     | 2,611 views

    This is the 3rd of 11 Studies on the Book of James and it talks about God being the giver of all good gifts, the importance of being careful with our words in conflict and the importance of being doers of the word, and not hearers only,

    James 1:16-18 16 Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren. 17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning. 18 Of His own will He brought us forth by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of ...read more

     | 2,294 views

    What does Scripture teach about divorce? Does God encourage divorce? Is divorce permissible for any reason? Jesus reveals much regarding these significant questions.

    A Word Concerning Divorce (Part 1) Matthew 5: 31-32 As we approach our text, I am reminded of the words of Dr. Alan Carr. “When you preach through books of the Bible one of the great blessings is that, sooner or later, you will preach on every subject imaginable. But, one of the disadvantages is ...read more

    Forgiving Difficult People Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,682 views

    Jesus taught about dealing with difficult people. He stressed how we should not run away from our problems, or fight back against opposition, but that we should persist with people, so we can one day win them to faith in Christ.

    There is nothing easy about the world in which we live. This is a world full of people, and if we are going to succeed in life, or be effective at sharing the gospel, we must learn how to deal with people, especially those who are difficult; and we must learn to love them no matter how they treat ...read more

    What about those who can truly claim faithfulness in marriage, before and during? What did Jesus say?

    Like murder can exist in our hearts when we don't value other people's lives, how many of us have truly been unfaithful to a spouse? Probably more have been unfaithful before or during marriage than have committed actual murder, but what about those who can truly claim faithfulness in ...read more

     | 2,731 views

    Most of us have, at some point, desired to get even with those who have wronged us. There is something within our human nature that desires to “return the favor.” These attitudes are contrary to God's will for our lives.

     | 4,651 views

    Ask God to give you love for your enemies.

    A. INTRODUCTION 1. The word “enemy” is in quotation marks to show they are not permanent enemies. 2. Beware of “enemies’ lists.” Only list them for prayer. 3. Looking through Jesus’ eyes will change everything. 4. Don’t be naive. The Bible doesn’t say; “If” you have enemies. It says, “Love your ...read more

    Jesus calls us to an extreme love, to even love our enemies. He calls us to lay down our rights for revenge, and shows us that God has already given us that kind of love, while we were God's enemy.

    Luke 6:27-36 Extreme Love [Please contact me at kerry.n.haynes@gmail.com for sermon outline in Word.] Today’s passage is a tough one; that’s why I chose it, so I could better understand it myself.
