    The Consolation Of Confession

    Contributed by Donnie Martin on Jun 28, 2004
    based on 35 ratings
     | 4,881 views

    It seems to be one of mankind’s innate flaws--the tendency to hide his sin and wrong. But concealing our sin solves nothing. Only by confession can we hope to experience inner peace and relief.

    THE CONSOLATION OF CONFESSION Text: I John 1: 9; Ps.32: 5 Intro: As you listened to that title you may have thought to yourself that the ideas of consolation and confession simply don’t go together. After all, we don’t normally think of confession in a positive light. The idea of ...read more

    Though there is nothing wrong with giving and celebration, we as Christians need to remember that Christmas is about Christ, and about why He came into the world.

    CONSIDERATIONS CONCERNING THE CHRIST OF CHRISTMAS Text: Luke 2: 1-16 Intro: Christmas, though it has been much corrupted and commercialized over the years, is still a somewhat pleasant time out at the end of the year. It’s a time when, even if only out of dutiful habit, people seem to focus ...read more

     | 7,517 views

    All this leads me to an important subject I have been wanting to address. What is it? It is the temptation to believe that earthly honors will automatically result in heavenly rewards.

    IT’S TIME TO LAUGH NO CONFIDENCE IN THE FLESH Philippians 3:1-11 A while ago I talked with a man who said that he needed to work harder at being happier. That got my attention. He said he’d been raised in an ultraserious home. He said, My parents taught us that we could achieve whatever we ...read more

    The central question in life, in the church, in every circumstance is - "Who do we say that Jesus is."

    According to Hegessipus, an early Christian historian - Peter, having been urged to flee by the Christians in Rome, was on his way out of that violent city, when he saw a vision of Jesus. Peter asked the Lord where He was going and the Lord told him that He was on His way to be crucified again. ...read more

    based on 36 ratings
     | 6,353 views

    We often have a tendency to mask our failure to love others by referring to it as a “complex issue”. It’s not true. Jesus shows us how utterly simple the issue actually is.

    “It’s A LONG STORY; A COMPLEX ISSUE; A GRAY AREA”. You have heard statements like this haven’t you? Perhaps you used them yourself. Phrases like this are often used as a way to bring an end to a discussion. More often then not, those who say them are trying to bring an end to a ...read more

    This morning, as we continue into our New Year, I’d like to take a look at a verse that I think we ought to read every day of the year. As a reminder of just WHO our God is:

    I found an old file entitled: “Kids on Love & Marriage” Concerning the Proper Age to Get Married "Once I’m done with kindergarten, I’m going to find me a wife." -Bert, Age 5 "Twenty-three is the best age because you know the person FOREVER by then." -Camille, age 10 "No age is good to get ...read more
