    Even A Little Can Hurt

    We cannot play around with temptation because we are not strong enough to resist it for long, and when temptation is taken, it will always lead us into sin - away from God.

    Have you ever noticed how opportunity only knocks once, but temptation seems to keep banging away until you answer the door? It’s always there waiting to entice us, and unless we are constantly on guard against it, we will slip and succumb to it. It might be the temptation of fear; the temptation ...read more

    We may find ourselves asking God where He is, but we must remind ourselves that God loves us and God is with us all day long.

    Put Your Hope in God Psalm 42 The writer of this psalm is a Korahite That means a few different things. He was a highly respected Levite who was part of a rich family tradition of music and worship. He was a man of status, deeply embedded in the tradition of Temple worship. It means that his ...read more

    Where are you building the house of your life? Are you actually putting Jesus’ teachings that we have examined for so long into practice? If not, Jesus concludes, it will be distastrous.

    based on 24 ratings
     | 12,980 views

    Although, stereotypically, we think that young women are looking for romance from films, while men crave for adventure, in fact all of us, if we are honest, long for both.

    --note-- 1997, 20th Century Fox Director: James Cameron Starring: Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet - - - - - I wasn’t very keen to see Titanic when it first came out. A few particularly bad experiences of sea sickness in small boats, miles from land, coupled with thoughts of how terrifying it would ...read more

    Jesus Builds His Body 12 Ways Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Dec 31, 2007
     | 2,885 views

    Are you looking for short term fixes to your life or long term solutions? Are you looking for a leader to get you out of a jam or a savior to bring you into peace?

    Years ago there was an ad campaign by a certain maker of bread: "Wonder, it builds a body 12 ways" or something like that. I sort of pictured this incredibly wonder-ful food that after you ate it you turned into Superman or something. In reality it was bread made of white flour. The problem with ...read more

    Could it be me? Could I be the one who betrays Jesus? No matter how long we serve the Lord, there’s always a chance that we could fail.

    Could it be Me? Wednesday, March 19, 2008 On the night before Jesus’ crucifixion we find him in the upper room, with all of the disciples as they prepared for the last supper.

    To Build A Fire

    based on 18 ratings
     | 3,662 views

    like Jesus, we need to not only look, but to really see men, that is, perceive and understand the deep longings in men who are without God … in short … “what are they seeking?”

    To Build a Fire September 2, 2001 Read John 1:35-39a and 2 Tim. 4:5 I want to bring an exhortation on evangelism today, but rather than stress our responsibility to evangelize, I want to do it by thinking deeply about the nature of man. When it comes down to “doing the work of an evangelist” I ...read more

    This sermon looks at how wide, long, high and deep the love of God is. The point being that God’s love is vast! We need to know that and experience it.

    8th in long series on Joshua. 1st of 2 sermons on mass circumcision in ch.5. This deals with cutting the sin out of our lives, execution-style.

    11th in long series on Joshua. This speaks of conquering our own obstacles (like Jericho), even though sometimes God’s commands seem foolish or wasteful.

    Joshua 6:1-27 – Overcoming Obstacles There is a story told of ancient times. Once upon a time, a king had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the king’s wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked ...read more

    Contributed by Paul Fritz on Jun 21, 2004
    based on 14 ratings
     | 3,022 views

    Instead of going into a long explanation on subjects, Jesus taught in principles saying, "When you pray, say, . . ." and He gave them a pattern that also included prayer principles.

    Why Jesus Chose to Not React to Cultural or Temperaments but Focused on Principles John 4:23-34 - "Yet, a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.
