A man welcomes and embraces self-discipline. He will use self-discipline as a means of accomplishing God’s purposes in his life, understanding that the flesh prefers indifference over discipline.

What Did The Angels Think Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jul 18, 2021

What did the angels think about God taking on flesh and coming into His creation as a weak, helpless baby? Why would God do such a thing for these … these pathetic, corrupt creatures?

If you remember, last week we took a little trip back in time … to that night in Bethlehem. Let’s picture that night once again. Bethlehem asleep under the stars … the shepherds out in the fields … the quiet punctuated by the occasional bleating of sheep. To the rest of the world … from the ...read more

If you really want to help others have a merry Christmas, let the Spirit of Christ be incarnated in your flesh, so that your life, acts, and words are used to encourage others.

Back in the 60's, a movie was made telling the story of a man, who, like Job, got so discouraged that he wished he had never been born.

The Alive And Active Word Of God

Contributed by Howard Strickland on Aug 21, 2016

Believing “out Of Yourself” And Into Christ Series

Contributed by Ron Tuit on Aug 28, 2015

Seeing is not always believing. The Jews who witnessed Jesus' miracle of feeding the 5,000 did not understand the truth about Jesus-that He was the manna from heaven in the flesh.

"Believing “Out of Yourself” and Into Christ:" John 6:22-34 John 6 contains 71 verses and includes 2 days in the ministry of Jesus. After Jesus fed the 5,000, He sent His disciples out ahead of Him while He spent time alone with His Father. Last week we had the privilege of ...read more

God's Powerful Word Incarnate

Contributed by Roger Hutto on Dec 29, 2017

Jesus is described as God in the flesh. He is the most definitive expression of who God is and what he is like. Just what does Jesus life and ministry reveal about God?

God's Powerful Word Incarnate John 1:1-5, 10-14; Hebrews 1:1-3; Philippians 2:5-8 They say a picture is worth a thousand words, because sometimes words just can't adequately describe an experience, or a person, or even a scenic view.

Out Of The Ordinary Series

Contributed by Perry Greene on Jul 1, 2019

As God in the flesh, Jesus lived an ordinary life in an extraordinary way. We too live extraordinarily in the ordinary because of the Spirit of Christ (or Holy Spirit) who indwells us.

1. A few weeks ago I made the statement in the sermon that disciples should like Jesus. I want to explore this reality over the next few weeks. I want us to look at some of the key characteristics of Jesus and make application to ourselves. If I am going to follow Jesus that means I am going to ...read more

Walking In The Spirit (A Journey Of Divine Transformation)

Contributed by Jm Raja Lawrence on Oct 29, 2025

The Christian life involves constant tension between flesh and Spirit. Victory comes not through human effort but through daily dependence on the Holy Spirit's power and guidance.

You possess both a new nature in Christ and the lingering presence of your old nature. Paul addresses this reality with striking clarity in Galatians 5:16-17, where he describes an ...read more

You Are Not Your Own

Contributed by Michael Stark on May 20, 2017

Sexual sin is ubiquitous in contemporary society; it is often excused among the faithful. We need to live with a focus on the Cross if we will honour God with our bodies in the midst of a world that has surrendered to the appetites of the flesh.

“Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So, glorify God in your body.” [1] Accepting Christ as Saviour transforms life—attitudes and actions take on new significance. The adage ...read more

Contributed by Zack Ford on May 28, 2015

The Godly Christian life is a life of warfare against sin and witness to an unbelieving world. Abstain from the passions of your flesh! Make war with your sin. And as you do this, continue to live lives that are honorable among the unbelieving world.
