    Contributed by Richard Papafio on Jan 10, 2019
     | 2,218 views

    Paul’s purpose was not to make an impression by his human ability and attainment but to let the Holy Spirit make an impression on them through his preaching.

    IMPRINTED Text: 1 Corinthians 2:1 – 11 1 Corinthians 2:1-11  When I came to you, brothers and sisters, I did not come proclaiming the mystery of God to you in lofty words or wisdom.  (2)  For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and him crucified. ...read more

     | 3,139 views

    America has become the land of idolatry. But before I make that claim, I need to make sure that I have the right definition of idolatry.

    Illus: Dr. Billy Graham says, "We usually think of an idol as a religious figure carved of wood or stone, perhaps in some primitive tribe far removed from civilization. But we have our "idols" today, because an idol is anything that you worship in place of the living God. Some ...read more

    The beginning of a new year is always a good time to make life changes. This sermon looks at the beattitudes as a framework for making resolutions of the heart for the new year.

    A. A woman named Jeanette Case from Erie, PA shared this story in Reader’s Digest. 1. Last year when I called my parents to wish them a happy New Year, my dad answered the phone and I asked him: “Well, Dad, what’s your New Year’s resolution?” 2.

    based on 6 ratings
     | 3,234 views

    God is not like us, He made us in His image, but we have left His goodness and tried to find our own way.

    The Credible Christian Man Series

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Dec 3, 2002
    based on 9 ratings
     | 8,770 views

    To be credible as Christians, men need to acknowledge their dependence on God in everything, to make God their first priority, to make their spiritual security more important than their financial security, humbly admit their mistakes and express their sex

    You may wonder whether a sermon in a Sunday service is the place to be talking about being a credible Christian man, given that at least half the congregation are women, but let me suggest that at least some of what we’ll talk about today is equally relevant to women, and even those bits that ...read more

    At the beginning of the new year and decade we must ask ourselves if there is any hint of anti-Christ in our hearts.

    New Year’s Eve 2019 Last or First? Our holy Scripture today is taken from the apostle John. The Gospel teaches about the beginning, and the letter tells us about the end.

    I want you to adopt 3 attitudes to make you a difference-maker and a life-changer. I want you to see three “I am” statements right here: I am under obligation," “I am eager," and I am not ashamed.”

    What you have just seen is incredible. This is a public baptism in a nation in SE Asia where other believers have been run out of their village and their homes burned to the ground.

    The decisions you make about the small matters of your life pay off great dividends in your future. The bad choices you make lead to megamiseries, but the correct and good and right and noble and pure choices you make lead to megablessings.

The first six chapters have to do with Daniel’s life, and some of the events are practical events to us. But chapters 6-12 are Bible prophecy. ...read more
