that leadership without humility and obedience to God leads to failure.

     | 31,459 views

    The businessmen in James 4 don’t seem to be boastful and proud to me... and yet God says they were. What makes a person proud?

    OPEN: Dr. Seuss once wrote a poem entitled: “The Places You’ll Go” And part of it goes like this: “You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You’re on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the guy who’ll decide where to ...read more

    Why People See Christians As Weak Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 4, 2021
     | 2,822 views

    Boasting or bragging is excluded because it elevates you to the pinnacle of importance. It’s sad to say this, but religion is a great place to do just this – to brag about one’s morality

    “For consider your calling, brothers: not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. 27 But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; 28 God chose what is low ...read more

    When it comes to our personal relationship with God and with others, Jesus taught that personal goodness is more valuable than personal greatness.

    INTRODUCTION When I was a pastor in Alabama, we lived next to a cemetery. Most days I would jog through there; the residents never complained. I enjoyed reading the tombstones. I’ll never forget the short tribute one on large tombstone. A man’s name was listed and then it said, “He was a great ...read more
