    Life teaches you a lot of things. I got this material from Chuck Swindoll and passed it on to my church. Many thanks to Brother Chuck for this sermon. I hope it will be a blessing to you if you've never read it.

    2 TIM. 3:14 “STUFF I’VE LEARNED” A) Before I share these with you, I want to help you smile a little! * Somebody sent me a cute article from some newspaper ... A class of fifth graders had submitted the things they had learned in life ... Here is a sampling from their gems of ...read more

    Why The Church Should Never Stop Giving Hope

    Contributed by Ronald Amaya on Jul 5, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,481 views

    The Bible has a very different perspective on hope – it is not the kind of hope we see in the dictionary. While the dictionary definition of hope makes it sound like leaving things to fate, the hope of the Bible is a powerful force and a raw material for faith.

    You can never give people too much hope. Hope is what gives people the faith to push through hard times. Hope is what makes people hold on when they are on the verge of throwing in the towel. Hope for a better tomorrow is what makes a teen push away those lingering suicidal thoughts. Hope is a ...read more

    “doing Things You’ve Never Done To Get Things You’ve Never Gotten.”

    Contributed by John Gaston on May 24, 2016
     | 9,590 views

    We can’t continue our half-hearted, part-time Christianity and expect dynamic N.T. results. Rather, we must attempt to adopt Bible devotion, practices, and obedience – then we can expect to have Bible results!

    DOING THINGS WE’VE NEVER DONE TO GET THINGS WE’VE NEVER GOTTEN INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: HE LOVED DRIVING TRAINS 1. In the early days of Texas, there was a man who drove trains for a living. He loved his job, but he was too reckless and caused a crash. He lived, but a one person died. He ...read more

    More Than One Master? Series

    One of the important areas that Jesus spoke a lot about was the enslavement to money and material possessions. Money is essential for our basic needs and daily living, but we should be wary to not let money become our master. Here is a study on being under different masters!

    More than one master? We read like this in Matthew 6:24, “No man is able to be a servant to two masters: for he will have hate for the one and love for the other, or he will keep to one and have no respect for the other. You may not be servants of God and of wealth.” (BBE) In the above mentioned ...read more

    Spiritual Networth

    Contributed by John Roy on Oct 26, 2016
     | 7,430 views

    Are we material people trapped in spiritual bodies, or spiritual people trapped in material bodies? This sermon asserts that we need to be concerned about our spiritual net worth, because we are spiritual people.

    From time to time I suspect people review their finances. In those reviews, they may take a moment to calculate their net worth. Our financial net worth is the value of all assets, minus the total of all liabilities. Put another way, net worth is what is owned minus what is owed. The value of ...read more

    Don’t grumble because you don’t have what you want, be thankful you don’t get what you deserve. The rich young ruler missed the true meaning of Life that only Jesus can give, let’s examine it together!

    Worry kills us, it destroys our joy and takes many things from our lives. Let’s study today what God’s word has to tell us in light of this.

    So what does God’s word tell us about this preoccupation many of us have with worrying? Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? ...read more
