Contributed by Ross Cochrane on May 17, 2012

There’s a shop on the corner of OBLIGATION STREET and RECIPROCITY. It advertises free tickets, scratch-its, gifts, invitations, free samples, biros, key-rings, 2 for one. All designed to make me feel OBLIGATED to give or buy or comply or compromise in som

Seek, Then Knock And Then Ask. Then See What Will Happen For You!

Contributed by Tony Abram on Jun 17, 2012

In this sermon outline I am changing the order of ask, seek and knock to seek, knock and ask. However, it will not change the message of Jesus. He still is the 'Prayer answering God' that loves us more than we can ever understand. God does want to a

Ask And Seek The Right Thing! Knock At The Right Door! Series

Contributed by Ken Henson on Jul 22, 2013

I've heard the exhortations to Ask, Seek and Knock in isolation from the Golden Rule. They are irrevocably connected. One concept leads to the other. Jesus points to the way God treats us in order to show us how treat each other.

Matthew 7:7 “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. The standard message on this passage is, we need to ask, and when we ask God ...read more

Do Not Take Side Series

Contributed by Dr. Amen Howard on Aug 13, 2013

One of the great characteristics of the body of Christ is to care about the burdens and sufferings of one another. However, as we seek to console and encourage friends that have been offended, we may be tempted to take up their offense against another.

In sympathy, we may tend to take their part against the pastor, the church or whoever they blame for the offense. This is very unwise and an unscriptural thing to do, considering that your friend may be the cause of his own/her offense, or trying to drag you out of faith. His/her hurt feelings may ...read more

Judge Not

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Oct 16, 2013

What's the difference between an appraisal and a judgment? If the devil can't destroy us by making us apathetic, he'll try to do it by making us judgmental.

It’s hard to talk about judging others without sounding judgmental! “Judge not lest ye be judged” is one of the most quoted and misunderstood verses in the Bible. People who never open a Bible, people who are biblically illiterate, still know this statement, and readily use ...read more
