    Guarding Your Thoughts

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Jan 25, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,105 views

    Our thoughts shape our attitudes, decisions, and ultimately, our lives.. A mind filled with godly thoughts produces a life that honours God, while an unguarded mind is vulnerable to sin and defeat.

    Title: GUARDING YOUR THOUGHTS By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Philippians 4:8 "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there ...read more

    Dealing With Doctrinal Deviation

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Aug 29, 2010
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,288 views

    God charges the church with the responsibility to avoid those who cause division and create obstacles. It is the responsibility of the entire assembly, and not that of the elders alone.

    “I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them. For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naïve.” ...read more

    Yuck: The Lukewarm Church Series

    Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Apr 7, 2018

     | 8,031 views

    Christ delivers a message to those who are Christian in name only. Being neither zealous for good works nor orthodox in their doctrine, they are lukewarm and sickening to Christ.

    George Barna makes a living through surveys. What makes him unique is that his surveys are on exclusively Christian topics. Although he does poll populations at large, he also does polling on those who profess to be Christian. For millennia, there have been standard benchmarks of orthodoxy. Yet, as ...read more

    Two individuals demonstrating two different reactions to Jesus Christ. It is a contrast between the attitudes of the self-righteous and the repentant sinful. Here we see demonstrations of gratitude and of ingratitude, of appreciation and of depreciation

    based on 60 ratings
     | 5,271 views

    The fundamental stance we have before God is critical to everything else in our lives, for personal idolatries, failed intimacies, and low self-esteem are all results of our not experiencing salvation.

    When I was young, and riding a bicycle, we didn’t wear helmets. Nobody had thought of such a thing. And even if they had, no government was telling us we had to wear helmets. I haven’t even worn so much as a hat since I reached the age of 13, much less a helmet. So when we spilled, we spilled, ...read more

     | 6,476 views

    Nicodemus was confused because his thinking was earth-bound but Jesus offered him eternal life through a spiritual rebirth if he would believe in Christ’s self-offering on the Cross.

    A LIFE CHANGING INTERVIEW The text, John 3:16 is a biblical classic: "God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." It’s probably the most loved and quoted verse in Scripture. Rev Sandy Millar, Rector of Holy ...read more

    Beatitudes--More Than Skin Deep

    Contributed by Daryl Bahn on Nov 3, 2001
    based on 114 ratings
     | 9,187 views

    Jesus’ Beatitudes are a splash of frigid water in the face of the self-righteous, but a cup of refreshing water for God’s forgiven saints who are weary of the ways of the world. (All Saints Day, 2001)

    BEATITUDES—MORE THAN SKIN DEEP (Matthew 5:1-12) The Beatitudes are like a splash of ice-cold water in the face of those who are self-satisfied and full of themselves. The Pharisees, for example, were wealthy, successful, powerful, and very religious. They thought the coming of the Kingdom of God ...read more

     | 7,708 views

    Jesus calls on us to deny our selves and take up our crosses and follow Him - just as He went to the cross. This sermon delves into that idea of denying the "self" a little more.

    March 12, 2006 Mark 8:31-38 31 He then began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests and teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and after three days rise again. 32 He spoke plainly about this, and Peter took him aside and ...read more

     | 10,052 views

    OUT OF 6 OBJECTS OF WAR ONLY 1 IS USED FOR OFFENCE AND 5 IS USED TO DEFEND AND GUARD ONES SELF. FIGHTING IS NOT AS MUCH ABOUT FIGHTING AS MUCH AS IT IS JUST STANDING YOUR GROUND.

    STANDING IN THE ARMOR OF GOD REV. SCOTT EPPERSON 3/15/07 (Eph 6:10) Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. (Eph 6:11) Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. (Eph 6:12) For we wrestle not against flesh ...read more

    There is a story of a sailor who was shipwrecked on a South Sea island. He was seized by the natives, carried shoulder-high to a magnificent throne, and proclaimed king.

    based on 9 ratings
     | 7,490 views

    Now we like times of great victory and accomplishment but they are most likely going to be dangerous if you allow yourself to be filled with pride. God will see to it that his children know they are not self-sufficient.

    The weak strong man. Judges 15:18-20 06/29/05 After Samson had slain 1000 Philistines, he was about to die of thirst. I could certainly see how a man could get thirsty slaying a thousand enemies with his weapon being the jawbone of a donkey. But in this moment of his life of thirst, was probably ...read more

    Are you saved, because you are better than the rest – that you are not “self-seeking” and you embrace the truth and follow what is good? Did God save you, because you are not stubborn?

    “You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge the other, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things. Now we know that God’s judgment against those who do such things is based on truth. So when you, a mere ...read more

    God appoints men to teach His people. Self-appointed counterfeits promote themselves to the detriment of the assemblies of our Lord. However, those whom He appoints bless the people of God.

    JAMES 3:1, 2 THE TEACHER’S BURDEN “Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness. For we all stumble in many ways.

     | 5,734 views

    We often align ourselves with the 'good' character, but stop and consider afresh which character you are like in this story. Are you self-sufficient? Fearful? Jealous? Grow to be more like David!

    David vs Goliath This is so much more than the story of an underdog vs a giant. Which character are you like? (eg facebook quiz) Are you a Goliath? (vs 4 – 10, 42 - 44) Trusting in natural talent, physical security, past success Show contempt for others that you do not understand, realize ...read more
